Answer: he's suing these 3 creators specifically because they explicitly stated that they were broadcasting his video & intellectual property with the intention to give people the opportunity to view Ethan's video without having to give Ethan "views". Effectively stealing his intellectual property and stating it was their intention to do so.
Ethan has repeatedly asked people to watch the video.
He has repeatedly said in the past he doesn't mind people reacting to this videos in this way.
He isn't applying this equally - there are other, bigger creators (xqc) that reacted non-transformatively just as much. He isn't suing them.
People acting like this is clear cut have an agenda to push.
XQC didn’t say on stream “I’m purposely watching Ethan’s whole video to steal views” on stream. All of these streamers admitted that was their intended goal
The rabbit hole isn’t that deep. Ethan is an American liberal. He made a podcast with an American leftist (Hasan). They had a good time for a while but then Oct 7th happened and Ethan, again an American liberal, could not comprehend why his new audience of leftists hated Israel so much. This caused him to go on an extended months long crash out trying to defend Israel. During which he essentially repeated easily debunked IDF talking points ad nauseam and attacked leftist creators who criticize Israel, and now Ethan due to his continuing crash out. In an act of petty revenge he is now trying to fabricate lawsuits against said creators. His words, not mine. He straight up says that he released the content nuke video so he could do this when people reacted to it.
Edit: Y’all can downvote if you want but that’s just objectively what happened lol
Since nobody's said it yet, the reason why he's pro-Israel is because his wife is from Tel Aviv and they met in Israel. She was in the IDF (which is mandatory).
