Veeky Forums's favorite booktuber

>"Fundamental and definitive statement: I will NOT read ANYTHING for free. You HAVE TO pay me. Period."
>"You can find out more about me by watching all of my reviews, and that is all I care to share on the subject."
>"Want my attention? Give me money. I will not read his/her work for free, ever, ever, ever."
>"I cannot afford to waste my time. My time is very, very valuable."
>"Novels $1/page, short material $50/hr (no guarantee of review)"

Oh boy, looks like those 10k subscribers got to his head.
youtube.com/watch?v=rRUZTXHUSBU

Why does he think his opinion or time is worth anything? He does booktubing; that tells me he has a lot of time to waste tbhwy blood relative

Is this Sam Hyde of /lit?

>booktuber

:/

does he even have any credentials?
having good taste in literature doesn't count.

If people are actually sending him a lot of stuff to review this is absolutely reasonable.

He doesn't even have good taste. He just reads shit recommended by viewers of his channel.

>ratfaced 40 years old goblin

I tried his Bernhard review:
>it's for Pessoa fans
>deeply melancholic
>says he's into paino music (like you know that Saatieh)
>talks about stuff irrelevant to the book
fuck this, i'm not gonna watch it any longer *closing tab*

>Why does he think his opinion or time is worth anything?
Cause he says his YT channel does "altruistic work". To be reviewed by him is essentially like being kissed on the mouth by jesus

He even addresses this specifically in his video, saying "no, I have no academic background, no training, no experience, NO credentials... but I have subscribers" lol. 10k is fucking nothing, AND he doesn't promise reviews, I've never even seen him review indie stuff.

I'm not a writer myself or anything so but damn it's just funny how entitled internet people are, thinking they're doing altruistic work and deserve to get donations for it. It's YOUR chosen hobby, not your right to make it as a living bro
All his videos are also like 30 minutes long and he talks more about himself than the books

>check out one of his reviews
>25 min video
>at least 10 minutes is just reading quotes and passages from the book
>"...wow" *stares into distance*
>suddenly starts reviewing different kinds of whisky for 10 minutes what the hell
>goes on a personal unrelated anecdote about himself for the duration of the video

What a pretentious faggot, truly the king of Veeky Forums.

TAKE OFF THE SHITTY B&W FILTER

>My time is very, very valuable
sure

How else will he show he's an Intellectual, user?

Simultaneously he's telling people to translate entire transcripts of his videos into French, Spanish, Japanese, etc in return for "shoutouts". lol

>"Hey, what do you do for a living?"
>I read

Why aren't this threads deleted?

Veeky Forums trolled Katie who did nothing wrong
but won't troll this guy who totally deserves it

Talk shit ----> Get hit

Why would they be? It's lit related, you don't have to like it faggot

exactly, being paid for your time is not unreasonable

we could do a blaha on him and mass-dislike his videos

being a douche about it and overestimating your worth is, however

Sounds nice desu

not if you're a literary agent
or a professional of any kind

this guy is a booktuber

>I booktube

Are you fucking retarded? How is this pretentious 'reviewer' faggot Veeky Forums approved? He's not even doing a novel review in this shitty video. This board gets worse every day.

>Veeky Forums approved
Veeky Forums related

>why am I the best booktuber in the world?
>it was a low bar

It would be pretentious if he wasn't right.

>this guy is a booktuber
No difference. He provides a publicity service to the authors whose books he reviews. Authors want publicity for their books, so they pay him for it. If there is demand, you make money of it.

That still doesn't absolve him from being a giant douchecanoe though.

I liked his shorter reviews, these 25+ minute ones are a bit too much. Standing up on a windy roof somewhere in NY talking and reading passages from Cioran. He still seems like a real cool guy though

>donations

He charges for a service, he's not asking for a hand-out.

Of course you'd have to be retarded to pay him to read your shit.

