This is very disappointing. The garden system was clearly working and then they have this completely unrealistic person show up just so the MC can rebel against it. Guppy would be constantly surveiled as well so even outside the view of his personal stream people would just see he's a scumbag.

I would honestly live in the garden system if it is how it's initially presented.

two chapters in and Yuutaro just did what everyone in the service industry dream of: punching a rude customer

"unrealistic" lol, try browsing the Japanese side of the internet. There's an infinite amount of morons who would just tell the most obvious lie and retards will follow for fun. Imagine if 4ch dwellers don't contain their brainrot on the site and instead spreads it everywhere, you get Japanese Twitter trolls.
Sure, you could argue the vast majority would agree these people are horrible and deserve the worst rating with this Garden system, but the average person wouldn't go out of their way to search up some bad guy and give a bad rating, they either never see this kind of stuff on their page, or they do see it, but they ignore it and move on, while trolls spam 👌.

When anyone is popular in any capacity there will be people who look into them in search of drama in the same vein. Some guy obviously pressuring girls for sex with his streaming gig would be found out immediately with the garden system and it would spread because taking down someone morally corrupt who got themselves that high would be an entertaining 'justice' to not only witness but participate in. The fact hecs that high ranking an adult is another violation of suspension of disbelief.

Again, go browse Japanese internet.

Bro, you're ignoring the entire premise of the story, constant candid camera.

Is it unrealistic? We don't actually know how the garden system attracts viewers to its cameras. If people can just watch whatever they want, then some cameras will focus on people who want a "real" look at certain industries.

If the enforcement mechanism is weak because they expect people to self-regulate due to being public, then people like this can get away with harrassment and brigading just by fostering an auidence that trusts them over anyone else. Any attempts to "cancel" them are rejected by the core audience so they just keep being an ass to everyday people.

Maybe it's meant to be like the social media environment now where as long as you have enough "clout" from an audience who watches you and as long as that particular audience you have grown approves of your actions then you are powerful.
It's not meant to be like a social media system where the viewers are nationally representative on all the livestreams.
It's only when something high profile happens and you get a general spotlight beyond your specific audience then you're subject to the general standards of society, otherwise having a dedicated audience makes you untouchable

Similar to how if you have a decent sized dedicated audience then you can get them to all mass-report an enemy and often that enemy will have their post deleted or face some sanction just because the social media moderation processes favour going with the majority.
I could imagine in a society like this most people generally behave well because they of the cameras and only a small% of high profile streamers can bend the rules by catering to specific audiences while flying under the radar by only pressuring and bullying nobodies.
but I agree it is in tension with the premise. You would expect a high profile streamer to be afraid of getting exposed and canceled and even if he asked for a date off camera his behaviour on camera is still by normal stndards creepy.
But then again, it reminds me very much of that transgender tiktoker who goes to restaurants and films themselves the whole time then always uploads a video when a waiter or waitress address them as "sir" . They get a lot of backlash but still have quite a lot of viewers.
So maybe it isn't a one to one analogy but I think it still works decently.
