Why isn't he starting off free? For 2 months you get free access to everything, videos, instant feedback, etc. After generating a fan base that stretches beyond the orphaned O&A fans, you start charging.
Seriously, the first couple months are going to be working out the kinks anyways. Nobody wants to watch a show that is learning to walk on Bambi legs, while paying seven bucks a month.
I've been saying, he should keep the audio free and people can get it through iTunes, then the paying customers get to watch live videos and other crazy shit that happens behind the scenes.
At the very least he needs a free trial, for fans to see if it is going to have more direction than the LFTC shows and won't consist of Anthony's political or racial tirades.
Because the first few shows are going to be terrible. There is going to be a phase where he has to figure out all the shit that he wants to do, including getting a cohost to bounce shit off of. Having only the hard core listeners sign up during this phase is probably beneficial.
It'd be better not to charge while you're ironing out the kinks. Keep track of how many are viewing and once it starts to climb, that's when you drop the subscription on everybody. I guess that could backfire too.
Another solution is to offer like one episode a week for free. Just a taste.
Cuz then people are angry that what they once got for free is now behind a pay-wall. Either way people are never really happy about having to pay for shit on the internet.
$7 is not a lot, but people don't think about it like "$7 is just a pint of beer", they are going to think about the tens of thousands of hours of content Netflix has for $7.99/month. I include myself, I spent $350 on a phone and changed the date 100 times just to avoid paying $2 for Candy Crush. It provides a barrier to entry that is likely to get Ant an audience similar to the first subscription XM days.
they are going to think about the tens of thousands of hours of content Netflix has for $7.99/month.
True, but nobody is going to watch all those thousands of hours each month. They most likely end up watching a movie or TV show more or less every night. They basically end up paying for what turns out to be 7-14 hours of entertainment each week.
This is essentially the same "value" of entertainment Anthony will be offering.
I will subscribe for at least a month and see how it goes.
Yeah I get that you are getting more choices with Netflix, but the amount of time you are actually being entertained for is still only a couple hours per night with either option.
yes, but the ability to chose holds value in and of itself apart from just the time spent watching. Saying that you only get value for the content that you actually watch is over simplifying the issue.
That's not the point. For even $10/month from Netflix, you get access to years worth of content. Ant isn't starting there. He has to have something to make that money seem worthwhile.
just like I wouldn't pre-order a game, I'll wait and see. No fucking way I'm paying for anything up front without seeing an example (and LFTC is a poor example)
I'm not sure yet. Not because of the money, but because I'm unsure that I'd want to listen to the content. LFTC is unlistenable, and I'm not convinced that Ant has the motivation or ability to put together a listenable show for 8 hours a week. I know it sounds harsh but Opie's contributions really mellow out Ant's diatribes, and this is coming from a registered Republican. Ant may be the engine of OnA, but removing Opie is like trying to drive a Mustang without wheels.
I'll pirate it for a bit first. I like Ant but an extra 7 bucks on top of all my other subscriptions is not appealing at all. $7.00 is cheap but would I really get the value out of it that I get out of Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, SiriusXM, etc...
I could see myself paying an extra $7.00 for a network of exclusive podcasts or shows but $7.00 for 1 show? No thanks.
EXAMPLE... I voluntarily pay a subscription of $5.00 a month for TWIT.tv. There are a bunch of shows that I always watch so I see my monthly donation to be a very good value. Sure, its all available free but I choose to support it because of the value and because if no one supports it, the shows and network will go away.
Get ESD and a few others to do daily or weekly shows and the value will build up, but it currently isn't there yet. It takes time to build up a network but that should be Ant's investment, not mine.
Well obviously they're not talentless or I wouldn't be here but I've just never enjoyed the show as much anytime one of the three isn't there. They're magic together.
I am going to wait and see how his first few shows go.
I love him but his political rants are unbearable to me. I suspect he may spend most of his show on just that and I have no interest in paying for that.
I will pay whatever he charges to listen to his show. I think a lot of fans are with me. Opie is the one truly getting hurt by all of this and for that I feel bad for the Opester.
Nope. At least with Sirius/XM they would bring in people for Ant to debate. Do you think his own show will have that? If he is open to debate then maybe.... otherwise it will just be him flapping his ultra-conservative gums about how bad white folks have it. Ain't nobody got time for that.
It has to be something extraordinary for me to pay for a subscription. Like drunken Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking quantum mechanics with strippers kind of extraordinary.
I don't share the same reading list with Anthony, so the topics dear to him are not interesting to me. I don't share his animus towards "blacks culture", and couldn't give a rats ass about the 2nd amendment. This is why I think the solo show is in trouble.
Anthony is amazing when he ventures out of his comfort zone and talks about things that don't necessarily overlap with his interests. That's why O&A worked so well.
I'm with the hive mind here. We need a taste what he's offering first before subscribing.
