I think it speaks volumes that post-Tank, you have Letty guesting on an MDE member's podcast in person, and you have Jon shitting out nonsense tweets and boring Jontent. IMO Letty gels with the overall feel of Charls' stuff very well, too. A slower, less aggressive, more schizo environment. I would be surprised if she doesn't show up on Season 2 of Fishtank in some capacity since she seems to get along with the crew (and also is probably dating one of them)
For real. I was skimming that video that
@Sicko Hunter posted out of curiosity and it really brings to mind how often Sam said he didn't like her on the show and how that led the other fish to say they don't like her, she smells, she's the next to go, etc. and yet of anyone she's the most likely to keep getting second and third chances to work with MDE itself, not just Fishtank. Her appearance could have been smoother on The Palace, but I think it's more that Erick and Charls wanted to let her talk about herself and she doesn't seem to want to do that at all.
I dunno, is it time for another re-rank?
1. Vance (up from #3) New album just dropped this last weekend, he says it's outperforming what he expected. We'll take his word that he has been cast on this potential TV show and is writing for it. His streams do not bleed viewers anymore. He is the pig, slowly building his brick house.
2. Josie (down from #1) Bleeding views, still. It could be said to be unfair, she's making more money per week bleeding views than Vance is making while he's doing three different things, but his resume builders are starting to have more value than her minimum wage streaming job. Her appearances with Alex Stein give, eh, what the fuck will you be in a year?
3. Sylvia (down from #2) Album and tour in the books, she mentioned something on X about opening for Ariel Pink which I didn't screenshot and I'm worried I might've dreamed. But if that was real, I'd say she's above Josie right now (again, resume builders).
4. Jon (down from #3) He's getting fewer and fewer views on his podcasts, which did start out very strong but are now starting to gutter out. He's lost his streaming momentum and I don't think he has Tobuscus in the books anymore, it's been too long since he mentioned it. He also relies on an unsustainably large number of fans to help him with his content and isn't learning how to do what they do to slowly take the wheel for himself. The Sylvia meltdown has lost him his connection to Froggy and most of the cast.
5. Letty (up from #6) Working on a rap album with Taxcin, WP2 is still in the tunnel. Stream tonight with Charls and Erick shows she still has their number. I think she's still waffling but if they keep pushing her in the right direction, she'll catch on (unlike Damiel, see below)
6. Damiel (down from #5) He seemed to be busting his ass between getting evicted from his exes' until he did an open mic at Skankfest, but now he's back to treating Chris Lynch like his ex and hurting his pockets I guess. There were rumors of big things mentioned on HK2 but either they're not happening or they're too big to be talked about. But the dude hasn't gotten a haircut since the show ended so I don't get the feeling he's busy.
7. Mauro (up from #
I don't know why, but Mauro has been making little vlogs for the last couple weeks. They're not interesting, but he's actually getting half as many views as Jon has, and he's learning a little bit about editing as he goes. So credit to him, it's more than nothing.
8. Simmons (down from #7) He's stopped grinding singing guides on Insta and is now just reposting memes.
