That sounds like the kind of thing that has to happen for a song to blow up like this one did.

Sad but true.

And the whistleblower says "Oliver Anthony seems like a genuinely great guy," which is true.

But the man is an industry plant and the success wasn't organic.

It's as simple as that.

LOL. Seriously? The problem with this take isn't that it is false. The problem is that its missing the point. Of course right wingers are gonna try to latch on to this song. That doesn't mean it isn't authentic. The question is, is anything authentic online? How do we even know? These "conservatives" that vote for the men this song talks about are kidding themselves. Conservatives are just progressives going the speed limit.
