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?

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.
5 thesynking 2015-04-10
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.
4 OpiesBreasts 2015-04-10
Burr is an alpha male now? Ha!
-1 RealRockTV 2015-04-10
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?
1 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
He did and he is. There is also 3rd party verification of this.
3 KeithThePig 2015-04-10
3rd party?

That would be an improvement over the the quality of some TACS shows I've seen.
3 Bick_Bickerson 2015-04-10
What third party? That seems a tad hard to believe.
9 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
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.
5 jiggabooooooooo 2015-04-10
If hes anywhere near 55,000 hes fucking killing it.
Advertisements and merch should cover the bandwidth cost so hes basically making 100% profit.
1 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
agree
3 Bick_Bickerson 2015-04-10
Hm. Well, that was surprisingly informative.
1 iAmJacksR3venge 2015-04-10
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
2 OpiesBreasts 2015-04-10
You have shit, stupid.
1 iAmJacksR3venge 2015-04-10
You're full of shit.
-1 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
no you dont. You follow around Anthony on reddit making the same posts to him. You too lame to have have any credibility.
-6 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
Wait, so you're basically the third party? Get the fuck outta here.
5 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
So this is the quality of the new posters on here? Fuck off and re read what I wrote you illiterate muppet.
-9 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
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.
4 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
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.
-5 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
Contribute anything of value? It's a fucking message board, douche.
4 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
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"
-6 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
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.
1 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
Its literally no effort at all to challenge half retards like you.
-3 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
Again with a completely unrelated post. It's no wonder I don't know you, you're obviously a tad slow.
-7 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
It's not a diversion tactic, dummy. The other points make you the third party verification, which is completely worthless.
9 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
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.
-6 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
This is your first post, dummy-
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.
2 ricardo_von_nicht 2015-04-10
Again, this just goes to show your basic lack of analytic abilities. What you just posted is laughable.
1 Opetta 2015-04-10
That doesn't sound right, can you post the third party?
-6 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
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.

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

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.
0 OpieOpieOpie 2015-04-10
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.
