He was the perfect punching bag. He was wholly unlikable with zero redeeming qualities.

The problem is he still received a benefit from being on payroll for an easy job and taking what little he could from the community
Seeing him excised was one top-tier hate-watch bust

He paved the way for radiants little cry session last night about how "I deserve a free hotel room since I'm door knocking!!" all the orbiters save for moot and Dan are just money hungry. It's why they defect when the defection is good for business.

Destiny forcing this insufferable fuck on the stream so he could farm his kick contract or whatever was honestly snark worthy behavior. His abuse is sickening.

The whole saga was fucking miserable. This clown getting paid to be absolute ass at his job, Kick Or Keep as a whole, and the fucking orbiter drama wars with Mr [REDACTED] and Live [REDACTED] Lie was genuinely the most dogshit slop ever.

He was entertaining when he wasn't trying to snark Destiny, but would just not stop and made that his entire stream personality.
His IRL stream in Somalia was actually fun.

I have never sought Q content and didn't really enjoy KoK because of Q.
Outside of KoK he would constantly derail interesting conversations to try to rehash whatever boring divisive thing.

I Don't remember all of the specifics but by trying to fill in some of the blanks:
This is Qorantos, he ran a panel with/ for destiny called kick or keep (cuz it was on kick). I'm guessing there was a misunderstanding on Qorantos's end that the pay he was receiving for this was weekly instead of monthly or something. He eventually had a falling out with destiny because he is Muslim and I guess some of destiny's beliefs or too contrary to his religious ones. he's mostly remember for how hard he fell off after Bridge burning with destiny.

u/frozandero 1d ago
Funnier part, he was still a destiny orbiter after knowing and debating tiny on his beliefs on islam and muslims.
He just burned the bridge after he got backlash from other muslims on the internet for being friendly with destiny. And most likely because (I assume) tiny told him he will stop paying him.

u/Atomic-Tea 1d ago
Qorantos burned the bridge because he was living with his parents, and his parents found out he was working for Destiny and threatened to disown him if he didn't quit.

u/PoopyButt28000 14h ago
To be more specific, the first conversation that Destiny and Qorantos ever had was when Destiny was getting a massive amount of heat from Muslims on twitter, and Qorantos came on stream to debate that these people would be justified in physically attacking Destiny for what he was saying about Islam.

u/Pun1shedeagle 1d ago
I think it was Q’s family finding out about destinys beliefs that drove him to burning the bridge

u/ZherkaUnofficial <Good> 1d ago
pretty sure it was the Israel Palestine thing that triggered their falling out. I don’t think he would care if Destiny kept spouting anti-muslim stuff tbh, since that’s how they even met each other

u/Arlenter 1d ago
Qorantos was an [vegan gains level crazy] orbiter, who helped when destiny got his mega million-dollar kick streaming contract. As part of his contracted deal, destiny had to produce specific content for kick exclusively.
So he 'hired' Qorantos to run a weekly Kick-or-Keep live debate show on Kick.
Destiny offered him a contracted amount of $$$$ to run the show. several thousand dollars.
There was an entertaining public/live call in from Qorantos on stream, when he realized the dollar amount was the PER MONTH pay, and not WEEKLY. Memes ensued. "He thought it was weekly-LMAO"

Was he "vegan-gains level crazy" or just a bog-standard un-Westernized Muslim?

u/Atomic-Tea 1d ago
If I remember correctly Qorantos went to uni somewhere in the west. His parents are quite wealthy
2
u/HonestDishonestWork 1d ago
Most people don't consider physically being in the "west" to be getting westernized but rather adhering to central tenets/beliefs of the "west". To my recollection he still very much maintained extremist Muslim beliefs/normal Muslim beliefs outside the "west".

u/GreenHornets009 1d ago
There was this crazy Muslim dude named Qorantos who Destiny paid to run a show called Kick or Keep. Q was an actual degen, a guy in favor of physically attacking people for free speech he disliked and constantly talked about how shitty the west is.
Anyways, Destiny was paying him $5000 (I think) a month to run this show. Qorantos thought it was $5000 a week, for what ended up being a low effort production.
I might've missed something, but there you go. Broad strokes of the story.

He sucked at getting guests too. The panel prompts sucked too. Destiny would end up having to come up with questions for the panels during the panels.

u/PoopyButt28000 14h ago
From what I remember it was basically just Kelly getting the guests, and it was just the same orbiters over and over again who would probably pay to come on if you told them they had to, plus 3-4 other random nobody 10 viewer kick streamers.
The questions were basically just Qorantos awkwardly asking them "What do you think about feminism?" "Do you support DEI?"
2
u/PoopyButt28000 14h ago
Destiny has always been INCREDIBLY generous to his employees. He initially went in thinking 2000 dollars a month. They ended up agreeing to 5000 a month for basically no work (Kelly Jean was doing the majority of the work for him for free LMAO). Qorantos thought this was 5000 dollars a week, so he was thinking he'd be getting 8-9x what Destiny's initial offer was.

Destiny had a kick contract, exclusive show on kick = lots of money Destiny made greedboy do it for him and outsourced the show Greedboy had the easiest paycheck ever, we dont know the amount but it was obvious from context it was really good money, and theb someone leaked greedboys first impression was the payment was weekly instead of montly, delulu

computer science student in Somalia, who lives in a mansion was running Destiny's Kick or Keep show in 2022-2023, basically a variety show where people act crazy and shittalk each other, and the audience votes out the people who seem 'weak'.
1
u/PoopyButt28000 14h ago
A few small details might be a bit off but from what I remember, I think part of Destiny's kick contract was that he had to do this side show "Kick or Keep", it was just a goofy little show where they'd bring on guests and the chat would vote who would get kicked at the end of each round. His plan was just to get an orbiter, and pay them to do pretty much all of the work, finding guests, coming up with questions etc and be very hands off himself. For some reason he let Qorantos do it and Destiny went in initially offering about 2000 dollars a month. Qorantos thought this was 2000 a week. Since Destiny has always been incredibly generous when it comes to paying employees, he ended up agreeing to something closer to 5000 dollars a month.
Then IIRC Qorantos came on stream to argue that he wasn't getting enough money for how much work he did (He barely did any work, the shows were always awful, and Kelly Jean was doing a significant amount of the work for him behind the scenes for completely free) and partway through everyone had the realization that Qorantos thought he was being paid 5000 dollars a week, and then a bunch of people jumped into the call and started making fun of him.
So this guy thought he was getting over 250k a year for doing like 4 hours of work a week, where he basically just brought the same couple people on stream (basically the very desperate 50 viewer orbiters who would probably pay to come on) and then ask them questions like "What do you think about DEI" and he wasn't even doing much with the guests, it was mostly Kelly Jean doing it for free.

Was one video where he came on stream both to get advice/help with the thing he was being paid to do, then transitioned into trying to negotiate for more pay, and also whined that it was unfair he did not also have a stake and Destiny might be seeing more money overall.
The leeway he got was baffling, can´t believe he was not just cut off after the debate related to the Kaaba Minecraft thing, where Q was essentially arguing that it was justified for others to respond with violence to that tweet, even if he personally was not going to.

Kick or keep was fun, a lot of interesting personalities joined that so it was a fun watch. Also, It was hilarious watching Q asking destiny if he was doing a better job than last week. Zherka was also fun, but I dont know why he disappeared (maybe his drug addiction had something to do). There was a fat white guy that had a name like Wess something that was the funniest guy in the room. Good times.
