You think a guy with 229 million views over six years who has only very very rarely done sponsor type stuff is making over $100k a year? That... just isn't so.

edit: I'm also pretty sure he even said in one of his live chats that he's not making six figures, but that he does make more than he did working for Pepsi.

He should be somewhere around 100K/year.

The only thing that might be boning him is the fact that his videos are slightly advertiser unfriendly and his network may be taking a huge cut, I'm not sure how the networks work.

Can this thread be about remembering that goon who tried to hike across America and gave up after 3 days?

Two of those days were spent shivering in a blanket and dealing with the horrors of staying at the visitors cabin of a popular san francisco park

He literally only walked for one day and liek 10 miles, iirc

get that OUT of my face

i guess he's dead to me now. i stopped giving a poo poo about Beast when he wouldn't shut up about bringing back Crystal Pepsi but held out hope he'd go back to doing them when they finally listened. now that he's trying to walk across america instead, i have no emotional investment in his fat idiot rear end anymore

well you see he's trying to walk across america to negate the effects of the lifestyle that led him to become a fat idiot rear end in the first place

sadly for him, only one of these things is reversible

Sometime those bipolar mania upswings are a little too upswingy and they end up posting a thread about their Great New Idea which will Totally Fix Their Life and then they can't back down and they have to attempt to go through with it.

I like how his tone of voice always conveys both solemness and stupidity.

I don't like how he posts a video once a millenia though, so my one stop shop for competitive/masochistic eating remains WrecklessEating

I tried to watch that channel once and those people are the most annoying goddamn idiots I have ever seen. The LA Beast may be stupid and crazy but I think he is a genuinely nice person. The wreckless eating people seem like they are just rear end in a top hat douchebags. Especially the really fat one with giant bags under his eyes who looks like he is going to die very soon.

If you can tolerate a New York accent, Chuck From The Bronx is both nice and a masochist (albeit MIA for reasons I can't recall)

I think I've watched Chuck before, he's pretty good. I don't mind the dude where's my challenge folks either (edit: I guess there's no dude in front of that), although I haven't watched those in awhile, I think they were getting kind of dumb for a while there. I really like cult moo, which is still a pretty small channel, although they do regular food reviews more often than crazy stuff.

Oh, I also forgot another great LA Beast moment. He eats raw meat and then feels sick for like three weeks straight so he just assumes he has a tapeworm or something. Okay, makes sense I guess. But at the exact same time he ate the raw meat he also started taking "Furious Cuts" these weird diet pills made by youtuber Furious Pete. Even when people tell him to stop taking the pills and see if that makes him feel better, he won't. Eventually he confirms that he does not have tapeworms but still refuses to attribute his feeling lovely to the pills and keeps taking them.

I saw a few of his videos a year or so ago, the dude's mental health has deteriorated pretty badly from what I can tell.

Yeah, it's time to go big or go home.

Also, I get the feeling he's on drugs regardless so a pound of crack really won't matter in the long run.

Hmm. His brain is not in a good place right now. Super strength THC + solitary activity is probably the worst move for him. Pity, seems like a nice guy but you can see paranoid lunacy starting to bleed into his otherwise chirpy demeanour.

Here the LA Beast shows he is a beast by lifting 12 lbs weights. Then shares with us his brilliant new idea for a video. Walking to form a path that says "I Eat Poo" with a picture of pac man eating poo.

it's sad to see him go from someone full of life to a guy obviously drowning in mental illness.

He's using his persona to justify his unhinged behavior: "My violent screaming outbursts toward my phone are just a joke, everyone is laughing with me, ha-ha, I control this"
