“Levy gets personally offended when people make fun of him... I find that a little bit weak” — Hikaru Nakamura

“The reality is you’re making content to make money.

If you want to have a bigger philosophical discussion or debate about content or how people should be doing something for a greater good, that’s fine. But that has nothing to do with content creators themselves.

That’s more an issue with society. You can’t blame a content creator for doing that. You basically have to blame society for prioritizing what gets the most clicks.

However, the only thing I will say that I don’t like — this is just a general point — it is specifically about Levy. The one thing that I don’t like is that I get the sense that Levy gets very offended when people make fun of him.

When he plays badly, or does badly, or people make videos, or people make fun of him, I feel like he gets personally offended by that. And I find that a little bit weak. Because if you’re going to go and make videos about everyone, and act like how bad Gukesh is, how bad I am, how bad Magnus is, whatever else — you got to be able to take it when you get beaten around a little bit.”
