Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond
youtu.be
When I first came across Oliver Anthony and his music, I was blown away to say the least. He had a whole collection of songs that I could listen to for hour...

9 and a half million views in only 5 days? Is this astroturfed or do people really want to hear a guy with 90 acres sing about how much he hates taxes and people on welfare?

Chuds really are working overtime to bring in working class votes with this nonsense.

    There is no fucking way that is organic. Not because I don’t think there are 9 million people that are shitty enough to identify with him, but in 5 days? Nah that’s astroturfed to hell and back.

    It’s Astro-turfed beyond belief.

    As at the same time, we had an actual viral song with that DJ Crazytimes bit. That took time to spread.

    The whole Oliver Anthony thing was INSTANT. As getting onto Spotify and such can be fast, but this was instant. The Twitter account? All of it.

    It’s also a shit song.
