Ok you guys,


I've been telling you secretly here that I want to quit mukbangs but I don't know how plus I'm scared to. Especially my top tier levels, I've shown you a lot of horrible health results and vlogs about my body and things happening to me, signs I can't keep eating SHIT...


BUT ya'll know that people watch me for eating shit.... it's the joy, the pleasure, the curiosity, and the entertainment factor--- to see me eat naughty delicious food and get fat from it.


All of you keep saying "we don't watch you for eating, we watch you for the entertainment!!!" And I believe you guys when you say that... I see that in my youtube comments very often...


BUTTTTTT, how many youtube comments do I go on average? 3,000? 4,000? 5,000 on a popular video?? What percent of people is 4,000 out of 200,000 views on a given upload?? Like 2 percent of everybody.

Regardless, I tried giving it a try last night... Doing a mukbang style with Orlin, but not eating it, just entertaining them. 


This is what happened:


Photo #1:

The Views went down, 

The click-through impressions went down

The view duration  wend down (how long they are watching the video) 


Photo #2:

This is a graph that youtube shows me for the last 1 week of uploads. I am consistent in view count every day. Then yesterday day, you can see that the graph drops down by over 100,000 views!! This is because videos FEED off of each other. If a video performs well, youtube recommends old videos of mine to the same viewers. If the video performs poorly, Youtube doesn't recommend old videos to them as a result. It's a snowball affect and that's how an algorithm works. You must continue to produce good content to help spread the old content. 


I just looked through my analytics and I got over 300 comments of people saying "he didn't eat, not worth watching," or "save your time people, he doesn't eat." or "this is unsatisfying to watch your food sit there getting cold."


I have A LOT of food perverts watching me. It probably makes up half of my audience if I were to guess. Yes, crazy ass fucker who wanna watch somebody sit down and chew food on camera. So weird. Again, I understand that most people here are here for ME and who I am as a PERSON, as well as just the entertainment factor... but I hope this shows you ya'll are the minority, and that's what scares me... I feel trapped in a job that required me to be sick.... But it is what it is and it's the genre I chose.... 

Have you noticed that every-time I do a funny skit, troll, acting, new story line, there is STILL lots of eating involved?? I HAVE to combine the two elements for success. 

Anyways, thought I'd share this.

Every time I go LIVESTREAM on here people are begging me to just "stop eating" or "just eat healthy food." I also keep saying in my vlogs, "YOU GUYS I FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA DIE OMG UGHH I WANNA STOP SO SO BADLY!!" But let me tell you guys..... it's not that simple..... because youtube WILL punish me if I quit eating name-brand clickable JUNK that humans are fucking addicted to seeing and that ADVERTISERS are controling. Don't you think fast food brands who put money into youtube are also having their own junk food pushed in the algorithm??? Absolutely. It incentives them to keep spending money into youtube ads.... UGH. Changing a genre is very very difficult and most youtubers can't pull it off. 

I'm on day 2 of my juice cleanse and my goal was to do 7 days. IDK if I can make it without killing my brand. 

I'll be uploading yesterday's "day 1" video for you guys later today.


Thanks for reading and wish me luck . :(

that’s crazy i feel bad for you bc you want to quit and be over this but you literally could be out of a job. i wish i knew what to do it’s almost like selling your soul almost.. i always make sure to watch your videos al the way through and watch the ads so you get that coin, ily

Is there anyway you could post every other day instead of everyday?

You are great whether your eating or just talking... The real fans are the ones who will watch no matter what type of videos you post ❤ love you ❤

I was wondering how these videos did when you opened fan mail? Would it be something to think about getting a PO Box again and throw these videos out to give you a break in eating plus I can finally send you and Orlin something . It’s just a thought . I’m not a pro in this like you so maybe it’s a stupid thing to even mention that!

