Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[
], but some suck at statistically significant levels.

I used to really like Fantano. I still agree with most of his music takes, even though I don't really explore much music most of the time when I hear about something he says I agree with it. He's got good politics AFAIK. But I just kinda don't like his vibe anymore, he's a little too annoying even for me. I'm glad he's around, though, I think a lot of other people in that kind of position where they review a lot of punk/otherwise radical music tend to be more liberal.
as much as I find fantano specifically annoying I just don't think longform talky video is a great format for dealing with music seriously in an interesting way. I'd rather just....listen to the music. the finnerty style "muso dissects bad music" approach is a lot more palatable and even informative at times
I like long form meta-music talky videos like Todd in the Shadows or Trash Theory but then I'm a dork whose always been more interested in history than music.
Have you watched sideways? They fell off the map a few years ago, but their videos are top notch music slop.
Speaking of music creators, I really don't like Adam Neely's vibe. Nothing against the guy, he just rubs me the wrong way.
I have now
It’s that Berklee smug.
heyo finnerty is my fav music youtuber for sure. like at least make it funny right? if you’re gonna talk for half an hour about music 😫
I never watched a single video of his after 2018 because he gave one of my favorite albums at the time [Slowdive’s S/T] a 3 or a 4
That is rough. I think I checked out around the time he gave BCNR's AFUT a 9/10 which is an amazing score, but his only problem with the album was the mixing of the drums on Snowglobes... which I think was pretty clearly intentional to create some dissonance and discomfort? And it just worked incredibly well to set up Basketball Shoes? Oh well. I did just stop really listening to new music around that time so that had more to do with it.
