Why did he do it?
he literally said for money
>>130204716But by nuking his channel he stopped making money. He just threw away guaranteed revenue (like serious revenue, he was definitely raking it in with his videos) with minimal effort because he got pissed that people rightly noticed his content was getting shittier.
>>130204701>grifts>profits>leavesat least he had the dignity to bow out when he reached his goal, these other grifters don't know when to stop and often convince themselves of the lie they've been telling
>>130204735He said he was making more money doing social media marketing so he didn't care anymore.
>>130204784What a crock of shit. He ruined his own channel by being a trendchasing viewsgoblin. He got fed up with the fanbase HE cultivated with the Wikipediaslop HE chose to release. Everything he said in that "I don't care about music" interview was pure cope for being a self-sabotaging douchebag.
>>130204821So why is he still shilling AI art on his Instagram? This whole "he got what he wanted so he left" thing would only be valid if he just fucked off and disappeared. But he's still grifting dumb shit for money. So he should've just stuck with the 0 effort slop content where he already had an easily appeased fan-base.
>>130204701As you get older, your tolerance for unmitigated and uncalled for hate directed at you becomes less and less. You wonder why you would ever put up with it. So he decided he had enough.People who call him a grifter are acting like he made up being into punk and rock, which is pretty clearly not the case. Retards like to sling terms around they've heard before until they mean nothing.
>>130204849>uncalled forIt was called for.
>>130204848How should I know? And why are you so offended by videos some guy made? It's not hard to get a decently big youtube channel. The audience there are all degenerate gay people, trannies, and like I said, the dregs. The kind of guys who watch professional wrestling into their 40s and think they're profound for being an edgy loser into middle age. Make better content or shut up.
>>130204849Nobody made that dumbass argument except for you. I know you can't make a salient point without blowing things out of proportion, but try to for once. He lied about his involvement and knowledge of multiple scenes of music to make money. That is definitionally a grift.
>>130204881He attracted that audience by making bad content. He could have kept making the videos he liked making without caring about views. He could have continued to make shitty content about shit he didn't care about to sttract and sustain an audience of people he hated. But it's retarded to make things you hate to attract an audience of people you hate, and then flip out because of it. It was his fucking choice.
>>130204701MoneyMoney is all that matters
>>130204909>He lied about his involvement and knowledge of multiple scenes of musicsuch as?he has never claimed to be anything more than a punk and rock guy
>>130204958See >>130204735
>>130205002Hi Finn.
>>130204986He seems like a decently smart guy so he could've put that money into things that grow with literally no effort
>>130205010There it is. Anyone reading this, notice how if you ever say anything different than whatever the majority thinks, you must be the person in question. Never change, retards. Not like I have to tell you to never change, you won't anyway.
>>130205020It doesn't get much lower effort than recording yourself reading Wikipedia articles aloud for 15 minutes per week, then hiring some other guy to edit it into a video.
>>130205036Yes it doesYou can just invest in something
>>130205049See >>130204848
>>130205036why don't you do it then?
>>130205080If I was a soulless moneywhore like Finn, I would. But I'm not.
He's a pedo and trying to make everyone forget about his grooming by claiming to do this for money. His channel sucked shit and he didn't know anything anyway.
>>130204970I'm not doing basic research for you. Your argument is nebulous so you deserve nebulous answers.
>>130204701I despise music and I despise those who enjoy it. Drooling inbred FOOLS, all of you. I manipulated you and took your money like taking candy from a baby. You are not worthy of respect.
>>130206378FINNIGAN NO
>>130205100yeah, how dare he marry the right woman and remain happily married to her despite her being underaged when they met. He needs to meet someone who is older and end up divorced after a few years instead!
>>130205030Go to bed Sargent D
>>130206435Give a rest, Finn. You're a pedo and you didn't know shit about any fucking thing.
just posting to say that I have no idea who the person in op's pic is. You all seem very worked up about him though. Maybe you would all be happier looking at cute Korean girls?