>all these people jelous of him because he's a fucking superior patrician and you're all just ugly virgins

>not chat shitty get banged
>not being apart of the/sp/lit/ broship

I believe everyone is upset because he has no credentials or professional experience to speak of and is giving the impression that his opinion should be valued as if he did. But yea, if people submit their work to him they would expect to be charged.

there is no demand
most booktubers will do reviews in exchange for a copy (even epub or pdf) of your book

He has a patreon he encourages/demands everyone support him through

Bookchemist is way better.

I mean, apparently there is, if he can demand a price.

He probably could have his way with any mindless booktuber slut he pleases.

$100 per book review...

I can make a youtube channel and ask for shit too.
The thing is if people will pay for it. Some people send their stuff to booktubers because they do reviews for free in exchange for a copy, but it is questionable if they would send their stuff if they had to pay for the reviews. If someone asks for money, they will send it to someone else, and if someone send him stuff, is because they didn't think he expects to be paid for his shitty reviews.

you think he let Katie cry out on his shoulder? you think he gave her the D while she was sobbing after our bullying?

DELET1!!

>I can make a youtube channel and ask for shit too.
I'm assuming he's not lying here. Obviously he could be lying.

Shit I thought you were joking.
He said in his video mostly girls pay him through Patreon. Wtf

I thought the donating money to internet strangers was a beta male thing?

His services are worth what people are willing to pay

I bet you could pay celebrities and insta whores to shill books, and they would ask for a lot more than $1/ page.

we broke her self-worth
he broke her hymen

I'm assuming he is not lying either. But I assume that most people expect him to do it for free, like most booktubers, otherwise he would't make this video. If people knew he wants to be paid for something that many more booktubers will do for free, nobody would send him shit.

Anyone know what this guy does for actual work? He looks well off, and I know he comes from money, but he never once mentions his career.

He probably got a bunch of form letter requests for reviews that are spammed to booktubers and he thinks they were actually looking for him specifically.

Editing. I'm guessing commercials or some shit like that.

He book tubes full time
And to make ends meet I think he has an older rich wife

He made a video months ago explaining that he will review material for a charge, and if he likes it you will get a video review to promote your book.

He did two video reviews and I guess became inundated with requests that either missed all the details of his agreement or want something for nothing. He seems pissed, so there must be a shitload of requests.

I mean, there may be enough people who value his opinion enough to give him the impression that he can put in the time to monetise it.

he looks like a douche though

wish I could monetise my opnion...

>He charges for a service, he's not asking for a hand-out.

He pretty much is. He's not asking being paid to do reviews, he's asking to do reviews FOR READING.
>"If I like it. I will review it"
You can send him money and still receive nothing.

When he said it was a low bar he wasn't kidding. If you have anything even remotely interesting to say just start your own channel.

Surely nothing is better than a negative review.

Trouble is I've come to realize I haven't a single fully formed opinion

>He pretty much is. He's not asking being paid to do reviews, he's asking to do reviews FOR READING

No he's not asking for a hand out. He's offering a shitty contract, but that's not the same as asking for handouts.

Well, there it is.

yup

YeahThe startup costs are virtually nil, and as long as your videos are well made and stick to some chosen format, your bound to make something. Oh, and don't review YA or current best sellers. That's why people take Cliff seriously: at least he only reviews Veeky Forums quality books.

I stopped hating him once I discovered that he was Islamophobic

that sounds pretty good actually

If he's being flooded with enough requests to make him make a video then the inboxes of those booktubers with >100k subscribers must be a nightmare to sift through.

>hat's why people take Cliff seriously
he reviews good books
but his reviews are shit

can we just fucking raid him for christ sake. he's a fucking faggot. this is Veeky Forums. don't think just because your on the lit board your somehow better than the rest of this website. let's cut this faggot up in his comment section. he has no opinions and is a homosex. let's do this.

