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 ^[it-is-known ], 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.

It’s that Berklee smug.
