>>121349490Look, my problem with him is that's he's not a reviewer. He's a recapper. Saying "that comic sucks" after 30 minutes of a detailed recap that is meant to *replace* experience of reading a comic isn't a fucking review.
So what's the problem with that? Linkara's most popular review is Marvel Zombies Return #1, which sits at 460k views, almost half a million.
During it's actual print run, according to Comichron, Marvel Zombies Return #1 sold 35,265 copies. Over ten times less than the views on the Linkara video. Most people aware of the comic 'read' it through Linkara's recap. It's basically for-profit piracy - I mean, the dude who runs ReadComicsOnline doesn't exactly rake in fat dough from those porn ads that everybody uses an adblocker for anyway, while Linkara earns 3000 bucks a month to profit of somebody else's work while occasionally making unfunny Power Rangers references to pretend he's creating something original.
Linkara is a parasite that suckles blood from a gaping wound on the body of the comic industry, and nobody cares.
For the record, I think exactly the same of the other 'recapper' youtubers who just recap issues with clickbait titles, like Variant Comics or Comicstorian.
