Say what you want about the Kardashian/Jenners, but at least their reality show was entertaining and watchable. This show was like watching the most boring people have the most useless conversations
i mean 20 seasons for a reason, hell even now they started all over again 💀
I didn't watch the Kardashians on a regular, but I do remember forgetting to turn the channel when it came on. I never liked them, but I was never bored.
@@aberri79 all of the episode were bad but entertaining, most ppl watch it just to see what they're gonna do next rather than enjoying it. i mean, remember that time kylie dancing on a pole? kim's playboy shoot where kris take a pic of it while saying "you're doing amazing, sweetie" ? it's weird but that's what makes the show successfully
People used to watch the Kardashians because it was about wealthy folks and luxurious lifestyle they cannot afford. Kardashians are not more entertaining, they have more things they can flex about.
When they came out literally everyone was saying the same shit people are saying about Tik tokers.
@@robertat.8817 while i understand your sentiment, the first few seasons were far from glamorous and i think we’re more focused on the family dynamic (lots of scenes in the family’s more “modest” home, the family members were more type cast with bruce as a strict father, khloe as the funny one, kendall and kylie as the two troublemaker kids, etc.) i think that bougie aesthetic was developed later on
Nikita is like that random 25 year old at a college party who can’t let her college-days go
Lmao true. Does she actually have friends her age??
Lmaooooo I think it’s worse cuz these kids are like 18 😆😆😆
this comment is so accurate 😭 we all know someone like that and she definitely has the same energy. literally the awkward older person tagging along to stay relevant
it is really weird but i think it's less that she can't let them go, it's more that she never got to experience them as nikita, so she's trying to do that now
Her actions towards the younger members of the hype house is so cringe too, like these kids are barely 18 and she’s just flirting w them
dude i literally didn’t even know that sienna was supposed to be in it. they did a PHENOMENAL job cutting her out lmao
I didnt even realize how fucked up sienna is, Ive heard of her but i never really cared about her. So when smokeys like theres this video of sienna inapprorpiately touching a boy im like Fuck no she needs to be in jail
right, i honestly didn't even know she was in the hype house to begin with tbh
@@fadalerabrasool3563 literally, and everyone for some reason is shitting on the guy (Jack wright) bc he’s been silent about the issue (a NORMAL response to being saed and having a video of that being leaked to the public) and now he’s finally taking about it and no one believes him and keeps saying he jsut wants clout off her
@@katkay9923 Its so gross how male victims are getting crap more than female victims because we all know if its the other way around jack would be in deep hell the same way as callmecarson did. But can someone plz put that bitchs ass in jail for Sa'ing jack
@@fadalerabrasool3563 they way she still makes videos and is still verified on tiktok
When you mentioned Nikita’s age it really did put it in perspective bc I’m the same age as her and work as a substitute teacher at high schools... I can’t imagine being on a reality tv show when the rest of the cast is the same age as my students. I hope she’d be more mature than them
I also thought it was kind of inappropriate of Nikita to be hanging out with kids this young. It always was really weird to me and now after this how came out, it makes her look even worse honestly! I never liked Nikita though! She's highly immature and stuck up and way to into herself!
My jaw actually dropped when she said how old she was. I truly thought she was closer to my age(I’m 33) and always wondered why she hung out with people so young. I still don’t get it with her being 25 but I guess it’s because she acts just like them so why not ya know?
this reminds me of james charles being close with charli and them always hanging out.... she was literally like 16 ans he was like 21??? that’s a pretty big age gap for that age. like even if they’re both content creators, what the hell else do they have in common? that made me uncomfy bc if a 21 year old wanted to hang out with me when i was 16, i would have thought it was weird.
@@hwoods-kg1jf I found it especially uncomfortable when she kept making weird comments about "where are the cute/hot boys at?" or when she showed up in very revealing and sexual clothing. nothing inherently wrong with either of those but when you consider that she's doing it while being surrounded by minors or people who just became adults it's really off putting...
@@edenp3268 yeah that definitely isn’t cool at all! Nikita is a hypocrite and a narcissist! I’d even go as far as to call her predatory! Thirsting after teenagers? 🤮
i couldn't give a flying flip abt the hype house, i forgot they ever existed but anything for smokey 🤲🏻
I believe in Smokey supremacy 🛐🛐🛐
@@lisabui1031 yes 🛐🛐
Same 😂
Love the pfp 😩
FLYING FLIP 💀💀💀
Netflix recommended this to me and I have never been so offended that the content I consume would ever lead them to think I wanted to watch this. I am, however, a nosey bitch, hence why I'm here to figure out what this show is about without giving them views.
Lmao saaaaame
PLEAASSEEE I would be so offended too lmao
this is the funniest comment ive ever seen. it was recommend to me yesterday as well i cant fathom how they did me so dirty
YES EXACTLY
Precisely 😂
didn’t even know they had a reality show and could’ve gone my whole life without knowing but damn am i ready to see hannah roast it
That’s all I wanted was to watch the roast
ikr! i don't know anything about most of the stuff/people she talks about, but i'm always into Hannah's videos
Same. I'm too old to know or care who any of these people are. Just here for Hannah's opinion on literally anything 💕
I heard about it but I’m only here to see Hannah roast it too 😂❤️
Same
Honestly, I can see why Mia was so resentful. One of the guys even said she was like the mother of the house. I can't imagine living with that many dudes who couldn't figure out how to put a dirty dish in a dishwasher. That situation would be my purgatory. Justice for miaaaaaa!
