a youtuber has managed to fool the whole world.

this guy is known as avocado guy. he is a food blogger. due to long-term overeating, his weight once reached 370 kilograms.

he is definitely one of the fattest guys you will ever meet.

a while ago, he updated his secondary account and pretended to eat several boxes of noodles in one breath and crammed hamburgers and other high-calorie foods. he was definitely a fat man.

but, right after this video, he suddenly updated another video titled "two steps ahead".

everything you have seen in the past two years is fake.

the videos updated in the past two years are all pre-recorded stocks, and the complaints in the videos about failed weight loss are all lies, just to make netizens continue to be disappointed in him. he has been losing weight secretly in the past two years and has lost more than 200 pounds. now his weight has returned to the weight before he started eating broadcasting, 142 pounds.

he called this deliberate "scam" a social experiment, because it predicted the changes in human nature, traffic flow and netizens' comments, so it was two steps ahead.

"overnight", he went from being severely obese to being thin. the dramatic plot made this video go viral. it has been viewed over 30 million times. some netizens commented:this is definitely a video that will go down in youtube history!

at first glance, this incident seems very cool and interesting. a lot of people praised the avocado guy's amazing operation, and it also brought up the popularity of the eating show itself.

but, out of curiosity,i reviewed the avocado man's eating broadcast journey, but found that,the reason why he is so capricious is not because he is a genius, but because the food broadcasting track may be one of the shortest-lived industries on the internet.

internet food broadcasting originated in 2014, which is 10 years ago.

eating broadcast videos first emerged in south korea. most of them were good-looking young people who would broadcast their eating in front of the camera, eating home-cooked meals and occasionally chatting. at the time, this form of eating was called "mukbang" by koreans.

the characteristic of this form is that the threshold is extremely low.

all you need is some food and a stomach, and it will soon become popular around the world.

food is the simplest and most basic need of human beings. the host's relish in eating and the sound of chewing food instantly draw the audience into the scene of enjoying food, and feel the satisfaction of food through the screen. "watching them eat, you don't seem to be so hungry anymore."

many people who are temporarily unable to enjoy food, those who eat takeout in the office from 9 to 5, those who are losing weight and exercising, and those who are fasting due to physical problems such as obesity, rely on these videos to complete another kind of "eating".

but unlike in the past, when transportation and mail were slow, now the internet makes everything fast, and a month is enough for you to get tired of the world.

the more popular a track is, the more people will flock to it, and the harder it will be for those who want to stand out. if you want to quickly gain attention and accumulate fans,the only option is to take extreme measures that break the routine, the most common of which is binge eating.

in the early days, avocado guy was a thin man weighing about 100 pounds and a vegetarian. he initially ate healthy foods such as avocados. his video was not very popular until one day, when he announced that he would no longer be a vegetarian.

such a contrasting transformation instantly attracted a lot of attention to him and won him extremely high popularity.

so, he continued to create based on this character, such as the first time a vegetarian ate eggs, the first time a vegetarian ate fish, and other such content was continuously produced.

as he tried more things, he found that there seemed to be no discussion about foods like cereal, milk, salad, and candy.the more you eat, and the more unhealthy you eat, the greater your flow.

so he began his journey of overeating.

at first, he tried to eat high-calorie foods, stuffing pizza, hamburgers and other foods into his mouth. later, the amount of food on the table increased until it became a small mountain.

later on, you could see him wolfing down noodles, swallowing a fist-sized bowl of noodles in one gulp, and eating a few days' worth of noodles in one sitting.

the horrific amount of food he eats and the exaggerated weight made many people leave messages in the video, "brother, don't eat yourself to death."

once the traffic password is discovered, people will rush to imitate it.

for a long time, binge eating has been the main theme of food broadcasts.

brother benz, nicknamed the mouth of the abyss, not only has an appetite far beyond that of ordinary people, but also each bite is huge. every time he eats noodles on live broadcast, he finishes the whole bowl with one slurp.

people who love healthy eating often use the number of calories they consume per day as one of their health criteria, and this habit is also followed by big eaters.

they challenged one person to eat eight servings and one person to eat twelve servings, and each time they would mark the calories of the meal.

a food blogger, sanghyuk, initially challenged himself to eat 4,000 calories in 8 minutes, and later changed it to a challenge of 15,000 calories a day.

according to the recommendations of health experts, an adult male working in an office should consume around 2,500 calories per day. in other words, this big eater consumes six times the recommended calories in one meal.

when "big eaters" are commonplace and even cause aesthetic fatigue, when consuming 15,000 calories a day becomes a regular challenge, and when everyone's subject matter and shooting techniques are becoming more and more similar, what exactly can be done to "do what others cannot"?

in order to find the answer, people decided to break through themselves again, and the eating show went from "eating deliciously" to "how much to eat", and finally to the courage challenge.

the "brave" ones first enjoy the extremely greasy pork belly and then eat the hot pot base directly.

