- Boogie2988 recently announced that he's almost out of money, which accompanies him already losing many subscribers. What exactly is going on? How did Boogie2988 get himself into this position? Does he deserve it? This video will go over the financial bankruptcy of Boogie2988, so join me as I explain why Boogie2988 Deserves His Failure.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by "Christopher Tom" who posted a video on a similar topic in August 2019 titled "The Fall of Boogie2988: Why He's Losing Subscribers" You can watch his version here - • The Fall of Boogie2988... - บันเทิง
The surgery didn't ruin his marriage. He was using his wife as a live-in nurse/maid, and she wanted out for a long time, but she kindly waited until he was marginally healthier.
That's probably one of the main reasons why the divorce rate is so high after weight loss surgery
@@knivesintoasters true but also chubby chasers
Boogie I knew from 10 year ago
She was leaving before if I remember, she said she would say until the surgery and recovery. He is such a lying idiot, every story has half truths. He is somehow a crypto millionaire then a few months poor.
I lost al my money in crypto
Boogie learned that bad choices and boomerangs have more in common than he thought.

A Boogie>>>>Boogie2988
growing up poor = “my parents had decent money but they didn’t spend enough on ME…”
bro that’s not what growing up poor means
That's growing up entitled lol
Buddy, people don't come out of their childhoods feeling resentful for no reason. In boogie's case they had a house and food but his parents wouldn't replace his worn out clothing, buy him a good bed or afford him other nice things like a phone or secondary education.
@@soloplaysgames9965 caught projecting bro
@Rat Popsicle Mr.Rat are you projecting? Why are you getting in your feelings for me calling him entitled? The man is 48 years old. He didn't have cell phones like we did while growing up. He wouldn't have had anything but a Lan line while "growing up". His mother was a preschool teacher but he claims she was an alcoholic. His brother says the dad was an alcoholic. Either way, do you realize how many people grow up dealing with ab*sive parents. Or even S.A. He had 2 older siblings and one story says she was taken away by foster care. Another story says she ran away from home. His brother taught him to code and how to make websites before he left to college. His dad was a coal miner and his mom a teacher. They had decent money! Yeah boogies family seems really downtrodden bc he doesn't get a nicer bed and stuff for his hobbies? You have to be kidding me? I had 5 siblings and we all slept on the floor until I was in my teens. None of us had enough food to become obese.
I can assure you he doesn't know what growing up poor means.
He's entitled because going through hardships doesn't entitle you to restitution or sympathy. Eventually, you have to have a sense of agency and realize most people are perpetuating cycles. I could say poor me and destroy my body and blame others and be the angriest person but it does nothing for me. A victim complex doesn't make anyone more sympathetic to another. People see it for the manipulation tactic it is. There's always someone out there who's had it worse but our struggles make us who we are.
I have nothing to be entitled to. The world owes me nothing rat popsicle.
@@soloplaysgames9965 Glad you had it worse than young boogie I guess, but that's a weird thing to take pride in.
No doubt he's milking his viewer base's sympathy to validate his hopeless self pitying behavior and escape financial consequences. He hates what he's doing but the man clearly doesn't want to work either. I don't know where you got "entitlement" from tho. I've witnessed real narcissistic entitlement and it's not subtle

