people were talking about this season's "theme"
Pretty sure it's supposed to be brainrot content house and the big jobs were all content-creation themed. You have the streamer room, the fitness influencer room, and then goo factory - all jobs centered around different influencer/brainrot subcultures.
I do think you're right that it was supposed to devolve into room-wars(for example: camp A figures out they can just farm cash on enSlave and start camping the computers, camp B wants get in to play xbox and chat with fans, war ensues) but it fell flat way before market collapse, when the fish decided to just like share essentials. James Drake has had like $200 this whole time and Landon's consistently saved too even though he was getting low-paying jobs.
The economy goes to shit, people just start stealing shit and sharing it for izzat-points, the retarded government refuses to adapt to these conditions by enforcing the law, and just start giving the 'tards food, everyone becomes unemployed and raids the factory, riots break out, the government responds by bringing in the most annoying bitches you've ever seen, the people hate it and hole up in their bedrooms and get into conspiracy theories, inceldom, and alcoholism, the government responds by yelling at the people funding them, a gay nigger trashes the final challenge because he thinks there's desirable objects in the walls.
It's a post-collapse show and the only fitting ending at this point would be a survivalist grid-down SHTF challenge where Jet and Ben put on riot gear and hunt the fish with paintball guns, like the swamp olympics but with a failed state theme.