International fan here, ill be paying for it since i couldnt for SiriusXM. Even if i only listen a few times a month, it could help things come october.
I've been a fan of his/theirs since the mid-2000's. As an international listener, SiriusXM wasn't an option. But since I do enjoy the content, I don't mind paying 8 USD a month for it.
Especially if he brings back some of the great stuff from yesteryear that they couldn't do the past years.
Sub obviously. I watch maybe 10 hours a month on Netflix and this will be even more than that. As long as I can pay without Paypal though because fuck that company.
If you enjoy the content support it by paying for it. Seems too many people believe everything should be free yet if they were asked to do something they absolutely would expect to be paid.
Then again at 8 dollars a month, that could be utilized to buy a 24 pack of soda or you could just buy a Big Mac meal.
I doubt it, but maybe....
I get Adam Carolla / Joe Rogan / Jim Florentine / Jay Mohr / Bill Burr / Ari Shaffir / Marc Maron / Nick Dipaolo all for free. As easy as it is to get everything free now, I can't conceive actually paying a monthly fee for content anymore. I get all my music, all new movies in theaters, audiobooks, podcasts all free, if it gets amazing reviews I might reconsider.
7 bucks a month is dirt cheap. Definitively be subscribing to the show. The only reason to not sub is if you're a kike jew goldberg asshole or just below the poverty line.
I thought seven was perfect pricing but reading the comments I think people have a financial death by multiple subscriptions thing going on. I don't subscribe to anything else which is maybe why I felt it was good.
And I guess the problem is he needs to attract more than just hardcores who consider ant a friend.
Quality over quantity. Netflix has hundreds of hours of shit content. If ant is even half as entertaining as he was on o&a it'll be worth the $7 plus. Cheap fans who post #istandwithant are weighted down by their fat wallets when money is involved.
I'd bail out Ant if he was locked up. Definitely will subscribe, as I've got nothing to listen to anymore while I'm working. I had XM for 10 years, distributed all over my houses, shop and wicked tuna vessel. Gonna miss that shit offshore this summer.
Yes, I will be buying my subscription the first day. I cancelled my SXM so I need something. I, unlike everyone else here, hope he does rant some. Some of the funniest moments I've heard on the show were during, or a direct result of, Ants ranting.
I can't possibly imagine it transforming completely from the old, free LFTC into something brand spankin' new
That is exactly what he is planning. It will be a whole new animal. I read your posts before and I dont see why you are so against this. Give it a chance
Yes,if he puts it up on amazon because I'm foreign scum and do not have a credit card. Fans of the show should abstain from torrenting it,at least until October. Let's give Ol' gravel face a shot against that horrid company that the rest of the boys still have to work with. All Sirius (since the merger) did was to bury the channel and strip all the life force out of the show.
Yes. And I don't give a fuck, I'll take money away from other useless shit. 8 bucks a month ain't bad (I think its 8 a month.) I torrent everything but I'll support the Guinea fuck cause we KNOW he is talented and will be entertaining. We waste money on all sorts of garbage why not ant shit? I hope ant finds a more marketable model though, he's not a guy who will supplement his income on stand-up or acting or shit like other podcasters. But for not, he is worth it.
Yes I will be subscribing because why the fuck not. I appreciate all the free podcasting I get and I subscribed to Audible that was $16 a month and it was spotty at best. $7 for un censored anthony with video with I'm sure there will be various perks and interactivity.
I understand everyone's point on yeah most podcasts are free an cost money blah blah. But they way that Ant is doing this in such a way that's so fast that it costs serious money to do. Server costs alone in the coming months will become insane. One of the biggest podcasts around (Joe Rogan's) probably breaks even at best but joe doesn't care because he has the money to fund his passion. Also nobody is really doing podcasting the way that Ant is thinking on doing this. Most are interview shows/ they do live gigs for income. Why not offer more and pay a little something for it.
Bottom line this shit costs money and I don't give a fuck. Day one I'm paying my money for Ant to do his thing.
I can't believe how cheap you guys are. $7.99 is nothing considering the hours of laughter and enjoyment you will get. Hell, minimum wage is more than that or hour, and all of you crybabies spend more than an hour a day on here whining about things. Is your time worth so little?
It's just hilarious everyone wants O&A&J podcast, but y'all want it all for free. Fuck. Support these guys. No one can feed their family on free. I am ashamed of my generation.
It's called advertising moron. And they're going to have a lot easier time feeding their kids than I, especially because only one of them actually has a family to feed. Keep your clueless diatribes to yourself.
e: And full disclosure, I've been a Sirius subscriber solely to listen/support the O&A channel and not against paying for Ant's new show.
Anyone asking for a trial. You have 20 years of radio to mill over on youtube. Pay up you cheap fucks. Pass up one cheeseburger and fries this month and send it over to Ant. If nothing else, then out of support for at least one month. Then if you don't like it, unsubscribe. But don't act like Anthony is some new kid who needs to be validated before you decide to buy.
I thought seven was perfect pricing but reading the comments I think people have a financial death by multiple subscriptions thing going on. I don't subscribe to anything else which is maybe why I felt it was good.
And I guess the problem is he needs to attract more than just hardcores who consider ant a friend.

