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
Benjamin Campbell
Is this Sam Hyde of /lit?
Alexander Ross
>booktuber
:/
Nathan Gray
does he even have any credentials? having good taste in literature doesn't count.
Easton Wright
If people are actually sending him a lot of stuff to review this is absolutely reasonable.
Joshua Carter
He doesn't even have good taste. He just reads shit recommended by viewers of his channel.
Justin Collins
>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*
Christopher Phillips
>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
Alexander Hill
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
Angel Foster
>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.
Lucas James
TAKE OFF THE SHITTY B&W FILTER
Brody Lewis
>My time is very, very valuable sure
Jace Price
How else will he show he's an Intellectual, user?
Carson Ross
Simultaneously he's telling people to translate entire transcripts of his videos into French, Spanish, Japanese, etc in return for "shoutouts". lol
Tyler Powell
>"Hey, what do you do for a living?" >I read
Jaxson Baker
Why aren't this threads deleted?
Daniel Adams
Veeky Forums trolled Katie who did nothing wrong but won't troll this guy who totally deserves it
Sebastian Hernandez
Talk shit ----> Get hit
Jason Cooper
Why would they be? It's lit related, you don't have to like it faggot
Lincoln Morales
exactly, being paid for your time is not unreasonable
Jonathan Scott
we could do a blaha on him and mass-dislike his videos
Easton Diaz
being a douche about it and overestimating your worth is, however
Henry Brooks
Sounds nice desu
Ryan Powell
not if you're a literary agent or a professional of any kind
this guy is a booktuber
Nathan Thomas
>I booktube
Carter Gray
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.
Angel James
>Veeky Forums approved Veeky Forums related
Ryan Reyes
>why am I the best booktuber in the world? >it was a low bar
It would be pretentious if he wasn't right.
Sebastian Allen
>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.
Austin Gray
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
Tyler Allen
>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.
Joshua Gray
>all these people jelous of him because he's a fucking superior patrician and you're all just ugly virgins
Jackson Evans
>not chat shitty get banged >not being apart of the/sp/lit/ broship
Tyler Carter
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.
Nathan Wood
there is no demand most booktubers will do reviews in exchange for a copy (even epub or pdf) of your book
Nicholas Thomas
He has a patreon he encourages/demands everyone support him through
Jordan Turner
Bookchemist is way better.
Dylan Allen
I mean, apparently there is, if he can demand a price.
Leo Adams
He probably could have his way with any mindless booktuber slut he pleases.
Samuel Jones
$100 per book review...
Liam Torres
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.
Andrew Bennett
you think he let Katie cry out on his shoulder? you think he gave her the D while she was sobbing after our bullying?
Aiden Lopez
DELET1!!
Jose Sullivan
>I can make a youtube channel and ask for shit too. I'm assuming he's not lying here. Obviously he could be lying.
Zachary Flores
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?
Lucas Russell
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.
Sebastian Gutierrez
we broke her self-worth he broke her hymen
Ryder Cook
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.
Benjamin Miller
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.
Brayden Garcia
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.
Dylan Stewart
Editing. I'm guessing commercials or some shit like that.
Samuel Kelly
He book tubes full time And to make ends meet I think he has an older rich wife
Ayden James
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.
Josiah Jenkins
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...
Carter Bennett
>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.
Cameron Gutierrez
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.
Jaxon Allen
Surely nothing is better than a negative review.
Anthony Foster
Trouble is I've come to realize I haven't a single fully formed opinion
Grayson Bell
>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.
Easton Bailey
Well, there it is.
Brody Barnes
yup
Dylan King
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.
Brody Allen
I stopped hating him once I discovered that he was Islamophobic
Julian Perez
that sounds pretty good actually
Anthony Turner
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.
Carter Gomez
>hat's why people take Cliff seriously he reviews good books but his reviews are shit
Nathan Thomas
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.
Connor Miller
Let's pay him to read The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra
Austin Reed
>ex, why, and zed >zed YOU'RE AN AMERICAN YOU RAT-FACED FUCK
Dylan Fisher
>Veeky Forums quality oi i'm laffin
i thought summer ended? we r legion xD, epic /b/rother
Eli Ramirez
I stopped hating him when he let me suck him off for $100.
Gabriel Cox
people her are too much of a faggots to raid something unless that something is a teenage girl like katie
Isaiah Gomez
i only charge $50, will read your erotic poetry back to you AND give you a lil review + i don't have front teeth so it makes for a smoother bj deal?
Jason Edwards
son I've been here since the dawn of Veeky Forums. back in my day when we called someone a newfag, it meant they migrated from the website newgrounds. you probably weren't even born when that website was popular. our queen was the skyqueen not some fat hipster emo boxxy.
Tyler Robinson
or at least we should spam his inbox with long, obtuse novels that are full of gratuitous homosexuality and Veeky Forums memes
Asher Watson
not him but oh shit I remember newgrounds
I used to play their porn games when I was like 13
Daniel Taylor
All gay the characters should be anagrams of his name too.
John Peterson
everyone should spam his inbox with our novels Tundra, Hypershpere, etc
Thomas Martin
He needs to review our maximalist absurd postmodern novels.
He says upfront that he charges money for him to look at works you send him and in what ways he thinks they can be improved upon. It doesn't matter is some people do it for free, or if Veeky Forums will do the same. That's his services and if you don't want it, then don't send him your book or money.
The only thing he has of value is his own life, his time left for his life. He finds it immoral for someone to ask him to waste his time for nothing. To be altruistic for nothing.
Fucking parasites.
Jonathan Price
What's the name of the operation? We need a name.
Logan White
>He needs to >he must do X He doesn't need to do anything. If you want him to read Hypershere, then pay him for the collective good of Veeky Forums. Do the selfless act of throwing away ~ 750$ 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.
Thomas Powell
>Fucking parasites. >posts a pic of a welfare queen
how fitting
Adam Garcia
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.
Brody Torres
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.
Dylan Green

Joshua Flores
>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
Josiah Gomez
>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.
Angel Allen
exactly
Nolan Richardson
>charges money for his work it is not work making reviews may be considered work but he's just reading, that's leisure time.
Austin James
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?
Kayden Edwards
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.
Ethan Martinez
you fags don't understand, it's not that he's charging money for reviews, it's his unwavering arrogance and snobbishness.
Joshua Rodriguez
s h i l l
Jason Richardson
like I said. he's just a giant faggot. someone get /b. although they won't care lol.
Xavier Bennett
>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.
Angel Gray
>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
