"she's not actually the billionaire's daughter, it's her identical twin" ... so she is the billionaire's daughter?
-
i'm so sad that there's like a production company behind all this and it isn't just up and coming actors in their 20s going rogue and deciding to pretend to be weird rich people...
-
I don't hate this as a concept. A storyline that's built in between multiple fictional channel. The correct way to do it is to do a two seconds logo im the beginning to make sure everyone knows what's going on. And, you know. Make the stories good.
-
The good twin is named Joy ... and the bad twin is named Trixie (Tricksy). That crosses the line from clever to just stupid.
-
fine, i’ll admit it. they’ve been paying me to be a youtuber this whole time!

Funnily enough, the people accusing Jarvis of not knowing what an ARG is, clearly don't know what an ARG is themselves. There literally needs to be a "game," involved for the viewers to play; like finding a secret code in a video or a hidden web address in source code for a website. These are just people making fictional stories. There is no interactive "game" for the viewers to participate in and influence the outcome. I doubt they even read the comments, it seems more like reaction bait.

Why is splitting the bill at dinner still seen as a bad thing? I'm all for offering to pay on the first date if I ask the other person out but my partner and I pretty much split everything 50/50
-
That ad read transition was SEAMLESS
-
It's only an ARG if the story is affected by the presence of the audience. If the audience cannot influence the story, it is called Unfiction.
-
Imo Jarvis is right. Imagine one of these actors were in a storyline where they were a doctor or lawyer and were spreading misinformation and their tiktok was considered reputable and shared like "Sydney's"was. That's a whole lot of damage. Yes, i would love for Jarvis to breakdown this tiktok cinematic universe. Edit: I did not know that she would have her "sister" be a "nurse"
-
it's not an ARG, it's unfiction. a fictional story that tries to seem real or takes place in our reality for immersion. a similar idea to ARGs, just without the game element. ARGs are fictional stories where the viewers/players can interact with and effect the story, many (if not most) are also unfiction. theres nothing wrong with unfiction, these people are just doing it badly
-
Sydney seems like the kind of girl we all went to middle school with who got herself into really dramatic situations that culminated with her crying, screaming, and throwing up at a public event until she chills out again and then repeats the cycle.
-
I like how Jarvis is able to call people out on their crap without being really mean to them for unrelated things
-
honestly kinda weird that that guy is making a story abt himself being the assistant of a billionaire and yet they're not having a passionate love affair with each other???? wild
-
When you’re watching a Jarvis video, minding your own business and he shouts out your brothers girlfriend’s Vox article and tells you he’s met her. Life is strange…the game.
-
It's so ironic how the journalists that are supposed to be "journaling/journalizing(?)" the articles they write DON'T EVEN DO THE RESEARCH THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BEFORE WRITING. Like how lazy are journalists becoming, seriously??? Maybe that's just my view but it's like nobody puts in the effort anymore to make sure the article is even accurately true. Misinformation is spread literally everywhere thanks to the lack of caring.
-
When Jarvis talked about Tony Stark, for a second I was thinking Tony Hawk and I was like “wait… Tony Hawk isn’t real?” Lmao
-
As a chef I really enjoys Jarvis’s content.
-
I love how obvious it is that exactly zero of the people writing these stories have ever worked anywhere near a customer service job OR a tech company.
-
I kind of feel for the actors in this situation, like if it was more overtly represented as fictional I can totally see this being a fun gig. The acting is a little hammy and over the top but it feels like that's the intended style and they seem to be doing pretty well and having fun with it. Maybe using tiktok as the platform is the issue, since (I gather) it's easy to quickly swipe between lots of real life moments without gathering any context and there isn't much of a presence of fiction on there.