And there are some who are happy to pay $9 just to see one 2 hour movie as soon as it comes out.
Choice isn't everything, new original content isn't everything.
Which is why the original comparison to netflix is pointless in the first place.
To me, 7 bucks for 32+ hours of content a month is way worth it, as long as it's entertaining.
-9 hansel4150 2014-07-15
Netflix isn't $7.99 anymore. It went up if you're a new subscriber. And it's gonna go up in a year for existing subscribers too.

Yes, but mostly just as a vote in favor of racial hatred. I'll consider the show a bonus feature.

I smoke ciggys and drink like a cunt. I can take one night off to buy a years subscription for my pal, Ant.
We've all wasted money on less. Just buy it and help send a message.

I thought seven was perfect pricing but reading the comments I think people have a financial death by multiple subscriptions thing going on. I don't subscribe to anything else which is maybe why I felt it was good. And I guess the problem is he needs to attract more than just hardcores who consider ant a friend.

Didn't subscribe to SXM, will subscribe to this since the money is going straight to him.

Quality over quantity. Netflix has hundreds of hours of shit content. If ant is even half as entertaining as he was on o&a it'll be worth the $7 plus. Cheap fans who post #istandwithant are weighted down by their fat wallets when money is involved.
0 haircut_100 2014-07-15
Yes. No questions asked.
0 DutchHarry 2014-07-15
Yes i will....
0 thegame310 2014-07-15
Yes.
0 GMWhite 2014-07-15
I'd bail out Ant if he was locked up. Definitely will subscribe, as I've got nothing to listen to anymore while I'm working. I had XM for 10 years, distributed all over my houses, shop and wicked tuna vessel. Gonna miss that shit offshore this summer.
0 antfan 2014-07-15
Yes, I will be buying my subscription the first day. I cancelled my SXM so I need something. I, unlike everyone else here, hope he does rant some. Some of the funniest moments I've heard on the show were during, or a direct result of, Ants ranting.

well. you clearly are an antfan.

