On May 5, 2023, popular Twitch streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" hosted an IRL stream from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. For context, film and television writers went on strike on May 2, 2023, after failing to reach an agreement with streaming services for better working conditions and pay.
Matan Even, popularly known as the "Bill Clinton Kid" who crashed The Game Awards 2022, appeared on stream while HasanAbi was broadcasting. He started trolling by saying that he "loved" landlords and was "waging war" on unions.
The incident was shared on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, and it quickly became a hot topic of conversation. Several community members were unhappy with Matan's antics, with Redditor u/hastrom commenting:

Matan appeared on the stream, holding a protest sign that read, "We love landlords." He claimed that he was "against unions" because they aren't "fair" to corporations:
"We love landlords. War against unions. We are here to protest against landlords and the unions. We love them. Can we do, like, a quick shake on hands, that we love landlords? Look! (More people appear on the camera) We love landlords! We love them a lot. We're all against unions. They are not fair to the corporate companies."
