Why are we watching Nikocado Avocado?
I am not a fan of Mukbang channels on YouTube. I find the sounds of slurping and chewing pretty uncomfortable. I am however a fan of drama. I am a 23-year-old man that has developed an addiction to youtube’s famous Nikocado Avocado. He is a Mukbanger. Nik makes youtube videos where he will devour an entire meal for a large family all while never taking a break in between his bites and his rants to maybe think about the vile verbiage he is spewing out into the interwebs. He is married to Orlin and from what the videos portray, they have a very toxic relationship in which they constantly throw food and insults at each other.
The reason for this post is to ponder why I am addicted to his videos. Nik has 5+ channels on which he eats enormous amounts of fast food with views easily going up into the 100K+ on every video. He looked like a very healthy man just a year ago. Now he is obese and both his fans and himself are enjoying the weight gain. He is obviously killing himself at a very fast pace. He gained 30+ pounds in a 4-month time span. What makes him so amusing is not so much his ridiculous meals, but the fact that he seems to be mentally unstable and has a frequent meltdown on every other video. He is the prime example of someone that will do anything for views. If you do not know who he is, please search him on youtube. You will probably come across other youtube channels that are devoted to making compilation videos on his meltdowns. With all this being said, will we be at fault once the inevitable health complications or even worse… death strikes at Niks door? He constantly states that he lived the way he does because we (the viewers) would not watch him if he was eating healthy. He is right. I certainly would not be making a post about him and I certainly would not even know who he is if he was a ‘regular Mukbanger’.
We are helping him into an early grave. My girlfriend asked me the other day: “why do you keep watching him? He is so annoying”. I thought about it for a good minute and I had to be honest about it. I am watching Nikocado Avocado for the sole purpose of seeing what is going to happen to him in the near future. Major health complications are coming his way. He has already lost control of his bowel movements. All that fast food has made him incompetent. He has shared that he frequently sh*ts the bed and has even shown his poop on multiple occasions. I am watching to inevitably see his downfall. The constant fights with Orling and the constant 10,000 calorie challenges combined with his rants and self-assurance that his weight gain is just “water weight” has made me constantly check when a new video is posted. Obviously, a lot of his videos are scripted, but the fact of the matter is that we are the reason Nik is headed to an early grave. For all his real fans out there. Will you have any guilt in your heart when Nik finally is unable to post his daily Mukbangs? I am starting to feel that right now and I don’t like the feeling. I really hope he gets help but at this point, I highly doubt he is going to change his ways.
I hope this post has made you think about your support towards viewing someone that is mentally unstable. Every view reassures a content creator that they are doing something good. Maybe the best way to help someone who is delusional is to stop giving them your view.
