Like, I honestly have no clue. Is it a steam? A reality show ala Big Brother? A web series? Bum Fights V.2.? Some sort of performance art? All of the above?Is it even real or just scripted?
>>206059600It’s shit
No, yes, yes, kinda, no, no, both
keep it to the /ftl/ threads, buddy
>>206059600I wondering same, it seems they paid threads full of shills as genuine responses stick out like a sore thumb and they in the few.
>>206059600It's basically a prank/parody reality showSam Hyde put a bunch of people in a house thinking they were on "Famous House", basically some Big Brother schlop, but the show has gradually become more insane. They're basically mentally (and sometimes physically) torturing the contestantsOne of the contestants is married. They staged him cheating and brought the wife in. She beat the shit out of him on camera. Shit like that
Reminder:Frank got punched by Alex, Connor, Payton, Symbol and Burt.Stabbed by MizzyAss and ball sweat rubbed in his face by a homosexual schizo.Destroyed by a handful of stairs.
its an internet reality show by sam hyde and his wigger goons 90% of the time nothing is happening but there are some great moments and its fun to talk about it and the contestants with the bros
>>206059600it's astroturfed. Sam Hyde is a grifter and pays people to shill here, nobody sincerely watches it.
>>206059746Why can't they just...leave? What compelled them go there in the first place? The prize can't being that being, seeing how Hyde was broke and out of job like 2 year ago.
>>206059812This is true btw
>>206059840It's a gradual boil. They're increasing the insanity gradually. At first they didn't even know they were streaming 24-7Audience members can pay to have messages read out loud. Initially they were kinda filtered and PG, but at this point they're calling the contestants the most horrible things imaginableThe reason they don't leave is because ultimately, I do actually think it's quite fun. And it does test them and help them grow. It's like shock therapy: Some of the contestants leave and become worse off (especially the guy I mentioned who got beat up by his wife on camera), but some push through the adversity and become stronger. The showrunners don't really hate the contestants, it is... in a fucked up sense, well-meaningAlso, they give the contestants "fishbucks" for mini-challenges, that is worth real money, but they won't get it if they leave
>>206059600>All of the aboveyesa reality show on the face of it, with the gimmick of 24/7 cctv feeds for every room + audience interaction (pay to send plushies/cigarettes/roses to contestants, send uncensored TTS messages or sound effects to rooms, etc) streamed on a custom built website with a community ecosystem, with a lot of leeway for violence and vulgarity, occasional recruiting of local bums (usually semi-unsuspecting MDE fans or fully unsuspecting craigslist z-list hopefuls hired on deceptive contracts), with the production team (consisting of irony-poisoned and internet-poisoned musicians and comedians) playing characters and doing ironic comedy bits to fuck with the audience and test their and the audience's patience, openly shitting on the faces of the people who fund it with pointless donation rewards like putting colored balls in rooms. sam hyde's 4chan fanbase and the shittiness of the site chat & social media makes the /tv/ thread the only decent place to talk about it
>>206059975>fuck with the audiencecontestants*
>>206059737>>206059812>paid threads full of shills >literally every post is calling production incompetent retards who are ruining their own showchoose one
>>206059975will also add in light of >>206060072 point that /ftl/ is majority ranging from disgruntled to hatewatcher who watch the show on pirate streamsthere's an unclear amount of unspoken crossover between production team and /ftl/ and they sometimes steal our ideas for lack of planning or more rarely post among us, but other than the 1 or 2 autistic dedicated spammers that every general gets (and probably occasional contestant-obsessed discord raids), there's no sign of actual coordinated astroturfing or shilling
Slop for incel gooners and chaos/misery lovers.I'd watch if the camera/audio set up wasnt so much ASS.
Not only is the general full of paid shills but the /tv/ mods have been paid off to allow it on this board aswell even though everyone knows it's completely inorganic and doesn't belong here or anywhere really. It's a joke and shows the state of this board in current year.
the show itself is extremely hit or miss (early s3 aka Famous House was probably the most consistently entertaining the show has ever been), but the associated drama surrounding the cast and production members is pretty addicting. Just last night there was a blow up surrounding one of the cast members getting 2 (admittedly shaky) rape accusations thrown against him by another cast member and an ex
>>206060260>audiodoesnt help that one half the contestant are mumbling retards and the other half are yelling junkies.
>>206059975>>206060255also in light of >>206060260 its highly amoral and often devolves to psychological torture porn with even more-or-less kidnapped normie contestants getting stockholm syndromed into supporting & engaging with the show once they leave, aided by the meager online following they get + sam's charisma + the fact that when you strip away all the suffering and gimmicks, you're getting to live in a massive house with unlimited food and booze for free for a month and get attention / encouragement from TTS
>>206059600It's Big Brother for gen z
>>206060255There are at least 2 generals on tol of the catalog, you fucking retard. Those are paid for. Negative comments are engagement and baked into the show's premise.
>>206059600I only watch for the bug sightings
>>206059600It’s not very organic. Most of it is spam for the owners of the show or spam for the personalities in their show. Apparently several people in it got spammed about fairly regularly before appearing on this show. So it’s all just one nightmarish spamfest of these personalities trying to make money and the show trying to make money.I went to their site last night. The “fish” were lounging around talking about nothing. There is a chat on the site but you cannot even do that unless you pay $60, and that’s for the cheap plan. Those TTS messages you keep hearing? People pay $30 a pop to do that. I hate to sound all “no fun” but /tv/ mods should ban the topic.
>>206062454
>>206059600/ftl/ has been here since April of 2023.
>>206062257>>206062496it is 95% organic. im not trying to be dismissive but have you ever used a general before?
>>206060255did you miss sam's ad here or something
>>206064637did you miss the past 2 years of threads
>>206062733>generalFuck you, cancerous nigger. You're the type of normie faggot ruining this website.
>>206065630the video game generals board was created 12 years ago
>>206064674course not
>>206059840>The prize can't being that being
>>20606273395% organic shilling.
>>206067488Ok fuck it makes sense you think everyone is so good talking 24 hours a day
>>206067974Sam has an entire discord channel that coordinates to keep this shit charade going on here , including planted jannies. It's pathetic.
Sam owns a mod who sweeps it up for him on /tv/ and makes sure those threads stay up even when they clog the 'log. Enjoy your ban for "trolling" or being "off topic"
>>206068424Not surprising. I can’t blame anybody for wanting to grant Sam a pass. He got a raw deal. My friend who also was with AS got a raw deal. But this whole fishtank thing really seems like a pop-up scam and I don’t like how it’s allowed.
fucking general threads are the worst thing on this site. fuck this stupid administration for allowing this especially stupid fucking general to exist.
>>206068585>He got a raw deal.not according to Charls, Sam "have you ever worked for 10 hour straight?!" Hyde self sabotaged himself because he didn't want to end up like Tim Heidecker getting paid 90k a year for the work he was putting in. He's a trust fund nerd.
its a glorified livestream by an eclelebit didn't "blow up," the threads are a dozen bots with passes just spamming. if the threads were actual people the post rate would fluctuate, the post rates don't fluctuate.said eceleb paid 4chan mods to allow the threads here.
I fucking love eceleb garbage!
>>206068739I believe it. Any time I posted even the most innocuous comments in those threads I averaged around 5 (You)s of rapid reply vapid garbage.
>>206060762>It's Big Brother for gen zFor the previous two seasons. Now it's a millennials tank onwards
>>206068947livestreams don't have seasons.