This is why I created this patreon over the summer because I made a HUGE mistake by putting all my eggs into 1 basket via YouTube. So many other creators had patreons for years and I never did it... Not saying I will rely on Patreon for income the rest of my life, because that is a HUGE RISK TOO!!! I just know I'm not very "employable" now considering what's out there on the internet about me, plus the fact I don't have any degrees. If I fall hard from youtube when it's time to change my content, at least I can have things covered thanks to ALL YOUR SUPPORT, Ugh it's so uncomfortable even writing this because that puts pressure onto people like YOU, and it's just uncomfortable all around. But it's just the truth, this is my life through the eyes of a mukbanger and the dangers it poses.

I love all your vids, I would say it might be because you can tell your abit fed up, and the people who watch purely for entertainment, probably skip through parts if they are just watching for the funny bits xxx

Would it not be possible to post every other day or something? Or film eating the healthier options on the menus? I don’t think any career is worth sacrificing your health for, but I understand the money issue. Whatever you decide to do, your true supporters will behind you

I’m so sorry Nik. I can only imagine how terrifying that must be. We are here for you 💕

You are going to be ok Nik, don’t panic, health wise you probably just need Nexium for reflux (Amazon sell it) and you are a great business man, you will find a way out of this, I know it xxx

Wishing you the best of luck Nick ❤ views are NOT worth dying over.. I know its hard to create change when something is working for you but thats what life is all about. This change will help you grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Fuck those weird food perverts, they would love to watch u die, don't give in to it. Wish I could be your friend and help out. You're so funny and smart and I like u for who YOU are... not the foods you eat.

Also, good luck with your juice cleanse ❤️ if you feel better health wise you'll feel more enthusiastic and enjoy your videos more ❤️and I'm sure it'll reflect in your views, not that you need any help with that! You're an Internet / youtube sensation, don't be so critical of yourself ❤️

“Food perverts” 😂 I’m sorry though Nick, you’re really stuck between a rock and a hard place. I hope you can find a balance that ends up working for you, I’ll keep watching either way.

Nik you may well lose one audience to gain another. Not everyone is going to support you and it may take time. At the moment I am loving you’re skits when you do things and less about your eating, I just tend to watch you. However I understand i am not everyone. However you need to do whats right for you, whats better making money or dying or getting to a point that you are unable to pull yourself back from. Money can always be made you’re health cant. I know losing views is scary but you may pick up a new audience that is interesting in the weight lose side of your journey like the guy on tik tok. Finally you have to realise life is about change staying the same is accepting death you can only live through change.

It makes me think of Chelcie and what happened to her recently, she dared to change the format (plus she charged per view) and she got a lot of hate and Chelcie NEVER gets hate ...you both get watched as stress reducers and somehow it’s comforting watching people eat...if you are going to change the format do it v gradual Nik, people are so fickle Xx could you get more sponsorships like Chelcie with Adam and Eve etc xx

If advice and perspective is what you're after: I'd focus on what inspires me and not the end result. By focusing on money, views, ect you're focused on the end -result and letting that dictate how you live. Instead, you could do what inspires you and let the end result be whatever it ends up being. It might be fewer views and YouTube money but who's to say that the next way to make money is less satisfying than this? It's a limiting belief to tell yourself that you have to do things a certain way instead of taking the plunge into the unknown. You're in your 20s with your whole life ahead of you so why paint yourself into a corner where this is the only way to live and make money when you can just make it into whatever inspires you and the way you make money can just be whatever? Furthermore, if this wrecks your health, you'll have to stop anyways AND you might be so debilitated by the effects of your GI problems that you wouldn't be able to have a different money-making job in which case you might have wished you quit while you were ahead and wouldn't be better off. If you keep doing this but it's hurting you, it won't last long enough to be a career anyways, just another year? So then what? You'd be back in the same place you are now, wondering how to make money without your health instead of with whatever bit of heath remains. The answer is pretty clear, quit muckbangs now voluntarily with some health and physical ability to work, or get forced to quit muckbangs later with no health and physical ability to have a different line of income. I'd quit while I'm ahead, be unafraid to take the plunge into the unknown, and be curious and optimistic about what new things it'd make room for.

