Somebody asked me where Hasan came from and I realized I had no idea and just knew he was affiliated with The Young Turks at one point. So I looked and lol:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_Piker#The_Young_Turks wrote:During his senior year of college in 2013, Piker interned for The Young Turks (TYT), a progressive news show and network co-founded by his uncle, Cenk Uygur. After graduating, Piker was hired by the network's ad sales and business department. He asked to host the show when a fill-in was needed and later became a host and producer.[7][19]Literally all his credentials are that he was Cenk's nephew.
In 2016, Piker created and hosted The Breakdown, a TYT Network video series which aired on Facebook and presented left-leaning political analyses targeted, at the time, at millennial supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.[16][19] Piker also contributed political content to HuffPost from 2016 to 2018.[1][20][21]
Twitch
Piker started streaming on Twitch in March 2018 while working at TYT.[6] In January 2020, he left TYT to focus on his career as a Twitch streamer.[22]