Honestly same
If she would stop acting like a mother (bitching and complaining at everyone, cleaning up after everyone, and talking to others as if they're below her authority) then she wouldn't be treated as such. Mia was insufferable and negative.
@@jennytailia5324 doesnt Sound Like youve ever lived in a flatshare. Because thats really Not how this works haha. I tried to force a flatmate once to do His Bit of cleaning Up. And ended up caving in, because clearly, He didnt give a Shit. Rats would have started partying in the kitchen before He would have taken Out the Trash or done any dishes.
Everyone tries the "Just Stop cleaning Up method" at one Point, and i have never Met a flatshare where that actually works lol
@@jennytailia5324 grow up kid
@@jennytailia5324 no I would literally fight someone over a dirty place. I had a roommate so dirty she would leave her stuff in the sink and there would be bugs LIVING in the stuff she never washed. And she never took her stuff out of the wash or dryer. Unless you’ve lived with dirty roommates you don’t know the pain. Mia is better than me because I would not clean up after them 😂
I feel like Thomas was trying so hard to NOT be Team 10 (no cut taken, no contracts, just more of a 'friends hanging out' feel) that he kind of shot himself in the foot. If he's really struggling as much as he says in this show, then yes, you need contracts. Having contracts isn't what made Team 10 toxic, it was what was IN those contracts that was the issue.
Yup
It felt like a big slap to the face seeing how these tiktokers attend in parties during the height of the pandemic while hundreds and thousands of people had to self-quarantine for everyone’s safety
I know right? I remember when all of that was happening and it REALLY upset and made me so mad! I did what I was supposed to do and stayed home (even though I wasn't sick. I didn't want to risk it. I only went out for groceries, medication at the pharmacy and doctor's appointments. I haven't gone to any bars, restaurants, concerts, nothing like that) and still don't even though I'm triple vaxxed! I'm not taking any chances! I'm high risk due to health issues I have already! I think I already had it once (before it was announced it was a "thing" in the USA and Trump was dismissing it as "a democratic hoax") and there wasn't any tests made to the public yet but I was sick as hell for almost 2 months so I'm assuming that's what I had. I got it from my boyfriend who was working at a VA hospital (he's a retired disabled veteran who spent 18 years in the military). It still amazes me that people aren't taking this seriously! Blows my mind!
I remember Philip Defranco covering this at the beginning of quarantine and how in an interview about the parties and breaking Covid guidelines Thomas literally made a statement about how “it was their job to entertain people” and they “couldn’t be expected to put their lives on hold.” Like how entitled do you have to be to say something like that? Also like good to know despite managing and being a member of a literal content house none of you are interesting enough on your own and you need 50 other people around you to be slightly entertaining
So agree. There were people who were missing families and losing jobs due to quarantine and those petty kids were just out partying
Especially in LA. They went through a horrible time during Covid, and the influencer transplants were just making it worse.
Would love to hear your thoughts on thirst trap culture: the caution/responsibly of minors and the responsibility of adults and consequences.
It’s very scary for minors. I am worried.
Yes love this idea
I'm scared to ask, but what's thirst trap culture?
@@Ikine557 It’s a type of post on social media that makes you appear desirable to people. Sexy bikini photos, posed selfies, posts simply meant to make you look good. This is so people “thirst” over you and you get more traction. Although, I don’t think it’s really something that’s dangerous, since people have been posting for vanity since social media started.
@@canyonmoretti5026 Oh, got it. Yeah, I can see how that would get dangerous specifically for minors.
Honestly, the whole TikTok content house seems incredibly bad idea inherently. The whole point of a content house is collaboration and having the personalities bounce off of each other, but I don't see how that works for the short form content of TikTok.
definitely agree with this. It seems like the content houses just exist to create an exclusive club of kids with unattainable life styles for their audience to envy.
@@aoifecaetan9832 🎯
i can see it working on certain creative sides of tiktok, like makeup, fashion or the thirfting / ecologically aware communities. but when it's a group of people known for only doing trends or posting themselves looking attractive, there is really not much "collaborating" they can do
You are exactly right
yeah they know no one cares about their personalities they know 10 hot ppl in a video will go viral
I thought Nikita’s little “crush” on vinnie was very cringe worthy because he was obviously quite uncomfortable with that aspect of their friendship, and the age gap alone is just weird af
The first thing I thought when I saw the show was "I can't wait to hear what Smokey Glow has to say" and u did not disappoint
tbh i did not expect her to even make a video on this. but im here for it
Same!! Literally said that to my boyfriend and he was like “what’s Smokey glow” 😂
SAME
Same
I thought the same! When I first saw it o was like I bet that show is TERRIBLE...I bet Hannah will cover it 😂 and she came through lmao!
