Hey, everyone. D'Anthony Fantangelo 00:00:00 here. And this is, of course,
the very first episode of my new series, Here Is Why You're Wrong, in which I take your hot takes,
your unpopular opinions, and your tough questions and I react to the best ones. This is, of course,
a brand new idea that nobody has ever done before that I came up with just now, so keep
that in mind. Today's opinions cover everything from Billie Eilish to Starbucks, so be sure to
stay tuned for that and don't forget to submit your own horribly incorrect opinions down below.
You should hire me as your editor. Here's why you're wrong. If I did that,
that means I would have to pay you and giving people money goes against my religion. Or at
least that's what I've been trying to tell the IRS these past few years, but they haven't been
buying it. Unpopular opinion. Literally none of these replies are unpopular opinions. Let's find
out. Imagine not doing this. You're missing out. Here's why you're wrong. For posting that on my
Twitter timeline in the first place. What is this? Did you actually... Okay, I can't look at this
anymore. Eggs with ketchup. Everyone that I talk to hates it. Like, bruh. Here's why you're wrong.
Eggs and ketchup should never be within a two mile radius of each other. And I believe that's
actually in the Geneva Conventions. I could be wrong about that, but I will have to double check.
Commentary channels are beneficial because they spark debate and give viewers outside
perspectives. Old YouTubers... you know the ones... who call them problematic are the
actual problem LOL. Here's why you're right. Then again, there may be bias because I am a commentary
channel. However, I think it's very important to be able to criticize and critique the people who
are at the top of this cursed website that we spend way too much of our time on. And, yeah,
it does seem like some of the old YouTubers... I do know the ones... are a little antsy that
we're allowed to criticize them on the same platform that they get four million views
per video on. But, you know, if there's room for all those people at the top, then there's
definitely room for a commentary channel or two. K-pop fan cams really aren't that annoying. People
just like starting arguments. Here's why you're wrong. K-pop fan cams are absolutely annoying
and that is because they are posted on the most random threads. I think if everyone just posted
K-pop fan cams on K-pop tweets, then nobody would really care, but I put out a tribute to Kobe
Bryant and someone posted a K-pop fan cam there, so... I miss Rihanna's music, but I feel like,
at this point, she's more interested in being a business woman and, for that reason,
I really wouldn't be mad if she didn't release anything again because she seems happy with what
she's doing. Here's why you're right. As much as I would love to listen to R9 all summer long,
clearly she has no plans of releasing that right now and clearly her focus is on her brand, which,
by the way, I'm really happy is so successful for her. I think if she was to release R9 at
this time, there's a chance that it would be because of the millions of where's the album
comments under her posts and not because she truly wanted and I wouldn't want to listen to
music that someone released just because their fans were pestering them into doing so. So,
for all those people asking where the album is, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you went back and
stream some of her older albums. Billie Eilish is overrated. Then,
so is Ariana Grande. Neither of these are unpopular opinions. Here's all three of
you are right. Being overrated is a subjective opinion and, for some reason, people act like
they're objective. Not saying these people are, but I've seen far too many discussions
about why people absolutely do not deserve their success and I just... I find that weird because,
at the end of the day, they are successful and it is for a reason, even if that's not necessarily a
reason I understand. Just because someone says no criticism doesn't mean you can't criticize them. I
see this all too much in the art community. Here's why you're right. I think if you say no criticism,
you're basically trolling yourself. You're basically inviting people who don't respect you
to criticize you. So, just a little hint. If you don't want criticism, just don't mention it and,
nine times out of 10, people won't criticize you. But, beyond that, everyone is free to criticize
you whether you want them to or not. That's probably the biggest lesson I've learned in all
my time of being a YouTuber. Now, of course, that doesn't mean you have to take it. That's entirely
up to you. People who get offended that other people won't take their criticism are annoying.
You're not the best channel. Here's why you're right. This channel you're watching right now is
actually the second best channel on YouTube. The first best channel is my main channel,
YouTube.com/DAngeloWallace. ASMR isn't as creepy as everyone makes it out to be. Here's why you're
right. A lot of the people pretend like all ASMR is just inherently adult, I guess, and
that's just not true. I can say this as somebody who doesn't even really watch ASMR. However,
there's definitely some really creepy ASMR out there, but I do feel a bit bad for ASMR
YouTubers who just automatically get thrown in that box when some of them are just trying
to have fun and mind their own business. It's not always cultural appropriation.
