When asked about the merits of Fantano’s reviews, Robert Christgau—admittedly ‘barely recognizing’ Fantano’s name and having only ‘glanced over’ his Wikipedia page—said in 2019, “he seems to have arrived at a plausible brand of 21st-century rockcrit taste that runs toward what I’ll call dark prog-the godfathering Swans, this year’s number one Daughters, on the rap end his beloved Death Grips. But clearly he’s broader than that. Little apparent interest in the pop end or indeed tune or indeed fun, however-always a tragic and psychologically revealing lacuna. Nowhere near as insensible to Hip-hop/R&B as dark proggers tend to be, but note that very few female artists crack his top 10s, which in 2018 was really missing the action. Fantano seems to have figured out a way to make some kind of living by disseminating his own criticism in the online age. That’s an achievement.”

In order to earn enough money to pay his editor Austin Walsh, by November 2016, Fantano had recorded more regularly on a secondary YouTube channel, “thatistheplan”, on which he reviewed memes and recorded “often irreverent videos that don’t fall into the record review format,” according to SPIN.
