Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The dude seems like a nutjob but I'm happy for him that he lost the weight! And hopeful that now the entire dogshit youtuber ecosystem that fed off him will stop 🤞🤞

This guy is the greatest hater baiter on youtube.

His speech can’t be real. No one is actually that self-unaware. It sounds like a 14yr old edgleord from 4chan who legitimately believes he is the smartest person in the room

After I read that I realised he's been consumed by the attention and is just talking like a douchebag who thinks he's in control

I'll never watch/read anything about him again

All I knew was that he was a drama llama for clicks that was eating himself to death. Glad to hear he's lost all that weight.

I'm pretty sure he just hams it up for the camera. I've seen some other, "normal" videos with him and he seems like a mostly normal guy, personality-wise. He's not as flamboyant as his on-screen persona.

I subscribe to YMS's theory that he had a body destruction fetish sugar daddy. Maybe the sugar daddy left or this will become part of a cycle. Don't really care that much to actually look any further.

Also, has anyone else ever called him a villain before? That's a new one for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

That's because he's pandering directly to 14yr old edgelords, the only people who know who the fuck he is, or care.

It's obviously a persona for the videos. And it clearly works, seeing the view counts.

idk I think Machiavellian speeches are fun, in particular if the topic is not about actually hurting anyone

“People consuming anything that they”re told to consume... so, I am the villain because I’ve made myself one. And you will continue to consume these stories about me. Year after year, after year, for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger, and infect the minds of the ants. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. You are the ants,” he said.

Me: "Who?"

What? Mostly Why though. IDGAF about Where nor How in this specific case, I'm just so confused.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

I have no idea who this geezer is and I hope it stays that way.

At the risk of sounding dismissive, I lost interest when he threw out the "social experiment" bullshit and his credibility went down the toilet with it.

Good on the dude for losing the beef though. Regardless of who you are, it takes balls and it takes effort.

Can someone fill me in because I don't want to watch the video. I remember a few years ago, people were really concerned for his mental and physical health because of his binge eating and deteriorating relationships. Did he lose the weight and also get excess skin removal surgery? Cause it looks that way from the photo. How long ago was he morbidly obese?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Supposedly the last 2 years he's been losing weight and he pre-recorded 2 years worth of videos he's been putting out until 7 months ago

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Or he got liposuction a couple of months ago and is lying.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Guy seems like he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder (or maybe his character does?), but hey, congrats on the weight loss. That's a hell of a transformation.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So, a YouTuber pulled a fat Mac?

I know the rest of the comments here are all really negative but I want to bring some positivity.

I'm so happy for him that he's lost all that weight. That's an incredible achievement.

Also, it's one of the craziest swerves of all time on YouTube. Dude was one of the biggest lolcows on the internet. I'm sure several drama YouTubers had to trash videos. Like, even just a week ago he released a video where everyone was like, "he's gonna die any day". And he was just losing weight this whole time and he had that much of a backlog of videos. That's unhinged but in the best possible way. I'm just happy and impressed for him.
