beerwolf Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Mister Fantano wants your money for his opinion on Tangerine Dream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0poI9yo4Y I'm in serious zen mode to keep my gob shut on this.....

WeAreOceans Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 not too different from patreon setups, but those are usually for artists of some kind... not sure I'm really going to pay a dude for his opinion, though, not being a fan of Fantanto notwithstanding.

joshuatxuk Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I like this kid but $5 for not just a review, but a reissue at that, is not going to work. Shame on anyone who actually pays for this. If he did $5, 10 or 15 for a book or extended video on something more interesting, I'd be all for it. Like if he did a 33 1/3 on Death Grips, that's something you can sell. But this a classic album that has already been discussed by far more passionate and knowledgeable writers, and I can't imagine any other artist or album beyond TD that would warrant such a price for his review either.

Exactly, there is so much you can read online if you want to know about TD or any other 'classic' or 'seminal' group. It's sheer hubris for Fantano to think his opinion and recommends are worth paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Seems as we are all on the same wavelength here. I don't mind this dude on the whole, but this five dollar review is bollocks imo. It's obviously aimed at fleecing his gullible tribe of followers. Nice move Cunthony Cuntano!

Candiru Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I've seen evidence of his hubris before when he responds to the haters by stating all of his appearances and interviews he's had over the years and asking if you think his opinion really doesn't matter now. I can't remember the video, but it was a bit surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, fantano now now supports himself solely from his reviews so i can understand his need to diversify his bonds. also, there was a guy that got $55,000 to make mashed potatoes so there is a very real business in separating fools from their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I don't fully understand why anyone would care what someone else's opinion is on an album, outside of the obvious friendly conversation, such as with your friends or in a forum. When the opinion is one sided such as in a review, what exactly is the purpose of it to the end-reader? Doesn't it make more sense to digest the medium and formulate your own opinion? Or is it more for entertainment purposes, like watching pewdiepie or something? =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 i thought this was gonna be "fantano will review your track for $5", which tbh would be a ril good dil considering you'd be name dropped on one of the most popular music vlogs going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klore Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 i wish he just asked a support donation in a simple way, the fact he asks in exchange of one actual review is quite unethical of the genuine initiative. i think he made a mistake and he probably wanted to do it a good a way, but he failed. i would have donate 5bucks not just for his general work and devotion not for a review that i don't want to check at the first place sorry for being negative ...
