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?
