HasanAbi reacts to the details of his donation to ALU

According to Business Insider, HasanAbi is a donor to the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). ALU raised $850,000 last year. And about half of it came from three sources. The American Federation of Teachers and the International Commission for Labour Rights were two among them. Surprisingly, Hasan Piker, well known as HasanAbi to his fans, was the third name on the list.

Piker has now joked about this revelation on Twitter. The Twitch streamer said to keep things hushed about this as Twitch owner, Jeff Bezos, is also on Twitter.

The fans have started commenting on this revelation too; some say it is ironic that Bezos indirectly funded the union in his company through Piker, while some are also claiming HasanAbi donated the large donation just for clout.

Regarding the latest changes in Twitter checkmarks, HasanAbi has called this decision dumb. Now, the Twitter checkmark reveals an ambiguous message on whether the person has bought verification or is legacy verified. “They straight up realized the only value of Twitter blue is duping people into thinking it’s a legacy checkmark, after Elon said he was eliminating legacy blue checkmarks,” tweeted HasanAbi, “Elon is so f**king dumb lmao.”