because the anchor did not feel anything unusual after eating a packet of hot pot base raw, he successfully attracted a lot of attention. spicy hot pot base became a popular food in the food broadcasting circle.

traffic is like an invisible hand, instigating food bloggers to walk towards a path of no return.

some people began to try the turkey noodles which are famous for their spiciness. these noodles, which are so spicy that ordinary people would find them too spicy after just one bite, were served on camera. the anchors even drank the sauce. some even "complained" that it was not spicy enough and used three or five packets of seasoning at a time.

for example, @西瓜哥 often challenges himself to eat extremely spicy food. after eating, his face becomes red and hot due to the spiciness, and the crystal pendant hangs on his face.

netizens joked in the comment section, "it's almost self-abuse", "do you hate yourself?" some netizens even cut it into emoticons and posted it in the comment section, but he still said in the video that "it's not spicy" and "i feel uncomfortable if i don't eat spicy food for a day."

some people challenge the limits, some challenge scarcity. artificially farmed ostriches, giant salamanders, crocodiles, etc., these ingredients that ordinary people cannot access are also made into traffic codes.

however, in a video of him eating "artificially farmed" sharks, it was revealed that this anchor who loves to eat exotic delicacies used wild sharks, which are protected animals, and he may face a sentence of more than 10 years.

under the related hot searches, netizens used the classic lines from her video to make fun of her, "there's oil in it, there's sharks in it, and finally the police will put you in jail."

the continuous upgrading of the industry's activities and the continuous improvement of the form and content of eating broadcasts are constantly impacting the predecessors in the eating broadcast industry.

during this process, the avocado guy ate more and more, and became more and more collapsed.

this kind of collapse is physically and mentally exhausting.

on the one hand, while becoming a famous internet celebrity by broadcasting his food, avocado boy's body also kept sending out warnings. he had to take a long time to catch his breath when taking a shower, his heart was under great pressure, and he even broke three ribs from coughing.

on the other hand, his mental state is also difficult to judge. he would suddenly dump the noodles on his face while eating, covering his face with sauce. another time, he started dancing while eating and ended up dumping the whole bowl of noodles on his head. the trigger for these breakdowns was often just because the food fell.

someone in the comment section asked him to look at himself a few years ago and told him to take a rest.

but more people laughed heartily and said in the comment section - brother, you are alive.

in the beginning, people were hungry for delicious food because food is the most basic need for human survival and the source of power for the body.for the sake of economic gain, priorities are reversed and the body becomes a container for food.

at the same time, through extreme eating, the anchor keeps his body in a state of trauma for a long time in exchange for traffic and controversy, which is completely unsustainable.

in fact, many of the first batch of food bloggers have already stopped updating.

park su-yeon is one of the first popular food bloggers in south korea. the last time she updated her youtube regularly was 7 years ago.

benz brother stopped updating four years ago, reportedly because of false advertising.

japan's top food blogger, yuka kinoshita, became famous for eating 3 kilograms of fried noodles. a japanese variety show previously studied why she can eat so much. it turned out that after eating more than 100 pieces of sushi, her stomach would expand explosively and even cover other internal organs in her body.

he has not updated his social media account for a long time and recently revealed that he is suffering from severe depression.

in addition, there was a food-broadcasting internet celebrity who was spotted by douban netizens in the hospital for heart problems after he stopped broadcasting. there was also a food-broadcasting internet celebrity who died due to long-term and high-intensity work while shooting a promotional video.

all these have caused a lot of controversy about the health issues of food bloggers:is food broadcasting an industry that exchanges one’s body for money?

looking back now, avocado guy may be the most successful one. he made his first fortune and his health seems to have returned to normal.

the former avocado man, standing in his mansion, looked out and exclaimed: "how interesting! i love to see the poor struggling in dire straits."

what he received was sarcasm and ridicule from netizens: "yeah, we also like watching you struggle in the vortex of obesity."

"brother, don't eat yourself to death."

" nausea" !

however, now his reputation has drifted around the corner and reversed, becoming the most wise and most admirable person on the internet and is extremely popular.

thanks to this dramatic reversal, avocado boy's image has been completely changed. he was an extremely smart person from the beginning, and he has a new body and a new life. his body and spirit have undergone tremendous changes in these two short years, which is extremely exciting.

but how do you know that this is not the new traffic password he found?

the food broadcasting track is particularly vertical. there has been almost no content innovation in the past 2 to 3 years. it’s always the same old routine. it’s dead, it’s over, it’s over.

and this performance of avocado brother may be creating a new way for the eating broadcast track. maybe, i mean maybe,in the future, he will enter the field of fitness and weight loss, and even lose weight and gain weight again repeatedly, treating losing weight with the audience as a labor process.

well, at the end of this reversal video that has been in the works for two years, this guy took out a big bowl of noodles with soybean paste and showed off passionately.

in any case, the internet is a huge stage play and his performance is beautiful.
