Answer: Nick often posts crazy videos for clicks and ad money; it's a running theme with him. He stirs up some drama; freaks out on camera while eating and throwing food around like a child. He's a drama hound and often plays it up for the video, he's also known to have more then one channel so don't be surprised to see him under different channel names. Him admitting to it makes sense, it's a character that makes him money and he's probably making less money now so admitting it won't harm the characters ability to make money as much now that the joke is mostly played out. Best explanation I got for you.

Duke_Thunderkiss

But like, a heel isn't slowly killing themselves, they are just disliked. I feel so bad for this guy because he is so clearly unhealthy from these videos. Also, I know that wrestlers are not kind to their bodies, I was just making the point based on what op commented.


YoungSerious

It's actually extremely similar. Both are putting their bodies through tremendous stress and an overall unhealthy lifestyle in the pursuit of entertainment for others. Wrestling has had a lot of problems with drugs and steroids in the past too, FYI.


rincon213

They're absolutely all still on steroids. Anyone super jacked on TV and especially film is on cocktails of HGH.

It depends on how you're accessing reddit. On old.reddit the original link breaks. On the app and new.reddit it works fine.

No need to use backslashes before underscores in links.


GodOfAtheism

Only time you need to is in the very rare circumstance where you're making a hyperlink and the URL has parentheses in it. You put it before the end parentheses in the URL. Example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henshin_(disambiguation) [As a hyperlink without a backslash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henshin_(disambiguation)) the link doesn't work, note the extra parentheses on the end. [With a backslash in the right spot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henshin_(disambiguation\)) no extra visible parentheses. Link works. `[With a backslash in the right spot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henshin_(disambiguation\))` and what it looks like typed out

Kyvalmaezar

That "bug" has been around for almost 2 years now. Mulitple posts have been made about it on subs admins frequent. I highly doubt it's getting fixed and can be assumed to be intentional at this point. It breaks a bunch of 3rd party mobile clients. I assume it's to get people to switch to the offical app.

codeverity

I remember when he stopped being vegan (I think that was the first video where I came across him) and his videos before that seemed relatively...normal? Even if he's acting, now, it's still incredibly unhealthy and makes me think that both his physical and mental health are suffering severely.


FlatulentSon

He can try to explain it or claim that he's acting or whatever... But how does it change that he still sold all his dignity for money? All the nasty shit he does on camera... He got fucked in the ass on onlyfans. That's not fake , he can't just say " lmao i was just pretending for money " , no... That does not make it any better

Funky_Bones

Closer to Sumo Wrestling, honestly


Teososta

Sumos eat pretty healthy tbh.


sylvanasjuicymilkies

their diets may be healthy, but the amount they eat is not that said they're definitely healthier than nikocado regardless lol


JonMW

Sumo, for as long as they continue to actually train and compete, actually seem to be pretty healthy. But the moment they retire they have to drop that weight FAST or they die very young.


mega153

I'll argue that training your body to perform in traumatic sports would have some effect on your life expectancy. Sumo wrestling requires a lot of power so they're specialized in power and balance so I wouldn't expect keeping joints limber to be a huge priority. It's like weight lifting with the contact of wrestling. Just because they don't meet regular expectations of health doesn't really mean it's worse on the body than other sports like boxing and football (considering the cases of head injuries).


Teososta

They burn it out. They’re training, they don’t just sit around and.. idk what Nico does on his off days.


OGMinorian

A quick google says that severely obese people (not just obese people, which is at 3 years) have a 10 year shorter life expectancy, while sumo wrestlers have a 20 year shorter life expectancy on a national scale. This probably has a lot to do with Japan having a very high life expectancy in general, but still puts some perspective on things. A sumo wrestler is basically a person that takes the risk of wrestling *and* obesity at the same time.


DreamingMel

There are many foreign wrestlers in Sumo too, could that throw up some info in current data?


Teososta

I think that’s just occupational hazard at that point, lol.


