not-so-secret confession: i love reality tv. not the kind where scenes are scripted & drama is obviously manufactured, but where viewers get a glimpse into another person's reality.

for our next @unlonely show, i was inspired by nasubi - a record breaking japanese tv show from the 90s where a man was trapped naked in a room for 335 days (!!), and one of the pioneering "livestreamed" shows to 17M engrossed viewers - sans the nudity and psychological damage of being isolated for that long 😅

[LOCKED IN] is our take on this idea. on jan 20th, 3 contestants will be locked in an apartment for 30 days with 24/7 livestreamed security cameras to compete for a $10k cash prize.

how do they win? they fully commit to going tiktok viral. first to 100k followers wins.

LOCK IN 🔒

wasn’t the Japanese show famous for ending up as a dumpster fire? 🫣

tech vs. absurd – You're not real – /sauce – /cto

it was a dumpster fire that caught everyone's attention

but ya i would argue they went too far, tricking someone into being locked in a room by themselves naked for nearly a year lol only in japan