It INFURIATES me that whenever Nikita gets called out for being racist, problematic, careless about the pandemic or any other thing, she pulls the "I'm trans and that's why you hate me" card. NO, I could barely stand you unknowning you are trans, but now I do hate you for using a whole community in order to "save" your ass from all the shit you do.
No doubt she gets unsolicited and awful comments from transphobes, and clearly that's not cool.
But people dislike for your hideous attitude, so stop hiding behind the trans flag and learn some accountability once and for all.
To be fair a lot of Trans people do that
I'm sure she gets transphobic shit thrown at her, but honestly the only people who would actually care about cultural appropriation and blackfishing are people who are into social justice in the first place, not conservatives or apolitical transphobes lmao
@@bridgettepierce7144 lmao was just about to comment this
Pls do a video about the rise and fall of buzzfeed, the “why I left buzzfeed” videos etc. The absolute chokehold buzzfeed had on society for like 4 years was crazy
Yes!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
PLEASE!!!!
Yeeeeees bumping this!!
If she does she has to mention Watcher.
This is an amazinggggg idea!!
I did not even know she assaulted someone. It makes me sick that people probably brushed this off because the victim is a male.
Her response made it even more repulsive.
It wasn’t brushed off, when women assault a male it’s more likely for her to be held accountable than a man who assaults a woman.
@@katybee3891 That's absolute bullshit lol. Women get off way easier when it comes to sexual assault. Hell, many people are still adamant that a woman can't be a rapist because "there's no penetration involved."
it wasn't brushed off though her career literally ended because of it and like all of tiktok turned against her
@@dunphy9051 GOOD! She doesn't deserve PLATFORM ... SHE DESERVES EVERY LAMBASTING SHE GETS! GOOD RIDDANCE!
I want there to be a show on Netflix called “The Glow Show” where you talk about Netflix’s literally POINTLESS shows and movies trying to cater to millennials and gen z’s😅🥰
I’m so down to produce that show, despite having ABSOLUTELY ZERO BACKGROUND IN TV. That just shows how much I want this to be a reality
Amen to that!😁
When you made the "sounds like the first circle of hell" comment I spit my drink out! 😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard. Thank you for putting yourself through this torture. I don't know who any of these people are but damn..what a ride. 😅
Then we discover it involves dodgeball. Fitting.
same!!! I was having a sip of water and was like 💦 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 it does sound like the first circle of hell
@Cntina gyrl, that is probably a coincidence. Do you know how long it takes to make videos like these? There’s no reasonable way for Smokey to watch Casey’s video, steal the line, and quickly add that to her video and upload it the next day. Where’s the reason ???
@@truefalse934 I see what you’re saying, buttt!! It’s highly coincidental though, don’t ya think?🤔
same i love that comment so much 😭😭😭
My issue with the show was the emphasis on “coming from nothing.” I don’t know much about these kids but the obsession with playing down your middle class upbringing is such a weird and problematic thing to me. I don’t know these kids socioeconomic background but they can’t all have grown up poor, even having a space that is nice enough to film a video in indicates some level of money and class. It’s like growing up with issues injects some character without telling us anything.
Yup yup yup this all the way; I also don’t want to be “that” person but i really have a hard time believing that chase had a hard time fitting in
!!! This
Yessss. Like I know some of the ppl here were actively moving to Hawaii and then moving to LA and “living in their car”. They have parents and homes…
Bless you for having the patience to sit through this nonsense and break it down. I definitely didn't want to subject myself to this kind of pain. Lmao.
same here, i'd lose so many braincells if i put myself through that and i barely have any as it is
i watched it stoned and it was a blast
Why's Nikita such close friends with a bunch of 18/19 year-olds? Sounds like someone's struggling getting friends her own age.
Because people her own age not gonna put up with her bs
Because she is immature and creepy
I’m almost 24 and could never imagine hanging out with people that age. That’s like hanging out with my little sisters friends all the time and as much as I like them they’re not my friends. I don’t relate to them at all. What could any of them have in common??
Because she is mentally 18 and always will be. She couldn't possibly relate to a real world 25 year old.
She was a friend for hire for this show bc they wanted a big name. It’s all about using each other for clout- I doubt they would hang out otherwise
A lot of my hatred for this shows existence is not only because of the problematic nature of the people IN the show but also because it shows the lack of quality and lack of attention to good ideas at Netflix. Netflix is consistently renewing shit shows and creating problematic content just because it gets views. Actual quality shows featuring poc main characters or creative ideas get cancelled and it’s ridiculous.
The fact that as soon as shows introduce lgbt+ characters or has characters come out as such they get cancelled is…. Yikes.
But then they let terrible shows with no depth or interesting plot like this one go on 😭
I'm still in mourning over like three actually good Netflix shows that where cancelled 😞
@@charlottelepage5281 yeah but also isn’t that a direct reflection of the kind content that we watch?It means other shows don’t get enough traction to be renewed
it's the netflix business model to put out a lot of new hyped shows (that will gain new subscribers) and then cancel it in 1-2 seasons. New content to get people signed up to netflix because their financial growth is based in acquiring new subscribers. This business model makes sense when you realize Netflix is a data collecting company, not a film studio.
the part about them only needing to make 6 tiktoks to pay for the house speaks volumes to the myth of the american dream. working harder does not get you further in this country by any means.