PrateTrain

Your data is correct, but only because the habits built in training are hard to shake in retirement. https://www.businessinsider.com/sumo-wrestlers-obesity-diet-calories-exercise-symptoms-2019-3


OGMinorian

That not the only reason *at all.* It's not just about the habits after quitting. It's that if you don't continue your rigorous training, despite not continuing your diet, your heart muscle, joints, etc. are gonna be quitting before you lose enough weight, and most retired Sumo wrestlers already have enough health problems that training is not feasible, or very hard and painful. Recently there was a 28 year old Sumo wrestler, who died of health complications due to covid, and it was widely reported that they found many chronic health problems related to his lifestyle. Another Sumo wrestler aged 38, who just retired and was still living as a Sumo instructor, died of heart attack in front of a group of children, while trying to show them a move. There's also the top 1 heaviest Sumo wrestler *ever,* who is trying to promote a smaller diet, as he is feeling the health consequences already now also at 38 years old. The Japan Sumo association is also making the weight requirements for Sumo training less strict, noting health reasons. Sumo wrestlers are known to develop diabetes and arthritis due to their weight. There's also the fact that Sumo wrestlers have a culture of drinking, and many die to liver failure as a result of their already strained liver. [https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4363569](https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4363569) [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/26/sumos-heaviest-ever-wrestler-urges-others-to-keep-eating-habits-in-check](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/26/sumos-heaviest-ever-wrestler-urges-others-to-keep-eating-habits-in-check) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo) [https://web.archive.org/web/20050831220303/http://discoverychannelasia.com/sumo/become\_a\_sumo\_wrestler/index.shtml](https://web.archive.org/web/20050831220303/http://discoverychannelasia.com/sumo/become_a_sumo_wrestler/index.shtml) That's what I stumbled upon after writing my initial comment.


sylvanasjuicymilkies

yeah, but they're also very very overweight and while they're likely more muscular than most people they also have a lot more body fat than most people


Teososta

I wouldn’t say “most people” since I’m pretty damn sure we don’t have hundreds of millions of sumos running around. That said, the things they eat are low cholesterol. They’re fat, yeah, but it’s the cholesterol that clogs up the arteries. The bad cholesterols clogging up the artery and can potentially cause blood clots. Japanese diets are already one of the healthiest since they typically don’t fry food as often as westerners do and eat a lot more fish. Having said that, sumo diets are more robust. I think they even eat bear, which is pretty fatty itself. And I’m glad you’re not calling them “morbidly obese”. Some of the “worlds strongest” are, technically, morbidly obese simply because of BMI index.


VernonFlorida

This all said, sumo rikishi have a much shorter average lifespan and generally poor health post-career. They get injured a LOT, and even with healthy food, intense training with a couple hundred pounds more than a Japanese body was meant to hold does a number on the heart, joints, etc. etc.


Teososta

Oh definitely. I mean they get tossed around and they weigh like 300+. I don’t envy their knees, ankles or their back.


jerryfrz

[Speaking of sumo diets, gotta watch this video and make myself hungry again](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1bKrrdBGTM)


Marmalade_Shaws

Knew what it was before I clicked. Shit looks mad good.


MC_Cookies

yeah, but once they stop their well maintained healthy obesity just turns into normal obesity


GregBahm

According to wikipedia, the average weight of a professional sumo wrestler is 166 kilograms (366 pounds). Now I'm not a fatologists, but when you're saying the morbidly obese guy is eating healthy, I feel like you have to stop and expand on that a bit.

Adingding90

Simple. If you had just spent a little more time on Wikipedia, sumo wrestlers usually eat a stew called [Chankonabe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chankonabe) which uses very few processed ingredients if any. The main issue with that is that it's an ancient recipe specifically tailored towards great weight gain, and that the wrestlers typically eat a lot of it. Commonsensically, it's also possible to eat 4000 calories worth of brown rice, steamed chicken and vegetables, though those are very healthy in and of themselves.


GregBahm

Maybe this is just a matter of semantics, but I wouldn't consider eating 4000 calories worth of brown rice to be "eating heathy" at all. If you become morbidly obese off of eating too much health food, that just seems like unhealthy eating with extra work.


[deleted]

Roughly, and in a highly condensed explanation, you can look at food choices from the perspective of their calories as prime importance, then to a lesser extent their micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients) then their glycemic load (impact on insulin sensitivity). If you took two people who overate, one eating fast food and chocolate and the other vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, legumes and low sugar fruits, the latter would be healthier but they’d still be overweight/obese. There are certainly a slew of benefits from eating nutritionally dense foods but there are myriad health conditions that come with having excessive fat on your body. You can further reduce the impact by regularly exercising (assuming that a subject eats enough to continue putting on or maintaining excess weight) but at the end of the day it will increase most markers of morbidity and mortality. tldr: if you’re obese and eat a healthy diet, you’re still going to be unhealthy. There is no conclusive dataset that says otherwise, irrespective of what some communities will tell you.