Moral of boogie's story: Don't use your audience as a substitute for actual therapy
Yeah he didn't have the tools tools to work his problems out.
Also, bettering yourself in terms of weight leads to a truly depressingly high possibility of divorce.
Like, slightly more depressing than the favoritism towards ex wives in divorce court.
That's basically Boogie in a nutshell, the guy is a manipulative leech.
@@MDLuffy1234YT She wanted to divorce him for a while before then since he used her as nothing more than a personal caretaker; but she was kind enough to wait until he was less likely to die of starvation after tripping on his way to the kitchen.
@@nouhorni3229 He had every tool he could ever want in his life though?
Money, a wife, supporting fans, friends, a social life albeit an online one. What more could he have possibly needed??? Therapy was ALWAYS an option but the guy was too self deprecating at every turn.
It doesn't ever matter how sarcastically or ironically or tongue in cheek they say "Give me money" it's never really a joke. Do not give millionaires your money.
Yea, the "woe is me I invested my retirement in crypto" is not something we should be rewarding.
He needed to learn the lesson that if people are already coming at you, do NOT be sarcastic on stream. Because some people will take it out of context and the people who already didn't like you will take it at face value because that's what they want. It was entirely his fault for even joking about that
Boogie had 2 choices:
1. Lose the weight
2. Hire an actual live in nurse
Being this overweight never ends well.
I wish I could help him :(
@@SMCwasTakenhe’s beyond help at this point
im 6’0 240 .. im overweight .. this mfer is not overweight.. hes HUGE
why?@@SMCwasTaken
That’s what his 20 year old GF is there for
This guy was the prime example of never sharing your financial status.
Yep,lol
I'm happy he did. OR else his moron fans would continue to donate to him.
Sharing your financial status means nothing.
Begging for money and buying an expensive ass house and a Tesla immediately after pretending to be on the brink financially is partly where Boogie went wrong in life.
It is but one of many poor decisions he made in life…
Sharing what he's made is perfectly fine and if he wanted transparency, that's a great way to go about it. Buying a Tesla you can't afford and gambling your entire life savings away in the crypto market is dumb as fuck
I’ll openly share my finances with friends and family, but I don’t generally talk to strangers about it, there’s no upside. Either they know how broke you are, or you could be making yourself a target for someone who wants your money
The fact that a video about boogie racked up over 1M views in 10 hours and his actual videos don’t make it past 20k views on average tells you everything you need to know about what it means to be a fallen idol
I genuinely haven't looked at boogies channel in awhile... and I find it peak irony the one video that got more than 100k, was him claiming to have cancer (haven't watched it, possibly just click bait)
and even then, this video got 10× more views, in a fraction of a percentage of the time
@@matthplays-2312 Well, it just so happens to be this extremely rare form of red blood cell cancer that doesn't really impact his life much and that allows him to keep living for years or until he commits suicide.
Needless to say, I'm rather sceptical that this guy has cancer...
@@heiveldboy seen in this video he was describing his systems. I have alot of the same symptoms. But I’m like 98% sure it’s just bipolar disorder or something. Would not be surprised if boogie has it bad. Lying about a health disorder to cover up mental health disorder is pretty common. My aunt lied about having close to golf ball size kidney stone. Literally 0 reason for her to lie, yet she did. She didn’t even get attention for it… some people don’t make sense man😂 we all got issues and anxiety and things we lie about, But to lie about a physical health condition, that is not real, Is just evil. Playing with peoples emotions.
@@User-rka_zykx76 It could be bipolar personality disorder or even narcissistic personality disorder, but I think he's just desperate at this point. For a channel that still has 4m subs he gets an average of 20,000 views a video. That is embarrassing. More importantly, it means he does not get as much money as he used to in his prime. As I've been around since the start of TH-cam I've noticed a recurring trend where a lot of once big TH-camrs really can't handle losing such a big revenue stream and the once mighty or nice TH-cam personalities just turn into e-beggars trying to hold onto their channel for as long as possible.
I think Boogie just spends too much money. Not only has he beaten his surgery by eating a lot, but he also spends a lot of money on both toys and sugar babes. That's why he's making so many e-begging videos these days. He's desperately trying to live above his means, at the cost of his channel's longevity. Because most people could live off of a core audience of 10k viewers. Considering he has different platforms, all with different revenue streams, he could easily make a comfortable living even with the views he gets these days. But he's gotten used to a certain lifestyle and he does not want to let go.
True
He got divorced because he was spending $100k+ on prostitutes.... not because of his "anxiety "
From the documentary I got the impression that he spent that money after his divorce, but given his current behaviour with his new Dez, it wouldn't surprise me if you were correct.
And he made a prostitute quit her profession
@@tgiacin435Good!
@@tgiacin435haha, no.. she did that because his addiction bank rolled her education, and new career..
@@Italiaasher still though, listening to her saying rolls upon rolls upon rolls makes me think was kinda unsettled by the interaction
2:21 "We don't live very large"
bro all the gamer merch behind him is worth over a few grand 😭
True
Dude was originally wholesome dude who nobody could make fun of. But then he showed his real self little by little. By gloating and spending everything he had.
Ehhh I debate on how wholesome he "really" was.
BPD patients can look like little adult babies who wuv u and just need wuv, annnd then you get shived in the back.
He gave off similar energy since the beginning.
I will admit, his Francis videos 10+ years ago made me giggle.
He started to deteriorate mentally over the years. I wouldn't say that his past self was "fake" or "not his true self"
My theory is Boogie was always a sociopath and was very good at acting and putting on a persona. Given all that came out about him and seeing how he acted during gaming streams, he is just an awful person. He had awful parents, especially his mother but the fruit does not fall far from the tree. Good thing his poor ex-wife got out.
@@blacksesamecandies Sociopath is a very big stretch. His behaviour doesn’t show a misunderstanding of right and wrong its more so someone with a lot of emotional immaturity. He’s clearly a very damaged person and that damage is destroying him and turning him into a worse person but certainly not sociopathic.
@@blacksesamecandies That's a bit extreme. I'd say he changed throughout the years. A year can change a person by so much. Doesn't mean someone's always hiding their true selves just because they change. Like, you don't expect a 30 year old to stay mentally 30 at 40. But why are you calling him/insisting he's a sociopath in every comment thread under this video? Like did you recently watch a "Are you sociopath" videos 💀
The most impressive part about Sunny’s videos is how he makes TH-cam commenters look functional
Most of the time they are. I take this community over Rumble or Bitchute anytime...
Ironic coming from a TH-cam comment 😂 you’re right tho
thats rich coming from you
Oh the irony
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 Bitchute is where all the TH-cam rejects go to. Should be called BinChute

