If he gets 1/400th of his followers to pay $5 for each of his

WHERE

IS

THE

MONEY

GOING

?

wow someone on the internet is so fucking offended at a guy exchanging a service for money that he made a useless post on 4chan about it thats pretty autistic if you ask me

Not bad for a /mu/tant who bought a webcam instead of getting a tripcode and being filtered.

Already ahead of you as I have never watched one of his videos

>>53330161
He wont get 1/400 of his followers to do so, however, he does probably have a nice income.
Anyways, why do you care anon? Let the man enjoy his money, you don't have to pay him from your own pocket. You also dont have to watch him if you don't like him - I dont, and I'm feeling just fine.

good for him. he's entertaining 300k people he deserves to be compensated.

>>53330187
>exchanging a service for money

Thousands of other /mu/tants do it daily for free, what makes this one better?

>>53330161
i doubt 1 in 400 will pay for that especially because almost all of his subscriber are from here and they download most of their music for free

anyway its his job, i would try to make as much money as i could

reminder he's just a /mu/tant with a webcam. you're paying a guy with no credibility whatsoever just to tell you what he likes. lol at you dumb losers

>>53330187
Fuck off Anthony you fat turd

>>53330216
Do you pay to watch RayWilliamJohnson and Shane Dawson too?

>>53330187
>a service

if making piece of shit youtube videos about his opinions is a "service" then so is posting your own views on 4chan

>>53330219

he has a webcam

It's literally just paying to see some content early, who gives a shit if someone wants to pay for that?

>>53330262
Hampus will post nudes if you ask him, how much do you pay him to post his opinion on albums?

>>53330219
don't know, don't care, why do you?

just because its a service doesnt make it a good one

i'm sure as fuck not going to give fantano any money, why anyone cares that other people will is beyond me

To be honest, he made a living out of his opinions, and recording them, and putting them online. He was really lucky that he could do that. Also, he has a pretty good taste. Of course, sometimes I disagree with his reviews, but come on. He's really up to date and does his job pretty good - other than those cringeworthy "show element" wannabe stuff.

>>53330161

what kind of webcam gives off that quallity?

Jewtano is finally showing his true colors

>>53330310
Why? He is just a /mu/tant who recorded his opinions on cam instead of posting them like he used to before, why are they worth money now?

>>53330277
underhated ghost

>>53330334
because he's putting in a lot of time and effort to entertain. it's his job

>>53330365

Are there actually people on /mu/ who put this un-musically educated /mu/tants opinions in higher regard than other un-musically educated /mu/tants opinions?

>>53330477
yes anthony works to entertain every day and he's been doing it long enough to amass almost 400k people who want to be entertained by him.

what's your point

>>53330161
Fatmano is a kike. What's new?
Honestly, I'm becoming disenfranchised with his efforts and this puts a cap on it.

>>53330508
>this isn't a question of whether he is "good" or not

Oh Anthony

I seriously don't get why you're all so upset about this. The whole 4chan meme hive-mind is getting pretty tiring the more time I spend in this place.

he's just incredibly bad at asking for money

if he worded this whole thing a little differently there wouldn't much of a negative reaction, this fatty is dumb as a rock

>>53330555
?

lol you kids are so attached to this guy's opinions it's pathetic. you trend hopper types are what made mu shit with your last.fm and pitchfork ratings garbage. want to really enjoy your music? stop making it a fucking social media bullshit popularity contest and just listen to it

What is wrong with someone making some cash through reviews and editorials?

Lots of people (myself included) appreciate his reviews and look to him (and other reviewers) for insight, or at least a different take on recordings.


Reviewers and editorial writers have traditionally been paid for their work, and at some point they need to be to continue to fully devote themselves to it.

Why all this mad? Seriously, will OP or someone who has an issue with this please explain the problem here?

>>53330418

he fucked this video up in every way possible, nobody got angry when he did the hangout thingies and so on but this is just a fucking mess

>>53330633
it's not about whether or not his opinions are valid.

he's ENTERTAINING. 400k people watch him for entertainment. doesn't matter what the takeaway is.

he deserves money for being able to amass this many people and keep them entertained.

internets greediest music nerd

>>53330633
>He is a /mu/tant with a webcam
Okay.