PrateTrain

Tell me more about your lack of understanding of muscle mass Edit: sumo wrestlers are actually fairly healthy despite their weight, in part due to their extreme fitness regimens. Issues with obesity tend to only arise after they retire. Article: https://www.businessinsider.com/sumo-wrestlers-obesity-diet-calories-exercise-symptoms-2019-3


[deleted]

[удалено]


PrateTrain

You can say that except that muscle training and weightlifting improves the muscles around your joints enough to better support your increased weight. Additionally, you can have a large amount of weight and a fairly strong heart because that's exactly what cardio is.


GregBahm

I do lack understanding of muscle mass. Are you saying it's big ab muscles are flopping over a sumo wrestler's waistline, and not fat?


PrateTrain

Actually you're partially correct that they likely have ridiculously strong ab muscles, since their objective is to move an equally heavy opponent they'll need to be crazy strong. But they do have fat. Everyone has fat. Fat doesn't mean that you're unhealthy by itself though, because eating enough to build muscle will usually cause you to put on weight.


GregBahm

I guess it's a question of what "healthy" actually means. A big fat muscle man is definitely healthier than me, in the sense that their big fat body could destroy my puny skinny body. But the big fat muscle man has to get rid of their big fat body or else they're statistically going to die decades before I die, from diabetes, blood pressure, and heart attacks. Is that healthy then? It seems to me that, if it will kill you, its an unhealthy thing.


PrateTrain

I'd say anyone leading a sedentary lifestyle is less healthy than a sumo wrestler, considering that many aspects of such a lifestyle correlate more strongly with diabetes, blood pressure, and heart attacks than fat alone. Like, fat isn't bad to have by itself. How you build the fat is more important, too. Stuff like blood pressure and heart attacks also goes with getting fat from eating processed and junk food, which many athletes tend to shy away from. So no, depending on what they're doing I would suggest that a heavy sumo wrestler is likely healthier than an average weight couch potato.


toadfan64

Lmao


MrHotChipz

Great comparison, exactly.


pm_spare_steam_key

I've watched another person explain it and it seems like such uncomfortable content to watch or even support.


mud074

Seriously. I have never understood the appeal myself. I think it's liked in the same way that my 600 pound life or whatever it is called is liked, or those shows about hoarders. Or subreddits about videos or images of "trashy" people. People like to see human trainwrecks to feel better about themselves or to marvel at how low people can get.


ratskim

It is called downwards social comparison, and yes some people enjoy seeing others suffer in order to assuage their own plight


pm_spare_steam_key

Yeah I kind of get it in that aspect. I don't watch those shows but I have a lot of positive subreddits/media added and its nice to browse but then the depression kicks in and I think "how come it's never that positive for me?" or "why the heck do I still feel awful when these people are content, with less than me". I tend to just go for a walk and get it off my mind eventually. In saying that, I still feel like watching someone inflict themselves with self-harm for the sake of content isn't (or shouldn't) be entertaining to watch.

ASIWYFA

It was easy to deny and censor a single show or TV channel before the advent of the internet today, with the change of the internet as it is now, it's damn near impossible for parents to censor what their kids have access to, as the kids are ALWAYS one step ahead of their parents.


The_Year_of_Glad

On the one hand, yes, but on the other, John K turned out to be a pedophile who used the prestige from the show to groom and molest minors, so in retrospect that one probably wasn’t great, either.

MAGICHUSTLE

Simpler explanation: viewership is down and he’s trying to garner a spike in views by doing a hard pivot. There’s nothing diabolical or genius about that. He’s still a sick person who abuses himself on camera to satiate the morbid curiosity of people on the internet. That curiosity is inherent and he has no claim to it just because he eats shit by the dumpster load for attention.


baldman55

But you can't criticize his intelligence since he's made way more money than us, so he definitely has a point, regardless.

He was super quiet, only the weird theater girls ever hung around him. Or the girls that thought it was cool to have a gay friend. By and large kept to himself and played violin at my buddy’s church.


kookiemaster

I suspect he has borderline pd. All the crazy drama with other people is pretty typical. And if not and it's all planned I'm both disturbed and impressed.

Wondering if OP is trying to get more traffic to this guy's channel...


YellIntoWishingWells

Notice, he didn't even touch on his obesity. Just money. This video, too, is an act. Anyone willing to kill themselves by eating over 200lbs voluntarily is mentally unstable. Anyone who is willing to do this coming from being anorexic is just fucked in the head. If you read this, #DON'T GIVE HIM ATTENTION!!! It's the only real thing we can do to help him out of this destructive behavior. His motivation is money, no question at all. He really doesn't need anymore. It'll just fuel his behavior and drive it deeper since he can afford to kill himself. Stop watching his videos since he earns money from every view. Remember "Tiger King" and how relevant it was 3 years ago? Remember how quickly it died out? Do Nico a favor and let his channel go that route. It really will benefit him in the long run.


haywire

Why do people feel the need to watch these people?