People can partake in diverse culture activities without appropriating them. Cultures aren't always
exclusive to their own people. Here's why you're right. It is completely unfair, in my opinion,
to automatically scream cultural appropriation the moment you see somebody doing something that's
even vaguely related to a culture that's not their own. With the way the world goes right now,
you can't even guess somebody's culture from looking at them half the time. But, moreover,
it's possible to dress a certain way and do certain things without outright mocking someone
else's culture. However, this doesn't mean that everybody is free to go start pretending to be
other people's cultures. I think of instead of just labeling everything cultural appropriation,
people should look at it on a case-by-case basis and evaluate why it makes them feel a certain
way. And then I think it would be much easier to discern between cultural appropriation and
cultural appreciation. Pranks are the worst way to be funny. Here's why you're right. First of all,
all pranks on YouTube are fake, so it's just automatically not funny to me. But then on the off
chance that a prank is not fake, that means it's hinging on somebody's trust being betrayed and I
don't know. To me, that's just not funny at all. Cancel culture started off with good intentions
and now it's just everyone pointing out minor issues with a person slash situation to vilify
them. It no longer allows growth or believes in genuine change and takes everything in a
malicious way. Here's why you're right. I've seen people get canceled over the
most inconsequential things to ever exist. Cancel culture is used as an excuse for famous people,
both online and in the TV/music industry to not accept responsibility and consequences for their
actions. After a certain point, being canceled isn't going to end or even damage your career.
Here's why you're right. I've seen people try to write off being criticized for the most egregious,
heinous acts to ever exist as cancel culture. So, I think both of you are right. People use
it way too often and people cry cancel culture way too often, when, really, it lies somewhere in
the middle. Everyone is free to be criticized, but sometimes people just criticize them for
absolutely no reason. Trying to de-platform and get people fired and all of that is ridiculous,
in my opinion, however, it's absolutely not trying to de-platform or get someone fired by bringing up
questionable behavior and criticizing them. Baby Yoda isn't that cute and is highly
overrated. Here's why you're wrong. Just look at him. Most commentary channels talk about
non-issues that don't deserve attention. Here's why you're right. It's something I actually try
to avoid. I don't know if you've noticed, but I haven't made a video about James Charles or...
I don't know... Jaclyn Hill, any of the stuff that's been going on in the beauty community,
in a really long time and that's because these people are just making up drama for views. I
just talk about the things I feel a certain way about and I think, in the end, that can always
make for interesting content even if you weren't really interested beforehand. Humor is subjective
and shouldn't have any limits. Here's why you're right. By default, you're correct because it's not
really possible to limit somebody else's freedom of expression. However, the way people react to
humor is also completely unlimited, so don't be surprised if people start treating you a certain
way because of the jokes that you try to make. Tik Tok has passed its prime and will continue
to go downhill until the invention of a different app with the same structure,
where the pattern will start all over again. Here's why you're right. Because that honestly
just keeps happening over and over. Vine was a big deal and then it was dead. Musical.ly was
a big deal and then it was kind of dead, but regrew into Tik Tok, which is now a
big deal and is not currently dead, but, yes, everyone hates it. Those wooden pose mannequin
things used for reference are kind of trash, not going to lie. Here's why you're right. Because
they're stiff. And people don't sit like this. I feel like I'll get hate, but true crime YouTube
is exploitive. Here's why you're right. I don't think every true crime YouTuber is exploitive,
but I will say this. I once clicked into a true crime video and the sponsor was this mystery game,
where you could buy and you solve your own case. It really made me feel weird because it felt like
the person doing the sponsor was treating that game the same way they were treating the very
real case that they were talking about, in which a lot of people had lost their lives. So, yeah. I do
feel like some true crime YouTubers are way too casual about some of the things they're talking
about and it's just a really weird atmosphere. However, I don't believe they're all like that.
You don't need good vocals to make a good song slash be a good artist. Here's why you're right.
I feel like Joji is a great example of this. Now, let it be said that his current vocals...
Ooh! They're on another level. However, a lot of his older music didn't have great vocals,
but honestly, that doesn't detract from the experience of enjoying his music whatsoever.
Not everyone can draw. Art teachers need to shut the frick up instead of telling someone they can
do better. Obviously, I'm not talking about me. Ha, ha, ha. LMAO. I wrote frick because
we don't want that yellow dollar sign. No, we don't. However, here's why you're wrong.
I personally believe everyone can draw because while some of drawing is talent, a lot of it is
actually just rules that you can follow and I believe that anybody can be taught those rules.
Starbucks coffee is awful and actually trash. People only buy it for the hype. Here's why
you're right. With prices like those, there's no way anybody's buying it for anything other than
hype. It's like the same thing as AirPods. They don't sound that good. People are buying them just
to buy them. I have an Apple device and I got these for less than the price of AirPods. So,
if you buy these tiny, little wireless earbuds instead of actual good headphones that are still
wireless, you did it just to do it. People give James Charles too much crap. Here's why you're
right. At this point, people just drag him for every single thing that he does and I think
not only is it weakening the value of actual criticism against James Charles, but it really
just makes the people doing it look really silly and petty. So, yeah. Give James Charles a break.