Misery loves company
You're terrible? Nah, that can't happen, man. I'm worse!
Kidding aside, we just do the best we can.
I never watched Boogie, but he is just that huge example of why you should never stop improving yourself. It is remarkable that a guy who had issue with his weight (big time) was more stable and reasonable than his healthier version. Many people are just shining after such a big success with their health, but for some reason with Francis it got exactly the opposite. People would point out the divorce, but if he was honest their separation was actually super civil and mature. Why he all of the sudden felt the urge to whine and complain and looking for validation AT HIS AGE is beyond me.
For me personally, Twitch ruined Boogie. I was one of those people who bought completely the ''fat guy with a soft heart'' persona of his. And then I saw him on Twitch literally wishing death to someone's mom just because he was losing. Once or twice, yeah that's just smack talk. But when it Kept On Happening I realised exactly what sort of liar he is and unsubbed. Haven't looked back since.
Twitch has been the downfall of the internet ever since they started putting a lot of their focus on soft core porn.
yeah that's the thing for me. Can you create a fake character for your youtube channel and have it work? sure, a lot of youtubers do that. But i think where people get a bit torn or even feel lied to is how Boogie and his real self are like, polar opposites. And it didn't help that he really did seem genuine, like with his "draw my life" videos and such. I do get that at some point he admitted that his you-tube self is a bit of an exaggeration on who he WANTS to be but the fact he can be a real dick isn't an excuse to be shocked when people are confused or even upset. For a while i was hoping he'd calm down and realize being aggressive won't win people back but that never really happened.
@@Razer5542 tbh i would watch twitch if it had hardcore stuff 😎
@@givemebeans2228 Haha, yeah they should just make it the full package while they're at it 🤣
I agree with ya, unsubbed and never looked back
People like Boogie make me really thankful that I never took on TH-cam as a full time career, which would require a major overhaul of my content, sacrificing my privacy, mental state and relationships in the process. I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to work full time in video marketing, putting my experience as a TH-camr to good use and still having time to do TH-cam stuff on the side "for fun". I regret 0 of my decisions because of that
Hell yeah dude
Good to see you're still around Jon, I enjoyed those videos you were putting out a few years back
Boogie the exception not the norm. As SunnyV points out he deserves his failure. Plus you really should give that sam and tolki thread a gander.
For someone who does it part time. You have done well..1 million followers.
I do wonder how you all grow your businesses. Doesn't look easy at all.
And if a group of TH-camrs don't like you. It becomes a schoolyard on this platform.
My biggest shock is how some content, like Onision, which was brain-dead stupidity got a following.
Goo fuh yuu
It's a wake up call, dear viewers. Please stop taking your online relationships with content creators beyond the acquaintance level. They are not your friends, you will never develop any form of bond and you should certainly NEVER EVER give them your money!!! It's mind boggling, on one hand you have a person who does not know the other beyond their physical appearance (sometimes not at all) and their rhetoric within their uploads. On the other hand, you have a person who does not even realise the other exists.
The Ryan Haywood saga comes to mind, people were devastated because they'd developed feelings. To me he was an entertainer and nothing more. Learn to separate reality from the online.
Wow how dangerous greed can be...
It's sad that it had to come to this, he actually seemed like a really nice and humble guy who knew what he was doing with all that money, but as it turns out, he's not that kind of person.
Jesus Christ, 7 bot comments. How.
These bots are SO annoying.
I maintain that he is "a really nice and humble guy", but he is also other things. No human is perfect and money does get to you.

