Netflix's Hype House Reality Show is an Absolute Disaster
Hey everyone welcome back to my channel and to the first video of 2022!!! So crazy!!!! For this weeks video I thought there was no better way to start off the year than to check out Netflix's new reality show about the Hype House! The show's been in production for what seems like ages considering they initially announced it quite a while ago but after a long wait it was finally released last Friday and I watched the whole thing so you don't have to or if you did watch it we can discuss :)
If you haven't heard of it yet Netflix decided to green light the series "Hype House" for a season (so far) that would go behind the scenes of the biggest (and at this point i think the last standing) tik tok content house full of big-time influencers trying to make it in Los Angeles. Obviously a few years ago when all these content houses started popping up there was a media frenzy over them but considering it's been so long since then I was pretty surprised that Netflix decided to do a series on them, and it turns out I wasn't the only one. From what it looks like online the reception to the series both before its release and after has been pretty unanimous confusion and/or criticism. But despite all that the shows here and it follows the lives of current members like Lil Huddy, Thomas Petrou, Alex Warren, Nikita Dragun, Larray, Kouvr, Vinnie Hacker and also looks back on previous members like Charli D'amelio, Dixie D'amelio and Addison Rae who have since moved on from the group.
SOOO if you haven't watched the show but were curious what happens or if you have watched and wanna talk about what went down feel free to keep watching! If you enjoy the video give it a like and subscribe, if you want it really helps out the channel and if you've got thoughts definitely share them down below in the comment section i'll see you there!! thanks so much for watching:))

While arguing is normal in a relationship, while Alex broke his foot kouvre dropped everything and lost money due to missed opportunities to help him and all he did was complain about not filming and making content. He dismissed all of her feelings the whole time and she basically acted as his mother for most of the show. Almost all of her stress could be attributed to Alex.

[@gdg4686p]

yeahhh when he talked about how she moved out to be with him and he was like “yep we’re uh, actually gonna live in a car”….they clearly are just together at this point more bc of what theyve been through together than the actual relationship bringing them joy. they remind me of catelyn and tyler from teen mom, but less serious. arrested development and that sort of thing

I watched the show and the only thing that made me really upset with seeing how Thomas would defend the other members of the House for not doing the work he was clearly stressed out about. He would constantly say that he was running a business but the people in the house were his family so it was hard for him to put down his foot. Like the whole time I watching I was waiting for Thomas to stand up to them and say if you’re not gonna put in work there are hundreds of straight white boys that can replace you in an instant.

Very refreshing and nuanced video considering the subject matter! It’s very easy to make a video just pointing out how cringe everything is (and to be fair, I do love a healthy handful of pointing-out-cringe content) but it’s nice to hear creators take burnout and work conditions seriously, even when talking abt ppl you don’t necessarily like

[@crunchgirl6787]

I could literally care less about the D’Amelio sisters but I must say...it’s so stupid how Thomas thinks the Hype House made them famous. Charli would be successful with or without him.

[@folkiethetea]

omg loona

[@meaganl124]

You know I’m on the right spaces on the internet when I had no clue about this “show” 😌

[@J.Skyler]

boy netflix has really done it this time >:|

[@samofsamnation7523]

Nikita uses black outrage for promotion. I will forever dislike her for that and that she shows no desire to change.

[@Starburst514]

It's kinda like the Dixie and Charli"s show, you expected it to be cringe but it's more sad and a interesting look into young people being worked to the bone in a new environment that is internet influence. It's kinda interesting cause it kinda feels like both shows were trying to jump on the gap that shows like keeping up with the Kardashians left, but the environment has changed so much. Not just reality-type TV but how these types of influencers interact with the public and how audiences see them. If these shows came out in 2017 it may have been really different (I feel like in that short time the climate has changed so much which idk is cause of the pandemic or how Internet trends come and go like 10x faster than irl) And how we see reality type stuff, and events happening in realtime with these influencers being on social media vs how long it take a show to come out

[@thelonleyUchiha1]

What’s even sadder with Charli and Dixie is the show is about them and their family so there even more stuck in this siduation especially charli cause she was under 18 while filming it so she’s kinda stuck doing what her parents ask. At least the hype house guys are doing this semi on the own and if they don’t want to anymore they can quit but charli (and Dixie despite being an adult) are kinda stuck cause their parents are involved now as it’s clear how much they want fame and money at the exspences of their daughters

