🐟 Fishtank Sam Hyde's Fishtank.live General - Jet Neptune's Little House of Horrors

[Norstein Bekkler]

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.

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.

Damn, reading that OP about the square hut is crazy. I'm surprised more of those people haven't died.

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?

This is such a logical notion that I simultaneously believe: (1) they must have thought about this and discovered some sort of restriction or insurmountable obstacle we aren't considering; (2) they are dumb enough that they have honestly not thought of this.

Alex never wanted to be the villain. He was always the protagonist. The monkey king, etc. Freddy gives no fucks whatsoever once he's got enough beers in him. Alex couldn't handle a mild hassling. Freddy dumped a bucket of piss in a room full of people, whipped his dick out, stood there while an Australian crackhead vomited on him, etc. Alex is a trustfund baby that happened to become a white trash drug addict. Freddy seems like he was raised in the shit and thrives in it.

As a proud member of the MKDF (monkey king defense force) I would like to correct some of your revisionist history and spread the light of the eternal Monkey King, Alex B.

When comparing Alex and Freddy, it’s important to take into account how long they were on the show and the mental strain they endured. By the time Alex was pushed out, he had his family brought onto the show, endured the reveal of the famous house gaslight (a burden for all FH fish) and was targeted disproportionately by Frank who he perceived as monkey rapist and pedophile wild Randy. Many fish have left for lighter targeting

While I cannot deny Freddy’s piss play being entertaining, let’s not forget how Alex and Connor engaged in a back and forth battle of pudding in each others clothes, an unprecedented move for being a normie unfamiliar with the show.

Alex wasn’t an antagonist, that is true, but he didn’t need to be when simbal existed as the perfect heel that constantly betrayed allies. Alex was, like you said a protagonist. And a chaotic one at that, from which content flowed like water from an infinite spring.

I don’t even think Freddy is an antagonist. Every fish in s4 lacks the trait of innocence. They know what the show is, and they’re all assholes as a result. Freddy is more of a chaotic force than a villain. I’ll give Freddy more credit because he was unaware, and he’s probably the best fish of the season if we go by content output alone, but Alex B is on another level.

You could put him in any situation and he’d turn things up to eleven. Give him one line in a scene and he adds five minutes of drug addled improv in which he means every word. Every fish bounced off of him perfectly, he created more indirect content from his presence and attitude than arguably Jon or Cole in their respective seasons.

Freddy is a good fish, but Alex is a prime contender in the GOAT argument. Please refrain from spreading anymore heresy, thank you.

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.

Its this + they'd likely lose access to Sam if they moved too far out of RI/CT range. Most of the S3 cast thought they were being trafficked the first night the gaslight got ended due to how remote the S3 house was in their eyes, it would severely limit their casting choices and the extent of gaslighting they can do.

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.

Brother, nobody is asking for them to do anything super high effort. They have been literally just running the same mindless bits and challenges since S1. Most of the best fishtank moments have been just the contestants interacting with TTS with no involvement from the wigger crew at all. In fact, a lot of the time when the wiggers do get involved with the TTS they fuck that up too. Remember Jet boiling the frog with Burt way too early by dropping the nigga word on him through TTS? He was totally bought into it being an AI chatbot before that and 100% convinced it was just people in the basement typing messages after.

This is such a logical notion that I simultaneously believe: (1) they must have thought about this and discovered some sort of restriction or insurmountable obstacle we aren't considering; (2) they are dumb enough that they have honestly not thought of this.

There's a few issues right out of the gate but mostly they just don't want to do it.

• The towns that they'd be setting up in are just as/if not more fickle than the towns they are already in. Couple years back someone tried to set up an AirBnB in the small "village" my parents live in (only 20 minutes away from a small city but is somehow independent) and it was a shitfit. If they want a county that isn't going to cause shit, they need to get approved to do this prior to moving and shit can always change after 1 bad month.
• Transporting people. They are near airports with readily accessible flights from most other parts of the globe. If they move, flying contestants in becomes 3-5x longer on the last leg. This is especially a problem when it comes to freeloaders. It also becomes an issue when it comes to people walking/eliminations. Even just attracting people who aren't fans/familiar with the show becomes an issue because who the fuck is going to go to rural bumfuck for an internet show - people who want to get raped?
• The people fishtank needs to be good aren't the people you want in your town (even temporarily). The people that might be attracted to visit your town because it's the fishtank town aren't people you want to bring in.

They will not have a house outside of the new England area. Fishtank is barely even a priority for Sam and he has too many other projects and things going to leave for that long.

 

[NylonPython]

Where can I see these?

They're scattered through the thread.
I remember someone had the reported incomes of their holding company before they changed the name but I can't find it.
I did find Reddit breaking down the lowball income off stats.

User immediate_Bug_3437 from the subreddit did the math and it looks like Fish Tank made just under $1.3 million in profits. TTS alone brought in $755k.

And their livestreaming provider saying that they made 3 mil on Bloodgames.

It will never work; the big brother house is not a house it's a set on the CBS lot. doing a show in a real house is never going to work, It's over.

To many people trying to police the world and or people trying to make it a meme

If Ice Poseidon can do the things he does with no issues, Fishtank can live on.

They just need to stop being antagonistic to the local government and stop being cheap asses and get the permits and insurance they need.

Rumors on Twitter that the doxer was staying with his girlfriend two houses down from the S2 house. Because of the way Twitter works I have irretrievably lost the posts themselves, but they may have been coming from the doxxer himself on an alt account.

ice poseidons hunger games was on a ranch in the middle of nowhere texas
and i think the cops did show up there at one point, so that doesnt solve things

people keep talking about "permits" but whatre you even talking about?
they shouldnt need filming permits - they're filming on their own property

the house was condemned or whatever over a code violation. it has nothing to do with permits.

edit: jim

One could say that was a flop, but that was due to Paul's incompetence rather than the location.

It's gay little legalese rules cuckery stuff like this why I see nobody tries anything fun or creative anymore. Sure, these rules make sense in the context of a club with hundreds of people, but to come in with cops and condemnation orders because you've got a few autists locked up on Ring doorbell cameras streaming to the internet is insane.

Lot of businesses have to deal with legal issues regarding safety. Sam and Jet don't get an exception just because they're doing a streamer show. It's why reality tv shows will routinely hire a lawyer, at least for a consultation, to ensure they're in compliance with the law or with requirements from their insurance company to avoid voiding agreements.

Doubt they were really lacking the cash to do this stuff more professionally so not sure why they'd act greedy enough to skip it.

I have 20 acres in BFE Arizona with water and power, I should buy a shitty 4bd 2 bath trailer to drop on it and try to rent it to the wiggers

The people that might be attracted to visit your town because it's the fishtank town aren't people you want to bring in.

I don't think that one is true.
While there are a fair amount of unemployed incels living in mountains of trash in the fanbase, they don't have the budget for tourism.
The kind of person that would actually be able to visit a Fishtank House is going to have money and be willing to spend it on things they find interesting.
That'd be a great customer for a small town shopping district.

They're not going to leave new england cuh. Jet doesn't have a social life or anything else keeping him back but Sam does. Fish tank is barely a priority for him. He's not going to move across the United States for 3 months just for that project.
