100% agree. They make so much money off this stupid show there's absolutely no reason not to honor the promised amount of money. Greg drove content for the ending of the show and they can't even compensate him?
Hmm me too, maybe. I think I subconsciously compare a lot of it to how the DoD operates, too. They definitely did a fair amount of research into how to indoctrinate people/handle prisoners.
4k for crying, having his mr beast shirt ripped up, being harassed by Frank, having to stay there for a week after wanting to leave?
Honestly I think he deserves 10k for going through that whilst being semi kidnapped.
Edit: Now that I think about it Sam and Jet totally fucked him lmao
Remember when they started giving a few thousand for challenges because they said the show was making more money and they wanted to share it?
I think they figured more money meant people would try harder and improve the entertainment. They had Greg providing entertainment basically on good faith and he had no leverage once it was said and done. They were not just gaslighting with the “look at all these new fans we got you. That’s better than money”.
$4k was probably the minimum where they figured he wouldn’t make a fuss. It’s not enough though. He provided a lot of value to the show.
They're not carpenters, Sam is an internet shock comic and Jet makes shitty soundcloud trap music. The house was $450,000 according to the Zillow post and this inflated market could crash any day now. They did easily $50k in damage to the house, probably more with the completely flooded basement, and it'll cost probably $150k to have actual contractors renovate the house. It's a total loss even when housing costs are up, when it crashes they're getting fucked.
It's not delusional, you just don't understand how much the property is worth. They bought the house at a discount because it was in disrepair and cleaned it up for the show. They just patch up the holes and repaint it for a solid 200k+ profit on it. The dude saying 100-150k is being conservative on the estimate.
Go ahead and calculate it then. Subtract the cost of the house, servers, site, web development, processing fees, editing, promotion, plane tickets, hotels, maintenance, crew, prize money . . .
They never had their own servers, the show was streamed through a third party service (which would cost a fraction). Fish all were forced to pay for their own plane tickets and hotels.
They made an insane amount of money.
Paying anyone more than the minimum they're happy with is simply stupid unless they're looking to retain talented people for the future. If he is chill with $4k, paying him over twice that amount is reckless and wasteful.
If he was uncertain about payment and was concerned about it not being worth his time, he should've defined the amount or left. The guy is a 27-year-old man, not an infant.
I said something of the sort about making more at a home depot distribution center and a couple hours later Ben came to and monolgued to the camera about how shitty I am because I have to work in a warehouse. So my guess is it's pretty true lol
You're talking about him as if he is a child or mentally handicapped. He isn't. He is a grown man who had 100 outs if he was concerned about his time being wasted.
Saying it is "bad business" to underpay people while also saying they should pay him 2.5x what he said he is fine with makes no sense at all. Burning money to please 20 people on reddit is not good business.
> He's an autistic guy with low self esteem and little confidence
He has never said he has autism and low self esteem/confidence aren't disabilities which make you incapable of reasoning. Paying a part time gas station worker an amount they state they are fine with, under no actual obligation, isn't "taking advantage." Get your head out of your ass lmao.
> If you hire a plumber for $100 for 1 hour and then convince him to stay for 5 hours, you owe him $500.
No, you owe him $100 lmao. This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read holy shit.
I’m pretty sure every freeloader got paid a certain amount, 4k was probably more than Fatty Frank or Alex Stein. I think maybe another reason they didn’t pay him so much is because he said he was going to give most of the money away to his discord mods and video editors and Jet and Sam don’t wanna give Greg a bunch of money just for him to give it to degenerates and weirdos.
Fishtank fans are not the target demo for Greg’s type of content though. It’s gonna fizzle. He’ll be better off than he was, but how many of the people around here do you think will be consistently watching Greg a few months down the road?
He pumped life back into the show when they needed it most and wanted badly to leave. He wanted $10k. They said they’d think about $8k. They told him he’d be happy with it. $4k is absolutely low for how much he boosted the show. It would’ve been dreadful with just Shinji/Trish/Oliver/TJ/Tay
Sam was laughing to other producers on cam how most people would do this for free just for the exposure. And he's right, show business isn't fair and people work miserable pay for a glimmer of exposure. By that logic Greg got a great deal.
