A couple of cracking links to LFC fancasts in the 'Witchunt' thread. Reminded me of the Arsenal Fan TV muppets and their regular meltdowns under Wenger. Funny, as an outsider but betrays a lot of what's wrong with Football and humanity imho.

Them you've got decent fan led content featuring discussion, interviews with figures linked to clubs. Measured(ish) analysis and fan led takes on the big issues around the club. These arguably democratise football media in an era of Sky inventing football in the 90s. But they also lead accusations of egotism and seeking attention.

So, on balance, a force for good or ill? Somewhere in between? Please share examples of good and egregious practice for all clubs, including our own.

'fan led' is a misnomer. All these meeja channels are run by individuals and present individual views.
They can't speak for a fan base any more than Sky, BT, BBC etc.
To a man they are indeed egotists and attention seekers.
 
Cheese on toast for me

The people who do it tend to be the biggest man-baby mad men going and I think a lot of them need help or the touch of another human but what freaks me out even more is the huge numbers of subscribers and viewers you get

I live down south so don’t get to many games but I stream every game and watch a lot round my dads or him round mine. I would never ever think the best way to follow the match was watching some weirdo on YouTube watch the match and spout utter nonsense for 90+ minutes out of his mums box room, it’s absolutely baffling

Honestly fair play to them for monetising the fact their mad bastards but who are these saddos watching?

The absolute worst thing on the planet, I include the clueless biffs who do the Everton stuff. A bunch of click hungry know nothing fatties to a man

But what about stuff that our very own @AndyC participates in? There's different levels to this stuff, arguably.

I found the Toffee TV interview with Paul Gregg interesting, as an example of a positive.

Yeah, nothing wrong with fan-led media. Be it podcasts, YouTube or forum's such as this. Just watching another person watch a match is dead weird though. It's like those YouTube videos of people unwrapping presents.