>if you value his opinion any more than anyone else here you are retarded.

non sequitur

>>53330633
It's not about valuing anyone's opinion any more than anyone else's. People look to reviews to hear what other people might see in an album that they may not have. It's just about getting a different take, has nothing to do with wanting to agree with the reviewer or whatever you seem to think. At least not with me. He just happens to be more articulate than the average /mu/tant and his opinions come in the form of easily accessible videos. There's really not much to it.

>>53330670
No, this is a /mu/tant charging people for his opinion on albums which he could post here for free.

Whether you are entertained by his behaviour is irrelevant.

>>53330753
wrong

there's a reason he has 400k followers and you don't

>all of these people upset that fanty can make a living doing what he loves
>mfw imagining fanty reading this thread and laughing at how seriously you all take music reviews

he's an internet personality who people like to enjoy hearing from. i haven't agreed with a single review of his this year but he's still entertaining to listen to. sometimes (probably more often than you'd think) he turns people on to new music

sometimes i wish that he'd put more thought into talking about albums that didn't just include a track breakdown. but otherwise, listening to another passionate music listeners thoughts on stuff is just enjoyable

>>53330715
>non sequitur

Factually wrong.

>>53330592
That's literally what Anthony is doing

>>53330753
What's wrong with that? If people want to pay for his reviews they can. Most people here wouldn't but I don't begrudge him trying to make money off something he does well.

>>53330772
plus, in order for him to put out as much as he does, and truly make it something he's dedicated to, he's gotta have some sort of revenue to support it. otherwise he'd be doing it as a side thing that wouldn't grow like he'd want it to

>>53330858
Not that guy but I actually do.

and yeah, roughnecking is way physically harder work than online music reviewing and Fantano prolly couldn't hack it.

That said, there's no way I could do what he does successfully. And saying he spends 2 hours twice a week on it is like saying a pro football player only works 16 hours a year. The prep time behind what you actually see is huge.

I said it last night and I'll say it again.

Fantano is a fat faggot bitch whore who deserves to take it up the ass

The fact that he will use this easy money to go to Tim Horton's three times a day to shovel chocolate pancakes in his face is an insult to the entire human race

I propose we ship him back to Italy so he can join his fat faggot friends

>Faggots like you that can't understand being a workingman and having pride in that really piss me off

Explain to me what's there to be proud of, exactly? A job's a job, you have a job to make money, if you're not doing it for the money then it's just a hobby. And if you go full retard and spout some bullshit like I'll never understand what it feels like to sweat and get beaten up to earn my income I'll just assume you're trolling.

>Also, how you gonna tell a man who is loving what he does and getting paid great (probably more than you, with way less education required) wages for it he's a slave?

Because he has this fantasy that he's more entitled just because his work if physically demanding.

>with way less education required

Oh yes, I forgot the pride in getting less education!

>>53331272

Nope.

>>53330161
Why the fuck would you care? There's so much money going to waste in this world and you care about a random music reviewer?

Anyways, I think Fantano is a cool dude and I'm glad he can live off of his opinions.

>Explain to me what's there to be proud of, exactly?
I can't explain the pride in a job well done to someone who doesn't feel it. I'm sorry you've never had a job where you actually did something challenging and worthwhile and had reason to have pride in it. And it's not trolling or bullshit to say that there's something about physical labor that feels good despite the sweat and bruises, just like a workout or a mountain climb.

> fantasy that he's more entitled
I commented that he was wrong about this as well. He's still far from a slave, though
and my point about less education - I should have elaborated - I was thinking of less student loans and bullshit time spent learning shit with no day to day relevance

>>53331516
see
>>53331509

>>53331529
Yes, it's a fact that he CAN choose to post here instead of getting paid do it on youtube. Are you retarded?

Why is everyone so angry? This i a fucking genuis idea i wouldve done it years ago if i were him

Like some guy said if 1/400th of his fan base (997 subscribers) paid for this, he would make $5000

multiply that by 12 months (one review each month) = $60,000

That's fucking insane, more than most of you will make at your jobs.

Why are people so angry? If you don't pay for it, you get the same exact content that you normally would. What the fuck are people so up in arms about?

