  • 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: 176 22.7%
  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 406 52.3%
  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

The two most successful fish from what i recall were Josie until recently and Trish when she actually went full into it. Even with Burt's talent he can't break over 500 people most streams. Same goes for freeloaders like greg.
Trish and Mizzy both had good cracks at it but yeah it all eventually falls apart.

Letty is easily the most successful out of all of them since she's firmly embedded into CX now. Willed herself into the IP Battle Royale and then just became a favourite in that crowd after that, from what I understand. Jon was meant to be the only FT rep on that show and he just pissed everyone off.
 
It's definitely this. But also, how fucking retarded and reddit minded do you have to be to out yourself for attention so readily after 5 years? It's not like she had to announce to anyone but Bashir privately who she is, but her coochie was so in control she had to immediately announce who she was to try and gain his attention.

Hilarious also coming from someone who was casting judgment on others for being "weird."

Don't goon. Don't tap the glass. But also don't be fucking retarded.
the chance of getting that throbbing sunni cock was too much for her to handle.
 
Standard Fishtank fall off.
It's really interesting how someone can be a "fan favorite" of the show and only retain like a hundred people after leaving. Bingobongo are kind of experiencing this right now. Even while still on the fishtank site/house they only have a couple hundred people watching.

It makes me question Jet's idea of the twins making art while living in the house. He seems to think they're a major draw and can entertain everyone by doing very little. Their actual audience is pretty small on their own and I don't think that many more people would watch them over any other fishtank arrivals.

I think the number of people that only care about the fish because they're on fishtank proper, even if they're a "fan favorite", is vastly underestimated.

Fishtank fans in general I dont believe really are streaming fans, we're just fans of Fishtank and it happens to be a stream. That said, having a built in audience of even a couple hundred puts someone in the 1% of streaming and sets them up for easy success, maybe not as a full time streamer but at least as a solid side gig. Blane will do fine, I think, he's interesting enough but is still awkward and clearly thinks hes going to miss the hypetrain if he doesnt grind right out of the gate.

it's because none of these people are actually all that interesting, put them in the tank and mess with them sure, but individually they're meh

This is it for me, I don't really care about the former fish enough to go out of my way to keep up with them unless they're doing something FT related. It's not a whole lot different than normal reality show "stars" tbh, most of them go back to being nobodies pretty much.

to be honest blane is entertaining on his own, he interacts with chat often and theres no dead air during his streams, we'll see how it turns out later

Twins just need to all-in on the art, they'd get steady work. Jet was right in telling them YT/Streaming was a bust. Tayleigh still gets business on her crochet stuff I believe, it's just always gonna be an eternal thing they can put in their back pocket even if its only a little money on the side.
 
Twins have abandoned there wigs , if they where smart they would get a wheelchair and push bingo around in it and say they both got cancer at the same time and only can afford the chemo for bongo and any donations to save bingos life are appreciated.

They can do the "chat while drawing" stuff and take commissions from the streams. They need a way to handle commissions better, though. Tayleigh could help them there and seems willing.

Blane struck me as someone who was a goofball before they went on the show.

Maybe I’m just jaded by his Never Die Living performance though.
 
The biggest issue with fish streams is that they aren't actually doing anything they are interested in. It's why I like Jimmy's streams after s2 the most out of any fish. Watching him look through old home movie vhs tapes was cool.
Stream GTA/Keizaal RP, drawing, making music, sim drifting, idk. Don't just sit there and react to chat, that's something you do if you have like 500+ viewers constantly and is either charismatic enough or goon bait enough to sustain

I'm a fan of old-school IRL, so watching the twins draw or whatever wouldn't really be interesting to me, but watching 10-15 people in a house would be. A party stream would be something I'm into, a camping stream wouldn't since it's been done a million times before and is never good.
Nowadays though there's no platform that supports "real" IRL and the few people trying to do it are absolute niggers that fly too close to the sun and burn out too fast while also thinking that IRL is just Arab Andy-maxxing or languishing in an RV.

I'd maybe consider watching them or bashir stream if they're doing interesting stuff - would definitely watch JDrake or Landon do IRL. I tune into Burt sometimes when he has Frank on but it's usually hellish retarded content and I don't last long.
 
(Just want to preface this is not sweeping, defending, or justifying Meiwaku in anyway, they deserve what they get)

I think what happened to Meiwaku (in that, what drove her to self immolate on pyre that is Bashir) is a good testament showing what depression/social isolation causes.
Mei was a very profilic poster here (4-6 times per day at least, not counting time spent in chats/dms since they are not logged in the post history), combine that with her mentioning in the chat with Bashir "I had two friends die recently this year, I have been searching for God and Meaning...", I think paints a pretty big picture of their mental state. I see someone depressed and having an existential crisis (Friends died = faced with mortality -> Looking for "Meaning" and God) who was probably looking for a way out. In comes fishtank where you are more or less watching the fish/freeloaders 24/7 for 30 days more or less. This allows someone with an aforementioned issue at hand mentally, a perfect chance to para-socially latch onto someone.

Bashir would often talk about things that tangentially relate to what Mei was interested in. So its not hard to see why someone with all these issues, with a parasocial relationship forming, to decide she would rather burn her kiwifarms and everything else for a chance with "the one" (who she also said "helped her find God".
I think Mei probably assumed no one here gave two fucks enough to phone book her and peek into her fucked up world (lolicon shit), but she pissed so many people off igniting the self immolation for Bashir that people did just. Now, assuming the Bashir thing does not work (Which there was never more than a 1-5% chance of it happening to begin with), she has nothing left since she burned everything else for it.

I would not be shocked to see her back on an alt (assuming she is not already) or engaging in pretty self destructive behaviors IRL to cope with what she has wraught. But no one here will care (rightfully so!) because she deserves it, All the funnier that she would pivot to God and all in this when engaging with it. For anyone not in the chat before this all broke down into chaos, she would mention often turning to God, seeking traditional values due to them being interesting, etc etc. Galatians 6:7 "Do not be decieved; God is not Mocked, for you reap whatever you sow".

TLDR: Touch Grass, Go to Therapy, and Go to Church. And yes I am retarded.

Edit: Because I am a loser and hate seeing people self immolate instead of actually just not being retarded and helping themselves. Shoot me a DM (if you are not a pedophile lolicon enjoyer that is LOL) if you need someone to chat with. Don't burn yourself down just for the sake of a lost simp cause!

This is why I support Jet's stated vision for the off season, because theres a non-zero chance I tune into someones random Kick stream, but if someones in one of the rooms of the house or IRL streaming on the site, I will more than likely tune in.

In fact, F it: Give us Friendtank people what we really want and in the offseason let former fish/new people live in the house and do their respective bits in each room, then let them interact in normal ways throughout the house. Listening to a Bashir sermon only for the Twins to come in and ask questions would be PREMIUM second monitor content.

I respect the carepost but I think she was just horny for the BBC (Big Bashir Caliphate)
