Wtf is this!!! Jesus Sam is deranged
 
It would be interesting to go over every statement Sam has made on podcasts and the recent grifting shows that directly go against Fishtank in some way. there has been a lot It is just scattered around. I personally haven't been collecting it all.
Season 2 was full of variants on this;

we all know Sam is a hypocrite, but its whatever at this point. its just funny that the guy behind Fishtank and creating Frank Hassle, whose content is just harassing strangers until they snap then posting it online for people to laugh at, is taking this stance. and if you pointed it out to him he probably wouldnt even be able to justify it, he'd do that thing where he smugly and sarcastically halfway agrees with you then goes right back to what he was saying anyway. it is what it is though, i dont expect him or any of production to be good, logically consistent people lol.
 
season five (if it happens) will not be live i can see it now
The smarter move would be getting out of their general location. RI is tiny and they're unlikely to get away with anything in the state. Massachusetts is arguably even less friendly and expensive; I doubt Delaware would be much better. If they bite the bullet on a bit of travel they could get somewhere in Cowtown NY/PA for half the price that has a lot more going for it.
  • Cheap enough they could get a several acre "buffer" that would cover multiple angles. Neighbors are further away and less likely to even notice in order to complain. It's less likely to be immediately doxed because it could potentially not even be visible from street view.
  • A lot of these places are damn near broke. Spending a bit locally will go way further towards engendering some good will.
  • Way easier to find something in an unincorporated area meaning they're only beholden to the county/state.
  • You could fairly easily roll savings into any needed infrastructure for streaming. It might be $25k+ to run symmetrical gigabit but when you're saving $100k+ who the fuck cares?
 
I wonder how many times he had sex with Ellie's mom in front of Ellie! Inquiring minds would like to know - maybe someone should ask him directly!
I don't believe it for a second. It's a poor-me-gimme-sympathy version of middle school boys bragging about seeing their neighbor naked, bet she is the most boring person in the world IRL and just wants to seem more interesting for the internet audience.

How are they going to doordash McDondalds to the middle of nowhere though?

I'm naive enough to just take a woman claiming child sex abuse at her word and investigate further to see if its true

The irony being that Sam has a kid with a Japanese hafu himself.
 
I will never understand the logic of people who come to this thread just to tell us "Hey guys I don't watch Fishtank but here's my take on why the show failed!" like nigga did you think people here would care? Utterly bizarre. Reminds me of how every single time Bossman Jack's thread is featured people come to it and complain about him being featured like don't click the thread if you aren't interested. Don't post. We don't want you shitting the thread up.
 
Reflecting on the season, for the time we had it, there are certain things I wish they'd done differently, but I was fairly pleased overall. I thought the cast was a bunch of duds, but as they got more comfortable with each other, I came to like each and every one of those retards, in their own way. I know people didn't really care much for Dan or Ellie, but they had their own subtle moments.

If I had to single out any one particular thing that I think production needs to think about, it's the level of obfuscation and gaslighting that goes on around the structure of the show. Only a chaos agent like Freddy thrives in that environment. Direnc and Aryeh, who were both game to do pretty much any challenge, routinely started crashing out as it became apparent to them that there really weren't any rules in place. I'm not saying they should drop the gaslighting and other shenanigans, they're Fishtank DNA. But Direnc correctly pointed out that with no semblance of structure whatsoever and an anything goes environment, it's pretty demoralizing for the broader scope of the show and unmotivating for the more intense challenges. This season's cell was absolutely wild, but it's hard to want to endure something like that if someone can just steal your money while you're sleeping, and you have absolutely no idea whether you'll be paid whatsoever in the first place.

"You can steal fishbucks" was a bad idea. "You can shove people out of the house" was a bad idea. Having said that, these bad ideas generated good content, but I think unless they dial it back a bit, in the greater scope of the show, I don't think I could deal with 4 weeks of Aryeh and Direnc (somewhat rightfully) bitching about the rules and not wanting to participate.
Every season the crew has to prod every single contestant who stays more than a week like cattle to get them motivated at some point. You cannot stay 100% on for 42 days 24/7. It ebbs and flows. It's been entertaining as fuck and why you are watching it and posting about it. The shitting on contestants, calling them nontent and hating on them, is ironically the content they provide—and you filthy pretend-I'm-not-a-paypig whales love it. Not every character can be, nor should be, Freddy.

The backseat directing going on isn't surprising for a group of retards who have never done anything. If you want BigBrother, consider watching BigBrother. If you want FearFactor, consider watching FearFactor. If you want FishTank, consider watching FishTank. If you're God's gift to the world, direct your own show and post it for free so I can shit on it.

If you the audience haven't figured out "someone winning 50k" isn't the point of FishTank, you're watching the wrong show (and go back to watching the mainstream slop). If that's why season 3 "failed," you're going to continue to remain felted as long as the show runs. Peak FishTank content is "elimination chocolate," which is 100% counter to your entire Direnc fangirling. Direnc crashing out and quitting in week 2 is a tragedy for simps, but kino for FishTank viewers. Direnc isn't carrying shit this season and can easily be replaced by a more entertaining freeload when she crashes out.

anytime its posted on Twitter/Youtube outside of its normal circle, you have pompous retards proclaiming how great they are for not indulging in that "slop". or the "i love Sam Hyde, but Fishtank is GARBAGE unlike World Peace which is BEAUTIFUL ART!" people. like no shit we know its a retarded show, but its funny and entertaining. these niggas probably only watched a few clips at best. and even if they watched more than that and still hate it, they couldnt be more obnoxious about it. you're not some great high IQ thinker who deserves praise because you dont enjoy a stupid internet reality show that makes people laugh.

it really is the bell curve meme. low IQs will find the retardation funny and clap or not care, midwits will seethe over how its brain rot social decaying unartistic satanic slop etc etc, and the bright people will find the retardation funny and clap or not care.

You're not allowed to point out Sam's moments of hypocrisy and nonsense on here - you'll hurt Noble Redditor's feelings and have him sperging at you.

An over decade long phenomenon.

I'm not a fan of the people that think that the wiggers paying for the permits will solve all their problems. It will help a lot but their main problem is hate watchers calling the local police saying that they're doing the square hut inside the house so the show is still going to get shut down for a bit while the cops sweep the property or the local city council getting sick of hearing about them and suddenly become extremely efficient at their job and managing to send an inspector the same day to the house to shut it down.

There are plenty of more rural areas they could move too I still have no idea why they wont do that other than maybe it might be more sketchy for a contestant that doesn't know about fishtank when you bring them to a house in the middle of nowhere. I honestly don't think they would even need to be that far out they could probably go to any town or even city that has a handful of larger properties or properties with high fencing and use that. The only reason I can possibly think of would be that they are using houses they already owned or Jet cant be too far from a vape shop.
 
If you the audience haven't figured out "someone winning 50k" isn't the point of FishTank, you're watching the wrong show

Enlightened viewer, if you haven't figured out that winning 50k absolutely is the point for a majority of the contestants, you're retarded. I'm not "Direnc fangirling", I'm saying they need to strike a balance between gaslights and an actual contest structure. You can't sustain a 6 week production on elimination chocolate. The only people willing to do this shit for free are the subhumans on Streamstars and the clout goblin cast of fucking American Dude Lodge.
