Le place for dogelore and classic doge memes to be shared has arrived. Wow.
Cheems, Walter, Cate, and other Doge-adjacent characters are welcome.

I don't see how YouTube is to be blamed for someone wanting to be popular to the point of eating themselves to death (or any other harmful excess).
This is purely a problem of poor self-esteem and peer pressure.
Self esteem and peer pressure are probably a part of it, but I think money is too. Both youtube and nikado are making money off of what could be considered self harm through binge eating. The company could easily demonetize or ban his content to remove that motivating factor, but chooses not to. (I'm not up to date on the latest drama with this so maybe they changed their tune)