Right? Like millions of us are busting our asses for less than 20 bucks an hour, this country is so far from a meritocracy it's ridiculous.
THIS. My husband and I both work seven days a week, him doing construction and me at a nursing home, so not easy work either and we constantly struggle to get by. It’s incredibly frustrating to hear things like that.
That almost made me cry!! 😭
I couldn't imagine having that amount of money at their age, my grades in high school and college would've been superb if I didn't have to worry about money everyday!
Like there are teachers out there that are making chump change and still have to buy supplies for the classroom and then society turns around and pays ppl playing a damn sport, acting in a movie or tik tok MILLIONS, while ppl that are actually working hard apparently don't deserve a living wage...I h8 society
What I've deduced is that young influencers kinda need therapy. The pressure of being the "bread winner" for an entire family at that young an age sounds like a bad time, mental health wise.
I mean, that kinda is already proven constantly by the downfall of the child star. It's just a lot more normalized and sometimes encouraged with social media influencers, it seems like.
I gave the show 10 minutes and just couldn’t do it… I hope Netflix loses money on that series. Thanks for doing this video!
OMG, I saw on the side of a bus yesterday that David Dobrek got a series on Discovery... Like WHY????
Same I watched the 1st 10 mins and had to turn It off. It’s so bad 😂🤦🏽♀️
I think the only good parts were vinnie, Nikita and chase.
@@aubreybey the good part for me was never wasting one fucking second of my life watching any of it
Hannah, you're doing absolutely the Lord's work. I am so curious I wanted to watch it but I also knew I'd DIE before I got to like episode 5. Anyway, thanks for taking this one for the team, queen.
My feels too!
When I saw the icon of the video I literally exhaled, "OMGThankyousomuchforwatchingsoIdon'thaveto" exhale... 😂💖
Facts
she is most definitely not doing the Lord's work.
I watched the entire show. And while I was watching it, it was like a fever dream. (Nikita Dragun hosting a prom for teenagers and taking a teenager as her date as a 25-year-old woman. Some kid getting drunk and watching Ratatouille by himself in a trailer. Someone rented a gyroscope for a TikTok?)
Then about ten minutes after watching the show, I forgot literally every single castmate's name except the ones I already knew and all I walked away with were new reasons I don't like Nikita Dragun.
i kinda relate to the drunk kid watching ratatouille ngl
@@bruhjime2675 sounds like the only funny moment of the show
People should stop acting like anyone who turns 25 is old. There is like 3 or 4 years between them, it's not that much. I have friends 8 years older than me...
@@robertat.8817 The age gap between Nikita and Vinnie is 7 years. The show mentioned Vinnie is freshly 18 when they filmed. 7 years is a pretty big age gap when you're that young.
@@robertat.8817 well how old are you?
It's so funny when influencers say "well people already hate me/think I'm problematic anyway so I may as well accept it" like hun this isn't a chicken or the egg situation. People didn't call you problematic BEFORE you exhibited problematic behaviors.
Smokey Glow is really doing the Lord's work. As a 35-year-old woman, I could not and would not justify watching that show. Thank you girl!!
39 and I KNEW this show had a snowball's chance in hell of me watching, BUT I have teen girls that will likely watch it (and I just love Hannah's take on a lot of the YT zeitgeist)
as an 18 year old girl, I don't really think anyone can justify that....dumpster fire of a show
@@emmanemz5824 smart girl!
Yep 36 yr old lady here and no fucking way I was gonna watch it but I love to hear Hannah's commentary
I thought alex warren came off as extremely disingenuous, its like his entire identity is exactly 2/3 david dobrik 1/3 shane dawson, even his "emotional" scenes seemed contrived
I completely agree. I was SHOCKED when she said that she though him and Kouvr were genuine. I personally think they’re the exact opposite.
@@trashketchup1497 honestly they seemed genuine at first. I remember I followed them when they were just a couple on tiktok having fun but ever since the hype they got Alex seems more contrived and Kovur seems sadder
I’m 35 and literally don’t know who any of these people are *elder millennial* but I will literally watch anything you deep dive. You’re so good at what you do that I have now watched HOURS of your videos on topics I care nothing about 🤣
I'm a middle aged millenial and I feel you 😂 who are these people? No idea, but I wanna know what Hannah thinks of them haha
I just turned 36 in dec and saaame lol
38 and I've never read anything more true.
Same!!
They are all gen Z sadly help us we are not ok
I want to add that I believe James Charles was originally supposed to be in the show but then all the controversies with him led producers to replace him with Nikita Dragun.
I just can not stand Nikita. What is soooo problematic about her is every single time someone tries to hold her accountable for the awful things she does she just plays the trans card and says it because of that. Well no it's not. I'm sure she does get horrible people saying bad things to her cause she is trans but she uses that as an excuse to be horrible when that is not the issue. The issue is her being an awful person 90% of the time. If I see a comment in videos about her and they r saying things about her being a man, I never hesitate to call those people out. I don't like her but that is just not something anyone should have to tolerate.
