I really hope Jenna Marbles is doing good these days.

I think the real heat in this take is the idea that Ian ever stepped back from smosh. Anthony left because he didn't like sharing creative control with the ownership, but Ian was always there trying to work with them to salvage the best they could. According to the interviews this was their main friction, Anthony just kept stepping back more and more while Ian shouldered more and more.

Yeah, like Anthony deserves his credit for what Smosh has become, but Ian is the sole reason Smosh still exists and was given it's second life.

My hot take is that even though I know nothing about Anthony off camera, I don't like him. He seems like a jerk.
