Who will protect the innocent 21 year-olds from those lecherous "adult" 35 year-olds? Oh, the humanity. I actually apologized - but you won't see that on the timeline.

so apparently Chriss Ott is REALLY popular on reddit and 4chan
― flappy bird, Sunday, 15 May 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link
he did an AMA yesterday on r/indieheads and it was like, we are not worthy. i never heard of this guy before i read about him on ILM, so it was sort of a shock to see people (teenagers?) worshipping him
― flappy bird, Sunday, 15 May 2016 23:21 (eight years ago) link
people really respond to that level of financial success

Does Chris Ott laugh? Smile? What a miserable fella
― afriendlypioneer, Monday, 16 May 2016 14:56 (eight years ago) link
what does he even do now, besides be an internet grouch? i remember him doing some good stuff for perfect sound forever but it feels like my 2010s awareness of him has been exclusively through this thread

he followed me on twitter for awhile, then unfollowed me after i unfollowed him. so he seems like he spends a lot of time on the internet. he's probably reading this! hi chris

That more people read and/or react to my writing than most music critics out there today, and usually (notably, gratefully) from beyond the self-adoring, self-obsessed ILM/Reynolds/Momus/blogger community.Now are you riled? SUCKAZ SHOCKA!!!

The concept of "growing" is so pathetic - and the best part is this laughable conflation with it as some badge of depth, of wooden, True music, maaaaaaaaaaan. A "grower" is an album you don't like but either A) repeatedly subject yourself to because you know it has social currency and if you want to partake of its social currency you must submit to it on some level, or B) you ensure people know you're aware of until its handlers find some way of selling it in the future, at which point you can say "Oh yeah I remember that album, it came out last October", broadcasting your stature as an Alpha Consumer.I am hitting you in the face with a baseball bat right now.

TBF Reddit isn't happy with everything he's saying:
whatever9991230 9 points 2 days ago ive been way more disillusioned with music, recently. Every album is either a "surprise" release or pushed by the same marketing cycle. Is it too much for me to want something real/ is that even really possible anymore?
shallowrewards 0 points 2 days ago Patience is a virtue. Just ignore the noise and definitely filter anyone out of your life who uses music in a competitive way. If anyone asks you if you've heard of a band or heard a record, I mean, just delete that person from your life. When people ask me that, I invariably say no, whatever the case may be. And if they start to recommend it to me, I tell them it doesn't really sound like my kind of thing. Their discomfort and disappointment in not being able to use music in a way they should not be using it is a wonderful feeling.
VERY_LARGE_BENIS_XD 41 points 2 days ago Who the fuck is upvoting this? This idea is bizarre and misanthropic. Sure some people will do this in the competitive sense but others just want to turn you on to good music. I have found some great stuff by listening to friends and I'm all the happier for it.
