I kept reading comments about him trying to lose weight a few months ago, but all i saw were his usual videos so i thought he was struggling. Kinda lost interest after that whoa

Must admit, did not see that coming at all. I hate the feeling of having been played but I love the twist. Respect.

can someone ELI5?

i just know Nick Avocado was the one who got like morbidly obese filming mukbang vids and was kinda... sad to see. the whole discussion on the things people do to themselves for fame or whatever. what's this thing about him losing weight recently? parang may bigger drama or something to it that i'm missing?

anondrogynous: long story short: all his content from the past two years were banked content, in which all the time everyone would perpetuate pity talks about him, all while behind the scenes he was losing weight.

Hmmm ok so social experiment. For what other purpose besides views? Though I'm glad he's actually healthy, Bro still almost borderline died from the stunt.

I'm not sure that I understand how it was an experiment, in the sense that it's already well-established that people behave terribly on the Internet and that online outrage has become its own economy. It also kind of reminds me of what a makeup influencer did a while ago:How I Convinced the World I F**ked Up My Face
