23.9% here is confusing just ignore it. most of this pie is Season 1 fan, watching live (red) or clips (yellow)
Peoples perception is being asked about here, a lot of people think Season 2 drove new people in but the other results say otherwise.
You misread yellow because it includes so many things. It means learning of the show via the S1 episodes with S2 being their first live season, this lines up with what I've always suspected, that S1 and S2 were where the bulk of the fanbase arrived from. But this query is also extremely biased towards the most hardcore cohort of fans who are around in the off-season, this is why I focused entirely on the tweets/4chan during the time the seasons actually aired and then checked to see if the accounts were active in prior seasons. Far as I've been able to determine, the audience is about 20-25k large, 1% of it sticks around and chats during the offseason and 10% chats on Twitter when its live.

The frequency of chatter on Twitter is a different beast entirely since Jet specifically asked people to use #BB27 as a hashtag for S3 chatter. The scraping was difficult for S1 and S2 compared to BG/BT/S3 and I suspect a lot of accounts were suspended or deleted since S1/S2 (Sam Hyde fans lol) so S3 literally towers over it.

There are several posters who were here for S1 and the start of S2 and I haven't seen ITT since though they're still active on the forum.
They were the lucky ones. The Fishtank fans who have remained since season one like myself are glorified heroin addicts at this point, always seeking out our next fix despite the misery that inevitably plagues us from our addiction.
 
Head moderator "mints" who face revealed during the investor stream 2 has started an extremely cringe IG account: https://www.instagram.com/mints_fishtank_moderator/
He posts about his "mod" life: like deleting clans where he got held hostage by war toys or force renaming other users.

He also fiddled with item XP rewards, basically devaluing established XP farms and making many crafted versions less valuable than their individual parts... but it prompted Jet to intervene and giving some teases on that front:

jet: we’ve been working on new items. I have like 200 stored away 3D modeled. They aren’t inside joke references to the show they’re like an actual loot table for a game
jet: We could have better items but the inside joke items that reference the show would have to go
jet: In saying we can replace all items in the game with items for a future project. Cross platform item vault
jet: can’t really go into it
jet: [...] and we all understand that most items may be gutted soon. Entirely new loot table that will be evergreen. Crafting that makes sense
jet: in other words, you will be rugged in the future to replace the whole system with something that works better
jet: There’s gonna be another thing soon. Another place you can use your items. Your FTL inventory will be items in another thing.. shared inventory. A lot of the old shit will go
jet: but items will be usable for more than just trading
jet: It’s not happening soon soon
[...]
jet: I’m really obsessed with making something cool and fun for you guys to enjoy I truly love you guys. We’re doing something high effort and items will eventually change

Not sure if that is related to the BG game or something else.
 
All I know is that I got Stockholm'd into sticking with S2, and part of the reason is sneedchat. I'm not even sure why I was excited for Bloodgames, when I was so shocked from the S2 end? But I'm glad I stuck it out, I guess.
glorified heroin addicts
I don't know what fishtank did to me, but it's the best white noise for me to focus when I'm working.

No other YouTube videos or streams come close, except maybe SeGREGated, because he did different things all during the course of the day. Daytime was lounging, playing Spyro, and the afternoons and nights were drinking and rambunctiousness.

If they keep fucking things up I think eventually I will stop watching but I'm not about to give an ultimatum or timetable because of the addictive FOMO nature of watching the show. Or maybe I'll never stop. Fishtank has me feeling all Neptunian. Sometimes I even feel Goranian.

I'm definitely not above quitting during a season, I stopped watching S2 live at some point near the end for good, but quitting Fishtank forever, I don't know how badly Jet has to fuck things up or for how long for me to commit to that.

real

We're here, forever. Until Goran fucks up so bad and we stop to watch out of principle. Or if it gets too boring.
 
Unrelated, but I think @attractive_pneumonia 's audience stagnation theory can be seen in the results of AB's recent survey. ( take it here if you like, you can also see results after )
Season 3 sisters, it isn't looking good...

Especially since a lot of season 3 fans seem to be Burt fans. I didn't catch much of 3 live but recently I've been watching recaps of it and I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with his mannerisms.
 
Apparently some police reports from S3 have surfaced, here they are in no particular order.

A concern troll had called the police to have a welfare check on Burt because Jet, dressed as red shark, had poured yogurt on him.

Brandon had his fag boyfriend file a police report claiming that Zipp! has meth in it. If only.

Someone had swatted the house with a murder suicide bait.

Apparently CK had made an appearance at the S3 house as well

Sam once again almost totally ruining the show (he kinda did ruin the last third of S3) by flipping out and picking the worst option possible to deal with a creepy fish. He literally could have just asked Brandon to leave instead he ruined the whole house vibes and then got Brandon and his boyfriend to accuse them of all types of shit. So stupid man. Nothing learned from Simmons.

I understand what you mean, it definitely fucked up the narrative. However...

Kicking Brandon out was one of the funniest bits of the season and I go back and watch it pretty frequently. Sam played into it for me.

 
I still wish they would have kept Brandon on for a day or so and escalated the fuckery and humiliation before kicking him.
The chat was blood thirsty at that point so I think they just decided to appease the fans in the moment. Watching Burt run between Brandon and Sam while stammering and whimpering will always be one of the top moments of s3 for me.