Nick please read this. I believe you that probably half your audience watches for food but this is the thing... If you're going to switch content there's going to be a middle period where the people who watch for food will stop watching BUT then you will start to get an UPTICK of people who are drawn to you for the new content you put out who weren't into the food. Its going to take a little bit for the new people to notice and you have to push through the scary part where it seems like its going badly. Also if you switch you should do it all the way dont bring out food if you're not going to eat it because ppl will feel fooled like they thought they were getting eating because there's food involved plus they will see it as wasteful. If you want to try veering away from food you should try it for a longer period of time even though it's scary and not involve food that doesn't get eaten. That is my opinion not a fact or anything but I feel like its good advice. I understand what you're saying and its a tough situation. I hope you find a solution xoxoxox

You could pivot toward your health journey and I think a lot of people would watch because a lot of people don't think you could do it. I think a lot of people mostly like the drama aspect of your videos, like the skits. Is there a video where you've just done the skits and it's done poorly? I've also noticed that YT only sometimes recommends your old videos to me under your new videos. Very interesting. The GI issues need to be addressed for sure. I was diagnosed with GERD years ago and had really bad pain like you described in your recent vid. You don't want to wait til it's too late to reverse these health issues!

I agree with people watching for drama and skits. I think a video with skits like the walmart stuff would do well

I realized I should probably give some background info to show where I'm coming from since I'm a total stranger on the Internet. When I was working on my degree, I realized that I was most inspired by analyzing data, but I never passed pre-calculus in high school so I didn't think it was 'safe' to try to extend my degree by working through years of math as an undergrad. I thought it would be 'safer' to study technology because I already did some of the prereqs for it and it would make good money and be easy to get a job after I graduate, and *then* when I'm working full time and making good money, *then* I could do what I enjoy. Well, I was miserable studying technology. Drained, burnt out, ran myself into the ground. My health, emotional state, mental state, and everything has suffered and I'm still not back to normal. I stayed up past 2 in the morning trying to get an internship in my field night after night and couldn't. Then after I graduated summa cum laude, in June 2019 I couldn't find a job in my field nor would grocery stores or computer stores give me the time of day. Now we have a pandemic ruining my job search even more and since I'm immunodeficient, I can't even get a customer service job. This was the end-result of choosing the 'safe route'; it's been anything but prosperous or a good stepping stone. If I would have gone the 'risky route' and said to hell with what happens, I'm going to do what inspires me, maybe I'd have even more student loan debt, maybe my job search would be just as bad. But at least I would have not spent 2 years having the soul sucked out of me. At least I could have had emotional fulfillment for 2 years instead of draining crap that did me no good. THIS is why I'm a proponent of not focusing on the end result (that's out of your control) and just doing what inspires you; it's not because I'm in such a great position that I don't understand being in a financial and employment hell-hole, but because 'doing the right/safe things' doesn't guarantee you shit so if you end up with shit as an outcome, you may as well just do what fulfills you because you'd have the fun and fulfillment to show for it instead of being drained, chewed up and spit out.

I think you can eat less during a mukbang. I know you already do and I think it's fine. Take a bite out of stuff but don't eat all of it. It's a waste but the food gets made anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You can also start more exercise. Maybe you can get some tips from Erik the Electric?

This is a very ugly situation.... I hope you can figure out the best possible way

What if you combine the junk food settings with vegetables? So it's not only bad stuff...

Hi ❤️, I'm sorry that your having to put your health on the line for some sick and disturbing people. You should not have to continue to eat the way you do and it affect your health. I'm going to be thinking of ideas for you to try. I know making a huge change may not go over so well, because let's face it people love misery. Sad but true, but you have us and we will help you get through this.

Nick in the end you have to do what is best for you. I see what your saying and I do understand, but you really need to decide if this youtube life is worth your health.

Can you do a few reaction videos to some of your more well received videos until you get through your cleanse?

