  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 419 51.5%

There's zero chance Fishtank would ever be on TV. Zoomer NEETs with weird ideas and nonexistent social skills don't interest normie Gen Xers and Millenials. The last time Sam was on TV he got like $65k yearly compared to whatever insane amount they're pulling in with the streams and Fishtank. TV would be a downgrade in every way and his audience doesn't have cable, what would be the point?
Because at its heart the idea of Twitch viewers using bits tokens to torture millennial & genZ eccentrics in a house until only one remains sounds entertaining. You would guarantee participation & viewership. But producers also realize what Sam didn't & recognize that people on the internet are too sadistic for both television & any mainstream stream platform. Sam already had to hoot like an ape at his viewers because he knew anonymous TTS directly translates to nigger-word spam. It's a textbook Catch-22. The concept relies on an escalation of reality television insanity yet it can't do that because legal waivers & stream site policies would start shutting things down the moment it gets too intense.
tl;dr - it's a successful idea but it literally can't succeed. People crave an unfiltered stream because of repressive internet rules but repressive internet rules will kill an unfiltered stream.
 
Damiel was called by Jet Red Shark, this was a big fuck-up.

EDIT: And now everyone knows they were up on YouTube the whole time. Also Damiel's bed is now confiscated. Have fun sleeping with Jon, brother.
 
Well that's two times now that Damiel has had to get dragged to the basement for fucking up
 
Damiels: "Oh fuck, not again."

What was he pulled down for the first time? Showing his ass?

Jon now trying to convince Mauro that there is actual shit in the chili.

I think the nigger spam concern is overblown, there would be a lot of it at first but at 150$ a pop I think even the people sending it would burn out quick and look for more witty things to send. The high cost to tts should be it's only real filter, beyond that anything legal should fly.
 
Each and every one of these people are fucked up under the surface. Can't wait for them to break down as the weeks go on.

Except Mauro. He's just chilling.
There has to be some deep Mauro lore, right? Or is he actually the plant given that he is unaware of any online degeneracy?

Problem is that some of the people in the house are stock zoomers, not imageboard/gossip forum dwellers. Nigger spam could actually get them to say "fuck this shit" and leave. You've already seen how people acted with the dox (immediately blew their load in a very unfunny way), unfiltered TTS would be the same.

You underestimate how retarded and desperate for lulz people all. This show makes terminally online people upset because it shows a bunch of autists making genuine friendships. They’re gonna spam nigger even if it was 300$ because “haha look at how edgy and le funny I am.”
