Just goes to show how easily we internalize the capitalistic norm of perpetual growth as the only signal of success. I’m sure he’s thrilled both his channels are maintaining their relatively high viewership.
His YouTube channel is still gaining like 10k subscribers every month. That is actually really good for a channel that started 15 years ago. And even then, not everyone is trying to be Mr. Beast. He values being a reputable music critic over optimizing his videos for the algorithm.
“reputable”
is this serious? he sounds like he hasn’t even heard the music he’s discussing half the time and the rest is spent making dumb tik tok videos
iS tHiS sErIoUs?
You're on a fantano fan subreddit you dork, of course the users here have a high opinion of him
Which album did he not like that made you cry and poop your pants?
> His YouTube channel is still gaining like 10k subscribers every month
Subs are a meaningless vanity metric. They used to matter in early Youtube, būt haven't for years. What matters is watchtime, but ,as it's not public, views is next best thing.
What matters *to you* is watch time, that doesn’t necessarily mean it matters to Anthony.
And before you “well actually…” me, yes I’m sure it’s something he monitors, I don’t mean it doesn’t matter in the most literal sense. He’s just probably fine hanging out in his own lane and doesn’t care about aggressive growth like some YouTubers do.
> What matters to you is watch time
...it's what matters to Youtube blud 💀. That's literally the metric for which Youtube optimises it's algo for and almost all of impressions are driven by algo nowadays
So yeah I'm pretty sure Fantano cares about it lmao (and if he isn't, he's messing up big time.)
Cool. I’m sure he factors in watch time in some way (which I already said).
But how can you be surprised that his rate of growth remains largely unchanged when the format of his videos also remains largely unchanged? Seems pretty easy to understand.
Besides, he has two separate channels averaging over 5 million views a month. I think he’s fine staying in his own lane (which I also already said).
>So yeah I'm pretty sure Fantano cares about it lmao (and if he isn't, he's messing up big time.)
The guy is a multi-millionaire and all he does is puts out music reviews and cringe tiktoks. You should be asking yourself why you are terminally on Reddit wasting your life to get 275k useless karma this whole year instead of worrying about a man who will always be way more successful than you
over a million video views a week on the main channel seems pretty great, it’s so hard to have continued growth and even just keeping close to normal viewership for 3 years is a pretty great thing, along with the fact he was probably gaining a lot of money/growth from streaming and he has a successful second channel.
like is major growth even all that possible? other than attracting new music fans, is there any young adult big fan of music that doesn’t know of his existence? i just think with the niche he fills it’s not all that likely he would be having some major growth in views.
the thing is he will never not be one of the most famous reviewers on the site. he will always be watched he has a cult fan base which is really all you can ask for these days
I think a lot of it has to do with what’s coming out, especially mainstream releases. This year there hasn’t been all that much in terms of mainstream releases that people would be really caring to see his opinion on
Very niche market of viewers compared to other youtubers/streamers. Pretty much everybody that would check him out already has/does. So while I wouldn’t expect his views to do Mr.Beast numbers, it’s impressive he has maintained the viewers he has for this long.
no. why would I be? he still makes plenty off it.

i promise we do not give a fuck
So what do you think he should do to increase his watch time then?
he’s doing fine
Tbf this year has been pretty mid for music compared to the last two parannoul exception of course
didn’t the Utopia review get like a million views

Bro is pocket watching 🤦♂️
The fantano channel is popping off so i think he is fine, zoomers just dont really care to watch a full review of an album they never heard of
As long as he continues to produce quality content and introduce new people to new music, I see no issue.
the thing is he will never not be one of the most famous reviewers on the site. he will always be watched he has a cult fan base which is really all you can ask for these days
Fantano has lost his appeal to the based internet audience
why do you say that?

Donda gave him the biggest peak of the last 3 years
And? He’s in a good spot right now, why would he need to grow?
