The "Fantano Effect" is when the popular music review channel "theneedledrop" AKA Anthony Fantano's opinion becomes their own, only liking or disliking a certain song or record because Anthony Fantano reviewed it as positive or as negative. Generally these people cannot think for themselves and form opinions based off of what others say.
Mark: you heard that new -insert artist here- ?
Jeff: yeah i'll listen to it
theneedledrop video releases about the record/song
Jeff: -same opinion as Fantano with little to no deviation -
Mark: That's the Fantano Effect I guess...

An internet-based music critic who happens to be a radical leftist sympathizer who was at one time mistaken for being "alt-right" and has since then been terrified of even the slightest connection to that term. From his comfy, gated, white community in Connecticut, he condemns anybody who hasn't bought into the "Comrade Cortez" ideology and holds a strong hatred towards police or any other establishment that has been smeared by the mainstream. While getting rid of student debt might sound good, Anthony fails to realize the ramifications as well as the process it would take to accomplish an almost impossible task. He has a black wife as well, so he scores a few woke points there too. While there is no harm in having personal political views, there is no need to present them or make them the main topic of a video which was predominantly supposed to be about music.
