Also saying he doesn't understand the value of the Internet? It's a bit insulting imo, again I agree maybe the management team should step up their game.

I haven't said he has no interest in a proper fan community. I said that Meat considers internet a platform of negativity. Which is a complete different thing.
That Meat doesn't value the digital era isn't insulting but an observation. Best example is the HiaH release. When he was questioned about the early Aussie release he compared it to the Bat2 release and how well that worked for him. We had a whole discussion about how the World is so much different from 1992. But Meat believed in a same kind of strategy as 1992. Same with the value of YouTube. Meat seems blind to the benefit of such a platform and only points out the negativity about it.
If anything it's a shame for him and his fans that he doesn't invest more in this World Wide Oportunity. Especially as big networks doesn't seem to have any interest in what he has to offer. Meat isn't the A-list artist we want him to be. Even that latest BBC documentary, people cheerde about, focussed on the old Meat and hardly gave any insight in today's Meat Loaf or his music.
So Meat could use this internet thing to his advantage. And that starts with his own website. And when that looks like crap... well... If Meat invested the same amount of energy into positive on-line revenue as he does on hunting down people/fan websites/youtube videos that he dislikes, he would certainly benefit from it.