[@Starburst514]

@@thelonleyUchiha1 Yeah excatly! Even more sad, I felt so bad for them, I mean they're just normal kids being pushed into it

[@rainyweekend7210]

I was never too familiar with the old hype house but at least could recognize a good portion of the members because they were constantly in the news. Now, there’s barely anyone I can say I’ve ever heard of and I think that’s so indicative of the current social media space. An overflow of supply with a lack of demand. It’s such an unsustainable model it’s crazy and I’m honestly shocked that house still exists. Especially considering a lot of the members just blatantly refuse to do their jobs. I think I’d go crazy if I was Petrou.

[@Ri_fc]

I’m in the school of thought that they had to play up the lack of plot and storyline between larray and nikita bc two hype house members are in like a SA scandal so they didn’t include them in the series

[@TheSimplyCooking]

I think you would enjoy the Candis and Andy Meredith Drama, the home makeover couple under the Magnolia umbrella that basically committed fraud. Could maybe be a fun video idea.

[@hatarlera]

Who's candis?

[@kir-is-here]

i just read about this and it’s WILD ty for commenting about it!

[@chrismonterrosa1127]

A part of me suspects that Casey secretly likes these shows and that lowkey scares me

[@Kaastengels]

I'm just baffled.. How did the mansion not invested with rats yet

[@oolongtea4013]

this is a very very thorough criticism and i appreciate how u didnt write it off for simply being a reality tv show. amazing job!!!

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

I was surprised that every interaction they have with each other they have to film and not just hang out

[@thelonleyUchiha1]

I like how there was an article that came out recently with some of the members admitting they made some storylines up for the show which, not shocking a lot of reality shows do that, but that makes it more sad cause whoever was in charge of making them up...kinda did a crappy job of I’m being honest...pretty lazy job imo but I’m not shocked lol

[@caseyrichardson6941]

Perfect timing I’m about to eat lunch. I’ve been waiting for you to make a video about this.

[@caseyaonso4270]

omg name twin enjoy ur lunch 😌

[@studybuddy.]

$80000 is more than most people make in a year. This is horrific.

[@angelelma8171]

Thank you for not defaulting to the cringe factor. This is the first actual take I've heard on the show. It's unfortunate, but I feel like these content creators would benefit from being more open about the stress in a way that they don't profit from their breakdown or serious conversations. Social media has been terrible lately because the people on our front pages are so money-obsessed that it ruins what their followers came for in the first place. I don't really blame these people for behaving the way they do on social media (barring the obvious morally unsound decisions). It's really just pitiful. And it won't change anytime soon because it's clearly working. They have followers and views and sponsorships, so why stop?

[@ariahyearwood9979]

I honestly feel so bad for Thomas like he trying so hard and their all just using him

[@stephenstrange4245]

I don't understand what Californians mean when they say they're going to the desert. Is it like camping? Do they pitch tents? Is there stuff to see or do they just sit in the sand?

[@soph_maz]

influencers want to be celebrities but they aren’t and they need to realize it

[@ellapatterson8975]

I def agree w the critiques you’re making and would be interested to hear your thoughts on the d’amelio show ! i’ve only watched a few episodes but I feel like it explored the burnout of creators and their interior lives in a much stronger way

[@lolapeet9281]

If you haven't already, watch Drew Gooden's video on the d'amelio show. He's really thoughtful and kind towards the kids

[@janellefrickert6522]

This hair color looks really good on you!!

[@MintyVoid]

hard to tackle something like creating a health work to life balance when you don't know what that is. No one is taught how to do anything in the 'adult world', we are so ill prepared on a physical an mental level it's redonk. It leads to a majority of adults being emotionally immature and being less skilled in critical thinking, two things that are so fucking important and effect arguably every aspect of a persons life. We still don't have 'regular' jobs functioning to support its workers, so the crazy increase of these new ones over the course of these past 10ish years has just further made the issue of my point before not only more highlighted but worse. Right back to 'suck it up so you don't lose your home' instead of actual support and safety.

[@queentrinicorn9441]

It’s giving ✨ late-stage capitalism ✨

[@psychomaia]

I appreciate this comment.

