The Inevitable Failure of BFDI:TPOT Voting

#bfdi #tpot #objectshow
5 Nickel Plushies.

This video goes over TPOT's voting and some of the heat surrounding it, mainly the voting mechanic and it's issues that could possibly proceed into the foreseeable future.

Literally the first video of this type of content I've ever made so excuse the rough edges. Including the microphone which makes me sound like I have a cold.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey, Adam here! Wanted to weigh in and genuinely apologize to anyone who was offended by my “bribing stunt, ” and this is a fair criticism.

This may be a little hard to believe, but I’m genuinely a fan of BFDI. Before I had been involved in the show whatsoever, I was a fan first and foremost, and I think seeing Nickel so close to being eliminated had a larger impact on me than it probably should have. At the time, I really saw myself as another fan trying to advocate for his favorite character to stay, but having a layer of separation now… yeah, that’s silly given the circumstances. I’ve definitely learned my lesson in that regard and absolutely won’t be doing anything like this again! Really just a human error on my end, I can admit that.

Regardless of Nickel’s fate, I’ll always be a fan and will watch, but I’ll stay out of voting in the show going forward, as to not influence anything! Anyway, just wanted to get that out there.

The irony of not wanting pillow to stay on the show because she's a murderer and then sending death threats to people that voted for pillow is amazing

[ThrarmClips]

if he was offering 6 nickel plushies it would have done it

[jimjam]

Bro they saw this video and actually changed the format so you can't see the votes now. I think that's so freaking cool mike and cary are cool

6:12 Apparently a CERTAIN writer of Bfdi didn’t like match, pencil, and 9/11 attack so their Solution was to derail both of their personalities so they could get the boot.

[goobert]

This video is exactly what the BFDI community needs, I can really tell you understand and acknowledge the show’s original intentions, how it's *supposed* to be casual and enjoyed like a fun little treat every other month or so. I used to be pretty involved in this fandom online, from like 2016-20, but after the steady decline of voting-wars and shady shit going on behind the scenes (along with my own run-ins with the absolute toxic sludge of fans), made me step back. I watch a new episode when it comes out, give my single vote, and move on with my life. But hey, Im also an adult with a life, college, hobbies etc. Kids whose major sense of connection, community, and friendships are within the OSC are likely to feel much more passionate about their vote and who they want to win-- like how when I was a kid, I was really passionate about watching the new MLP episode like it was the Superbowl. Things just feel way more important and world-changing when you're young, yknow? So, to have a show where you can directly influence what happens in it? This kind of reaction was bound to happen along with the natural growth of the OSC.

Also you did NOT just use that video of Michael for his introduction LMAOO, that caught me off guard. Fun fact, I was in that stream; my username on twitch used to be "serpennnt" and if you look up the clip on r/livestreamfail you'll see me pop up in chat for a second after the accident lol. Anyways, this comment is long enough, thanks for the refreshing OSC content, Im looking forward to what you talk about next!

This has always been a topic i had with my friends, I'm a person who prefers vote to eliminate over vote to save, but I can see how both have disadvantages.

Btw I really love the video. You have amazing potential, amazing editing, and voice!

[APOYOSC]

This is a pretty good video overall! I like how you explain how something that could be seen as a fun experience (talking about the voting wars), it's been taken instead on a road where people just take the voting WAY too seriously, to the point where people sent death threats for voting... I guess anyone?

Really like the editing style as well! Keep up the great work!

[steveimator_m]

🔥🔥🔥 *5 NICKEL PLUSHIES* 🔥🔥🔥

No seriously, this was a great vid and the editing style was neat too! I agree pretty much people must think and vote on the character they want to save. But they SERIOUSLY, need to stop manipulating and treating other people with excessive death threats or disrespectful throwbacks just bc they didn’t vote a certain character they want safe, it is indeed ridiculous for a show made "for all ages".

[OverbakdCrakr]

6:12 OH MY GOD! THANK YOU! Finally, someone else agrees that Firey Jr was ROBBED for no reason! He finally starts showing some personality and because it’s a bit meaner than people like he gets eliminated! Because “How DARE he be mean to Naily?” Someone who wasn’t even helping in the challenge. I still get heated whenever BFB 13 gets mentioned…

[Fast_Duck]

Yo I really enjoyed this video! I’ve never been that crazy about the BFDI votings, like really everyone should just let what happen happen, if you wanna vote then vote but don’t force others to vote and when they don’t especially don’t send death threats or anything like that. Great video tho! Looking forward to more

[PlatinumComet]

Vote to Save is such a great idea in concept, but given the lengths people will go to try to protect cartoon objects with faces, it makes every voting period dreadful. It just turns the votings into "Let's spin the wheel to see who we can write off this time".

Seriously, how has Vote to Eliminate been significantly less toxic and botted by comparison?

[Tierd]

I think the main thing about APOY in terms of the voting thing is that when TPOT 9 released, he made multiple community posts and videos in Pillow’s favour (4 videos and 2 community posts to be precise)

[Liquidity]

Vote To Save was doomed from the started. I mean look at the constants that are eliminated rn. 60% of them didn’t even deserve it 💀

[mr.unkown-xkpj]

ah yes, bribing fan to vote nick le for a possibility of getting 1 nick le plush, that 100% a normal thing to do as one of the most influencer osc member

[endstoneninja]

This is how it felt for me to be a TV fan in TPOT 8. It wasn’t nearly as bad as in TPOT 9, but man, some people got really personal about TV surviving over Puffball.

[stariverse]

they actually changed the voting. it makes me really happy that we arent able to see votes now and that they actually listened. thats one of the reasons why i like bfdi so much :) the episode was so good too.

[Idamensional]

I think this is the first good object show commentary video ive seen that isnt just 2 minute low effort slop. Good job! Editing styles really good and I hope you get more subs

[Bon]

something i wish you did put in this video is that adam bribed his audience another time back when the season 2 cast voting happened.

for context: the voting we see in the start of season 2 episode 1 was actually voted on by viewers on who they wanted to join the show, and if you saw nickel was like top 3.

this character we have NO idea on their personality of has like 10k+ votes, how does this happen?
adam bribed his audience lol, he even admitted to it in the bfdia comments, you can prob find a video on youtube for a more detailed explanation but yeah. bribing votes for an web series about objects THREE times is crazy.
