Here are links for the post in question and a post referenced by OP that has some more details.Fishtank made an estimated 1.2 million dollars with a budget of 250k and pulled tens of thousands of live viewers who watched for hours on end. For a niche alternative comedy group like MDE it was easily the most profitable and successful thing they ever did. It also brought in people who might not be interested or like MDE's typical comedy and made them fans. It reached outside of their core audience. I would hardly call a million dollars in profit a "very mild success"

They clearly made enough to warrant doing it again and even talked about setting a $100,000 grand prize but I think that was to maintain interest and even still nothing seems set in stone.