I wouldve fucking charged $7

>>53331509

relax buddy, he's not even going to make that much from this

>>53331646

>>53331546
>I can't explain the pride in a job well done to someone who doesn't feel it.

You said you took pride in being a workingman, not in the work that you do. I can sympathize with someone saying they're proud of the job they did, I just don't think that being a workingman and doing manual labor entitles you to more "pride" than someone who is not doing manual labor. As I said, a job's a job, you're doing it to earn income, if you like what you do more power to you.

>And it's not trolling or bullshit to say that there's something about physical labor that feels good despite the sweat and bruises, just like a workout or a mountain climb.

I'm sure it can feel good, but I don't believe there's more "pride" in doing manual labor rather than not.

Basically my point is that just because you're not killing yourself in your work doesn't mean you don't deserve your money any less than anyone who does. (as long as they are both performing their jobs accordingly, of course)

>>53330219

If some magical fairy offered you a dollar for every shitpost you made, would you take it? I'd imagine most people would.

If you honestly think that taking the offer would be considered "selling out", then that would imply you're really passionate about shitposting.

>>53331894
The difference is when you are working a physical job you can always take pride in the physicallity of the job, even when the job itself seems pointless.

When you're working a white collar job (and I've worked a bunch) theres really nothing to take pride in when the work seems pointless.

Like, say you're digging a ditch and then you just got to fill it back up, you can take pride in just being able to do that. After a day of sitting through pointless meetings in an office, what can you feel pride in - not falling asleep? not strangling someone?

But I agree, a job is a job, in what truly counts - earning a living to better your and your loved ones lives

>>53332048
Should all of the /mu/tants make money for posting their opinions on music here? Why do you value Fantano's opinion over the thousands that post here for free?

>>53330161
God it's so embarrassing how you guys circle jerk over this guy.

>>53332048
All the arguments boil down to "I don't like him."

I bet Fantano is in this thread laughing at all of you jealous morons. Just deal with it, it has no effect on you whatsoever you're all just jealous.

>>53332135
>Should all of the /mu/tants make money for posting their opinions on music here?
If they can, yes.
>Why do you value Fantano's opinion over the thousands that post here for free?
Because he has a youtube channel and I am able to subscribe to him. He is not on an anonymous image board.

Is that the best you got? Because that is an awful argument.
>>53332193
That and "I dont get paid for my /daily/ reviews so why should he?"

Whats so bad about making money?

This thread is top notch. Butthurt autists that hate plebtano are the only ones that complain that he shouldn't be mentioned on /mu/ because he has no cred/ has shit-tier taste, yet they still shitpost about him all the time.

Anthony Fantano is also good exposure to other bands. It's not just for reviews but another way to discover music.

>>53332296
>>53332321

If I put out enough videos people will come, so long as they're quality. Would I get as much as Fantano? Maybe not, but I could definitely get a solid following if I put the work in.

Good for him. He's offering content early for an extra $5. It's not a big deal. Regardless of his opinions, you have to respect the fact that he puts himself out there on the internets, not everyone can do that.

PUT YOUR HEAD ON THE GROUND

PUSH YOUR ASS UP

OPEN YOUR MOUTH

HERE'S YOUR MONEY

HERE'S YOUR MONEY

I hope Anthony's concept gets so big that it puts your managements out if business and you all lose your jobs and if you don't have a job then that his companies buy out your land leave you homeless because he does a more unbiased job as any of you losers on this site and knows 10x's as much about music I will definitely be signing up for his service because I appreciate quality music journalism and I suggest you all try to get off your patrician horse and actual learn a thing or two about music from him.

Wanting money, power, or more material things than others is greed. Listening to music isn't greed

This.

I don't plan on giving Fantano my money. But more power to him for finding people who will. I do have a problem with him claiming the only people who "give a shit" about his opinion are the ones who pay $5 for it, as he has only gotten the following he has by charging $0.00 for the same exact videos. Even that doesn't really matter though because I am not going to be one of those who buys into his idiotic argument.

I never said listening to music was greedy. I said stealing it is greed you. It's almost as if /mu/rants forgets that artists charge money for their material.
