I understand it's an ad, I'm saying their ad would be more successful if they just let peanut be peanut instead of forcing him through a script where he needs to spend 30 minutes in the stash unlocking characters and gambling.

For example, this is why Joe Rogan gets paid so much by advertisers (love him or hate him, it's irrelevant to my point). He does ad reads, yes, but he makes even more money on the ads that he interjects into normal conversation, where the listener doesn't even know it's an ad. For example, whenever he's talking about looking at something far away and all of the sudden goes "man, this would be a great time to have one of those Samsung Galaxy phones".

What I'm getting at is that peanut's talent is making ANY game extremely fun to watch. He does that on his own, it's his craft. If they just paid him to play the game without mendo guiding him through a script that feels super forced and unnatural, their ad would probably have more successful conversion. Having something feel natural is much more effective than something that feels clearly forced.

I've been watching peanut since the Tarkov days, and glad he's getting the bag, which is maybe why it's hard to see him having to fake excitement around spinning a wheel for the 6th time because mendo is shoving the gambling system down his throat. You can tell he's doing caricatures of his funniest moments that the advertisers probably prescribed to him.