Pee pee, poo poo, wa wa. Period. Here's why you're right. Well, actually, if you can't tell why this
person is right, then you're probably really dumb. Millie Bobby Brown still looks like a
boy no matter how they dress her. Here's why you're wrong. Because Millie Bobby Brown is a
girl. Therefore, she looks like a girl. And technicalities aside, she just doesn't look
like a boy. Tik Tok isn't that bad. Here's why you're right. I think the majority of Tik Tok
is just kids having fun and the majority of Tik Tok criticism is just adults hating on things
that kids find enjoyable. However, I definitely think there's still a lot to be criticized and
I actually have a video coming up next week because Tik Tok did something unforgivable.
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. They were in a toxic relationship. Here's why you're right. You're just
right. Yeah, they were in a toxic relationship. There are two genders. Here's why you're right.
There are two genders. There are two colors. There are two seasons. There are also two planets. I
think if you look hard enough, you can find at least two of everything. Reaction commentary
is good. Here's why you're right. I sure hope it does. Tik Tok is, for the most part, only isolated
to the app unless you have a pretty established audience or get the video on Tik Tok spread on
Twitter. Here's why you're wrong. Even though I would've agreed with you a short time ago,
but I saw Charlie D'Amelio, a Tik Tok star, in a Super Bowl commercial. So, I think at this point,
Tik Tok is kind of spreading beyond the limitations of the app itself.
David Dobrik is boring. Here's why you're right. Because that's your personal opinion
and it's also one that I share. I do not find his content interesting even though I find his
work ethic very impressive. People need to stop asking about YouTuber's sexuality. It's gross.
Here's why you're right. Any information that a YouTuber chooses not to indulge, I think is
that person's business and it's a little weird to speculate on that. It's more than a little weird.
Friends isn't funny and is overrated. Here's why you're right. Because it just is. And this
is coming from the man who just said that things can't really be overrated. I'm sorry, Friends is
overrated. It's not funny. It's never been funny. There are no funny episodes. I do not know why
people keep trying to force me to not only watch, but enjoy the show. Stream The Office instead.
Billie Eilish deserved her Grammies. Here's why you're right. Because I think beyond all
the memes, beyond all the hype, beyond all the jokes about fake depressed teenagers... even
though I don't think there are any fake depressed teenagers... Billie Eilish makes good music. I
think part of that is her and part of that is the amazing production that her brother brings to the
table. So, yes. Just from a solely technical standpoint, you are correct. I do believe
Billie Eilish deserved her Grammies. D'Angelo Wallace would have some interesting opinions
about various types of media. Books, TV, movies, et cetera. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Here's why
you're right. I do. I do have a lot of opinions about a lot of the things that are happening in
the world of pop culture. And, actually, if you guys are interested, I could start
incorporating that into this channel more. It's plenty of shows we could be discussing. Everyone
on social media overreacts about everything and everyone should just follow @dangelno to
solve all their problems. Well, you heard them. Completing your education is actually important.
No judgment to anyone who drops out, but I just think you should at least finish high school.
Here's why you're right. I do think should at least finish high school just because, sadly
in this world, you can't get very far without a high school diploma. However, I still think public
school is a massive waste of time and is largely backwards. Freddie Mercury can hit these notes,
but his voice sounds awful. Here's why you're wrong. I think you're just objectively wrong. I've
never Freddie Mercury and thought he sounds awful before. I do think his vocal delivery can be a bit
jarring at times, but I've always chalked that up to be more of a stylistic choice. Tracing other
people's art is okay when you're learning. Shh! Here's why you're right. I think tracing other
people's art is okay in any context as long as you're not posting it and then not disclosing it.
Lover is Taylor Swift's worst album. I don't care what the Swifties say. Here's why you're
right. Lover is incredibly boring. I did not feel anything while I listened to that album
and this is as someone who used to have a crush on Taylor Swift... but we don't talk about that.
I just didn't get the hype. I felt like it was a lot of promotion for what was kind of a soulless
product. I don't know. I know Taylor Swift is capable of pulling off some really deep stuff,
but that's not the vibe I was picking up from her album. And then our last one says,
this sounds like a copy of Fantano's Let's Argue series. Um... We don't have to address
that one. So, yeah, that was the first episode of Here's Why You're Wrong. I think most people
in this episode were wrong, so if you want to change that, give me some actual good opinions.
But no. All jokes aside, I really appreciate everyone who shared their opinion. Be sure to
do so on my Twitter on in the pinned comment below. But, ultimately, opinions are just
opinions. Everyone has them and they're all wrong except mine. So, obviously, who cares?