This is crazy to watch. I used to watch him way back when he was like going to weight loss boot camp. I was going to reach out and have a fitness journey for him and do a collab. Wow. Tough to watch.
I wish I could just ask a crowd to give me 10k just to pay my bills once. Some people really forget how lucky they are because their hard work initially paid off.
Boogie basically became what he tried so hard not to be.
If it's a slimeball, then all he really did was drop the "nice" persona.
He's always been like this, as implied by his ex wife.
This was always he real self behind the scenes. He’s just gotten way worse at hiding it
How tf is he a slime ball?
Kind of tragic in a sense, hard to see people twist into this parody of what they once were
he hid what he actually was.
You can't make everybody happy. I feel like Boogie tries too hard to not be the bad guy because he can't stand the idea of not being liked. That's just life. Not everyone will like you and like what you have to say. No matter what you tell them, they will never change their mind about you. Don't waste your time seeking the approval of those who have no intention of giving it to you to begin with.
i can make your mother happy
Just here to prove I’m not a bot
I can relate. I grew up ignored by my family and initially it lead me to try seeking approval and praise from even random people. It's something that makes me feel accepted and wanted. Even as an adult I have this people pleasing need and it leads to a lot of disappointment when people don't recognize whatever little life wins I accomplish. My family still acts the same and I know my toxic environment is only hurting my mental health
Bro the bots need to touch some grass
i'll keep that in mind
It’s exhausting being in a relationship with someone who is constantly anxious and constantly needs reassurance. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friendship or a romance. I had a friend who was so clingy, who constantly needed to be told that I liked her, who would freak out if I hung out with someone else, who constantly “needed” my help, who used tears and crying to emotionally manipulate me to get her way. I was TIRED. I stopped talking to her years ago and it was a relief. If this dude’s anxiety is anything like my former friend’s, then I don’t blame his ex for leaving.
Man, this is honestly a truly tragic story. He had everything, and then threw it away
tragic greed :)
Yea
Fun fact: Boogie admitted that he spent $5000 on MTG cards in just one week. And this was 4 months ago 😂
bro aint got that type of money to just be blowing it like that 😂
@@Tonkah44 He's also seeking out and paying sugar babies and escorts for company. Not even joking. Links to these sites keep popping up when he Googles stuff on livestream 😂
@@btv4120 sounds like he's lonely and not confident enough to go out and get a real date.
He admitted to spending $700 on MTG cards a few days before the begging video. He also said around the same time that he spent $100k on escorts.

