The Ruthless Rise and Fall of FouseyTube 

It’s a problem when you have a bunch of yes men around you! Sounds like his family told him but he didn’t want to listen

I agree with you however sometimes the being told no doesn’t work with certain people and they do as they please. Also agree with the comment, he was surrounded by yes men.

You are not so easily going to convince a physically imposing person to do the opposite of (or stop) what they have set their minds to do, while they are having a mental break. This is the reason they invented the straight jacket, and also why orderlies are usually large/strong males.

ive had friends have manic episodes there is actually very little you can do. I would beg them to try to see a health professionals but they just dont see or understand whats going on. It's a very delicate and difficult situation.

Even if they did try to stop, i doubt he would

He made millions lol i want to punish my self like that as well

@@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 Not to mention he’s never* 100% accurate.

@@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 Thing is, not everyone does. There's a reason his subscriber count shot up. I certainly don't watch over 8 hours a day.

he's probably not the only person doing the research

@@DistrosProjects No doubt. Depending on how heavily edited the video is, I’ve seen folks say that just editing takes at least 12 hours of their time. It’s why bigger RU-vidrs just hire editors.

I don't think I could handle 100k subs tbh

He was an idiot. He sold tickets to a concert , and said drake will come. He never did and he lied about it, running with the money.

I can relate to the taking long breaks. I had a channel called "Crazycatman" Back in 2016 I would upload Lets play videos of games, or tutorials, and just lots of random stuff. My goal was to save up and build a decent computer. I finally found a decent niche of hacking a few mobile games and I made many tutorials, and people paided me to add stuff to their accounts. I made enough to get what I wanted, and then I enjoyed it. I still took income for doing the hacking and it was still profitable. But it just didn't continue. I was running out of Ideas going into 2019 and later that year, I would stop uploading my 1 to 2 videos a day like I did back in 2016, 2018. A few still were able to get 100k to 300k views but that was all it ever accounted for, then I only got a few spikes of videos getting over 20k views. Eventual my lack of wanting to continue and being lazy cause I had got what I already wanted led to me not uploading any content. I still gained enough subscribers seen over the time of my inactivity. RU-vid was starting to change its methods of monetization and their filter was getting a bit out of hand. On May 15th 2020 my channel was terminated, just so happen to be my last day of highschool, so yeah. All my saved videos, all my uploads, gone. 15,100 subs. Fast forward to now, I have had ideas and plans now because Im in a way more interesting situation I always wanted to be in which is messing around with my cars I have. I'm deeply in the Audi community and Lexus community that I could potential start a new channel, but yet, at the end of the day, I don't want to turn my hobbies into something I have to take care of on a daily basis, but in reality is still something that could be very profitable if done right.

Hope hes okay yeah but never liked a guy he just allways hops from trend to trend typicall normie

i don’t feel bad for him seems like a narcissist and he’s entitled also if you ever ate my food like that i’d end up in jail because id beat some humility into him idk why people think that’s funny where i live its a lot of poverty and respect is everything if you disrespected people the way he did for money would get you killed so i just can’t relate on how this is funny or how anyone would like him but i guess people are raised differently

Agreed

Med students will study this guys footage to learn about what it means to be a narcissistic sociopath hypocritical obsessive compulsive liar. Hope it can change a person into a hollow egomaniac evil POS with no soul

AGREED

I’m pretty sure he is! He’s helping people in Africa now, and has come back to his faith, repented to Allah (god) for the crimes he committed.

@@coolguyishere8851 As long as he is happy and lives a good life That's all that matters

@@coolguyishere8851 wtf are you even talking about? You make it seem like he committed crimes against humanity 😂

@@WTFisthisshitWTF I think they meant sins 😂

@@monroe8143 it is quite sad, several people in my family have it, and it sucks that so many people say that it is just him being corrupted by fame or whatever, like get the camera out of his face you’re only feeding into the mania that has very little to do with his fame

@@evanator3521 if there’s one person who’s ever been bullied by the internet that I feel sorry for- it’s fousey. Poor guy has had some terrible influences and pressure on him. I hope he stays sober and continues on the path he’s on. But if I’m going to be honest it kinda seems like he’s traded one drug for another. Substance abuse for fitnesss abuse

I have bipolar 2 and I’m in a stable spot right now. When I see people with Bipolar disorder break down in front of world it just breaks my heart. People don’t understand what they are looking at and so people would start hounding you and criticizing you. It’s overall heartbreaking. I hope he’s doing well. Getting to a stable mood takes a lot of hardwork. It might seems simple for a lot people but it’s an uphill battle for people with mental health issues.

