    What the fuck is the fascination with this guy eating himself to death? Who watches it? Why do they watch it? He seems popular enough to be a pretty damn big YouTuber. But it seems really…gross and upsetting.

      His channel is disturbing. Look at the oldest vid on his channel vs the newest. It’s fucked up

        Oh yeah, I’ve seen pictures of him when he first started. It’s—I’m sorry—disgusting and sad. I don’t mean that in like an “overweight people are gross and sad” kind of way. I literally mean that him doing all of this for goddamn YouTube views (and yes, probably an assload of money) while being overtly gross is just pathetic and weird.

      It isn’t even just him. Mukbangs or however they’re spelled are huge on social media. I don’t get it, I love food and watch street food videos often as background but I don’t understand wanting to watch someone else eat insane amounts of food. At least with street food videos you’re only watching as someone prepares some good looking food, and for me, I use it to get new recipes or ideas for stuff to cook.

    Faith, Hope, Love, Purpose. Any single one of those things is just enough motivation to keep someone from taking their own life.

    If you ever feel like you’ve lost all of the above, please do me a favor and at least talk to someone about it first. You’ve got nothing to lose but time. And who knows, maybe talking about it can get you through for one more day.

    And sometimes, that’s enough.