@@Bouldergoatnah its more of him being a picky type i bet lol cuz theres hella BBWs that would cuff him
i cant stress enough to not give money to these youtubers, they don’t appreciate you, they aren’t your friend.
Sounds like Boogie needs to finally get his shock therapy and experience reality without umbilical cord from TH-cam, Twitch, Merch and Patreon. He is a grown up man and grown up men should have their finances under control. Yet he keeps doubling down on his current approach. Some people require just a little nudge in right direction, he is not one these people. He had so many chances and everything he touches is turned to dust. At this point people should cut their losses and allow him to fall down and either rise from the ashes or to restructure his life without TH-cam and fan money. That cash he was given was spent on bullshit, his finances were not enough to actually justify his spending habits. He is not Elon to blow 50 bn on something and get away with it. Humbling by his fanbase is the only valid course of action for him.
they're panhandlers
It's pretty sad people give other people online simply because they go live and beg for it lol pathetic
@@verybadHAT Never going to happen unless he gets perma-banned. He'll move to Tiktok fulltime if he loses his TH-cam channel. He's been terminally online for over 2 decades
Ehh, depends on the TH-camr I'd say. The ones producing well made documentaries for example, deserve to be supported if their fans don't mind and can afford the Patreon membership. Agreed though, don't expect any sort of friendship where money is the only link.

Always love your videos man, keep smashing it out , much love from 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
I feel like when he got divorced it really hurt his mental health and made him more insecure. I have been there myself in my life and can relate to that but at the end of the day we have to own up to our criticism and move forward to better ourselves
Yh I think that’s what happened as that was when his content started declining I believe
His wife was editing and scripting his videos. He was always like this. He's admitted multiple times publicly to being very (verbally) abusive and manipulative to his wife.

@@LastbutNotFirst likely BPD/ covert NPD
Lol bro you think he would end up like this ? th-cam.com/video/i8_wvQ3kIv8/w-d-xo.html
His mental state went straight down after the divorce. Very sad.
Just recently in my life (a week ago) I had to face the fact that personally I had been living in a persona where I said things that made me seem more important, more worthy of being heard and more than others around me. I hated my roots and my living situation certainly wasn't worth discussing or listening too but I painted a much more grand image so people would listen to me and so I could have control over something. I say all this because boogie has been living in his own head for years just like I was and after spending 10 years lying to myself about everything I was to everyone around me, when I told everyone tye truth I didn't know who I was or what to do anymore. I think after boogies surgery and his divorce he simply was lost without his safety net. As a person with extreme anxiety his story makes me fearful tbh.
Do one on Unbox Therapy please. Im curious how the biggest tech channel has died and why hes buying views for his videos now. Big fan of the channel!
That's a good idea
His podcast is so stupid and boring. Lew thinks he’s funny but he’s just not. It’s forced.
Oh hey Ed from techsaurus
Wait he buying views now lol?
Yo Ed
Being someone who also grew up in a very poor environment and currently lives in an EVEN more poor environment, I understand completely why Boogie would save any money he can so he doesn't live that way anymore (and I wish I could). Just a shame he made so many damn poor decisions that he's back to square one and we know that Boogie's probably not going to be able to get back to where he was due to what he has done.