Lololo I don’t think she realizes because she’s horrible ppl will try to be horrible to her as well……. You can not expect ppl to show you respect while simultaneously disrespect a whole race of ppl multiple times w/o ever apologizing
I do find it interesting that the only time the show broke through and felt authentic is when people were taken out of the hype house and talked about their family and real life. I kind of wish Netflix did a documentary series on tiktok influencers who are trying to make it big and still live with their families.
That's a cool idea!
I'm confused about Episode 2, because yes, Larray went to a party knowing he had COVID...but Nikita also went to that same party during a pandemic? Like, they're both bad?
Also, the pic of these kids and then boom there's Nikita gives me the vibe of someone who peaked in and graduated from high school like 3 years ago still trying to be cool and hip with the current high schoolers lmao.
I mean she's only like twenty six
while 26 is still young, there’s a major difference between someone in their mid 20’s and someone freshly 18/out of high school. It’s a major mental and emotional gap that develops during a 7 year age gap.
@@danielleshovlin5369 the analogy still stands even if she is just 26. Someone who is out of high school does not live the same life as those actively still going to high school. Same for nikita and these tiktokers. A lot of them are freshly in their twenties while Nikita has just passed her midtwenties, idk about ur own experience but there's a markedly stark difference between early twenties and mid twenties
@@missingwalle9364 thE aNaLoGy sTiLl StAnDs girl get a life
@@danielleshovlin5369 u come on to my comment with an attitude and i tell u my point still stands and u come up with this. No wonder ur caping hard for nikita cuz ur braincells clearly also peaked in high school like ur queen lmfao. Just say u missed my point and go 🤣🤣
I'm a person who loves and needs a lot of quiet time and alone time. I cannot imagine anything worse than living in a hype house with a group of other people in my age group, who are always trying to "be on" for whoever is filming at that minute. You know these 20 somethings would just be too loud and constantly showing off in that way awkward little kids do in front of the best friends or a boy they like.
Literally same, like I love my friends and having fun w them but the idea of always having to be an entertainer and never getting to be a perosn even in your own home sounds awful, especially since Alex put cameras everywhere so he’ll nEvEr MiSs ThE cOnTeNt
I seriously wonder if James was originally supposed to be part of this too (after hearing your Nikita hypothesis) and with everything going on, they pulled back on him.
he’s a king he doesnt want to be with those peasants
@@wateryoutalkingabout6113 He's a predator.
Lmao, this comment reminded me of how Bella Poarch edited him out of her MV
@@wateryoutalkingabout6113 he literally would hang out w them... until charli left and he couldn't exploit their clout
@@wateryoutalkingabout6113 predators and peasants flock together babe
My heart goes out to the video editor who had to sit through hours and hours of that nonsense
Also can we take a moment to appreciate Hannah's hair
Soooo funny 😄
James Wright goes to college with me at Stanford and he posted an instagram story promoting the album of a girl who outwardly supported my rapist and other rapists from my high school. I swiped up and explained the situation to him, telling him that he should probably delete the post if he doesn't want to support rape culture, but he left me on read and kept the post up. kinda sus considering everything that happened with Jack Wright and Sienna... and honestly really disappointing to see an influencer call out rape culture and sa issues only when it affects their own mental sanity.
I’m so sorry this happened to you 💔 May I ask who this person is? I would like to make sure I don’t support them and spread the word. I’m
Sorry if this isn’t something that I should ask as well.
@@jadered9514 she is not a big singer, just a fellow Stanford student. i don't feel comfortable sharing her name because she has threatened me and my family before for speaking out about her actions
I’m so sorry that happened to you mate, I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you get justice. Honestly, I don’t even really know who James is, I beleiev Jack bc there’s a video of him literally getting assaulted but yeah James is sketch for that
@@internetangel3641 I’m still very sorry 😢 just know when you’re ready to come forward if you ever decide too, people will support you.
I’m 24 with a 15-year-old niece and we are super close but the idea of socially hanging out w ppl around their age is just crazy to me. I am (rightly) an authoritative figure in their life bc we are in very different life stages…even around 20 year olds I can really feel the difference in maturity levels - which is correct! We are in different places developmentally! It concerns me deeply how much these tiktok-ers and influencers normalise hanging out with minors and teenagers when you’re 25+…like you’re still young but there’s a *huge* difference between 25 young and 16 young
Gotta say there is a difference between a 15yr old and an 18yr old (also as her aunt you were going to feel responsible for her regardless, I speak as an aunt). All of the people on this show are 18 or older. Havent seen the show but if she is closer to the 20+ members then that would be even less of a gap. I dont condone romantic relationships between 18yr olds and older adults, but I dont get where the problem is with friendships that could just as easily happen in a work or postsecondary environment.
Her crush or whatever on Vinnis is/was inappropriate tho, I dont think theres anything wrong with being friends but it does fall on her to not cross the line.
You’re the ONLY person I’d actually willingly watch a talk about a reality show for a content house, two things I legit could not care less about lol - love the way you talk about things!!
