Fantano was offered an album review show on [[Adult Swim]] but declined.<ref name=":0" /> By the end of 2017, Fantano had reached a million subscribers and diversified his content to include weekly "track roundup" videos, livestreamed Q&As, and video think-pieces alongside his album reviews.<ref name=":1" /> To earn enough money to pay his editor Austen Walsh, by November 2016, Fantano was recording more regularly on a secondary YouTube channel, "thatistheplan", on which he reviewed memes and recorded "often irreverent videos that don't fall into the record review format", according to ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]''.<ref name=":0" />

In October 2017, an article by Ezra Marcus in ''[[The Fader]]'' accused Fantano of promoting [[alt-right]] sentiments in videos on "thatistheplan". Marcus criticized Fantano for the use of [[Pepe the Frog]] memes (which had recently been labeled [[Pepe the Frog#Use by the alt-right|an alt-right symbol]]) and targeting [[Feminism|feminists]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 4, 2017 |title=Popular music vlogger accused of promoting alt-right sentiment – NME |work=NME |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/popular-music-vlogger-accused-pandering-alt-right-separate-channel-2147022 |access-date=August 23, 2018 |archive-date=April 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220423115205/https://www.nme.com/news/music/popular-music-vlogger-accused-pandering-alt-right-separate-channel-2147022 |url-status=live }}</ref> After the article was released, multiple scheduled dates of ''The Needle Drop'' U.S. tour were cancelled, with at least one ticket booking site for a [[Brooklyn]] tour date stating that their cancellation was due to the ''Fader'' article.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Anthony Fantano's Entire Tour Canceled Over Racist, Alt-Right Allegations |work=Digital Music News |url=https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/10/10/anthony-fantano-tour-canceled-alt-right/ |access-date=October 2, 2020 |archive-date=September 22, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922195333/https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/10/10/anthony-fantano-tour-canceled-alt-right/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=October 5, 2017 |title=The Needle Drop Live Shows Cancelled Amid Controversy |work=Noisey by Vice |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/7xkj4x/the-needle-drop-live-shows-cancelled-amid-controversy |access-date=October 2, 2020 |archive-date=November 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111202313/https://www.vice.com/en/article/7xkj4x/the-needle-drop-live-shows-cancelled-amid-controversy |url-status=live }}</ref> Fantano produced a video response calling the article a "hit job".

In June 2019, Fantano made a cameo appearance in [[Lil Nas X]]'s video for the [[Young Thug]] and [[Mason Ramsey]] remix of "[[Old Town Road]]", appearing as a security guard for the [[Area 51]] military installation (a reference to the "[[Storm Area 51]]" meme).<ref>{{Cite web|last=Will|first=Gottsegen|date=July 16, 2019|title=Lil Nas X Releases Insane Meme-Filled Video for Newest "Old Town Road" Remix|url=https://www.spin.com/2019/07/lil-nas-x-old-town-road-remix-area-51-video/|access-date=February 5, 2022|website=Spin|language=en-US|archive-date=February 5, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220205004010/https://www.spin.com/2019/07/lil-nas-x-old-town-road-remix-area-51-video/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Spearman|first=Kahron|date=July 19, 2019|title=Area 51 remix video proves it's the summer of Lil Nas X|website=[[The Daily Dot]]|url=https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/old-town-road-remix-area-51-memes/|access-date=February 5, 2022|archive-date=January 23, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123153314/https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/old-town-road-remix-area-51-memes/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Later that year he curated a charity compilation, ''The Needle Drop LP'', which consists of tracks performed by "artists that have either been featured on the site or reviewed favorably in the past". Profits from the album were donated to The Immigrant Legal Resource Center non-profit.<ref>{{cite web |title=Open Mike Eagle Shares New Song to Support Immigrant Legal Resource Center: Listen |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/open-mike-eagle-shares-new-song-to-support-immigrant-legal-resource-center-listen/ |first=Allison |last=Hussey |date=September 13, 2019 |accessdate=June 8, 2021 |website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |archive-date=June 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210617092328/https://pitchfork.com/news/open-mike-eagle-shares-new-song-to-support-immigrant-legal-resource-center-listen/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2022, Fantano was referenced on rapper [[Logic (rapper)|Logic]]’s track "LaDonda", from his studio album ''[[Vinyl Days]]''. He discusses his relationship with Fantano, calling him a "plaid-shirt-wearing motherf**ker" and admitting that he had "fantasized about murdering" him after he had issued negative reviews of his albums ''[[Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (album)|Confessions of a Dangerous Mind]]'' and ''[[Supermarket (Logic album)|Supermarket]].''

On September 15, 2022, Fantano uploaded a video on his second channel jokingly claiming that [[Drake (musician)|Drake]] had sent private messages to him on [[Instagram]], specifically recommending Fantano a [[Veganism|vegan]] cookie recipe. In response, Drake posted his genuine messages to Fantano on Instagram Stories, which stated that Fantano's existence is a "light 1" and that the "1 is cause [he is] alive".

=== Albums rating scale ===
Albums are rated on a standard zero to ten scale, with additional qualifiers ("light", "decent", or "strong"). Fantano will also occasionally give a score outside of the standard scale, such as "''NOT GOOD''" for albums he deems unworthy of reviewing in full, believing the album to simply be "not good".<ref>{{Citation |title=Is NOT GOOD Worse Than a 0/10? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVvldiRCnec |access-date=2024-02-14 |language=en}}</ref>

It gets at some of the more ephemeral qualities of music that written words can't begin to touch".<ref name="Wired" />

When asked about the merits of Fantano's reviews, veteran music critic [[Robert Christgau]] said in 2019:
<blockquote>[Fantano] seems to have arrived at a plausible brand of 21st-century rockcrit taste that runs toward what I'll call dark [[Progressive rock|prog]] [...] Nowhere near as insensible to [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]]/[[Contemporary R&B|r&b]] as dark proggers tend to be, but note that very few female artists crack his top 10s, which in 2018 was really missing the action. Fantano seems to have figured out a way to make some kind of living by disseminating his own criticism in the online age.<ref>{{cite web|last=Christgau|first=Robert|author-link=Robert Christgau|date=January 15, 2019|title=Xgau Sez|url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/xgausez.php?d=2019-01-15|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211122430/https://www.robertchristgau.com/xgausez.php?d=2019-01-15|archive-date=February 11, 2021|access-date=August 12, 2021|website=Robertchristgau.com}}</ref></blockquote>
In his 2019 book ''[[Perfect Sound Whatever]]'', comedian [[James Acaster]] called Fantano's best albums of 2016 list "a real music fan's Top 50" and said of Fantano: "Perhaps more than anybody else, he appreciates how the reviewer's role has changed since the internet became a thing [...] The job of a reviewer used to be telling people what's worth their money but now it's telling people what's worth their time."<ref name=":1" /> In September 2020, ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' culture correspondent Joe Coscarelli described Fantano as "probably the most popular music critic left standing". According to Coscarelli, Fantano has successfully brought an "old art to a new medium" and has revitalized the record review format for a younger generation of music consumers.<ref name="whomatters" />