You kiddies have never played RuneScape at the time lmao

I was quite young when the fousey tube thing happened and I was a big fan of the RU-vid prankers of the time like roman Atwood fousey etc, when the fousey stuff happened i remember thinking of fousey as a laughing stock of RU-vid and Rembert finding the whole breakdown thing and failed concert thing hilarious, as I'm older and more mature now looking back this was a man going through some serious shit and the youtubers who documented it painted him in such a negative light to their 1000s of very young impressionable and quite frankly stupid viewers, I see him now as a guy who was trying his best to make something off himself, he wanted the life that hed been advertised since he was young and he had the drive to go get it and thats a lot more than i can say for most people.

@@gioootalks4850 medication and therapy works. It's chronic and you will have it for the rest of your life. However, go see a specialist maybe is not bipolar. Maybe is somehting else. Maybe you don't have anything and you just need some emotional help.

@@thewind6047 its easy to just off someone off as crazy rather than help and see what the real issue within is ur standpoint does no good

This should be a lesson to youtubers though, don't mix your personal life on here with your channel, most people on here are braindead consumers that just want to constantly entertained, not exactly the best place to ask for help, I get someone as popular as him needing help would turn to the public but most people don't care or are living in their own world, only asking for people to tune out of what you are doing, he should have just found help privately (if that was possible with his popularity) and kept it that way. As for his content all he had to do was find something everyone would like, like I said before people are real dumb nowadays so its not a shock that it doesn't take much effort to entertain such slow ass people, he would have to do less than half the work he had to in 2013-2014 to find a new niche. But he comes across as a emotional guy and when someone like that losses control its hard to tell them anything rational, I am guessing people tried to tell him what I am saying (especially keeping a lid on everything) only to fall on deaf ears, guess this was always gonna happen, hopefully he has a good accountant/manager that would make sure he is still good financially

This guy is fake as hell and has lied multiple times. He may be genuine in telling how he felt, but he’s done some shady shit in the past. I don’t think calling him genuine is the right characterization.

Hes dhar mann

I fucking love this comment! I was thinking the same thing

I dont know if "anyone" can get those numbers. Look at all the youtubers that never hit his peak. But I do agree with the rest of your point.

It's the intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation thing. In the long run intrinsic motivators is what's gonna keep you going. The numbers were extrinsic. And those don't last for long.

I hate people just deciding what the reason is. Like how do you fock ng now

@@rawalqayyum5128 I mean Fousey proves that anyone can get those numbers. His videos were frankly dogshit, his personality wasn't exactly the appealing, and he couldn't even fall back on his looks like tons of influencers can. But because he was so desperate, willing to do anything, and clickbait the ever loving shit out of his vids, he manages to gain that many subs.

Fousey should've spent all that youtube cash on cs:go glove cases

Yes! I’m glad you said this because it’s true and I don’t think it was addressed

Lol yes, he cares a lot about his family's image... He abandoned his faith and culture, moved to LA and completely adopted the douchebag luxury bragging lifestyle. Someone who cares about what their Arab Muslim family thinks wouldn't have done any of that.

Money brings happiness if you are able to sustain yourself on it. That is the only purpose for money. The other things like buying extra junk and going places are for leisure that you earned from working hard to get to your wealth. They wont bring long term happiness, only short term enjoyment. Long term happiness comes from the hard work you put in and the people around you.

@@terrahwonneh He almost peaked again but ruined it by getting himself arrested

As someone who still plays osrs and started binge watching these videos I thought I opened it somehow in the background💀

I never played that. However that exact music is in Age of Mythology.

Unfortunately he has an amazing family, it’s obvious in a lot of his old videos, his family is really tight packed and they would always go out to dinner together and one of the family members would pay each time. Society and who you hang around causes these mental illnesses I believe. Changing the way you think into wanting to be something you’re not, wanting more and more but not being able to get it. Greed destroys people, having a vision in life for materialistic things also destroys people, some are tough enough to not care, others are too good deep down to be able to transition into that sort of living.
