During a recent livestream, political commentator Hasan Piker made a point that really seemed to hit home with fellow creator Ian “iDubbbz” Carter, causing a noticeable moment of self-reflection that has since grabbed a ton of attention online.
The viral clip, titled “Hasan makes Ian think,” shows iDubbbz listening closely to Hasan’s comments before his whole face changes. Fans say you could practically “see the gears turning” as Ian processed how Hasan’s words might relate to his own life and career.

This moment really hit home for longtime fans who’ve followed iDubbbz’s journey from the sharp-tongued “Content Cop” days to his much more thoughtful style now. Ian’s been super open about rethinking some of his old, edgier videos and how he handles criticism.
“It’s like Ian realizes Hasan might be talking about him,” one viewer pointed out, while another joked that Ian had “unlocked self-awareness at age 34.” The clip quickly became a talking point for streamers and online communities.
All of this shows how public figures like iDubbbz deal with growing and changing in front of the internet. iDubbbz has gotten both support and pushback from fans as he’s ditched his more controversial style, so Hasan’s impact on him here felt especially real.
Hasan and Ian both have big online followings—Hasan as a well-known political voice on Twitch, and Ian as a longtime YouTube personality now working on things like Creator Clash boxing events. Their honest, unscripted moment on stream let viewers see how even big-name creators can still change their thinking.
