Twitch and Kick streamer Felix "xQc" has responded to political commentator Hasan "HasanAbi's" recent hot take. On February 25, 2024, a 20-second clip went viral on social media platforms such as Reddit and X, in which HasanAbi suggested that livestreaming is harder than a "real job."
The Turkish-American personality claimed that a "real job" can be gruesome and tiring; however, it "doesn't suck the soul" as streaming does. HasanAbi said:
"Yes, a real job can be gruesome. A real job can make you very tired. But a real job doesn't suck the soul out of you. You know what I mean? In the same way that nine hours of streaming absolutely will."
In response, Felix remarked that HasanAbi should "try a sales job." He then shared his thoughts on the "grand scheme of things," saying:
"It depends. I mean, the point of the fact is, like, maybe a few jobs. Maybe, in the grand scheme of things, I would much prefer to sit here on my dumb a*s than f**king go out there and f**king deal with dumb a*s f**king customers or clients, or f**k a*s h*es, bosses, and s**t."
The former Overwatch pro continued:
"And you just want to f**king say, 'How about f**k you and go die, man!' Well, you can't say that. Sorry, chat. Sorry. I had flashbacks. Guys, I had flashbacks. My bad. I take it all back. I forgot I'm on Twitch."