I’d be curious to see an update video, especially with all the information in the recent documentary on Boogie.
I would like to point out that he was able to further destroy his life without the SAM and TOLKI subreddit. Something he fought so hard to get removed from reddit.
Growing up poor, we all have this mindset of never fumblimg money, but reality is different. Having buckets full of money will tempt us to over reward ourselves.
And it's not like you are growing up and your parents are giving you the tools they don't have themselves. The tools that you need in order to leave poverty. Mine gave me motivation and resilience. For the rest, I had to figure it out by myself. Up to this day, 30 years later, I'm still taking great precautions not to get enslaved back into that circle of hell. That mindset is giving me enough motivation to prevent myself throwing money like I should not, thus avoiding the temptation you're talking about. Poverty is such a b****.
I grew up poor and eventually was homeless at 15. I abandoned my bio dad (who wouldn’t get a job) and over these last 10 years dug myself out of the pit he threw me in. Let me tell you I have money in the bank now and I can’t even look at it because it stresses me out. It’s so terrifying to see a comma in my bank account at all times I have so many fears it’s going to be gone again…
That being said he felt like more of the guy who “grew up poor” because his parents didn’t get him everything he ever wanted. I could be wrong but that’s just my take
@@thedarkdweller3476 my mom was the one budgeting at home. My dad would curse again and again against it but in the end budgeting is giving you control, predictability, confidence and a more stress free life once you came to term with and balanced it. I would suggest you giving it a go if you are not already following one. There are great tools and community online like YNAB that help you build a very pro-active budget so when you get into the new month everything is already took care on and virtually paid. Basically you stop living pay check to pay check and worrying all the time.
Hope it helps.
@@RottenMuLoT I do budgeting. That’s how I’m able to remain in confidence of my finances, but there’s still that overwhelming panic I have regardless if I know everything is paid or not.

@@WobblesandBean fr
He didn't want a wife, he wanted a mommy/caretaker/human pet companion. He fell apart because he's a narcissist and once he lost the ability to bully her he went after the only power base he had left, his fans. Deplorable human.
he's just like chris. im starting to understand these fatman types all too well now.
Deplorable? I agree it’s bad behavior, and people shouldn’t act this way, but it’s not like what he has done is unforgivable. This is part of why I hate internet drama like this, and people like you. It’s too easy to judge others, and mark them as “deplorable” and I’m willing to bet plenty of the people judging him are just as ripe to repeating his mistakes if their lives play out similarly. Boogie didn’t murder children, he made some bad personal and financial decisions, that’s all there is to it. I wish the best for him and hope he can learn from his mistakes, pull himself back up, and even have his channel be profitable again.
@@bigbruv5328 You're either very young or very naive or both.
Almost all twitch streamers have his mindset for women.
@@bigbruv5328 He is an abuser, a narcissist, a liar, and more. He is also homophobic, racist, misogynistic, an admitted ephebophile, and to this day, is STILL wasting the money he begs for from his fans on prostitutes to this day.
But yeah, just a few bad personal and financial decisions, right?
I have anxiety and depression with a similar childhood background of neglect and abuse and the stressors of social media and the public eye is not something conducive for someone with the background as the triggering nature of criticism and looking for acceptance can cause a downward spiral that makes you something you vowed to never be.
I grew up feeling so much empathy for Boogie and was so excited that he was finally doing well. I really wanted to watch him become happy and healthy, maybe settle down again. Now, it's just too sad to check in on him anymore.
He never did anything tho like why watch some dude just talk about...his life lel. Lets give him money yeah thats it!
Fuck man. This is exactly how I feel too. He's in desperate need of what I would call overhaul therapy, the type that makes you see the world completely differently. His mother was an atrocious beast who tried to take out his eyes, among plenty of other shit he's been through. Him being unable to accept something like that as horrible as it actually is means he also can't actually move on from it.
You see it a lot in abuse cases. I've talked to many people who tell me some horrific story of their past and pass it off as not that bad. The only way to heal from a wound is to understand the effect it actually had. If you think it's a surface level scratch and it's actually a bone deep gash, how can you expect to clean all the debris out and have it heal properly? Acknowledging how damaging something is and the damage it caused is the only way to repair it.
I went through that journey myself and am still going through it. Not dismissing how damaged I became (and damage I invariably cause, mainly to myself, but also sometimes others) because of what I went through and letting myself understand how deep the wounds go is the only way I can get them to heal properly and it's a painful long process that many people, I suspect Boogie himself don't want to go through because it's terrifying.
You only get as fat as Boogie when something is really really wrong, often mentally if not also physically. His weight is just a manifestation of all the terrible shit he's hurt by. I was glad when he used the gastric bypass as a tool, but it's a tool and tools only work when you use them well and effectively with other tools. You can have a hammer, but no nail or vice versa and you'll be just as stuck as if you had nothing at all.
The shittiest part of all is that damaged people can do damaging things, which eventually erases and erodes empathy people otherwise would of felt for them and makes them even more damaged.

