YouTube sensation Nikocado Avocado, famed for his over-the-top Mukbang eating videos, has shocked his millions of followers by revealing a dramatic 114kg weight loss. The content creator, whose real name is Nicholas Perry, unveiled his new, much slimmer physique in a video titled “Two Steps Ahead,” posted on Friday. However, what’s more startling than the weight loss is the admission that he had been orchestrating a massive social experiment on his fans for months.

Nikocado Avocado, who boasts over 4 million subscribers on YouTube, is widely known for his indulgent videos where he consumes excessive amounts of food, often to the concern of viewers who worried about his health. But in his latest video, the YouTuber exposed the truth behind his transformation, which he had kept hidden from the public eye by continuing to post pre-recorded content from before his weight loss.

“This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life,” Nikocado Avocado declared in the video, which opens with him wearing a panda head mask. He described his interactions with fans over the years as akin to “monitoring ants on an ant farm,” criticising them for their uncritical consumption of content.

“People will consume anything they are told to consume,” he said, driving home the point that his experiment was meant to reveal how easily viewers can be manipulated.

“I am the villain because I’ve made myself one,” Perry stated. “And you will continue to consume these stories about me... for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger, and infect the minds of the ants.”

Perry’s transformation comes just three months after he announced that he had quit his weight loss journey and would be taking a hiatus, further adding to the surprise of his fans. In a separate video uploaded to another of his channels, Perry explained that he had been uploading years-old content to maintain his YouTube presence while focusing on his health behind the scenes.

Despite the provocative nature of his latest video, which left many fans reeling, the majority of comments expressed relief and happiness at seeing Perry in better health. One fan summed up the general sentiment by writing, “Let’s be real. This is what we hoped for rather than facing his passing due to complications caused by his heavy weight.”
