what next for Chris ott?

I am sorry if people were made defensive by my initial posts and yes I could have been nicer about clarifying

croup i'm sorry but we're just gonna have to agree to disagree here, murder is wrong imo even if it is for "shits and giggles"

Lol you goddamn clown

yeah i was trying to find net work for brett gurewitz as another likely candidate for someone who got rich off of indie rock. dexter holland is worth $65 million fwiw but they jumped to the majors earlier than i remembered. liz phair is worth $3 million but who knows what the various pathways for that income stream are.

just as a library science like q, where are these numbers coming from?

Possibly bullshit google results.

sites like Celebrity Net Worth are total speculation and even the estimated worth of celebrities that Forbes publishes don't seem to be much better

only way to know for sure is to troll a person into bragging about their wealth. then knock it down 10%.

add back 10% for bennies, though

ott only makes $84,600?

he explicitly stated the bennies

he makes so much money that he needed to crowdfund a podcast, because podcasts are so expensive to produce

just the pod will run you 25k

thought it was 94K plus bennies...also that was probably quoting 2 years ago, so assuming even a 4% type cost of living bump for 2 years

he could be at over 98K plus bennies, however it's possible that that's been offset by rising health care premiums post ACA

i don't know, lots to think about

4% damn son

this is the ott we're talking about man c'mon gotta pay to play

my daughter has a little friend named Benny and I think about Ott's bennies every time he comes over. which is nice.

i always think of benzedrine

I named my son 94K because you have to dream

Maybe Ott has two little friends both named Benny?

I named my son 94K because you have to dream

I can just imagine little 94K Bennie Keyes running around the playground, talking shit about Best Coast for doing a Scion sponsored club show

somewhere, right now, chris is nodding

I don't know about Chris but I am nodding

9.3

what is he actually up to nowadays?

enjoying those bennies

looks like he has an infrequently updated podcast about the cure and that's about it

the less online presence he has the better obv

i actually managed to join his semi unofficial discord server once i caught a livestream. there were a fair deal of people considering how elusive the whole thing was, they weren't that friendly to newcomers like myself though. i actually had to send my rym account to an admin in order to "prove i was a real person" but come on that was obv to judge if my music taste was good enough lol.

i like some of the shallow rewards videos, mostly because i'm more interested in critics talking about the music industry as a whole rather than trying to sell me why an album is good/bad. if anyone knows any other critic that does this i'd be glad to hear

ott's analysis of the industry sucks though & regularly would delve into conspiratorial nonsense

oh and also the two rules of the server were 1: NO FANTANO and 2: NO CARETAKER whoch i think is super fair

he bought a CD off me via discogs last year.

which one?

Caretaker
