  • 1 Star — Absolute disaster. Unwatchable, boring, production fucked it up bad, the fish were lame

    Votes: 58 7.4%

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

    Votes: 91 11.7%

  • 3 Stars — Average. Solid entertainment in spots, some good chaos and crashouts, but nothing special

    Votes: 177 22.7%

  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 408 52.2%

  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

For food all they really need to do is get a meals on wheels catering type service that delivers food every day. Im sure America has them??
It really would not impact the budget at all and may actually end up cheaper because its a lot less random than just take away at random times and refilling the fridge with slop every few days just to throw it all out for a litty prank

I do feel bad for Shinji. I don't think he knew what he was getting himself involved with.

Its obviously much tougher to break into streaming as a dude. plus he somehow came into it without a niche? The reason the fishtank streams were so comfy was that it was chat asking him questions and him responding. if you think you can do that even weekly you'll be surprised.

the money isn't there. plus apparently asians never heard about the adpocolpyse or all the censorship going on in the west. being a porn reviewer won't make you money either. even if he had as many fans as fishtank itself when he started the number would obviously drop, his content is rather shit compared to everyone else.

Say what you will about Jimmy he has more content than time.
 
I'd like to see a sort of "family dinner" mechanic, get everyone around a big table once a day to eat a good meal, and give them assigned seats. Production gets to gently guide interaction, the fish get fed, and everyone knows some real blowout fights can happen at the dinner table. It would also be a good time to lay out any new rules or information, maybe give a quick summary of how things are going at a set time so we have a reason to tune in on a schedule every day.

Something else that might be nice is if they take the fish out before the show starts and film them shopping for snacks. It would give production a chance to give them tips for being on camera and putting on a show, and guarantee they like the stuff in the lootboxes. Edit it down and release it, it'll humanize the fish quickly and encourage paypigs to buy them treats they show enthusiasm for.

Out of all the fish streams the only one I'd actually watch is Schizo Radio. Very sad about the fate of that stream. Vance has a unique sense of humor and he was really talented at doing those prank calls. It was always a good thing to put on the background and often it would have me laughing out loud. I think if he did the streams at a normal time they would have done okay, but still nowhere near as well as Josie's. Miss that show. Out of all the fish he's probably the only one that is consistently capable of being funny intentionally and definitely the most talented. No hate to josie though she's funny in her own way and I get the appeal of her streams it's just not for me.

If it were any other show It would be great info, this is fishtank though so if it were good advice it would be wasted because only the meek win this game.

As far as pure content goes, if the casting agency has the basic skill needed to weed out most of the Fishtank fans, the new S3 fish should be none the wiser, minimizing the amount of people who'd be playing the meek game. There's probably a bigger chance they'll treat it like Survivor or some other reality TV show, probably to the wiggers' delight considering they kept pushing the retarded "you're not treating this like a game enough, you need to strategize!!" spiel.
 
I completely by accident found this fishtank fan while watching true crime videos and lol. I feel like this image speaks for itself.

Is there a reason why members of season 2's cast expected to be internet famous when really only Josie got a decent streaming career from season 1? Like they should have known, right?

It's puzzling. Jet emphasized that the show can be a springboard for an e-career on the show itself, I'm sure he stressed this in private as well. One of the many "Why aren't you doing things?" lectures, he referenced Josie and said she had over "six figures" in her bank account due to the show, which isn't true by any measure.

They were Fishtank fans, of course they're a little retarded. It doesn't help that Sam and crew push the idea that Fishtank is a great opportunity to start a lucrative streaming career. The change in popularity the Fish experience once they get off the show is a type of exponential decay. They'll pull in a thousand viewers their first stream, two weeks later they'll have 20% left if they're lucky and consistent. Josie is absolutely an exception to the rule. Even she wouldn't be making bank if not for a couple whales.

To my recollection only Shinji felt he could do the streaming thing seriously while in the tank because TTS kept gassing him up about his podcast hours at the bar. The rest of the cast did not talk about it and just fell into it organically after the fact. Jimmy and Brian outright say they just do it for fun and to chill chat sessions with whatever fans show up. Tayleigh seems to have been caught entirely flatfooted by her success which still brings her to tears, she seemed resigned to the notion she was going to do a small livestream or two to announce crochet comissions and then disappear off the internet again. Trish just likes chatting and recording stuff she is doing and Taylor just gained a nice audience while the show was airing solely from just chatting and playing poker games. I'm pretty sure all of the fish are statisically regarded as successful streamers solely because they're almost all above 20+ viewers each and they actually get donations from viewers. Streaming as a career/industry is real feast or famine stuff and getting over that initial hurdle of going from 0 -> 1 viewer and then to 10 or further beyond is excruitiatingly difficult.

Shinji followed up that Tweet that he meant it as an expectation for himself, but that shit is really dramatic and he needs to stop before he scares off the hoes (donors). I am sure people already hesitate because $1000 of donos got whisked up by Youtube because of his bank/Paypal, and I doubt people want to trust Crash as a middleman (and Shinji shouldn't either).

beyond the whole "they're technically successful" is the fact that outside of the asian they all do it for fun. if there wasn't a single dime coming from streaming they'd still do it. This is the fun thing where people who aren't normally internet types get into it and find out how much they enjoy it.
