How I Hate My Fans: And Totally Lost my Fanbase A Book by Trent Reznor
Chapter 1- a slow, systematic decline in my mental health
I always used to troll forums. At first it was mainly echoing the sound under the name teitan. Occassionally I would tell fans off, but it was only on occassion.
Chapter 2- nin.com
It was wonderful coming up with a free website for the fans. That way I COULD CONTROL everything they do. And everything they see. I also make money off advertising the merchandise and having ads on the screen.
Chapter 3- Discovering twitter.com
Yes, twitter.com a free audience of over 630000 people where I can market myself and advertise for free.
Chpater 4- ALIENating my female fanbase
I decided I didn't want any more plump unattractive fans (most of the women who post at nin.com marodi, eyehatecrayons, NINfreak7) I went nuts. I decided to marry an ugly whore an ALIEN with no talent and I will put the relationship in your faces to turn you away from me. I just want to be left alone you know. My career is dying and I am losing ticket sales.
Chapter 5- Going After the Fans: Andrea Urban Fox, Fred Garrett, and hundreds more
I don't like what people say. If they don't like my music, they shouldn't be allowed to say it. I am a tyrant-what I say goes. Andrea Urban Fox, Fred Garrett, and the countless others I've blocked on twitter- goodbye to you. Get away from me. I am the supreme ruler here and you can only kiss my ass and make positive comments about me. Kiss this!
Chapter 6- Leaving Hope: Criticizing My Fellow Artists
Why not criticize my fellow artists? I get media attention from it and they won't fight back. I am just a fly int heir eyes. Chris Cornell, your album sucks. Marilyn Manson, you are a dopey clown. I made you, and I can put you back down too. Gene Simmons, you look like a clown. There, I've antagonized people and got more attention.
