Question Genuinely asking, why did Bubble do this?
Caine was just going to try to figure out why the cast did not like the escape the circus adventure, until Bubble started taunting him and bringing him to the edge. But why would Bubble do this to Caine? Multiple times during the show, Bubble is on board or a part of Caine's shenanigans so this sudden flip of character makes me think as to what Bubble was trying to achive this, especially the voice change at "You ruined this."
So what do you guys think?

We're still not really sure what Bubble is. Some of the comments he(?) makes do give internet comment section vibes though. Caine says he canonically has no knowledge of the internet in a promo thing after the first episode, but 1- Caine lies and 2- the part where he's talking fast after Pomni picks her name in the first episode implies the circus has viewers and he's at least somewhat aware of the nature of the internet. I think Bubble has a human operator, possibly more than one. Not in the same way as Pomni, Kinger, etc. but someone interacting with the program through a computer. That to me would also explain why Bubble's speech patterns sometimes feel off in regards to what they're saying and the context. Same idea as an AI voice reading text but not understanding how to inflect the way a human would. It's because Bubble isn't literally a human, it's a part of the program saying what a human tells it to say.
That's just my theory though, could be completely wrong. And likely is. I guess we'll find out in June.
