Anthony Fantano 

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
