“A real job doesn’t suck your soul out of you”
What did HasanAbi say? Political streamer HasanAbi claimed in a stream on Twitch on February 24 that streaming is harder than a real job. He argued that traditional work can be grueling and tiring, but it isn’t as taxing on the soul as streaming.

HasanAbi says the clip was “taken completely out of context”
HasanAbi spoke out on X on February 24 and said the clip was taken out of context. He compared it to his previous job as a salesman. HasanAbi also emphasizes in the article that he can see how lucky he is every day:
It’s wild how this completely out of context clip found its way to Twitter so quickly. I talked about how a 9 hour stream drains my social battery & how I can’t socialize afterward and compared it to my sales job before.
I realize how lucky I am every day!
How did xQc react? The original claims in HasanAbi’s short clip sparked a response from xQc. He replied in a reaction stream on Twitch that HasanAbi should try out a job as a salesman to experience the real difficulties.
xQc expressed that personally, on the whole, he would rather sit on his stupid ass than deal with the day-to-day challenges of real work life.
As examples, he cited the challenges of dealing with difficult customers, clients or bosses. xQc revealed that in some professions you often feel the desire to make bad comments – just that you can’t do it without consequences.
He gave a few examples and then apologized to his chat for his outbursts. He forgot that he was streaming on Twitch.
