    Niko Avacado is doing anything for attention. YouTube is the medium, but not to blame. Neither is your television for making Kardashians a thing. It’s humans responding to humans, the technology doesn’t have a factor.

        to themselves

        Nik has a choice here. But he is choosing fame over his health. I’m not judging, Evil Knievel and all of the jackass guys made the same choices. But do you lay the blame at the inventor of the camera? or MTV? Or the fans? Or the companies that commercials ran during these events? Where exactly does the blame stop?

          YouTube takes down other self harm videos.

          This is not different.

          But also the guy’s on a weight loss journey now or whatever so the timing of the criticism is a bit poor.

      YouTube can ban mukbang videos but they won’t, so they hold some responsibility at least.

      Youtube is a shit platform literally boosting immoral thieves on official platforms because they’re “popular” with little kids who don’t know how to skip ads.
