r/opieandanthony: Nana’s book is his last gasp for money.

Nana’s book is his last gasp for money.

70 2018-05-05 by Edgartooth

I believe that the upcoming “Tell-All Book” from Anth is a desperate move by someone who is feeling the financial crunch from his sinking “media business”. I’m not saying he’s a month away from true financial failure, but there is a driver for this and that driver is his faltering cash flow.

His “network” consists of the people who work for essentially no money, just exposure on Compound Media. There’s a really short shelf-life for that. Shows will start to shut down out of fatigue, lack of interest and shitty production. It’s coming soon.

The random unjustifiable rate hikes -intended to drive annual membership signups to bring in cash today - tell me that Compound Media is nearing its final stages and hasn’t been profitable for a while now. Given the lack of any management at the company, the drama surrounding this meltdown will ironically be the only entertaining phase of Compound Media.

Finally, more Twitter bans -> more obscurity -> smaller pool of potential book purchasers. This, along with a general lonely-guy obsession with the platform, is why he’s relatively cautious on there these days. “Mister Free Speech” can’t afford it anymore.

It’s delicious.

I would convert to Islam if I thought it would make this happen

You would anyway if you valued your soul.

With a few notable exceptions nobody makes real money from books. It's an ego thing. O'Rielly did it with his "killing" series but he had a huge built in audience of uneducated what trash that wanted to consume all of the Civil war in 238 pages. Not much money to be had here. I expect it is an attempt to rehabilitate his image by doing a TV book tour. But we are not going to let that happen, are we? Who the hell is the ghost writer of this mess?

It takes only like 1000 copies to make NYT bestseller

If he gets on a Fox show or two he will sell a bunch. The exposure might pump up subs for a bit, until people listen

1 Yaseetheo 2018-05-05

Isn't he banned from Fox News?

1 SwampYankee 2018-05-05

not really sure.....now that you mention it he hasn't show up in a bit

1 JustPooch 2018-05-05

Yep. Due to the Dani DV incident.

1 PassProtect15 2018-05-05

Bingo. Books don't really make money unless they sell a zillion copies.

He had the ghost writers on his show (there's 2 or 3 of them) a while back.

1 SwampYankee 2018-05-05

Honestly I doubt if he even OWNS a book now. I presume he can read after getting all his information from TV for so many years who knows? I mean he reads right wing blogs and tweets? If he is smart (he is not) he will not shit all over everyone he met on the way up, but his track record has not been so good on that so far

Revelation 1: Brother Joe was Richard tree house

1 wicked_crayfish 2018-05-05

Even bigger revelation: anthony was Richard all along.

Biggest Revelation: Anthony asked to suck Richard's dick, which led poor Richard to turn gay because he felt attractive.

Nobody fucking knows who he is. The book wouldn't even be published by a major publisher. It's anthony Cumia... Remember that show opie and anthony?... No? It was kind of like Howard Stern. He's the one not named opie.

1 lifeobenreilly 2018-05-05

Yeah, that guy has an actual job.

1 paulallens 2018-05-05

Anthony Cumia that's kind of like Howard Stern... Oh you mean the guy in Chicago - Mancow? No? Ooooh, isn't he Bubba-the-love-something?? Oh uh... you sure you're not thinking of Tom Leykis?

1 DildoRenter 2018-05-05