Maybe you can do a weight loss journey. Vlogging you shopping, exercising, the highs and lows. Honestly idk but I wish you nothing but happiness. I came to patron because I love the real you, the real person. Whatever you choose we all support you.

So I’ve been thinking about this and the video is down 59% but could it just be one of those weeks where people are distracted because x, y whatever the election they’re distracted and not on YouTube as much. The reason I say that is because according to the title one would think you’re eating the food which means that the would still be there but the duration or click through rate would be higher .. shouldn’t it be flipped if people were leaving the video because they’re upset you’re not eating the junk food? Because from first impression I would think, “nik is having a cheat day and eating chick fila” so people would, (if they’re on you tube) still be clicking on it just the same and it would take them a while to realize you’re not really eating which means they would have to watch at least 5-10 minutes of the video (with intro.) I just think there’s too much happening right now with the election, first week in office, covid , the vaccine just everything under the sun and people are on YouTube less right now.

I would just give it some time and they’ll be back up.

Hi Nick, I just came across a site "45 Mukbang Youtube channels to follow in 2021" and you are on the list! Right above Stephanie Soo, lol!! But you are on the must follow list. :-)

I think you should start your weight loss journey now. Take the initial hit to your views/finances. You will generate a new audience as your weight drops. The weight loss industry is HUGE. You can write books, sell recipe books, etc. Some people are desperate to find a solution to losing weight. If you drop the weight, they will be willing to invest in your products. You can expand your business outside of Youtube and still have an audience here that loves you for more than just what you eat. ❤️

Honestly my husband and I watch for both you're fun to watch so entertaining but we love watching you eat! Maybe don't eat as much? Instead of $100 worth of food every video be like steven sushi eat a normal amount but please don't make make 7-12 minute videos like him!

I truly watch you bc I love hearing you talk. My fav videos are when we get to the see the real nik. This must be so difficult. Sending you lots of love.

We can tell you have worn yourself thin. If you loose your health you won't be able to do anything. You do what you need to do. Period

I think there are a lot of people who watch just to see what your up too and listen to you or both of you chat. You could eat healthy or whatever you want. I'd be interested in more of you guys talking about Colombia days and old videos with you or both of you reacting. Really liked the one you did awhile back. Or even watching other you tubers.

Sounds like you're going to have to take a hit one way or the other, but that you know which one you'd rather take. Don't know how much money you'd be losing, but you guys might be happier living in squalor, eating bananas, and having your health rather than getting worse so weirdos and perverts watch longer. It must be frustrating to get the same kind of feedback over and over, like, "Oh, just do this," or "Just do that," from people who don't have to suffer through the outcome of whatever decision you make. I'm rooting for you. You're in a tough spot where whatever you choose you're going to loose something. But you probably know full well what you'd rather give up. <3

I get Nick I am a much much much smaller content creator. But people only watch me if I'm half naked and drunk off my a$$. Now I have really bad ulcers that I need to clear up and fatty liver diesease. But "they" don't care. All they want is to see is a train wreck. I hope you are able to find ur peace ❤❤. Not going to lie tho you and Orlin be funny as hell tho.. But I would watch y'all silly selves without the food. ❤💖

I watch you simply for you. It is sick how many nasty comments there are in YouTube, so it makes me happy you have this site to lean back on 💞 but as far this, do what you wanna do for yourself. The people who love you and watch you for you will continue too, you can still do mukbangs just of what you eat now, I’m sure whatever you have in mind they’ll watch & we in patreon will too! ❤️ There’s other challenges without food, or other content you and orlin or yourself can do without the food. You don’t deserve the hate you get but you do deserve to live your life how you want and post what you want.

This broke my heart. I've been watching you since you started and honestly, I would know you had these issues without you telling us here. Its scary, i know this is how you make a living. You can just tell an average joe to quit their job. That's not how life works. You're a genius when it comes to entertainment Nik, I truly truly believe that you will eventually figure out how to get all the clicks and views during some type of weight loss journey. Never underestimate yourself. Love you always. ❤🥑
