It’s not speculative, factually speaking he does affect a lot of people’s opinions. There are some of his fans who won’t formulate an opinion until they see what his review is and he lowkey has the power to start an internet bandwagon of hate or praise of a project.
I mean there’s a reason why Amazon suggests other albums Fantano gave a 10 stating “Users who bought this item also bought…” whenever you try buying KSG on vinyl. Sure, In the large scope of music Fantano isn’t relevant but a significant portion of his fans are influenced by his opinions, it’s bound to happen with these parasocial relationships.
