“oh wait so the channel owner did that on purpose? thats kind of confusing for anyone visiting”
“My best guess is he’s being weird on purpose and wants to get a viral video from it, or has autism or something”
“I honestly have no idea. I was only aware of him through 420chan. But this is one of his videos reuploaded by someone else so you get the idea of what his videos were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNHg3K6oy2s The guy is probably dead by now from some sort of bacterial…”

“I randomly stumbled across this channel and it just seems really strange i'm left scratching my head. I'm assuming it's some kind of AI botting or something i just don't understand why. If it's for clicks there is certainly better ways to get clicks it just seems very strange and pointless. https://www.youtube.com/@Nathan.HD.Reviews.17 submitted by /u/Jelloman194 [link] [comments]”
People on YouTube fake and stage video? Everyone does that.
“I honestly have no idea. I was only aware of him through 420chan. But this is one of his videos reuploaded by someone else so you get the idea of what his videos were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNHg3K6oy2s The guy is probably dead by now from some sort of bacterial infection. He would rub the stuff all over his face, over his eyes, over his mouth. Just the grossest shit that would make Nurgle gag and ask the dude wtf he was doing with his life.”
“I have seriously viewers remorse from checking out one of his videos. What. Absolute. SLOP. This channel surely will not get monitised and If I put on my tin foil hat, I will say it will be "wiped" in a few months and sold on the gray market. We have already given the channel too much air time.”
“Is it not really his life and it is just scripted? I've heard about these salaryman workers on youtube are totally scripted and fake. Is it true? Does it have any meaning that he has 300k subscribers almost submitted by /u/Big_Confidence_951 [link] [comments]”
“In light of the recent discovery of fake death channels, I was asking myself if even this channel might be fake, it sure looks like it fits the mold. submitted by /u/Leisure_suit_guy [link] [comments]”

“It’s a bunch of bullshit made up by people trying to rig a system in their favor, instead of making good content. Don’t listen to it.”
“Where do you see in OPs original post that he said he was watching a recently uploaded video? Or gave any kind of information about his connection, who he was watching, what he was watching it on or anything? I watch a lot of retro videos and it’s super common to get some 360/480 and even worse res. It’s not crazy that someone not knowing what they were doing was watching a “Little House on the Prairie” video uploaded in some horrible resolution preparing for the new remake. 😅 Believe it or not”
“why did i go to check the channel why did i go to check the channel why did i go to check the channel and even played 10 secs of a video, holy crap, i will need years to shake off the cringe”
“that hasan minhaj video is a perfect shout, really lays out the whole grift in a way that makes you want to throw your router out the window”
“Bro there is a channel that reach hundreds of thousands of subscribers after 8 days ago but why? Because the channel is hand dawned animated and talking about life experiences witch alot of real people subscribe.”
“i’m gonna be honest I don’t have the time to sit and watch a one hour and 11 minute video about the dead Internet theory. I just wanna know if this person is buying subscribers or not.”
“I beg every person who sees this to please actively watch and pay attention, even take notes from this video. It's Hasan Minhaj and the video is called The Internet is Fake. This will explain everything you need to know about why this happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7lQdkiQfo4 And yeah it's a bunch of BS. I knew we were being manipulated but not to this degree.”
“Damn, I remember watching this guys vids when it was happening. I was hooked. Knew it was fake but still, it was so entertaining.”
“PLEASE delete this! It’s not true and you’re spreading it when it should’ve stopped being brought up the day Jennifer recanted and said Mike paid her. This lie needs to stop circulating!”
“Last time I saw this guy, I was gullible enough to believe the psycho kid videos were real. And that was a long time ago”
“When this happens they have prob paid a fortune to promote themselfs and or fake bots etc”

“Atleast he has an avatar in the corner submitted by /u/LocalOk3662 [link] [comments]”
“From a quick Google it seems these folks don't want their info (location etc) helping YouTube or creators by giving them accurate stats :)”
“Found another one doing the same I just don’t how they get monetized without it being flagged”
“I don’t get it, that email address is literally listed on his youtube profile. Do you think you are doing something nefarious?”
“my channel does NOT have that kind of stats. Edit I am sorry that I didn’t provide any context!. CHECK MY COMMENT!! submitted by /u/No_Upstairs3104 [link] [comments]”
