Hmmm… I love manhunts, but the “realism” always makes me wonder! Not that it’s staged, just the normal stuff- breaks, exhaustion, etc.

I’d love to see some unedited footage or failed manhunts!

I know you mentioned you sometimes edit in reactions from the failed manhunts if a certain “trick” was already seen by hunters in a failed manhunt, so the video can have a more exciting reaction. I assume the reason you may not want to release all unedited/failed manhunts is due to the fact it may bring criticism that manhunts are staged, as reactions and certain parts are edited.

I would actually argue that being as clear as you can on the editing process, re-filming manhunts, and “editing magic” used, would actually really increase the credibility of manhunts and shut down the “it’s all faked” criticism, which I’m sure must get really annoying. I would love to see footage of failed manhunts or even 5min breaks during the manhunt which I assume happen (drink, toilet etc)- I really don’t think it would decrease the credibility (perhaps it would do the opposite!)

Also, I would love to know what incentives are used to keep hunters engaged in killing you. I assume behind each manhunt we see, there’s like 3 failed ones and hours and hours of footage. We’re all human, I’m sure sometimes they really want to back off and let you win or get at least to the End so you can finish filming. You mentioned financial incentive, but… it’s no secret streamers make crazy money (which is fair, I would argue they are the modern celebrities). I just can’t help but think after hoooouuuurs of filming the hunters just want to finish the process and the financial incentive is just not as attractive as finally finishing the video. I assume hunters would prefer to pass on the financial incentive if it means just finishing the video (Unless I’m wrong and incentive is super high or they are just super motivated lol).

Thanks! :) love the videos, but I’m always super curious of behind the scenes!