There's only so much sympathy you can give to someone. He bit every hand that tried to help him earnestly and constantly falling back on "WOE IS ME! I'M FAT AND SAD! " I'M THE BIGGEST VICTIM ON EARTH" shtick whenever he hits a little wall.
"The BIGGEST victim on earth." I see what you did there.
Actually I think WingsOfRedemption is the grand champion of the biggest victim on Earth. Boogie is in second place.
In a weird way, it reminds me of people with a victim mindset in general. My mom has it, and even when she had opportunities to improve her life or pursue her dreams; she didn't. She let her fear and anxieties drive her and drive people away that gave a damn about her. Sometimes, you can't help some people, especially people that want to wallow in self pity even when they could use their misfortune as a drive to improve.
"He bit every hand that tried to help him..."
From the looks of him, he not only bit them... he ate the entire arm.
@@GLARebel remember when Wings friends tried to help him by accommodating him in their house and help him doing workouts? Dude isn't even thankful and just wallowing in self pity.

i try to see the good in people , i try to not be so judgmental . when i see this guy and i was aware of him when he first broke big on youtube , i see a VERY very selfish person . there is one thing to take good care of yourself and protect yourself as the world is a messed up place and people generally can harm you if you let them , its another to be out for yourself and put up a front you are something you are not . this is always how i saw this guy as a schemer , and smart guy playing the victim .
you watch him and enjoy this slight happiness that you are proven right, youre worse than him because youre not smart 😂
He's still a victim technically
This is crazy. I used to know Boogie IRL -- he lives in the same city I do -- and he was always friendly with me and everyone else around. Note that I met him in situations where he wasn't filming, but anyway… this was when he was still married and before he had surgery. His wife (everyone liked her) really kept him on an even keel. He's definitely become pathetic in the six years since I last spoke with him… now a poster-child for why therapy is important
lol hi boogie!
@Bradley Mitchell Did happen, dude. Like I said, I only met him and his wife a few times and it's been years.

