🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

[Nottafed]

There’s gotta be a way to one and done block the clan sounds with filters in Brave, it’d probably make the site less resource intensive on laptops too not having to play back sounds over and over

Violent monkey script. Makes the whole experience 100x better.

I have no problem paying ten dollars to watch the show, honestly. I’m not sure why people expect it to be free. As a side note, why is this thread suddenly full of /pol/ posters?

I don't pay out of principle now.

Sincerely yours,
S1 Season Pass holder and enjoyer

A polaroid of Claire and Abi from Bitchtank sold to somebody for $565. Why would anyone spend that amount of money for some stupid picture is beyond me.

So this actually confirms they weren't lying about having to leave the house near the end of the season for the RV trip, what are they going to do when this inevitably happens again.

So this actually confirms they weren't lying about having to leave the house near the end of the season for the RV trip, what are they going to do when this inevitably happens again.

No they 100% left because the season was shot to shit. FH2 was a failure because It nuked Simbal right out of the gate and they panicked because Burt and Luke were immediately on the chop block afterwards, hence them trying to force the next vote onto the gaggle of women while they pruned vipers like Breezy. Payton was going home because she knew she was boring and wasn't going to win leaving the giant house with just Burt, Binx, Luke and Fatty. Its probably the worst situation that the show could possibly in, there is just no interactions possible that are worth watching for 10 days straight. The RV was shit but remaining in the house was a no-go.

The cops just made the threat because they're annoyed, most beat cops would recognize the run time is literally less than 10 days by that point and realize the paperwork isn't worth it and its even noted in the report that the filming was due to be over. The "disorderly house/business" threat in the paperwork is just a "Cover your own ass" memo by the cop if it somehow became a bigger issue later on. When dealing with reporting stuff you always have to keep in mind how it will be interpreted when shit hits the fan and the cop is doing that for his own safety.

Worst case scenario is that they are going to take the time off at 10PM and leave director mode stuck on one camera (or switching between cameras on a timer) and they will continue operating director mode at 10AM.

This is what they have been doing even before it was paywalled and I see no reason it will change.

 

[Simon Dean]

10 dollars to have them cut the cameras when a poll doesn't turn out the way Jet wants it to. No thanks.

Jets getting my hard earned ten smackers while I sip on n ice cold zipp. Got a case in the garage fridge waiting for s4. I hope Jet tops his usual outfits. I can't wait to see what horrors he puts on next.

You think Sam or any of the wiggers thought that? You think, even if they did consider that a possibility, they'd take the chance and risk what could be effectively a swatting that kills the show? As far as they were concerned at the time, and as far as any reasonable person would be concerned in that situation as it was happening, one more call = cops come up and shut everything down. What's the solution to that? Screech at your viewers to "DON'T. CALL. ANYBODY?" Pinkie promise the cops there won't be any more problems, honest, and hope for the best? That's too risky, they had no way of knowing whether or not another call from some retarded fan, or Brandon, would come. They judged the risk of staying there too high based on the information they had at the time.

It's easy to look at it in hindsight and talk about what you totally would have done if you were not only in their shoes but also had all the outside-the-show knowledge and distance you have now, but at the time staying in the house was, as far as anyone reasonable could assume, a gamble at best. IMO they should have just ended the show early, as awful as the RV trip was, but at the same time there is a sunk cost fallacy and a "show must go on" mentality that most if not all of production surely had at that point, and that's why they did the RV trip. If only they could read minds and know the cops were just wagging their fingers at them (which nobody knows even to this day, it's just assumptions), but they couldn't.

Funnily enough, ALL of this could have been avoided if only they had properly pre-screened Brandon instead of seeing a campy gay guy for 10 seconds, thinking that was funny, hitting the galaxy gas and flying him in.

I wonder if the local PD has the show streaming in the office during the seasons.

S3 was their 5th season, they're fully aware of the swatting threat and they're doing Bloodgames 2 in the back yard again which will risk more swatting calls at that exact location and same police department. The punishment for being declared a nuisance property is a fine which is absolutely nothing compared to the amount of income they get from the show. Every single bar in the US deals with this issue with unruly customers and the police make the threat all the time to them. There is a risk if they were leasing the house because the landlord can get compelled to evict them, but since Fishtank owns the properties outright they have no leg to stand on in that space and evicting people from a property is only done by a Judge if he gets proof that its a drug den.

Edit:
Jet himself said the season was fucked, and Cowboy in a later interview squashed there being any issues with mold, zoning or other nonsense because that happens every season. People buy into the gaslighting stuff too much and refuse to believe Jet when he is being honest, there is absolutely nothing untruthful what he said in this video on the RV trip, the week before they left was bad and the future wasn't going to be any better in the house. The season was staggered bad by losing Alex, the cleaning arc put it to its knees since it just put the fish on ice for 5 days then FH2 failing was the deathblow.

 

[Bingo Enjoyer]

They knew exactly who he was

 

[Raw Onion Enjoyer]

I'll just watch on restream sites like usual cause their website sucks ass with all the stupid sound effects

And it takes more CPU to view a stream there than some games I play.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

More police report leaks, this time regarding Alex B and his ogress.

Jacqueline called a welfare check in bad faith because she could not contact him, knowing full well he didn't have access to his phone.


She proceeded to call a second welfare check after the Binx incident. Funny that she was the one to call the police after that.


This police report is after Connor and Alex B walked out. Alex in this report claims he was forced to participate in violent challenges.


Someone that refused to be a contestant called the police because she believed it was a human trafficking operation lmao


Credit for the police reports goes to x.com/SlackerBluePod. Not sure if they're the ones who obtained them directly or if they were simply posting them to X. Credit where credit is due however.

But was it paid for?
You can rack up the bid price without paying.

Watching Live it was so clear that they were just out of steam at that point. I don't doubt there may have been outside issues, but that is always the case with all seasons anyway.

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 )


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.

There is an obvious sample bias here and I dont know how to really account for that. May be that we can just say that most hardcore viewers are Season 1, maybe they have substantial viewership that is more casual that can not be measured.

What's mind-blowing is that after S3 where they hit peak viewer records by opening up the site, they immediately pivoted to locking everything down to require a season pass again.

I was linked the Fishtank URL during S1 by a friend but because it was gated by requiring an account (and I didn't know about the free restreams at the time or even much about the show at all) I simply closed the site and didn't think twice about it - despite eventually turning into a hardcore viewer in latter seasons. I can't imagine how many people were/are in the same boat and will be put off by the cams being disabled.

From my interactions with people in other chats who watched S1, they were put off of Fishtank by S2 because of all the fuck ups.

 

[BullfrogBill]

Yep that's how I felt about s2 coming off of s1, it didn't help that I was extremely hyped for s2 and it had such a great start that fizzled out so quickly. I had zero hope for Bloodgames after s2 but it had Jon and Letty returning and crossing over with Jimmy so I figured I'd at least check it out and it blew me away unexpectedly. Unfortunately this gave me faith that the wiggers were gonna pull something out of their ass with s3 that was going to be awesome so I had a very positive feeling about the show from Bloodgames until s3 and I was mostly right, I thought s3 was great up until Famous House 2.0 and the RV trip started. That mixed with the dumb shit Jet says, constantly learning all the wrong lessons from Fishtank has me back to doomer mode again for the most part. If s4 sucks ass like s2 then Bloodgames 2 will be the last hope for the show for me. And if Bloodgames 2 sucks ass as well then Fishtank is over imo.

 

[S.C.U.D.]

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.