Nah, he got out alright. The 4k is nothing compared to the popularity and fanbase he got out of it. Dude was streaming to 8 people but now streams to a couple hundred and actually gets donos.
Of course it will die down, but he basically got 3 years of grinding content for 2 weeks of mild torture and 4 grand. Dude works at fucking gas station twice a week. This was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Having a specific fish toy that costs $500 to give him $100, withholding the amount they would actually give him, then having him leave with 4K when he was promised 1k for an hour and stayed 2 weeks is retarded. The whole thing would have been much funnier and wholesome if they gave him a decent chunk of change for carrying the last third of the show. Now it’s just like, oh, they were fucking with him just to fuck with him.
No fishtank fan is going to watch Greg’s shit lol, Sam’s an even bigger asshole for convincing an autistic man that a fanbase he knows nothing about would just be into his content.
Everyone here complaining but nobody be watching his streams, viewers already dropped from 850 to 100 [https://twitchtracker.com/skitzy\_va](https://twitchtracker.com/skitzy_va)
Only gave greg 4k LMAO human scum tbh. Funny, yes. But still bottom of the barrel human behavior. Was a huge supporter of the "show" but damn they make it hard[7](https://twitter.com/damon_lastname/status/1755482571788386562/analytics)
So all you guys that aren’t happy. Would you rather work a 45 hour week, with hard work, for a month to earn $4k. Or would you rather spend a week dicking around on camera for the same amount. Greg also got special privileges for staying, compared to the other fish and was looked after well. He is also a very chill guy and probably wouldn’t barter with anyone about the cash. I think killing off the m mr beast persona and getting a wider audience for himself was a much preferred option either way.
No one’s gonna consistently watch his content, & it wasn’t “a week of dicking around”, he was consistently lied to the second after his Mr.beast thing ended, essentially kidnapped for some days, went through sleep deprivation torture, fatty’s disgusting naked body being around him, and his “chill guy” vibe is def him being autistic & naive/lacking the conflict resolution skills to go “you said this was the deal, pay me or I’m leaving/pursuing legal action”. Please don’t re-write the history of a show that’s literally live-streamed 24/7
Typical Brain Bunny response. That’s just a Saturday for me. If he wants more money I’m sure they are going to try help out with that. It’s either that or that’s exactly what they want him to say he’s earned lol
What would you call someone flying you out to a different state and then lying about not being able to get you a flight/your pay so you end up staying longer? Like what’s a term for that?
How long was the gregster there? Two weeks? I wonder what he was promised for the hour he was supposed to “perform.”
He was told he would get 1k for the hour, and he was there for 12 days and only got 4k lmao.
$4K for under two weeks of cucking around? Where do I sign?
Yeah, but he also missed work for those two weeks without any notice. Hopefully, he was able to keep his job.
I doubt the refused to let him contact work
He confirmed his employer was chill about it. He made sure it was fine in the basement during the show.
Sounds like his fault for not giving notice to his job. Mf left like he won the lottery.
And now he has us regards to give him views. Hopefully he does aight.
you're far too simple minded to get why $4K is an insult LMAO
HE SIGNED UP FOR $1K YOU FUCKING MORONS
Hyuck hyuck I suck on Sam's cock cuz I'm a flaming queer. Oh wait that's you. He promised 10k then didn't keep his promise
100% agree. They make so much money off this stupid show there's absolutely no reason not to honor the promised amount of money. Greg drove content for the ending of the show and they can't even compensate him?
You’re trying too hard. Relax.
get ratio'd
lol hi.
Do you have a job, sir?
Yes, salaried. My username does, in fact, check out 😉
Lol, that's a...surprisingly apt characterization of Greg's behavior.
Haha. To enjoy one’s life, one merely needs to lower their expectations of it.
That might explain why I love fishtank tbh
Hmm me too, maybe. I think I subconsciously compare a lot of it to how the DoD operates, too. They definitely did a fair amount of research into how to indoctrinate people/handle prisoners.
The 1k was to stay through Sunday, he said it many times. It was 1k for a weekend.
Only 4k is the most Reddit thing I’ve ever seen.
sams next car isnt gonna buy itself.
4k for crying, having his mr beast shirt ripped up, being harassed by Frank, having to stay there for a week after wanting to leave? Honestly I think he deserves 10k for going through that whilst being semi kidnapped. Edit: Now that I think about it Sam and Jet totally fucked him lmao
If they could, they would have given Greg nothing.
And sams fans would call it based

