An online 'livecaster' with a dangerous brand has a crisis of conscience over her volatile career choice in a future world where jobs are limited and conflict is currency.

public service reminder

that the downtown station is closed

Victim number one.

Or,

Nasty tracks.

What do you think?

Thanks nasty tracks.

Promise to act accordingly.

Speaking of,

I need to go take a shower.

Maybe I'll even share.

But, only if you're a premium subscriber.

Cut.

Who is it?

It's me.

Okay, hold on.

Door, open.

Live.

What is up fight nation?

What's up guys?

You guys miss me?

- Look who finally decided to show up.

- Hey bad ass.

- And how have you been?

- I had shit do do.

- Oh yeah.

- I'm here now.

- Cut.

- You're okay?

- Yeah. I just got cut on my tooth.

- That looks bad.

- Yeah, she totally handed me my ass.

I think she was ex pro.

- Hey, I'm sorry I wasn't there.

- Yeah.

All the comment boards were like,

"Where is he?"

Well, sweet yeah, I knew
that fight was going to pop.

- It didn't.

I mean there were more comments,

but the views just stayed the same.

And this fight, was so much more intense

than the other one.

I don't know, this new algorithm

is frigging killing me.

- Can you get by on it,

for you know at least another week

with your other streams?

- I don't know, maybe.

- Maybe you should do an AI consult.

You know, optimize your channel.

- With what extra bit credit?

I'm totally maxed out with the setup.

- Hey, you'll get another sponsor.

Come on.

Let's visualize.

What do you want?

Strike pop?

- Come on.

- What, wizard cams?

Those cams are next gen AI.

- Stop.

- Bite aid.

- Stop.

Jesus.

- What?

- This.

I mean, look at me!

Could barely get out of bed this morning.

- Hey, I'm beat too.

You know.

I streamed for 10 hours
straight last night.

- Oh my God, gaming is hardly the same.

- You were the one who made

this whole fight girl persona.

All right, and fan
engagement is exhausting.

- Okay look, 10 years ago
to help my acting career.

Do you think that I thought it was going

to get to this point?

- Lay off the fight club.

- And do what?

- Fake an injury.

- And then what?

Nobody hires real actors anymore.

I'm not like, 16 with like a shopping bag

to inhaul.

- Hey, I'd like to see you at 16.

- Stop, I'm serious.

- So am I.

- Oh yeah.

You had fantasies about me when I was 16.

- Yeah.

- Well.

I was chubby.

And I had frizzy hair.

Bad frizzy hair.

And I was obsessed with a 24 year old.

- So, nothing much has changed.

- I take it back.

This is the best version of you.

Live.

- Censors.

- Delete censors.

Censors.

- Delete censors.

- Stop.

- What?

- Stop.

Cut.

- You can't keep cutting.

- I just.

You know we don't do it without censors.

- Everybody's doing it without em.

- What is that supposed to mean?

- Just that,

you know, we have to evolve.

- Into porn stars?

No.

- You know, Max and
Rebecca just had Redmaf

sponsor their baby shower.

- What?

- Their numbers spiked

because they got two new sponsors.

- You want to get pregnant?

- I'm just saying,

if you don't want to amp up the sex,

that's an option.

Aren't you thinking about it.

At your age?

- Screw you.

- I just tried.

- Maybe I should just
quit and work for Zoomer.

- Don't even.

- What?

It's acting.

Keeping all those losers
company in the car.

- You know, we can just move

to one of those beer
sponsored party cities

and live for free.

- I just said,

I just said, that I didn't want to fuck

for the camera.

What part of that do you not understand?

- You see, this is all we have left.

Okay, our pain.

Ourselves.

Our love.

That's the only things that those AI's

that they can't do better than us.

- Did you get that off of a Starbucks cup?

- So what if I did?

- Oh my God, your generation.

- What?

- I just can't be on like this anymore.

I can't keep chasing an algorithm.

I just,

I can't keep upping the stakes

of my own life just to survive.

- You have to.

- No!

- Live.

- Cut!

- Live!

- Cut!

Disengage secondary access.

- This is exactly the shit
we need to be broadcasting.

Authenticity!

- Weren't you supposed to feature

that for another week?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Maybe we should take a break.

See other people.

- Okay.

- Could be good for our channels.

- Sure.

- Do you want to go back

and maybe we can try to rehash this?

I mean, I think it's really, really good.

Seriously.

We could find something else to break.

- Live.