>>130207242Okay pedo.
>>130204701He EARNED those kids. And now he's fleeing overseas to evade federal authorities. Godspeed Finn. Your work was surface-level normie fodder and it won't be missed.
>>130204701>caring about e celebs>caring about music reviewing e celebsLmao
>>130207357kirdblt (kek it really do be like that)
>>130204716so for money then I guess
>>130205115>”Can you provide evidence for that claim?”>”WHAT?!!!? DEFEND AN ARGUMENT I MADE???? ITS SO OBVIOUS YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE IT!!!!! (but conveniently not easy enough to provide evidence for)”
>>130204812This. He actually did care about punk, but he purposely shoehorned himself as the millenial nostalgia channel and got butthurt at every opportunity
>>130211652If he actually cared about anything he wouldn't basically read wikipedia articles in front of a camera. He sucks, his videos fucking suck and pedos deserve the rope.
what's this talk about him being a pedo? qrd?
>>130211779Groomed his wife. Allegations came out right before he went full retard and blew up his channel as a cover for it.
>>130211789i believe it. that guy probably mercilessly slew teenage pussy in his 20s. right in the age before the iphone took off
>>130211866>in his 20sprobably his 30s lol. dude is old as fuck.
Isnt he into kpop now like everyone else who used to be in the scene?
>>130211866This bald retard got zero pussy. What are you talking about?
>>130211779the actual reason he abandoned the channel. he'll probably return at some point when the virtue-signaling woke shit dies down some more.
>>130212753Let's hope not. His channel was trash.
>>130212753What year do you think it is? The Russell brand right wing grift is in
>>130204701the nookie, obviously
>>130207197am I the only one who knew he was a snake even back then? half the people who complain about him now weren't even out of diapers back then.
>>130210790You're just too lazy to do any research or make any real claims. Rather just claim nebulous things and then ask other people to defend their position to the extreme while you do the bare minimum. Also real strong position you've made here. Finn is a 'punk and rock guy', woah that means nothing at all. Guess he's free from criticism cause he likes 'punk and rock'.
>>130204849awww is he just a wittle baby? the criticism got to him? he couldn't handle people calling out his bullshit? sad
i liked him better when he was sergeant D and he wrote the most troll articles about scene music for metalsucks
>>130204701Finn McGrifty
>>130216698No. Your comment is a good example of what I'm talking about. Your post is so inane my very first instinct was to refuse to engage with it, which I decided not to do since it happens to illustrate the point.
>>130204701always struck me as one of those hxc guys who only cares about how heavy shit gets. I remember him saying husker du sucked because it sounded like his dad's music or something. I knew a bunch of guys like that in high school, super one dimensional way to interact with music.Only redeeming quality he had was that he'd actually been around for a long time and would occasionally mention bands I'd never heard of.Garbage channel overall though, didn't even notice it disappeared
>>130204701couldn't keep living a lie
>>130217729>my very first instinct was to refuse to engage with it, which I decided not to do since it happens to illustrate the pointheh, much smarterer than me eh? truly you answering was way smarterer, you are the smartererest, goddamn you are so fucking stupid, enjoy defending the (former) culture critic dipshit
>>130204970of course he never made videos about jazz music or quantum physics.But he gave opinions about many punk and rock bands he knew nothing about.
>>130216621I knew it too, I'm a former writer for SYWH.It sucks he deleted his shit from the Wayback Machine because he'd get cancelled if his fans knew how he used to be like.
>>130217046>metalsucksnow that takes me back, I have fond memories of trolling axl with poopoo peepee jokes along with a guy called bob
>>130217785husker du does suck
>>130220180either way, it's just funny for someone acting as a punk rock historian of sorts to completely dismiss them based on 3 tracks he heard on one of their mid-career records. They're a huge figure in punk history. Just puts a glaring blind spot on his understanding of punk evolution over time
>>130220410>They're a huge figure in punk history.That's been overstated by hipster indie kids.