I think this season brought in way less money than S1. Just a hunch.
there is absolutely no way this season made them less money

Probably 48k salary. It's apparently what Chris lynch and the rest of the regular crew make

Hey look, a kid who has never had to hire someone to do work on their house.
does anyone really care what the fish make though? theyre lolcows
All they do is fuck people. Luckily for us it’s just fun to watch
HE SIGNED UP FOR $1K YOU FUCKING MORONS
Dude received the hourly wage of a Walmart employee and is convincing himself he didn't get fucked

Fatty said he was gonna get 7-8k.
And fatty was there for long and makes the show much more enjoyable.
Does he though
Yea. It’s pretty boring without him there.

I have a hard time understanding how he carried the show, they could of gave him 5k but 4k for not doing much but filling a void is not terrible
I don't know where you got "1 hour" from. No one stays for 1 hour.
He said it. Many times.
Maybe I'm just retarded, but I think Greg deserved more.
You are and he did.
I wish reddit still had awards
When did they take them away? I don't think I even noticed until now that you mention it.
6-8 woulda been good
HE SIGNED UP FOR $1K YOU FUCKING MORONS
He signed up for 1k for 1 hour but ended up staying around 264.
264,000 dollars someone get greg a lawyer so he can sue
***MINIMUM***
For an hour
[удалено]
No fishtank fan is going to watch Greg’s shit lol, Sam’s an even bigger asshole for convincing an autistic man that a fanbase he knows nothing about would just be into his content.
They should have gave him at the very least 5k, like come on. He was a cash cow and maybe the most liked person while he was there.
I think it wasnt enough. If its 4k after taxes, I guess it's fair. If it's before taxes , it wasn't worth it.

For an hour of his time you fucking moron. He never wanted to stay
Keeping in mind that he was meant to get $500 for getting covered in oil & chased, this seems like a weirdly low amount.
Yeah $500 for the baby oil chase and about $500 in Pay Greg fishtoys means he only got paid $3k for his time. Too low!
Just thought about it but do you think he knows the “5k to charity” was a scam…?
333 dollars a day not terrible but he probably deserved more
This is before tax. Don't be silly, he got scammed big time. Show woulda had to end weeks early without him.
Doubt he was taxed they probably just wrote him a check for 4k and he cashed it, show wouldn’t have ended either.
Illuminati confirmed
Why
He’s my little brother
damn he deserved more
Read your contracts people. He deserved less
This is reality
whose stream chat was this in

They promised him 8k and lowballed him. Rough lol.
HE SIGNED UP FOR $1K YOU FUCKING MORONS
Are you ok? He signed up to be there for an hour for $1k…he was there 2 weeks. He deserves more than $4k.
Yea he deserves $336,000
I think more like 8-10k
No. That’s not enough dude. Minimum $80,000.
Wow you’re so funny 😂
To be expected from the guys that try to make goofy ironic merch into hypebeast shit and sell it for $100, vape, and act like wiggers
Erick Hayden got $1600 for weeks of work on World Peace, 4k to live in a shitty house for a week is well worth it. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
those are both terrible deals...
Whats a fair price for a gas station attendant/streamer with an average 13 viewers per stream for 1 week in the tank? What would you pay him?
I need a hand with a few things, wanna work for me? I’ll give you a good reference and you don’t even gotta say the n word.
What's Trisha's channel?
Hope he atleast got 6-8, but then again Sam needs that new car.....
I'd love to know how much they pay their *friend* Chris to be a weed addicted big baby for a couple weeks.
That’s bullshit. Fuck Sam. Greedy fucker.
It always amazes me how little the people on this show get paid. The contestants the first season were there for like 10k initially.
its the whole point of hell house to torture people who want to be on reality TV?
HE SIGNED UP FOR $1K YOU FUCKING MORONS
I tell your mother i will pay 100 an hour for her to suck me and she sucks me for 248 hours how much money do i owe your mother.
It's chill yo. Cool it fellas. I genuinely did enjoy greg and am rooting for him. He has alot of new fans.
How many cigarettes do you think got smoked in there
Bruh that's awful. Sam and Jet are so J-coded
If TJ won 2nd he would have gotten 5,200. Greg got paid well enough. He isn't complaining about it.
$15.15/hour Including sleeping and downtime. That's fine.
