like why the fuck does anyone need to watch some guy basically kill himself with food, this isn’t good for people lol

because the vast majority of people watching the guy go at it are a bunch of guilt-ridden reactionaries/PMC libs who take great pleasure in indulging in their most "Self destructive" desires vicariously through Nikocado. Its great for them too because they have built a kiwifarms-style moral panic campaign to then exorcise themselves via casting their vitriolic protestant disdain towards Nikocado. He is now their mammon, an idol of sin to be torn down and burned, his deteriorating physical and mental health proof that the universe ultimately punishes evil and therefore makes sense to their small minds. Above all else, he is a public figure that they can feel morally superior to, despite their hidden guilt.