Let's pay him to read The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra

>ex, why, and zed
>zed
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN YOU RAT-FACED FUCK

>Veeky Forums quality
oi i'm laffin

i thought summer ended? we r legion xD, epic /b/rother

I stopped hating him when he let me suck him off for $100.

people her are too much of a faggots to raid something
unless that something is a teenage girl like katie

i only charge $50, will read your erotic poetry back to you AND give you a lil review + i don't have front teeth so it makes for a smoother bj
deal?

son I've been here since the dawn of Veeky Forums. back in my day when we called someone a newfag, it meant they migrated from the website newgrounds. you probably weren't even born when that website was popular. our queen was the skyqueen not some fat hipster emo boxxy.

or at least we should spam his inbox with long, obtuse novels that are full of gratuitous homosexuality and Veeky Forums memes

not him but oh shit I remember newgrounds

I used to play their porn games when I was like 13

All gay the characters should be anagrams of his name too.

everyone should spam his inbox with our novels
Tundra, Hypershpere, etc

He needs to review our maximalist absurd postmodern novels.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

He says upfront that he charges money for him to look at works you send him and in what ways he thinks they can be improved upon. It doesn't matter is some people do it for free, or if Veeky Forums will do the same. That's his services and if you don't want it, then don't send him your book or money.

The only thing he has of value is his own life, his time left for his life. He finds it immoral for someone to ask him to waste his time for nothing. To be altruistic for nothing.

Fucking parasites.

What's the name of the operation?
We need a name.

>He needs to
>he must do X
He doesn't need to do anything. If you want him to read Hypershere, then pay him for the collective good of Veeky Forums. Do the selfless act of throwing away ~ 750$ worth of hours working to collect that amount to pay him so that the group known as Veeky Forums can collectively enjoy without having to have done anything.

>Fucking parasites.
>posts a pic of a welfare queen

how fitting

If someone paid for insurance their whole life and their house broken down, should they collect? Ayn Rand was for voluntary taxation. The only difference is that she was forced to pay her taxes and got money in return.

Look at that kooky amphetamine fried face. The saucer-sized pupils with the dead stare, the palpable bruxism, the sick pallor, the brittleness of her hair.

Every writer who used speed has been shit.

operation goblin liberation

>Veeky Forums raid a innocent girl that make videos of book she genuinely liked, full of sincerity and joy just because "le ebin raid ^__^"
>Veeky Forums still chilling for a fucking faggot that asks for money to read stuff while he can't even TALK about famous books

this place have hitted a new low

>this man charges money for his work
>how shameful, truly is is done because of ''greed'' and ''fame'', the mortal enemies of man!
>let's try to doxx him for exchanging time spent reading a book and giving his opinions on it for money
>an A for A.

exactly

>charges money for his work
it is not work
making reviews may be considered work
but he's just reading, that's leisure time.

Different times, user. But if you want to start it i'm not gonna stop you. I might even be by your side :3

Fuck off nigger faggot is he your boyfriend or something?

baldo bloodmeme meme man here. I can use my account to talk shit to him on youtube. what should I say? I'm too stupid to think of something on my own.

you fags don't understand, it's not that he's charging money for reviews, it's his unwavering arrogance and snobbishness.

s h i l l

like I said. he's just a giant faggot. someone get /b. although they won't care lol.

>it is not work
What do you define as 'not work'?
Reading the books he's interested in for his channel can be considered leisure time and to a certain extent, his job paid by his patrons.
However, being forced to read materials he has no interest in reading and giving his opinion on them is work, as it isn't part of his leisure time of reading what he's interested in reading.
You simply assume all reading is leisure reading.

>he acts a certain way, we must destroy him for acting in a way I deem distasteful.
Is there anything inherently wrong in acting snobish if you do not know him and are not expecting work from him for money?
His arrogance and snobbishness might be an issue if it reflected in his work, but you have nothing to say except criticize the person. How typical and boring.

How boring boring boring.
And here I thought Veeky Forums would raise above its own pettiness.

>work
lol, what is his work? read quotes and drink whisky? did you ever see any video by this guy, they are truly pathetic

>let's try to doxx
not doxx, just express a truthful opinion about this kind of bullshit, if, IF his opinions on already famous book were any good, original or insightful I would understand, but even then there is no excuse for a sad little video like the one in OP

I didn't think Veeky Forums was so full of delusional faggots defending a money grabbing retard like Cliff, I understand the shitpost and the memes on this board, its Veeky Forums after all, but I tought people he ewould be sincerely triggered by a pleb trying to monetize on shit opinions about books