[@swaatikgmez]

netflix cancelled shows like anne with an e or societyfor tis shit.. uhmm????

[@imjustdandy9799]

So lemme get this straight, Nikita thinks that people will hold her to a lower standard...if she looks black...got it.

[@breakerempathetic8757]

omg? casey youre always so beautiful but today you're just?? ethereal?? did you do something new with your hair or makeup? you look absolutely stunning!!

[@giraffe7604]

post-upload twitch discussion when!? this show was depressing to me because it shows how little most of these kids think about fame, so they either get bogged down in sponsorships or try out music which isn't any safer of a career path! it's basically magcon all over again and it's wild to me that this will continue to happen in perpetuity.

[@Cat-fe1fg]

When I saw it on Netflix I went on a rant to my partner about Nikita and everyone else's (that I knew) controversies. Glad I can get a recap without having to watch it myself 😂 you're so strong

[@stink..]

I was cringing when chase was acting like it’s such a burden to film a sponsored tiktok while he’s just chilling and doing nothing in his giant mansion

[@joysemple7253]

this a super good take on what’s underdocumented and should have been taken more seriously and why. I couldn’t have put up with watching this but I totally agree with everything you’re saying. Especially about creator stress and burnout, even when it has to do with these kids who not a lot of ppl care about as ppl.

[@aleisterlilywhite1109]

I don’t think anyone came off looking particularly bad, they’re just young people doing young people things. Making dumb mistakes and figuring themselves out like everyone does, just with more money and more cameras.

[@espeon871]

Minus the partying during the pandemic yeah true, also your pfp is really pretty, you’re really pretty

[@lunamoon6390]

larray and chase being came off as assholes imo but it could be the editing so

[@gab.bee123]

gonna just go ahead and parrot other comments and say how great this video is. it's always refreshing to see other creators look at the tiktok crew with empathy and nuance rather than just sticking to the "haha tiktok is so cringe" viewpoint that seemingly abandons the idea that these teens and twentysomethings are people first. not always the most responsible or respectful people, but still. reminds me of drew gooden's video about the charli d'amelio show

[@ashleybui2923]

"i'm an entrepreneur. i'm such a giver."

[@caseyaonso4270]

nono ME im the bigger giver 😡😡

[@kellihs4649]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Your honesty was refreshing. I was waiting for you to drag them to Hell and back. The compassion was very authentic. Great job.

[@echolittle9068]

thank you for taking one for the team casey. you've done a service that can never be repaid.

[@annabel706]

I think Thomas said that they got their own place at the end lmao not got on a plane 💀💀

[@elmaa5642]

bestie is that carole king's tapestry in the background because if so i must stan

[@bunnyfrosting1744]

Man I’m chronically ill and my disability assistance doesn’t cover necessary surgeries, my teeth need immediate care & the daily pain is changing me as a person. Hearing that they make $80k via sponsors might just be enough to convince me into downloading tiktok ☠️ jfc

[@angelicvega7040]

I was so offended by seeing this show on my recommended. I don’t even watch reality tv and I steer clear of TikTok and this junk on KZbin so I wanted that sh!t off my main page ASAP lol

[@wavy6686]

really liked the way you approached ur commentary about this show. great vid as usual ♥️

[@bigfishboobs]

It finally hit me, you remind me of DJ Tanner

[@kilimanjaro5537]

Omg I see it.

[@ocean4763]

Has anyone actually ever purchased a Bang Energy drink??? Like with their own money?

[@sabinakulagina2594]

i mean it’s an energy drink, it’s always gonna have buyers

[@jaylaoliver6725]

An old coworker would sometimes buy me one and they’re not that bad tbh but energy drinks aren’t my thing so 🤷‍♀️

[@floatingsmiley]

We love the highlights (in your hair). ✨

[@perfectpomegranate8193]

Nothing convinces me more that I live under a rock than the fact I don't recognize the name or face of a single one of these people. Sigh.

I ain’t never seen a more hypeless house

[@Bigsharter]

I’ve just realized that you have zella day in the background, that’s so cool shes one my favorite artists 😭😭

[@beth-bi9yv]

Yeah, I find a lot of these 'documentary ' style tv deep dives don't ask the necessary questions. It's always just a skin deep dive into whatever topic.

[@emmaconlon8825]

thank you for watching so we don’t have to