"Where are the contracts ?" was the question I had the entire time too lol I didn't understand why ppl would still be there if they were not doing what they were supposed to. Very strange
I was asking that the entire timeeee
I was literally cheering for Thomas to close the hype house because it was clearly weighing on him a lot. I actually felt really bad for Thomas once you met his dad and heard his backstory. Thomas came off as controlling and had a poor management style but also he's 20 and can you blame him based on what he had heard about his childhood. The most interesting part of the show in my opinion was that a lot of the people in the hype house had very dark family lives or nonexistent ones and clearly need some direction in terms of their career and personal life. I contrast that with the D'amelios and Addison Rae who's families are very very involved in their careers and serve (I think ) as an integral part of their success because of the support and security they provide so their child can succeed.
i dunno about addison’s family, but charli’s family is definitely just taking advantage of her success.
Well a lot of ppl have bad backgrounds stories and we are expected to still be good ppl so a person with millions of followers should still be held to the same requirements
@@brizzany10 I agree with your point but I think the comment was just saying how it was interesting that some of the members had either non-existent families or really dark ones and needed some guidance.
the hype house lost their relevancy when the most popular Influencers left the group so Its pointless to still carry on the show
Honestly, it seems like kids play-acting how to run a business. Which is the case. Also, it seems like one of the main things against a content house is how it throws the work-life balance out of whack. I had to learn to not bring work with me home the hard way and I'm pretty sure it's the same for a lot of adults. So seeing kids go through that kinda makes me feel bad for them, because yeah, a lot them are awful but they're literally teens. Most of us were awful during that age. And none of us had the lens of social media to record of all that. Keep in mind I'm not excusing the truly heinous shit (like partying during the pandemic). They don't have a point of reference into how 'real' business works and how to separate a friendship from a work relationship.
I felt so bad for Thomas the entire time because nobody was doing any fucking work but it is true that it would have all been so much easier with a contract, can’t believe that did not cross my mind ahah
But overall most of them were so lazy, I just wish more interesting people were added
Ok Hannah, love you for this but I strongly disagree that Alex was one of the best in the show. I liked his gf but strongly disliked him. Just felt so weird watching him boss everyone around for a bit and not do anything himself
I completely agree, he was actually my least favorite
yeah I was shocked when she said that, especially considering how awfully he treated his girlfriend.
A reality show with mostly teenagers/early 20's people and no legally enforceable contracts, what could go wrong?
I think Netflix literally missed "the hype" when The Hype House was actually "hyped" and still popular and thriving. Like you said, I think Netflix showed up thinking they were gonna be documenting some long term type show that would have a few seasons at least but from what I've seen in several videos about the show on CZcams, including this one, it was just one big shit show (especially the Larry, Nikita and Sienna situations). I honestly didn't know very much about The Hype House or any of it's members until this show came out and I seen people doing videos about it. It's normally not something I would watch but I watch all of your content because your videos are so good Hannah! You did great on this video! You saved me from watching hours of mediocre young Tik Tokers who make way too much money for what little they actually do! You mentioned how out of touch they are and it really seems that way when they are living in a literal content house and refusing or just not making any content! I can understand Thomas' frustration but I also heard he's not that great of a guy himself in a lot of ways as well! Awesome video! I love your deep dives the best!
When you were talking about the intros and having so many people, it occurs to me this is unique to most reality shows that we know “so much” about these people. Or are supposed to but I know who 2 of them are.
For shows like RHOBH, bachelor, etc. we learn about the cast from the show. It makes the info about them so digestible. Here we have a lot of people who think every detail about themselves is important and they all think they’re super important so it makes it so overwhelming like you said.
Unlike on bachelor or other shows the producers edit and curate the storylines so much cleaner and from scratch since most of them are unknown before the first episode airs.
Honestly don’t know anything about the hype house but nikita just looks soooo out of place in the thumbnail 😭
Rigghhttt 🤣🤣
@MyyViictor literally I think it’s episode 3 they have a dodgeball fight (for some reason???) and everyone is just in regular gym clothes and Nikita is in like this weird white one piece with cutouts and hair down to her thighs and I’m SO CONFUSED
I love how every time you say “I hope you’re having an amazing day” I usually respond with “yeah it’s alright” but today I’m just like “GOD VENUS IS IN GATORADE, THE PUG DIDN’T FEEL GOOD, AND THE WORLD IS FALLING APART- but yeah I’m ok”
Hype House is a phenomenon for me. In any other circumstances a bunch of young, kinda famous people in a mansion with cameras around them is a recipe for a disaster but it’s should be fun to watch. Hype House somehow produced something as boring as a first foreign language group lesson where everybody knows two words only and sits awkwardly.
...now I just want to find that one clip of a fake telenovela written by a beginning Spanish class.
tbh some of the episodes/situations are entertaining, but its just these people are equivalent to cardboard so its not as entertaining as it should be- i see y you say its boring
Bruh The Umbrella Academy has been on pause for like 2 and a half years yet this shit was produced in like 6 months?? C'mon Netflix, get your priorities straight!
I almost watched this just for the cringe factor and then immediately thought “No, Hannah will take care of it for me” 🤣
9:43 I think people just get frustrated because usually (for the most part) those who become main stream it’s because they have some form of talent or creative outlet. Such as Issa Rae or even Liza Koshy but hype house? Just because people have numbers doesn’t mean they deserve a show.
