Local YouTuber Jianhan JianHao Tan then responded directly to these tweets.
Along with a series of other tweets about his success on the platform.
He also asked viewers to look at his content in entirely before judging it, and at the same time, "do something more creative in their life (sic)".
Tan similarly responded on his Instagram account.
The conflict was first spotted by Facebook page Kiasu Memes For Singaporean Teens (KMFST), who posted snippets of the drama.
KMFST featured an Instagram user who did not appear to be Tan's fan.
Despite the naysayers, however, a number of people have also spoken up for Tan.

Doesn’t matter if 10 people or 10 million people like your content. As a content creator you’re doing things these people like and more importantly you’re doing things you like.

Honestly, your Class T1T5 videos is the best project you've done thus far, because it's partially relatable to my schooling experience and the humor hits home.
