Ethan Klein’s reported $1 million defamation lawsuit against fellow YouTuber Ian “iDubbbz” Washburn has hit a snag over the H3 snark subreddit. According to internet culture reporter Steven Asarch, court documents show Klein wanted iDubbbz to publicly condemn snark communities as part of a settlement. iDubbbz refused, stalling the deal. Asarch claims the H3 snark subreddit has been a recurring theme in Klein’s legal filings. Klein has not commented. The dispute stems from a livestream that, as per Asarch, only a few hundred people watched.
