In front of the photographic lens, money seems to decide everything, but behind the scenes, the passage of life seems precious.
Currently, some"Eat and broadcast"Internet celebrities perform hard in front of the camera in order to attract attention, overeat regardless of their health, and finally collapse in the hospital due to various diseases, this sentence reveals their tragic experience.
* The process is long and painful, and it is difficult to recover from damaged body functions. The four major eating broadcasts have been booming and occupying the Internet**, and now some people are no longer active on the Internet.
Is all the blame to blame solely on themselves?
Bubble Dragon's real name is Sea Dragon, and the family's financial situation is average. He had a huge appetite as a child, and could often eat the amount of a few adults, but due to family constraints, he rarely had the opportunity to eat enough.
After graduating from junior high school, Hailong decided to give up further study and go to the city to work alone, with the goal of reducing the financial pressure on his family.
When he was confused, an internet celebrity named Red Rain happened to come to the restaurant for dinner, and the boy stepped forward to take the initiative to talk. In the course of the exchange, he skillfully entered the path of becoming an internet celebrity.
After renting a house, Yu Hailong immediately registered an account of "Bubble Dragon" and began to concentrate on the food and broadcast industry. Initially, he just recorded himself tasting dumplings, barbecue and other delicacies, which gradually attracted some attention. However, he later discovered that only by eating more exaggerated can he increase the number of clicks of **.
After he made up his mind, he began a life of eating and drinking, and his overeating reached millions of fans. To please his fans, Bubble Bobble opted for a more exaggerated eat, where he was able to wipe out a buffet of whole suckling pigs and dozens of burgers in an hour.
He once gobbled up 3 catties of grilled sausages in a live broadcast, and the audience was stunned. Just watching his process makes fans' stomachs churn.
The streamer watched his follower count gradually rise, so he worked harder to perform a gluttonous performance. Soon after,"Bubble Bobble"This ID began to become famous, and the number of fans has reached more than 200,000.
In order to repay the support of fans, Bubble Bobble also created a classic slogan"Spit bubbles after eating"。The slogan immediately caused a stir online, causing the number of followers to swell to more than 2.6 million.
He became a popular "big stomach king" and attracted attention for a while. In order to cater to the "gluttonous appetite" of fans, his appetite continues to expand, and he is eager to swallow everything in one gulp.
Inspired by fans and money, Bubble Bobble's weight quickly soared to 320 pounds, and his face was covered with terrible dark spots. Despite the persuasion of his friends, Bubble Bobble went his own way and refused to quit. At this time, Bubble Bobble, who was obsessed with money and fame, did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
Until 2021, when he was 29 years old, after eating his first bite of food in a live broadcast, he suddenly covered his chest and fell to the ground, and was sent to the hospital for rescue and finally died. Prior to the accident, he was working more than 10 hours a week and was in a state of severe overload. However, experts believe that the cause of sudden death is still mainly long-term overeating.
Bubble Bobble died because of greed for money and attention, but this did not make other food broadcasters wary. Today, there are still people on major platforms who attract attention by overeating, and the eating and broadcasting industry is still prevalent.
In 2020, 30-year-old Wenwei'er suffered from uremia and other diseases, and needed to follow a strict diet and receive regular dialysis**.
Doctors have clearly warned that if the diet is not strictly controlled, the consequences will be very serious. However, in order to become popular and make money faster, he chose to ignore the doctor's orders and continue to mass-produce and publish gluttonous content.
From hot pot to roasted lamb to fried chicken and burgers, there's a huge variety of high-calorie, high-fat options. The long-term indulgence of this overeating lifestyle led to the deterioration of his condition. This long-term overeating has severely damaged his bodily functions.
In order to maintain attention on the short** platform, the food broadcasters will ignore the ** time arranged by the doctor and do not follow the advice of their families. Even when it was necessary to rely on medical assistance to sustain life, he still insisted on live streaming.