Larray’s team wouldn’t let him take blame for picking Nikita Dragun up from a party before he found out he had Covid but they let Netflix make up a subplot of him not only having Covid and not telling Nikita so he could go to a party but admitting the team wanted to BLAME Nikita for him not quarentining and putting it in the show?????
Honestly a random Smokey glow video is probably twice as high quality as this entire show…
**Proceeds to watch this instead of the actual show and knowing I will not regret that decision for one second.
I have pretty much zero interest in knowing what the Hype House show is about and what happened. Yet I do very much want to spend an hour listening to your commentary on what the Hype House show is about and what happened.
Isn’t Nikita like way older than all these guys? Idk feels weird that she hangs with them so much 😬
I believe she's in her mid to late 20's so it's really weird to me too she's hanging out with a bunch of 18 year olds. As a person in their late 30's, I'm a COMPLETELY different person than I was even when I was in my late 20's compared to being still a teenager. Nikita will do anything for clout and attention sadly!
I was an assistant on the show and let me tell you... you are pretty much right about everyone. I worked closely with Larrey and it was truly eye opening.
Ooohhh :::::whispers::::: tell me everything
I had to look at the last 5 minutes of the show for myself, because that just seemed such an abrupt ending. And nope, it really just goes from people partying together, Thomas saying they're like a family to "6 months later" and half the people moving out.
I don't know if the last few minutes can be used to represent the entire show, but during the ending--if not the whole thing--it sounds to me like there's a lot of forced conclusions/life lessons being thrown in. Like when they cut to Chase saying "we're all really close" but the best clip they could find to illustrate that is Larray telling Nikita "I just don't want to fight anymore". Might as well be "footage not found".
Dude they’re so out of touch!! I literally recreated 3 songs from Encanto on my Tik Tok…cosplayed every single character (greenscreen cloned myself & everything)…and they can’t adhere to a 15 sec sponsorship? Sheesh! 😭
Great job with this vid btw Hannah! Love you! 🥰
It makes me sick these people are really partying and spreading COVID. My dad is a firefighter and has gotten covid 3 times since the start of the pandemic because unlike these people- he can't stay home to work.
I know this show came out quite a while ago but Chasing Cameron which was a Netflix reality TV show based on Cameron Dallas during his heyday would be so interesting! It was such a unique perspective of being a celebrity and having millions of people watch and care about you. It really delved into mental health and the pressures that come along with it and I wish it got more attraction because I don't even follow him but it was really eye opening and informative in an entertaining and great way!
That does sound interesting.
Cannot believe that Nikita really said “yeah I’m blackfishing what of it?” and was not immediately canceled
I did actually feel bad for thomas cause it must be so frustrating feeling all this pressure to pay the bills and seemingly being the only one who cares and is actually willing to put the work in (also being super young). Like even if a tik tok takes a while to make, they each only have to do one a month! and they won’t even do that. Also about the contracts, I’m just not convinced someone that young would seriously think about something like that, despite how much they’re trying to be serious business people, especially since they’re all about the same age and (kind of) friends, I don’t know if he instead thought they would listen because it’s mutually beneficial for them to uphold their side, which is pretty rational thinking
bruh tiktoks take zero time especially for them all they gotta do is look pretty behind a bang energy can
They got where they were by stealing content from talented ppl and still butchering it, so now that they are wildly successful what else can they do? That's why they can't even do one a month cause they are boring, uncreative, untalented with personalities of brain dead chalk on life support...so they just wait around till another viral trend to hop onto 😩
i'm not going to lie, larray bring up nikita's past in the way he did felt a bit performative to me. i do not want to judge him because he is a kid nor do i want to assume how he felt, but it comes off as odd to me how he was okay being friends with a know blackfisher and didn't bring it up before or how he forgave her so quickly? it felt, to me, like a way for him to say "yes, i'm friends with a racist BUT i don't approve of what she does and she knows that" which is...... just ignoring the problem.
at the same time, like you said, it feels impossible for anyone to bring up nikita's wrongdoings to her because she will always hide behind her gender identity.
Thank you so much for pointing out how shitty their actions are during Covid!! Especially how they cared more about getting cancelled than passing on a deadly virus! Its so infuriating
I agree, tiktokers shouldn't be given shows. They already have platforms. Give the Netflix deals to people who will make content/social commentary about actual human problems.
Agree and disagree re: percentage-based contracts always being bad. I’m a professional stand up comedian and my manage and agents take a percentage. My feeling about it is will they bring in enough to be worth it - in this case, will 90% of whatever I make being in a hype house be more than 100% of what I would make without it? Agree that the long term contracts are massively predatory, though, and another problem with signing away 10% of your income to a house like that is that managers/agents will also take a percentage on top of that, so after everyone gets their cut they’re “earning” significantly less than they do on paper.
Can we please get a reality show where one or two brave "normal people" who have actually had jobs in more "established" sectors like retail, office work, etc. join the Hype House for a week and call out (either to the house members or the cameras) how full-of-shit these kids are??
“The first circle of hell” 😂😂 Hannah I found you recently and have been binging your videos, podcast, vlogs. I absolutely love your content
Okay Nikita Dragun being only 25 was somehow the most shocking thing of this entire thing.
