You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I don't really understand how music reviews are a popular thing. In this golden age of the internet, it's so easy to discover music and listen to it for free. So why would you go to music reviews? And even for pop artists who have all their poo poo locked down, it's easy to find streaming songs or some other cheap/free way of listening to music. Why wouldn't you just listen to the music and decide for yourself whether you like it or not?

I suppose it could be useful for discovering new bands... but still, streaming services that actually play the music seem like they would be far more helpful than listening to some guy talk about music. Or maybe people don't actually want to listen to music, they just want to hear someone talk about it so they can be "in the know"? Idgi.

Disclaimer: I have maybe watched only one or two of this guys videos, some years ago
of course the concept of music reviews is outdated. that's why Pitchfork made the pivot to peddling tepid culturally liberal social criticism in their reviews instead of merely reviewing an album with 20 layers of pretentiousness. ditto sites that do TV reviews, movie reviews, video game reviews, etc.

the internet has made word of mouth far more powerful than before and writing a few paragraphs won't do it anymore

That's kind of why I think he tried to branch out from his music reviews with being more of a goofy YouTube personality and also doing more music related think pieces on separate channels. YouTube was loving him over with his third channel when it came out, I think because they thought his rapid influx of followers was flagged as spam/robot followers or some poo poo. And now this with his second channel.

Sadly I think he was just trying to be himself and do what he finds funny and it blew up in his face.

Also he just made a response video

why can't pop culture reviewers try and stand out by not shoehorning in politics? saying something like "this latest kanye album is misogynstic" or "there's too much jewish influence in curb your enthusiasm" isn't shocking or thought provoking, it's boring and everyone's doing it. try something else

All art is inherently political, I guess that's part of it. Reviewing is passing judgement on something, and part of that is considering its value as a part of our culture. And that's not even getting in to the art that is overtly political, like albums made by Kanye "George Bush doesn't care about black people" West.

Basically, it's really hard to not be political when reviewing politically charged media in a politically charged culture.
