What's with all this talk of Ant needing subs and TACS not doing well...

Didn't Ant say in one of the first TACS shows that he was now making more money than he did at Sirius?

Even Ron passed on TACS.

Jimbo passed on it ,that says it all right there.

ain't lookin good

I don't think it would really be a surprise if Anthony's subscriptions are down. It's got to be difficult to keep your name out there when you're not a comedian/actor/radio host without a huge platform. I imagine that's why the whole Opie shenanigans went down, and I can't really fault him for it.

I guess the line of thinking is: "Why would Ant care about Opie fighting for his job so bad if he was doing well?" If O&A was by his own admission strictly business and he didn't particularly enjoy working with Opie on a personal level, then building resentment over the loss of that brand seems to indicate he was better off there. It was also probably fueled by Ron Bennington choosing to continue with Sirius instead of joining Ant.

To me, there's really no way of knowing unless Ant just tells us, which I don't see why he would/should do.

He just needs to tone down the race talk. It was good when alpha-males like Burr or Patrice would put him in his place.

Burr is an alpha male now? Ha!

I think you have to specifically be trolling me with this comment. I posted a thread the other day saying the exact opposite of the second part. Burr never put Ant in any place. He argued like a passive aggressive woman and made his side of the debate look terrible and emotion-driven.

Back it up dummy.

Back any of your bullshit up, dummy.

I did. More than your "Anthony isnt doing well" without even anecdotal evidence. Are you able to string a coherent thought or position together?

He did and he is. There is also 3rd party verification of this.

3rd party?

Keith the Cop said it's true; cross his heart.

What more do you need?

That would be an improvement over the the quality of some TACS shows I've seen.

What third party? That seems a tad hard to believe.

So, I have been following this issue since TACS began, because I have been interested.

  • Before they fixed the bug on the live stream site, it was possible to see live views, and total views. Live views on shows averaged around 40k, total views around 100k (the latter probably included multiple viewings)

  • I was privy to TACS sub traffic stats until recently. These are certainly anecdotal. But using common sense, and looking at unique/total page views, you can come to a reasonable conclusion (subscriber counts are way off in the down direction). Keep in mind this was before the recent blowup, which would have skewed the numbers. So what I was looking at were the cleaner numbers.

  • Jim said before "Anthony is making lots of cash"

  • Bro Joe on a random USTREAM before Christmas said that Anthony was making more money than his Sirius XM contract

  • Anthony confirmed a post I made before Christmas speculating about sub #s.

  • There is a way to get a decent estimate of Livestream figures.

All in all, adding everything up, and subtracting certain things, the reasonable estimate is that he is sitting on 45-55,000 subs, each paying ~6$/m avg. Including advertising, other sources of revenue, deducting estimated expenses, he is doing very well.

If hes anywhere near 55,000 hes fucking killing it.

Advertisements and merch should cover the bandwidth cost so hes basically making 100% profit.

agree

Hm. Well, that was surprisingly informative.

He's about to start leasing studio space for around $13,000 a month, he's doing fine.

he has 12k subs. I have sources

You have shit, stupid.

You're full of shit.

no you dont. You follow around Anthony on reddit making the same posts to him. You too lame to have have any credibility.

Wait, so you're basically the third party? Get the fuck outta here.

So this is the quality of the new posters on here? Fuck off and re read what I wrote you illiterate muppet.

Oh, I'm sorry. I missed where you said Brother Joe said a certain number on some shitty ustream show and Jim saying Ant's making "lots of cash." Yeah, really great sources there.

Also, I've been here for over 9 months, but you probably didn't see me because your face was too full of Cumia cock.

HA. No I didnt see you. And I was pretty much following every thread. If you were on here, then that just goes to show that you didnt contribute or post anything of value to be remembered by. Carry on faggot.

Edit: Nice diversion tactic by the way ignoring the other points I made.

Contribute anything of value? It's a fucking message board, douche.

Exactly. If you are incapable of contributing a memorable post, idea, or thought after 9 months on something as trivial as a niche message board where the "competition" is shallow you should re evaluate your your basic abilities. Or at the very least not try to claim you should be taken seriously because you have been here "9 months"

And what's your big memorable post/idea? I don't know you either. Sounds like you're putting a bit too much effort into your messageboard posting. Go get some sun.

Its literally no effort at all to challenge half retards like you.

Again with a completely unrelated post. It's no wonder I don't know you, you're obviously a tad slow.

Edit: Nice diversion tactic by the way ignoring the other points I made.

It's not a diversion tactic, dummy. The other points make you the third party verification, which is completely worthless.

No. I have provided a lot more anectodal evidence to further my opinion, then you did to further your "waaaa, Anthony is not doing well". Go ahead, give me a coherent retort.

This is your first post, dummy-

He did and he is. There is also 3rd party verification of this.

Yeah, that sounds like an opinion. And you still haven't backed anything up except your obvious love of Anthony's penis in your mouth and asshole.

This is your first post, dummy

Again, this just goes to show your basic lack of analytic abilities. What you just posted is laughable.

That doesn't sound right, can you post the third party?

It's obvious that with making the WOG show free to everyone, Anthony was trying to draw in new fans because the numbas aren't where he needs them. The truth is, there are many other free entertainment options that are much better than TACS (and O&J for that matter). As much fun as watching Pockmarked Peter Pan and his yes men laugh at offensive songs like it's 2006, I let my sub expire (a sub so early I even got a t-shirt), and I doubt I'm alone.

Goddamnit, I thought I came up with that. Also, your autism, despite you being completely wrong, is staggeringly severe.

Gave up and couldnt respond huh? Noted faggot.

Respond to what? Why so angry about Anthony's numbers being down? It's not like you're gonna get a compound invite anyway.

Yup you see. You can not even have a rational stance on your bullshit opinions. Noted.

Stay mad. Noted.

Stay mad.

Either less than 18 years old, or just a useless human. Noted.

Nice new thread, totally not butthurt guy.

WOG is sitting at 120K views on YouTube just 4 days later. I doubt Ant's on the road to be a pauper like you're saying.

Oh, I don't think he's on the road to being a pauper at all. I just think it's highly unlikely that he's making near or more what he was making at SXM.

3rd party?

What third party? That seems a tad hard to believe.

That doesn't sound right, can you post the third party?

Nice new thread, totally not butthurt guy.