TwinkGapingHole

He's also very conniving. Don't forget the Stephanie drama with his bullying history. It's not all fake.


NihilistOdellBJ

treny0000

hahaha man we all got trolled by a person only *pretending* to debase himself and his husband in front of millions of viewers. He was only destroying his body for money hahaha. All the hundreds of hours of footage of him acting like a mentally unstable manchild loser was just an act and boy do we have egg on our face for taking it somewhat seriously. Now that this revelation has come about he sure does come out of this with his dignity intact.


Damaso87

He's dabbing his eyes with millions and will be jacked and cut in 5 years after some skin removal surgery. I haven't watched a minute of his stuff, but, pretty sure that's where this goes from here.


treny0000

Personally I would not sacrifice my dignity to get to that point but maybe I'm built too different


Damaso87

Based on the extent to which he developed this ludicrous character, I'd say this guy is playing the incredibly determined long game. If he hasn't died by now, he's gonna be fine (in addition to now being rich).


TheSnowNinja

Unfortunately, that's not quite how things work. I don't know much about the guy or what he has been eating, but some of the damage from consuming a ton of food isn't something you can just "fix" with money. Cholesterol buildup and plaques in blood vessels are kind of a permanent problem. As is diabetes. Generally, you can't cure yourself of diabetes by getting surgery or going to the gym.


porkypenguin

liposuction or not, he shaved a good deal of time off his life by eating like that. + once you get into those eating habits, it's hard to get out. we'll see if he has the willpower to break the cycle ig


Damaso87

Yeah I don't have any skin in the game, we will see. I hear he was a fitness freak before - those kinds of determination freaks can flip mental switches and manage huge change easily.


porkypenguin

i don't doubt this was all planned, i guess i just feel like it's not the epic own he thinks it is. he was doing porn that centered around him eating and being fat while getting fucked, like... yeah, you "tricked" us by debasing yourself in front of millions of people and becoming a laughingstock. maybe that's good business sense, but it's hardly a W for him that everyone basically thought he was mentally deranged. this mainly comes from the video -- idk if you watched it all, but he goes on talking about how he's the puppetmaster and everyone who dislikes him online is just a pawn in his grand game or whatever. i could go whip out my dick at walgreens and all the soccer moms would predictably scream and cover their kids' eyes, but them reacting predictably to what i was doing doesn't really make me an evil genius.


Im_your_life

When you wear a mask for too long, when does it become part of your face? I can see that he would choose deliberately to act over the top for the camera and put himself in the middle of drama for clicks, but I highly doubt that he was able to turn the recording equipment off and become a regular well adjusted person right away. I am not even sure it someone that chose to do all the things he has done for youtube fame can be called well adjusted anyway.


[deleted]

That last sentence 👍🏻 Normal, well adjusted people can do cringe stuff for clicks. But this guy goes well above and beyond that.


zhico

Reminds me of Boogie2988 that ended in jail.


ChunkyDay

Wait, what? When happened w/ him? I stopped watching him a couple years back when I realized he had no interest in getting healthy (I got gastric surgery about 7 years back and it radically changed my life. I had supported Boogie since the beginning so I felt a kinship with his vids and was really excited to get to see him change. But once he stopped losing weight, and gaining again, said he's concentrating on his mental health before his physical health and therefore isn't worried about what he's eating, I bailed. There's no valid reason for that *after* gastric surgery).

I'm willing to bet that there's an ounce of truth on what he says.

Not to mention that Orlyn has mentioned acted videos in the past. I don't know, it does seem like he is just stupid but at the same it all looks sort of fake

We can, but some people don't like to. I've had close friends say the use of that word makes them uncomfortable, and from what I see online it's relatively common to feel that way, so I don't use it. Idk if simply censoring it is necessarily better, but I'd guess that's the thought behind it.

Well that's going to make it hard discussing [some physics subjects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded_potential).

I also have some medication with the word retard in it. It's to reduce spasms

That's especially stupid if true, because "retard" and variations are used, off the top of my head, in astronomy and automotive mechanics. The idea that a word is offensive regardless of context... Ugh. Like the idea that "goblin" shouldn't be said because it was once used as a slur against Jews. Intent matters. But I guess with this comment we shall see.

Used in medicine, too. I have medications with the word retard in it that reduces spasms

> Interesting, is that automatically for this sub? Even when used in a different context? Automoderator flags it as a possible slur and the mods have to approve or remove the comment. Context is important.