I remember when U called it when the hype house was first announced "in a few months we'll get videos like 'why I left hype house'" and we did lol
I finally got Covid after being exposed Jan 2 ‘22 by my brother. And only found out afterwards that he had been to a freaking bar for NYE during a wave where our small province is getting 1000 cases a day in Omicron. And my whole family has been defending him and saying it’s not his fault.
Thank you for making this video cause I needed to know someone was on my side. I am the only one making a stink about it in our family group chats but he’s the baby 21 year old. It’s so annoying. Our stepmom had lupus and a heart condition (two heart valve replacements in 5 years) and he gave her Covid. After us protecting her and giving up so much to keep her safe. I’m still so mad.
It's like Larray is the go-to person for diversity. Not too black. Not too white😭
More than mad at them for getting a reality show, I'm mad that effing Netflix did it, when they are cancelling GOOD shows left and right and this group of people get a show?? It's a bad joke
"Oh fuck, I hope my negligence and my idiocy doesn't kill someone" is the new tagline for my life.
it always surprise me how influencers feel so entitled to do/say some things and excuse themselves with the most random stuff. like the same way Nikita being trans doesn't make people transphobic for criticizing her for being actively racist, being young doesn't excuse certain behaviors. I will never understand people being like 'they are 18 they don't know better' as an excuse for things like going out in the middle of a pandemic or even worse stuff. like I am the same age as they're and I don't see myself or people around me 'not knowing better'.
(btw, I'm sorry for any possible mistakes, English is not my first language XD)
also lots of love for Hannah, always love hearing your opinions on anything.
"Has a fake wedding to get views" I think this idea just shows among many other aspects how young these ppl are and especially how immature their thinking still is. I truly hope that having this fake wedding does not give these ppl and their millions of mostly young viewers the idea that getting married for real is just something you do for views, and is something you can just jump into at one moment and jump out when ever you feel like. Not surprised at all, that one of them who really wants to get married was upset about this.
Dude I just went grocery shopping the other day and there was some energy drink on display and the slogan was literally "like in all the influencer videos". I live in Germany and this just shocked me and all the teenagers walking by where hyped to get that drink. So crazy.
I saw this travesty pop up on netflix the other day and secretly hoped someone would make a video on it so I didn’t have to grit my teeth through it myself 😅 I’m glad it was you girl
First thing I thought when it popped up on Netflix was, “Gotta wait for that Smokey Glow review now.” Ain’t nobody got time for that…but I have time for the Smokey tea all day, every day ☕️.
I don’t really agree with you on the show “picking a villain” it seemed pretty neutral and sympathetic to all of them. If anything it seemed like they didn’t want to call anyone out for what they did. I think its more ego than jealousy with Lilhuddy. I also think its interesting that Thomas actually got kicked out of Team 10 and is obsessed with not letting the hype house fail.
Netflix came way to late with this. If this was filmed when charlie and addison where still there, this show would have been a hit.
I watched this show because I needed to kill some brain cells, and I thought maybe it would be fun. But no, it was just depressing. None of the people wanted to be there, none of them wanted to be creators, and all of them had unresolved traumas. They all need therapy, not a reality show
Jenna and Julien talked about channel networks and how predatory they can be, just like this, where you sign on for a long span of time for a certain percentage. An earlier episode. Really, really intriguing.
Alternative title: "I watched 'The Hype House' Netflix show so you don't have to"
Thanks Hannah
Having housemates kinda sucks most of the time, but add content creation into the mix and you've got my personal hell!
Ok so I've been avoiding glowmas like a plague so I can binge them all and I just got back on the grind of watching your videos one after another because I've got chores to do and I have to say love the new intro! It's so beautiful! Whoever came up with it good job.
*your videos
Have I ever been a consumer of Hype House . . . No
Do I care about hype house . . . No
Am I going to watch a hour and a half long review of their show
👏Y👏E👏S👏
Me too
The torture I endured today at work, after I received a notification that you posted this and I was forced to wait until the end of my shift to watch it, was heartbreaking
Oh good heavens can't believe you sat through that nonsense. I got really excited to see the long video! I could just listen to you ramble for hours. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into your content! 💖
I was JUST hoping you would do a video on this! I love hearing you talk about influencer reality tv it’s always so entertaining. So thanks, I’m excited to have a whole hour to keep me occupied for a while 😌
In the Evolution of James Charles video, Hannah talks about a major issue of Shane/Jefree/Tati is that they didn’t care about James’ harmful actions until it could potentially affect their bag. In this the issue with these lot is that none of them care about harmful Larri’s actions until it personally affected them. It’s interesting how the issue with influencers can be summed up with influencers lacking the ability to empathise. Amandabb did a video on Influencers Lacking Empathy and it’s just insane (and disgusting) to see how it’s such a prominent feature of so many of the major influencers.
YOU LIKED ALEX AFTER WATCHING THIS SHOW??? I feel like that could be the case for people who knew him somehow before watching. I didn't and he's one of the most toxic people on the show. The way he treats his girlfriend, the way his mind is solely focused on stupid metrics instead of people...the way Netflix portrayed him made me absolutely despise him so I am surprised that you had the opposite experience and I wonder how much previous experience with that person plays a role in it.
