Piggertits already admitted in a reply that they only covered his traveling expenses, he doesn't make a single dollar, maddaoffact since he's not collecting pity donations on the Killstream, he's losing money.
This is why the desperation meter is off the chart. If this wasn't driven by pure cash infusion, just attention with the hopes for expanding an audience, then let's think about that for a minute.
Who are the type of people that watch content like this? Let's ignore the fact it's literally an El Salvadorian knockoff of fishtank. Is the type of person that watches content like this the "oh wow, this fat Mexican manlet is interesting. I want to watch his show of him watching CNN and talking to Grok so I can donate money"? No. The type of person that watches this is of the "haha look at this fat retard. I'm gonna make fun of him" which turns into whole 'nother issue when they realize Ralph is thinskinned and squeals whenever he's poked and prodded.
The
only way any of this makes sense is if Ralph is finally acknowledging the only way he'll ever draw any interest is by playing the laughing stock. Now, Ralph has always been the laughing stock, but he's never really played into it because he doesn't like being the butt of a joke. Ralph already knew the only way he's been able to make more than $100 on a stream the last few years was by drinking and popping xannies, but he's never intentionally done that to make money. It was just a side-effect of his life being a mess and a demented incentive to never unfuck himself.
So what does this all mean? Hell if I know. I don't think we've ever seen walk into a situation where he knew he was definitely gonna get fucked with before. That's assuming Ralph knew what he was walking into, which is optimistic as all hell TBH, but if he didn't expect shit like this he's more retarded than I thought.
It wouldn't shock me if Ralph has a series of planned relapses next week because of the reality of it all hit Ralph like a ton of bricks. This was arguably his first attempt to venture out of the sektur and prove to himself that he's not some bum. That he's not doomed to watch CNN and talk to Grok for 8+ hours a day, 5+ days a week, for $50-$100 to a fanbase consisting of 10-30 people, for the rest of his miserable existence.
And what happened? A fucking disaster. After getting introduced as a successful American streamer, the contestants figured out he's a pathetic midget retard, and promptly bullied him out of the house within
HOURS. Not days. Not weeks. HOURS. By a group of people who Ralph thought would worship him because he (the perception of him at least) are striving for.
Edit: I'm having a funny schizothought with a 0% chance to happen, but I'd have a really long giggle if Ralph gets charged with assault and thrown into the El Salvador prison.