Indeed. I figured my name should be to the point. Plus, UnclePaulFan was already taken.. -.-

That is exactly what he is planning. It will be a whole new animal. I read your posts before and I dont see why you are so against this. Give it a chance

I agree where the first show should be free to see what we are dealing with. And cheer up, life is good.

Never paid for Sirius, just youtubed it. I'll definitely pay for this though to support Ant
-2 anonimescu 2014-07-15
Yes,if he puts it up on amazon because I'm foreign scum and do not have a credit card. Fans of the show should abstain from torrenting it,at least until October. Let's give Ol' gravel face a shot against that horrid company that the rest of the boys still have to work with. All Sirius (since the merger) did was to bury the channel and strip all the life force out of the show.
-2 [deleted] 2014-07-15
Yes. And I don't give a fuck, I'll take money away from other useless shit. 8 bucks a month ain't bad (I think its 8 a month.) I torrent everything but I'll support the Guinea fuck cause we KNOW he is talented and will be entertaining. We waste money on all sorts of garbage why not ant shit? I hope ant finds a more marketable model though, he's not a guy who will supplement his income on stand-up or acting or shit like other podcasters. But for not, he is worth it.
-2 xjtsx 2014-07-15
I'm paying.
-4 FaFaFlooey 2014-07-15
Yes I will be subscribing because why the fuck not. I appreciate all the free podcasting I get and I subscribed to Audible that was $16 a month and it was spotty at best. $7 for un censored anthony with video with I'm sure there will be various perks and interactivity.
I understand everyone's point on yeah most podcasts are free an cost money blah blah. But they way that Ant is doing this in such a way that's so fast that it costs serious money to do. Server costs alone in the coming months will become insane. One of the biggest podcasts around (Joe Rogan's) probably breaks even at best but joe doesn't care because he has the money to fund his passion. Also nobody is really doing podcasting the way that Ant is thinking on doing this. Most are interview shows/ they do live gigs for income. Why not offer more and pay a little something for it.
Bottom line this shit costs money and I don't give a fuck. Day one I'm paying my money for Ant to do his thing.

I can't believe how cheap you guys are. $7.99 is nothing considering the hours of laughter and enjoyment you will get. Hell, minimum wage is more than that or hour, and all of you crybabies spend more than an hour a day on here whining about things. Is your time worth so little?
It's just hilarious everyone wants O&A&J podcast, but y'all want it all for free. Fuck. Support these guys. No one can feed their family on free. I am ashamed of my generation.
1 WadeWilsonsSoul 2014-07-15
It's called advertising moron. And they're going to have a lot easier time feeding their kids than I, especially because only one of them actually has a family to feed. Keep your clueless diatribes to yourself.
e: And full disclosure, I've been a Sirius subscriber solely to listen/support the O&A channel and not against paying for Ant's new show.
-4 andrewsj1 2014-07-15
Anyone asking for a trial. You have 20 years of radio to mill over on youtube. Pay up you cheap fucks. Pass up one cheeseburger and fries this month and send it over to Ant. If nothing else, then out of support for at least one month. Then if you don't like it, unsubscribe. But don't act like Anthony is some new kid who needs to be validated before you decide to buy.
-7 Misinformed_Larry 2014-07-15
If it's seven bucks i'm going to pass. If it's five or under i'll sub for a while.

Eat 2 less cheeseburgers a month you fat fuck.

I already tried that angle. There's too many obese fans. They stand with each other and downvote us for equating money to burgers.

People need to stop thinking that existing Lftc is going to be like his new show.

Not really, since Ant is only offering one show whereas Netflix offers you the tens of thousands of shows to choose from.
1 i_wanted_to_say 2014-07-15
It is 2 hours per day though, at 4 days a week, comes out to like 30 hours a month.
