The irony of chatters accusing Hasan of not reading enough while he spends half his stream doing the reading for them is what stands out most. Many in the chat are incapable of reading, so he provides a valuable service by vocalizing text they cannot process themselves. This defensive rebuttal targets specific criticism from viewers who spend every waking moment on Twitch yet read far less than the host. Hasan explicitly stated he dislikes that Norm claimed he doesn't read enough given his twelve-hour daily schedule. He confirmed reading Goss's Gravediggers and noted that Norman Finkelstein spoke extensively about him, even if they seemed to speak past one another during their interaction. The accusation of illiteracy directed at him by these chatters was firmly rejected as absurd. It is extra funny to see people tell him he isn't doing enough reading when they are just sitting there while he performs their reading tasks. The New York Times article mentioned next highlights the ongoing debate over literacy habits versus streaming time. Hasan refuses to hear from anyone about his illiteracy when those same people lack the ability to engage with text directly.
