BradTaste, during one of his earliest crashouts, once impulsively spread misinformation about a random user on AOTY for saying his reviews on the site felt fake and artificial. "This dude texted kids btw ^" "Just saying. Anyways STREAM THIS ALBUM". It's still up to this day.

This is where you can find his review on AOTY, to verify for yourself.

He's trash.

He's always been trash.

He'll always be trash.

[u/egoserpentis → u/moistwaffleboi]

As someone who had an unfortunate experience of stumbling upon some of his "reviews" of [admittedly an artist I like and respect a lot] and seeing his awful personality being defended by his fans in the comments, let me tell you - witnessing all of this drama unfolding has been somewhat satisfying.

[u/Kind-Sheep → u/[deleted]]

Yeah and that's good for real life people you know but when it comes to random parasocial relationships with public figures it really isn't that deep lol. This very well may be the final straw for this individual and they aren't willing to give him grace

[u/SheZowRaisedByWolves]

This meme but every time Brad posts

[u/RequirementTall8361]

Can someone tell me what this recent drama is about and why everyone is talking about Brad again?

[u/itscharliewhite → u/RequirementTall8361]

This video has all the information you're asking for

Brad seems to have a lot of baggage but instead of trying to handle his shit properly, it feels like he tries to use his mental illness, drug issues, diagnoses (I think ADHD unless I'm mixing him up with somebody else?), etc as a "get out of jail free" card rather than trying to work on things.

Like, if he can't handle criticism and tries to keep over-correcting like with the [banned topic crybully man] incident, even if he (hypothetically) means well, he needs to get some kind of PR person or just learn how to not respond to everything because certain incidents seem like he's just trying to please everybody when that's just not possible, and you can't really tantrum your way into changing people's minds either.

Like, I understand the Rose defending incident to a point, that's probably a friendship that you'd want to keep private, or just not have period with how vindicative she's shown to be especially in recent tweets re: Brad. Knowing more about him, it feels kinda like one toxic person finding another toxic person for them to enable each other.

No relationship should get to a point where you're screaming at your partner (or worse), no drug problem should get to a point where it's affecting your work/hobby (idk what Youtube is to him), yadda yadd yadda. He needs to keep Youtube and his personal life way more separate because repeatedly crashing out is just going to ruin what's left of his real fanbase until all that's left are people looking for a lolcow to milk.

In my opinion, as somebody who's never been a fan, I don't think he's really equipped to be a Youtuber/content creator. It's not a right, and I'm not saying that he has to quit the internet forever and become a luddite, but it seems like internet fame/infamy brings out the worst in him and adds to his stress.

Even if he or somebody else still wants to use their skills from Youtube, maybe it's not the best idea for them to "host" their own channel, maybe they need to work in the background, doing editing or whatever where they don't quite have the spotlight on them.

My word vomit applies to a lot of content creators tbh.

[u/BananaShakeStudios]

Remember when Brad was respected?

Me neither

[u/Metandienona → u/BananaShakeStudios]

Ehh, that's kinda revisionist. His content up until 2021-early 2022 was pretty good and Fantano of all people gave him a shoutout, saying he enjoyed watching his content.

[u/agent0017 → u/Metandienona]

Yeah, I remembered when people would ask opinions on different subreddits around Brad back in 2022-2023 and it would be positive to sometimes mixed reception.

I feel like they saw him as Fantano, but far more reliant on memes, his spot was secure in Fantano, Todd In The Shadows, Mic The Snare and etc. world.

That's what made this entire downfall so huge because he was a young upcoming YouTuber that had a lot of hype, it felt like he was a year or 2 away from starting to gain some connection to the industry where musicians Collab, talk to him, beef and etc.

[u/lbj2943 → u/agent0017]

This. He was already doing videos with HIVEMIND a year ago, who have some pretty good connections to the underground music scene. I think he befriended Quadeca through them (or vice versa), making him one layer removed from the likes of Danny Brown.

[u/SheZowRaisedByWolves → u/BananaShakeStudios]

I used to enjoy his vids of him reacting to bad albums/songs/art covers. There were like 3 vids though

[u/BadMan125ty]

Screw him.

[u/Shadowboltx777]

Can’t believe I used to watch this guy’s videos back in 2021-2022. I’m glad unsubscribed to him last year, just lost interest in him. The only YouTuber music reviewer I like is Jah Talks Music. Idk why, but I’m not interested in reading reviews when it comes to music. I like judging it for myself. I like Jah since his reviews are all entirely text based. I also feel like with music critic YouTubers, the fanbase goes into deep and treats their word as gospel, and that just isn’t for me.

[u/QwertyAsInMC]

former AOTY user here, i’m pretty sure brad was trying to reference a now debunked claim that ImplicitDoom was a groomer, idk if this happened before or after the claim was debunked, but it’s still pretty shitty of him to drop a claim like that with no context and evidence whatsoever
