not a meme, but for me he represents snobby kids who run their mouths about reading classics.

Nothing he says is of any worth whatsoever. It feels like he babbles away 7 to 10 minutes and manages to say even less than your average quick goodreads review. And upon further watching, he is no different than snooty teenagers who say their favorite novel is 2666 and opine about popular cult indie groups.

OK, shill, at least tell us who he is so we can watch his boss, that is your end goal, right?

I like him. 2666 was a good book, I don't see what anon's problem is. I only think he should do a bad review once in awhile, so far he has only done favorable reviews.

yes, it's called the Final or Cuck Stage of reading.

this very board for instance is populated by anons who don't read anymore, but get off under the impression that other anons do read. in fact, none of us do.

I've seen a couple of his videos. He never seem to have anything particularly insightful to say but he was also never annoying or blatantly wrong.

Inoffensive seems like a good word for his videos.

I really didn't think I would enjoy his videos but he's alright. His Huysmans review is basically him saying "fuck that was so good" for eight minutes and I didn't even mind.

agree. he seems pretty chill overall.

the previous anon itt is right, he is too inoffensive to really catch on as a point of hate on this board. his videos aren't brilliant, but they aren't trash either. for what they are they're actually pretty good. in the end all he is doing is trying to share quality lit with people and he's going about it in a witty and casual way. i don't get what the issue is here.

She's pretty great.

OP, he's no different to anybody else really. He's just somebody with an opinion like any of us. Take Anthony Fantano. He's just a guy with a camera and an opinion. Nobody is forcing you to watch them and obviously he has fans that like to so what's the harm?

Opinions only carry as much weight as you're willing to give them.

I'm not interested in other people's opinions on albums so I don't watch or read album reviews. I might read analyses to get a deeper understanding of them, but even then they can be completely subjective.

Making threads about things you dislike, while a staple of 4chan since its inception, are utterly pointless if they have no topic of discussion.

because the every female booktuber is the vapid, spoilt daughter of yuppies, showing you her YA (a misnomer if ever there was one) book hauls in her all pastel bedroom that looks like the set for a sexual assault scene in a LifeTime movie.
