At first there was no real interest in making money from the event. Things quickly changed once most of the people involved started doing their math, realizing those measly cents they get from one viewer, when multiplied by hundreds, over the course of several hours, would land them a small fortune. Immediately they started convincing barrelroll of what such a great idea that would be. I brought up that that would be illegal, which they laughed off as a non-issue because all they had to do to avoid it was lying.

I really don’t know why I didn’t just get along with it. I could’ve money a couple hundred dollars, maybe even a thousand if barrel was generous, but I didn’t. I guess I just didn’t want to exploit people. That I thought 4chan was better than that, that it didn’t deserve it. As /sp/ or /r9k/ would so cleverly put it, I am a total beta.

The last conversation I took part in was all about how they could get the most amount of viewers. This was when I learned the hard way that ironic shitposting is still shitposting, because I remember rather well that I said something to the likes of “just spamm them xDDD”. To which they all agreed it was a genius idea. They also came to the conclusion they would be adding a lot more boards to the competition, obviously so they could get more and more viewers. At that moment I was so sickened I started talking shit. Yeah, let’s do that. Let’s spam all the boards, let’s meme spout so much a ninth-grader would be jealous. Let’s act like total retards because so as long as it’s not revealed a big chunk of the collaborative team came straight from reddit, it’s awwight! We want to make money, right? Fuck quality.
