I used to adore this show. I'd watch it every night with my older brother, mom and dad during dinner, and we'd eat pizza and garlic knots, and it was amazing. But I saw how much things changed drastically. I, personally, have not watched the show in about a year. I'm not sure about my parents. But, the thing is, I've seen how much people have started to dislike this show and what it has brought. I can't really take this by my own word, but I've seen that all of these people are very rude and misunderstanding now, and they're not being very polite to these new entrepreneurs. At first, I thought that these people who were rating the show were lying. But, I've seen many ratings that have the same wording and the same reasons why they don't like it anymore. I'm sincerely disappointed in this show now, but I'll try to write a more valid review once I get back into watching this show. But, I don't ever think that day will come, if I'm being honest.

But I can understand the other side too. ...It hits close to home with the disappointing ,hurt in their eyes and heart. I had a class mate, for15yrs.(same 20 kids Preschool thru graduation!

Trippie App episode response: I watched this episode today as a rerun and was absolutely disgusted with how they treated this young man. I've literally seen every shark tank eposide but this season I'm catching up on reruns and I've seen them praise so many horrible redundant products, products non proprietary with competitors, cry at every back story known to man, applaud people for overcoming adversity, applaud hustle, and gumption of students with less work in than coding a site coming in before they had zero sales and not even a prototype and yet they felt the need to uniquely attack this man even when down. Why? What was so unique to him? See this is the vailed issue with so many in America. It's not seeing the overt subtlety of how we treat young black men period, but even when attempting to become more. Everyone's background story matters but them, other's personal history factors in but theirs, attempts and obstacles but theirs, education or work, work ethic before fruits bare but them. None of that matters, as matter a fact a panel of people that literally ask everyone for their backstory said it didn't matter and essentially he didn't matter as much as others.
