• Gabbie Hanna and Trisha Paytas are both at the center of recent YouTube controversies.
• The two are intertwined in years-long sagas about influencer accountability.
• Now, both of them are being accused of hypocrisy in how they interface with other creators.

YouTubers Gabbie Hanna and Trisha Paytas aren't only feuding with each other anymore. Now, the controversial stars are battling YouTube viewers and fans.

After Paytas' dramatic exit from the H3H3 Podcast "Frenemies" and a revealing call between Hanna and her ex-friend was leaked, the two have become some of the biggest targets for criticism in the YouTube ecosystem.

While their feud with Hanna has been ongoing since 2019, Paytas - who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns - became a YouTube fan favorite in 2021 thanks to their perceived character growth on "Frenemies."

Now that "Frenemies" is over and Paytas has turned against co-host Ethan Klein, ex-fans are pointing out similarities between Paytas and Hanna. Both creators have been accused of hypocrisy, but their dedication to the online spotlight means they won't be going offline any time soon.
