I think the nigger spam concern is overblown, there would be a lot of it at first but at 150$ a pop I think even the people sending it would burn out quick and look for more witty things to send. The high cost to tts should be it's only real filter, beyond that anything legal should fly.

It's not illegal to use Microsoft Sam to read off holohoax infographs but it would absolutely get the stream shoah'd by Youtube or Twitch. This is what people crave because the rest of the internet is so fake & gay now. People also associate Candyman Goldberg or whatever he's calling himself now with edgy humor so it's unavoidable.

Because at its heart the idea of Twitch viewers using bits tokens to torture millennial & genZ eccentrics in a house until only one remains sounds entertaining. You would guarantee participation & viewership. But producers also realize what Sam didn't & recognize that people on the internet are too sadistic for both television & any mainstream stream platform. Sam already had to hoot like an ape at his viewers because he knew anonymous TTS directly translates to nigger-word spam. It's a textbook Catch-22. The concept relies on an escalation of reality television insanity yet it can't do that because legal waivers & stream site policies would start shutting things down the moment it gets too intense.
tl;dr - it's a successful idea but it literally can't succeed. People crave an unfiltered stream because of repressive internet rules but repressive internet rules will kill an unfiltered stream.

Man, if you don't think TV executives would be willing to pull some shit like this, you're delusional. They WOULD be worried about somebody breaking FCC rules or putting them in a situation that would leave them legally vulnerable, but if you think they wouldn't be actively malicious when it means higher viewership numbers, you are dead wrong.
There was a Japanese dude who signed up for a show called "A Life of Prizes" where he was sequestered in an apartment and had to earn some amount equivalent amount of Yen in prizes from write in sweepstakes in order to win. It took him a long time, but once he finished it he got a day of freedom in Korea, and then was forced to go through the same shit in a foreign country in order to pay his way back home.
If you think they draw the line at being openly sadistic, you are being a moron. They absolutely would do just this if they could get away with this type of shit without the potential legal issues.
 
Damiel is going to have a rough time sleeping tonight

Game theory:

The chili delivery was part of staging Damiel to be less obvious of a plant for the rest of the cast. The stream cut right before things got spicy and Damiel didn’t seem too stressed about the bed.
 
Idk how late I am for noticing this but I'm glad they fixed that shit with the cameras being out of sync every time they cut to a different one. That was driving me crazy.

You're right but I'm not implying television kikes have some moral fiber. What I'm saying is the concept Fishtank promised could not exist because of policies, waivers & laws. Someone would figure out how to use TTS to break the speakers & broadcast a constant wail that causes irreparable ear damage, the contestants would sue & the studio would lose money. Or some bitcoin millionaire uses TTS to keep saying nigger & the show accrues too many fines to stay on the air. The possibilities for failure outweigh those for success.

Once they're back on their own site I don't think they're accountable to Youtube/Twitch ToS. The filters they implemented for the main stream is solely out of their own sensibilities for one reason or another.

it's because payment processors are involved. sam needs his $$$ to keep that $10k a day going.

It's both to not scare the contestants off and because you can still probably get shut down by Google (as they use Firebase) if someone like Liz Dong Gone pulls some strings. Hyde has many enemies.

Edit: And as Sneedifarms said, payment processors.

I feel like there's a chance for Monero or some other crypto to shine here. Coinbase etc. would be worthless but not a local wallet. Make people pay with that & your torture chamber might be less infeasible.

And it would also get 1% of the original earnings because nobody actually wants to use crypto to pay. Convenience tips the balance here.

yeshua has talked about how people hate using crypto to donate to the farms because of how inconvenient it is. it would probably be the exact same situation with fishtank.
 
Yeah I'm leaning towards Damiel being a last minute substitute and not a plant now. I'd bet it's a situation where he's only signing on for a week, maybe two max, and getting paid for it.

The chaos was a tub of chili? My first thought is laxatives, but that seems to far for how they are running this production. My guess, we find out who the plant is cause they have willingly taken laxatives and have diarrhea publicly, in an attempt to make a placebo effect in all the other fish.