In March 2022, a 32-year-old anchor suddenly collapsed with his stomach in his arms during a live broadcast, and unfortunately passed away after rescue efforts failed.
His death sparked widespread mourning in society, leaving behind a wife and a baby who was less than one month old. Before this tragedy, he had made a bet with his wife to ** to 240 pounds, but his unexpected death made him unable to fulfill his promise.
The tragedy of Brother Wei'er has sounded the alarm and triggered a public reflection on eating and broadcasting, and some sane bloggers have begun to change their strategies and no longer use gluttony as a selling point.
At the same time, some bloggers have not learned their lesson and still insist on high-intensity eating performances, once again raising concerns about their health.
In order to get more traffic and monetization opportunities, the food broadcasters Fat Monkey Boy and Enke chose to overeat to perform, although they were originally at a normal weight, but this behavior eventually caused them serious health problems.
Zhang Gorilla, whose real name is Fat Monkey Boy, was born in an ordinary rural family in Henan. As a child, his weight remained normal, but when he went to college, he accidentally discovered that he had an amazing stomach capacity and food intake. Once, he made a bet with a friend to eat 10 burgers in a row, and he lived up to the hype and accomplished the feat with ease.
He couldn't find a suitable job after graduating from college, and a friend jokingly suggested that he try to record **, but he didn't expect to cause a strong response after uploading. This made his eyes light up when he had just stepped into society, thinking that this could be his chance to get rich. So, he registered his own account and started the road of "gluttony and eating".
In order to attract attention, the fat monkey began to taste high-calorie food, and was no longer satisfied with ordinary fast food, such as roasted whole sheep, suckling pig, braised elbow, etc. Under the performance of Teng Yun, he can even eliminate an entire roast suckling pig on his own in a matter of minutes.
This extreme way of eating really attracted a large audience, and the man quickly increased his popularity and income in a short period of time. Fans have left messages such as "delicious and tempting" and "too enjoyable". As his popularity soared, his weight also increased dramatically, soon exceeding 300 pounds, and then soaring directly to 600 pounds.
Fans noticed that Fat Monkey Boy's face had become darker, and he was often out of breath when he spoke. Of course, there are also netizens who try to persuade them, but the fat monkey boy has been carried away by money, deaf to the advice, and continues to perform high-calorie performances.
Until one day, the other party suddenly fainted during the live broadcast and was diagnosed by the doctor as severely obese and had to **. This incident made him deeply aware that health is more important than money. Under the urging of fans, Fat Monkey Boy joined the **training camp and shared his **daily life through social accounts. Under the guidance of a professional coach, he successfully lost 200 pounds of weight.
However, this did not last long, and once the camp was over, the weight started again**. His **dream was shattered, so he had no choice but to give up and continue to publish gluttony on niche platforms**. Nowadays, the frequency of updates has been significantly reduced, and occasionally share some ** content to "fill up", but just to make a show in front of fans.
Enke's situation is similar to that of Fat Monkey Boy. This man from Inner Mongolia was not originally a big eater, but in order to become an Internet celebrity, he chose to overeat. Every day he feasted on beef and mutton in front of the camera, and as a result, he weighed more than 300 pounds in less than a year.
Fans were surprised to find spots on the face of the eater and expressed great concern about this. What's even more shocking is that during a live broadcast, the anchor suddenly **, yet he still insisted on cheering up in front of the camera and continued to eat meat.
According to him, he has to rely on a ventilator every day to sleep. Although fans have advised him to **, he still lives his life on his own terms. Enke hasn't updated his news for a long time, and an informed netizen broke the news that his current physical condition is very bad and he is receiving related ***
What is precious is life, what is more precious is life, and health is better than **. What happened to these food streamers is heart-wrenching and evokes reflection on the price of chasing money and fame.
Should the audience also examine the problems existing in this era and this industry?Are these anchors also victims of blind gold worship and pan-entertainment culture?
Should we be more tolerant and understand the helplessness in life while condemning them?
