I'm honestly not sure, I think it's actually been tried at this point. There's novelty there, at first, but it has to get boring after awhile. Most people just aren't that interesting, when you get down to it. Not on a constant 24/7 level.

A guy in Japan already try it, with an hotel that was 24/7 streaming everyone even inside the rooms. The streaming revenue was not enough to keep it ans it had to revert to being a normal hotel.

They had a guy volunteer to be in a room for awhile too, he had a hard time of it:

Have you ever watched Jim Carey? Say one thing for Jim Carey. Say he's entertaining.

Have you ever watched Jim Carrey just sleep? How about scrolling the stock market while taking his morning dump? Brushing his teeth?

How much mundane shit does your average person do in a day?

People would die from boredom, watching me browsing Lemmy at work, at home, commuting and while sleeping.

They would love to see me for over an hour writing a comment, just to discard it, then upvote the great comment i wasn't able to write a good response to.

The only one that was really able to entertain me non-stop, was Freddie Mercury.

Edit: not saying Jim Carey isn't entertaining. Jim Carey is absolutely entertaining!

I was saying the parts that started with “say” which I realize now may not have been too obvious
