Dream mocks YouTube for demonetizing HasanAbi video

HasanAbi took to Twitter after receiving an email from YouTube stating that his most recent video was demonetized after being manually reviewed. The video, titled "Dear Conservatives: GAY PEOPLE EXIST", was deemed by the platform to not be suitable for all advertisers. He expressed his disappointment with YouTube's decision, saying it was wrong for the website to take this stance on his video.

Dream, the immensely successful Minecraft YouTuber, responded to the tweet with a sarcastic jab. It can be inferred that he supports HasanAbi's video and is also criticizing the move to demonetize the video by YouTube. He poked fun at the idea of LGBT people not existing. He joked that they were a myth created by gay frogs in the water, in reference to a notorious rant by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Google, YouTube's parent company, has a history of supporting LGBT rights. However, the YouTube platform has a history of demonetizing videos that cover LGBT topics regardless of their context. With that in mind, it may be seen as unsurprising that HasanAbi's video was demonetized.

Fans react to Dream's tweet about HasanAbi's video

Given the size of his audience, it's not surprising that the YouTuber's reply to HasanAbi generated more responses than the original tweet. Many fans have poked fun at the YouTuber in the past for keeping his sexuality private. Fans that joke about his sexuality had a field day with this tweet.

He has stated in the past that he feels comfortable enough with his sexuality that he's open to joking about it with his friends. He is known for keeping many personal details about himself private, so his decision not to openly speak about his sexuality is not surprising.

The two-time Streamy winner is a supporter of LGBT rights and has many LGBT fans. It was likely expected that he would take this stance in support of HasanAbi's video, as well as have a little fun with the situation by joking about it.
