He's right to an extent. There's some people who act like there's a gun pointed to their head and they're forced to watch every time the wiggers have a camera turned on. If you're a wigger hater this stream was obviously something you never should have turned on.

Go watch a movie or read a book or anything else other than something that actively pisses you off and makes you feel miserable.

"WOW THE WIGGERS AREN'T ADDRESSING THE CRITICISM, FUCKING TELLING"
The issue is Jet spends more time trying to talk him and Fishtank up more than actually addressing anything of value. It's another "get famous for free house" retort that outs Jet as retarded.

Fun reminder that they did a mass unban to try to bring people back this season and Jet is a ban-happy/block-happy sperg.

This is basically true though? Every single fish that didn't have a shitty personality and even some that did, who actually seriously give content creation a shot for more than 3 months are sitting at like 50-100 viewers which is far higher than minimum wage and all have instagrams with decent follow counts.
So if you have any kind of work ethic going on fishtank is effectively (niche internet)fame and fortune for free.

You can count the fish/freeloaders that can subsist off of Fishtank fame on 1 hand. Even then I think Burt is the only one truly getting by due to the exposure and he had his shit together beforehand which, if he's to be believed, raked in more money than he makes now.

The last time I checked, Josie has about 100 channel members, so $250/month for her, and makes $100-200 a stream. Let's say she makes $600 a week from streaming, which is generous, she's making $2650 a month as a content creator. I don't know Burt's earnings so can't chime in but Josie doesn't even make enough to comfortably live on her own in her own city and she's possibly the most successful case of "success" from the show. After her it's a huge drop to the next rung.
 
Luke is probably the most successful but not because of a streamer career Jet seems to think fishtank gives to people. He just got an actual job from Sam.

It was a stupid statement on Jet's part for a variety of reasons.

1) Most of these people didn't get famous at all. Even the super popular retard guys like Jon and Jimmy typically only get low double digit views on their streams. The girls like Letty, Josie, Tayleigh, and Binx do better but its still usually just a few dedicated paypigs that pull them along. I don't think any of them make enough to survive if they didn't have someone else pulling them along.

2) It wasn't "for free" in almost all of their cases. All of them took tons of shit and made the wiggers hundreds of thousands of dollars when they got peanuts in return. You can't tell me people like Letty, TJ, Tayleigh, Bashir, James Drake, etc got a free ride.

3) If it wasn't for Sam's celebrity and money behind it Fishtank itself would have been just as shitty as stuff like Sardine Tin and American Dude Lodge. Jet himself basically got famous for free just because he was Sam's assistant.
 
What i don't get is why Jet constantly has a need to defend himself.
Because he’s a foster kid whose ego is hurt. He was on instagram live bitching “we don’t care about your subscription boohoo $10” as if we forgot about him begging us to stay subbed last week. I know Sam is not exactly a smart business man but I wonder how he feels about Jet sperging out like that
 
Luke is probably the most successful but not because of a streamer career Jet seems to think fishtank gives to people. He just got an actual job from Sam.
Well Luke was the de-facto S3 winner since he became G's protégé.

Also Jet is wording it like a retard but he's right, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have produced one of the better seasons in Tank history only to have to see spergs constantly replyguy you about not redoing tired bits like Frank and Fatty for the Nth time.

This is a big one. Jet is getting rich from people saying nigger and faggot while they basically ruin their future employment prospects for at best a few hundred people watching their stream and maybe a chance to come back until Jet doesn't like them anymore.

I'll copy this here since we took the autism to sneedchat.
Fishtank has opened doors for, Tay, Letty, Bingo bongo, Sylvia, Jon, Fatty, Frank, TJ, Jimmy, Binx, Mizzy, Alex B, Luke, Jobe, Angelina, Bashir, Beth, Fucking Antara, Laura, Blane, Vimp, Dumbgay and Landon
This isn't counting people that at one point had an audience and squandered it like Direnc, Shinji etc.

And those are just the people that directly benefited from the opportunity FT gave them not counting people that made money from FT itself.
Fishtank isn't going to guarantee you make money and live comfy in perpetuity but it will guarantee that if you are a creative person interested in that kind of career you have a jumping off point and will get eyeballs on your work.
It's not Jets fault that most of these people's idea of content is looking dead eyed at the screen waiting for TTS.

It's up to the individuals themselves to actually make something interested worth paying attention to, most people just aren't built for anything other than the wage cage im afraid.

The thing is the way he talks about it versus the reality are two different things. Usually whenever people talk about escaping the wave slave lifestyle they also mean while making a respectable wage. You may no longer be a wage slave but now you make slightly more than minimum wage and have to pander to on of the worst fanbases in the world who will now have direct influence on your income. You may not be “famous” as a janitor or working at a donut shop but the money will be similar and have a lot less risk of just drying up overnight. He is a modern freak show host acting like he is some sort of NEET savior.

Yeah but reality is open for everyone to see before the apply.

I don't think you have to pander nearly as hard as people make it seem, Josie isn't heiling and pouring milk on herself daily. When these people leave the tank they have an audience no matter what, its up to them what they want to make of it. If Landon left the tank and started streaming Sim Drifting or something 24/7 and was really passionate about it then people would pay attention for the first few weeks and then its up to him to make it interesting.

You may not be “famous” as a janitor or working at a donut shop but the money will be similar and have a lot less risk of just drying up overnight.
This is just describing any kind of small business though, yeah you trade stability for a potentially infinite(compared to waging) income.
