Sure, people brag about getting a good deal, no matter what it is. But it's usually a brag about finding value, a good bang for the buck, not simply paying less for less. Most airbnb brags I hear are similar to: 'I found a fabulous downtown loft with a view of the city for the same price as a vanilla hotel room.' That is quite a bit different than: 'just got a great deal at the Scranton Motel 8 for agreeing to stay in the room with the peep hole.'

I'm just trying to say that the livestreaming part of staying at the hotel will be a whole lot easier to market if it's not something people have to do to get the deal but something they want to do (and is in fact the reason they came there). Otherwise you are just reinventing the timeshare (that shitty meeting our parents had to sit through while we were out skiing). But i concede, the youtube channel will need to be quite popular already.

Honestly, would any of you stay there? It doesn't appeal to me at all; but then again, I don't have an instagram account.

Everyone places a different value on the livestream piece. For most people I'd imagine even $0/night wouldn't be enough to justify the invasion of privacy of being livestreamed. For me personally I don't care as much and think it's a cool concept with no real downside (assuming I don't do anything stupid on the stream I'd later regret, which I think is a fairly low bar), so I'd probably do it for a night if only for the story.
