How controversial influencer Ethan Klein rose to fame, from feuds and Frenemies to being banned from YouTube for a week

Ethan Klein was born June 24, 1985 in California, and according to his LinkedIn profile, studied English Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz between 2004 and 2009.

In a 2017 YouTube video, Klein said that he experienced generalized anxiety disorder throughout college, which led to him taking a trip to Israel in 2007 as part of the Birthright program, which offers to fund 10-day trips to Israel for people of Jewish heritage. Klein’s family is Ashkenazi Jewish. It was during this trip to Israel that he met his now-wife Hila Hacmon, who was then serving as a soldier in the Israel Defence Forces as part of a two-year mandatory military service.

After moving to California, the couple started a YouTube channel called H3H3Productions (an ode to Ethan and Hila’s initials) in April 2011, followed by a second channel called H3 Podcast. Both channels are extremely popular, with million subscribers each, but the Kleins’ content — which frequently involves commentating on other YouTubers — has led to a number of clashes and controversies over the years.

Taking advantage of the “reaction video” trend that swept YouTube in the early 2010s, the Kleins put their own twist on it. The usual formula for an H3H3 reaction video involved intercutting pieces of the source video with biting commentary and related skits.

The channel soared in popularity in 2016 when they posted a video titled “VAPE NATION,” which satirized the cultural obsession with vaping at the time. Dressing up as a “typical vaper” with psychedelic glasses, a marijuana-patterned headscarf, and a socks-with-sandals combo, Klein interacted with various members of the public in New York without breaking character. – Source
