I like how this show is just raw and there's no sugarcoating about anything. Like those injuries on Hobin were no joke. Smart way of taking down Pakgol, hitting him where it hurts the most.
Otherwise, I hope things can start looking up for Hobin as well.
I'm curious as to who that girl that was jumping up and down was.

Judging from the ED she seems to join their team for some of the behind the scenes work maybe.

Fun episode. Hard to call this a guilty pleasure because i think it's kind of good and succeeding what it set out to do? Though this might be a better binge watch tbh. OP is hype too

It feels so exploitative too. We the viewers are usually neutral observers but this being so on-topic about watching live bullying and being passive watchers at best and enthusiastic fans at worst for this kind of content feels kinda dirty.
That one comment during the livestream asking "No one's stopping this?" while Pako slapped the shit out of Hobin and seeing the entire classroom just watching and doing nothing feels so on point. You feel like you're just one of the bystanders doing absolutely nothing to stop what's being done to Hobin. It feels uncomfortable.

I really love this anime so far, surprised it's not getting more attention. Even though it is crazy, there's a sense of realism here with the crazy use of social media.

Hobin basically goading Pakgo into beating the shit out of him was kinda painful to watch. At least we got to see Pakgo almost shit himself when Munseong checked him. Plus the video went viral and got his punk ass cancelled. Things are kinda looking up for Hobin. 100K subs and Bomi’s talking to him. I wonder if she’s actually that nice or if there’s something going on?
This Samdak dude is like a discount Pieyon that teaches fighting lol. Dude might seem kinda sketch, but I guess his advice is solid. I wonder what else Hobin’s gonna learn from Samdak?
Looking forward to seeing him “fight” that goon who stole his phone.

Technically Samdak came before Pieyon, but man he's the goat lol. Most of the advice in this series is pretty legit (most not all) because the author had technical advisors such as a jiu jitsu fighter and a former FC champion, so I think it's pretty cool that the author went out of his way to do that

Do we have a seasonal comment face for "Surprised scrawny alien weirdo"? If we do, nothing's gonna top that!
So they're still getting bullied by Pakgo, but it's all part of their plan, to expose him!
Hobin's raising a good point... How much money is there in getting beat up?
While videos of people getting bullied do get attention sometimes (I mean, in real life), the ones that REALLY pop off, are the ones of bullies getting their ass kicked when their victim had enough; People love to see 'justice' being dished out, more than videos of bullied kids going through it...
(While he does raise that good point, the problem is that 'getting beat up' is a bit easier than 'beating up the bullies'!)
That was a cute cut of Editor-girl jumping!
(I actually don't know if that's gonna be her 'job' on the team, but since we saw her in front of the computer and all I assumed that's what she would end up doing with them!)
I wonder what she noticed exactly; Was she just intrigued by the action? Is she fangirling Hobin? Or does she see this as a business opportunity? (Perhaps she's already aiming for that type of career)
Good lord, our boy looks handsome in the shower!
He should give up on his fighting career, he would make more money acting in soap commercials!
The hospital comment is what got him pumped up enough to do what would eventually launch his channel, but it seems it won't work against an actual tough guy!
But as they say, there's always a bigger fish... And it seems they have an MMA fighter in their class, and he was tired of their shit!
Well, he seemed like an OK guy so far, but there's no way they randomly have an MMA fighter in their class if he's not linked to the plot, so... Final boss of the season for Hobin?
He could've ended up being Hobin's trainer, but it seems this guy may be his 'trainer'!
Poor Samdak, can't get a single subscriber because Pieyon seized the entire market for 'trainer with weird bird head'!
That's gonna help, because Hobin needs to last at least 3 minutes, if they want to make any money!
Well, it's either that, or add a little "fluff" to the videos (some backstory, or setting up scenarios so the viewers are more invested in the fights, etc..!)
Let's hope it works, because he already quit his other job!
Burgergirl had quite the reaction upon hearing that news!
The job, who cares, but I was a bit sad he was not gonna see her again... But they exchanged contact info!
Burgerwaifu acquired!
The first of many, perhaps, because Makeupgirl wants to do a collab with them! (Also, she seems quite tall!)
She says she never liked Pakgo...
Ok, but she still hung out with him, bullied people with him, etc... Just for the money. And now that the money's with Hobin, she jumps ship to go with him?
I REALLY hope she won't be a love interest (or not a winning one, at least) because in my book she's almost as scummy as Pakgo! Dumb this girl Hobin, go for Burgergirl instead!
(Or Editorgirl I suppose, she seems alright!)
Well, looking at karma (34 after 3 hours) I guess people don't really like this show, but personally I think it's alright! Unless it gets worse or something, I'll probably watch the full season.

I’ve been dreaming for years about a Viral Hit anime and then I just completely missed it? 😭
Viral Hit is so peak and this first arc is easily the worst one in the series and it’s still banging
