Here's the problem:

I've never heard of Hank Green before now. Neither has anyone criticizing him. So the first question we have is "who is this person?" and the next question is "why are they interviewing the president?"

On first inspection, the answer to Q1 is "yet another archetypal youtube fuck." This is reinforced when the answer to Q2 is "because Youtube." "she did ____ once, thus anything she says is invalid" isn't the point - it's more like "She did _____ once, what has she done since?" and in the case of everyone here, the answer is "fuckall."

You like Hank Green. I've never heard of him. So I look him up on Wikipedia and discover he's responsible for the towering circlejerk known as VidCon and already I'm subconsciously mumbling lawyer jokes. Then I read the insipid piece of detritus above and what ends up hurt is your credibility.

If someone wishes to be taken seriously beyond Youtube, they need to accomplish something beyond Youtube. Yet the argument presented here is "I'm on Youtube, you're a hater." I mean, examine this for a a minute:

Hotel security just chastised me for practicing my interview questions too loudly! I'M INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT YOU CAN SLEEP TOMORROW!!

There are a few interpretations here:

1) Mr. Green needed something to tweet, so he made up an altercation.

2) Mr. Green is so self-involved that he doesn't even realize conversations should be performed in a conversational tone of voice.

3) Mr. Green wishes the entire world to know that he's so excited about him that he forgot not to shout into an empty room.

(because really, shouting into an empty room is the essence of tuberdom)

A friend's dad once called to complain to the management of the Hyatt Regency Reunion in Dallas because the people above him were making far too much noise. As it turns out, the people above him were The Beastie Boys, who opted to warm up for the opener of The Together Forever Tour (with Run DMC) by rawkin' out in their suite. And you know what? The Hyatt got the Beasties to quiet down because it's impolite to warm up for your arena tour where other people are trying to relax. Even if you're the Beastie Boys.

Hank Green is not the Beastie Boys. If he ever wants to be the Beastie Boys, he needs to attract the interest of people who don't give the first fuck about Youtube. What he's doing here is increasing my hatred of Youtube and everyone on it... and I say that knowing Youtube-related work made me more than $30k last year.
