Daily Doug Reaction

I was suggesting that he might diversify, but of course time is an issue and it's up to him to do he he wants. If he's having fun, keep at it.

I wanted him to do more adventurous and deep dives, but I do grasp what's he doing. I was suggesting that he might try some different things and approaches. Of course that's up to him, but one person here has had contact with him. I don't know how many models and platforms he has considered. For instance, I suggested a more "serious" podcast about music (he needn't just do reaction type stuff). He could also do things like ask his youtube viewers to suggest the most challenging, complex and adventurous music they know, do twitter polls on that. I don't know if he has a reddit sub where he also interacts with people or how connected he is across various platforms (twitter, instragram, youtube, facebook, maybe TikTok....) He could diversify if he wants to (I guess this is just a side-line and no one has all the time in the world, but he might get bored and want new challenges).

I haven't done my podcast yet, but I am nowhere near approaching expert status in anything, nor do I have a doctorate (which can sound good when you want people to take you seriously) or interesting CV, engaging personality, charm or charisma. Mine likely would just be another layman (lameman) podcast.

He could also do "bonus" youtube content on music that is more in his wheelhouse -- like classical music. I would imagine that some of his listeners would find that interesting, and of course that could lead to a wider audience.

Most content creators who make some money out of it that I know use Patreon.

"The two ghetto rappers".

And yes it is 100% littered with Beatles threads, there is even talk of making a Beatles Only Section there, which would be great IMO! Every time I mention the Beatles it is a loaded comment, probably been saying it even before you joined PA. I am perfectly fine with all my Beatles comments.

And I'm perfectly happy responding to them.  And yes, SHF is disgusting with all the Beatles threads. And then there's the members who think the that the Monkees are god. Yikes.

Other reason is their music has been played to death, nothing to react to. The truth is that the Beatles appeal has never gone away, and never will. The daily threads to the Fab Four in the SHMF can attest to that. Even if you don't appreciate them for not being monster musicians, Lennon and McCartney are rightly considered the greatest songwriters of their era. And long after the small populace of the world that knows and loves bands like Rush and Genesis dies out, hundreds more biographies and music specific books on the Fab Four will still be written and published. They will always be on a pedestal with rock luminaries like Elvis, Hendrix and Clapton, while people in the future will wonder why anyone would listen to a group with a singer who sounds like Micky Mouse on helium. Word.
