Too boring. Would have been cancelled when I was a boring little kid. Who's going to watch someone play with Legos for 16 fucking hours straight?

Iβd apologize to the viewers that the show has been so dull. Iβd probably blame the writers, they obviously hired utter hacks.
Pissed. I'd be pissed. Yall just watched me suffer for decades. For entertainment.
Yeah! Fucking monstrous to not do anything after certain events that happened to me. Or worse, to have planned those? It's horrible to even think of all the implications.
That's gonna entertain them even more
I'll be so excited to get compensation
Iβd feel really bad for the actors they made me watch die. I'd also wonder how they got the cameras to follow me across the world (twice) without me noticing.
What? You think the nanobot drones disguised as vaccines are new thing?
If I'd be honest, probably the first thing that I would feel is embarrassment, thinking that the thousand time plus that I beat the meat would look like the movie Shame from 2011
Whereβs my love interest? Why is everything setup to be so shitty in terms of geopolitics and the economy and such? And finally, the viewers better be laughing at my jokes at least.
Ceiling cam is watching you masturbate.
It would be, anyway. I have one for review and improvement.
Well, anyone watching would already know I'm fucked in the head. So I doubt they'd be surprised when I went on a killing spree for having been violated like that
I'd be like "who the f made it like this and who the f watches that"
How would you feel about the fact that they made the Jim Carrey movie and put it where you could see it?
I don't think the Morisetteian irony of watching a movie that's equally fucked up in its premise as you found out your life is would move the needle much. The rug would've been pulled out from under you and this wouldn't cause more than a wry bored smile a couple of weeks later when the shock has subsided a bit.
Probably a bit miffed at what absolute shit writers my show had. Cause this sucks.
I was raised religious. I always felt that if there really was a God, I existed solely to be a subject of cruel comedy for it. I think if I found out I was being Truman Show-ed, Iβd immediately feel vindicated. Then Iβd feel incredibly nihilistic and letβs just say I wouldnβt bother trying to escape or let the show continue.
id b like .. those muthafukas
I'd wonder what happened to the writers since the writers strike in 2007. It's like they gave up
Laugh at how much money they would have lost, my life isn't interesting at all to watch, it would have been cancelled years ago.
Imagine if they raised a person from a baby in a Truman show type of environment and he turned out to organically become the most racist sexist angry and unpleasant piece of shit.
People probably would still watch, but I am not sure.
If I found out today I was in a show, I'd do everything in my power to end the lives of everyone tangentially involved. It would mean my life was already meaningless, so there's no risk in throwing it away.
When the world shits on your neck, go out hard
I've always felt like the best lies have at least two layers. You think you've seen through something and can feel satisfied about it, so now you can stop looking. Otoh there weren't people with "Truman Show psychosis" before that movie and there were after, so maybe it wouldn't have been the best choice.
We are living it. Right now. Each and every one of us with a phone in our pocket. Except we don't have paid actors doing the work. Everyone is volunteering to post everything that goes on in our world around us and broadcast it.
"The man held the brightest star in the sky one morning. Then just went to work."
actually i do sometimes think that life is in some sense a drama (theater stage), and what we perform is often at least as important as what we actually do in reality.
i.e. there's a whole lot of symbolic interactions throughout the day. for example every time that we speak to someone. it doesn't change reality, but another person's mind, so it's a symbolic interaction.
I used to have same imagination in childhood. Interesting thought, and wish it would be so. At least that would explain why everything is turning dark....
That would be the very least of your worries.
