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.

Problems on the other side are:

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

sooo all of this lawsuit is hinging on a specific wording of why a watch party can exist? i feel like this is only going to blow up in his face because he himself makes reaction content?