@@ehyzen ikr only me and you are not a bot
It's not about what the wife wants it's what the court decides which is why it's called a divorce settlement
She's living her best life with the true love of her life Skinny Pete.
I'm no boogie fan, but that was virtue signaling at best. My ex wife said the same thing when she brought me to court knowing she'd get double what she said she wanted.
Marriages ending due to weight loss surgery, what a joke.
It is more tragic than that - it is often people very much living as dedicated aids/live-in nurses. They don't believe in the relationship (anymore) but they still want the person to get better, so when they do, they do not feel the burden of taking care of them anymore and feel confident in leaving that person, as they got better. It isn't always _just_ about the weight loss, if ever.
But you also have to remember that those stats are also similar to regular divorce stats - _9% had divorced or separated within four years of their surgery, compared with 6% in a control group_ - so only a 3% increase
Furthermore, people who lose weight through bariatric surgery end up with higher chances to get married - _Out of nearly 1,000 single patients, 21% got married or started a relationship within four years, compared with 11% of those who didn’t have the procedure_ - almost double the chance
I remember Boogie as someone i ran into by accident on TH-cam years ago, watched that video, enjoyed it, liked the video and then moved on. I never subscribed as it was not my cup of tea but he seemed genuinely nice and cool.
A few years later i watched another of his videos during the weight loss surgery days, found it interesting and hoped things went well for the guy.
Next stop i started bumping into videos ABOUT Boogie. And a lot of them. Watched a few and it was like it was made about a completely different person.
Watched a few of his videos and it was another guy than the one i had watched years earlier.
I do not know if he changed or if he just became the person he really was all along.
As a small defence for the guy in the name of who he once was, if you grew up without money, lived your teens and early adulthood without money, getting your hands on considerable amounts of cash can be bad and even damaging.
I have seen it in my own life with people who never had anything and then got it all, it can end up being really bad for you.
In incliments it will probably ease the situation, but going from zero to hero, if you never had something and then suddenly have it, how would you know how to use it?
And being bullied and laughed at, of course you want to be one of the popular kids and get a Tesla, even if it is a shit investment both in money and as a car generally.
But i do not like the guy Boogie has become. So today i feel good about not subscribing.
Honestly, I’m thankful that I’m no longer in a state in my life where I had to wonder whether I’d eat for the day or be able to get home for the day. So glad you posted today
Those times of having to decide if you get to eat, or your car does are some of the worst moments one can experience. Glad to hear you've risen above them, and I hope you stay that way.
Is that eating once a day?
Don't I know the feeling. Im just about at that point myself. Glad you're past it, my dude.
Lol bro you think he would end up like this ? th-cam.com/video/i8_wvQ3kIv8/w-d-xo.html
Imagine if he actually went to therapy after the divorce instead of using his audience and bank account as a substitute.
He definitely would not have had his current financial problems if that happened.
That's the thing that blows my mind. Guy had been talking about his anxiety and the importance of taking care of one's mental health for years, yet he doesn't seem to be actively doing the proper thing of going to therapy.
Therapy is a scam though. You've never known anyone that's gone through it. The simple reality is that therapy is programming people to say that they "feel better" while they actually feel just as bad and often end up feeling worse. Usually with a side of prescribing a massive drug cocktail that actually makes the problem worse through addiction.
Go to therapy, my child. From the looks of it, you definitely need it.
@Hailey bum take
12:05 "Never feel pressured to donate to me" he says, while literally pressuring you to donate to him.
Relationships are dangerous... Don't dive in unless the other person is just as serious or it will eat at you forever.
She might have been serious but if she met and knew this side of Boogie before anyone else did. It makes sense she would want to move on for her own sanities sake. Would you marry this man?
The fact that he was so rich yet failed to pay off his house then buy a Tesla he couldn't afford clearly shows even from the beginning he lied about saving his money.
Cocaine is a wonderful drug.
You can see that in how much the stuff grows in the background of his videos. He keeps getting stuff.
because Debt makes you rich... or so they say...
@@smaugkathe kept buying and buying and now he got no money left to buy anymore 💀
he's still lying...I doubt he's even broke. This is the same begging formula TheManaSource and DSP uses. Its nothing new.
Wow... He really changed a lot. It's quite sad to see the difference between before and after the surgery. He didn't realize when making such a good decision (surgery), his whole life would fall apart.
Beyond that, even his voice changed. Before it was more happy and softer, after it was much more aggressive and even a bit whiney at times.

haha, right? boogie's the male ALR. I wonder if boogie has a definable cycle his bs goes around.
I'm simultaneously sympathetic to Boggie and all that's he's been through with his weight, divorce, and mental health, AND apathetic as a result of his constant negativity, his inability to handle criticism, attacking fans, and his self inflicted financial woes.
Boggie's story is a tale of triumph, tragedy, humbleness, and insufferable egotism.

It's one of those sad realities that hit you as you get older.

@@dutchdoggogang6882I agree with your advice
@@dutchdoggogang6882 yes
I totally get it. Seeing someone you related to turned out to be a not so good person, it sucks. But thankfully, there’s a lot of TH-camrs on the platform so I’m sure you’ll find someone new who you can relate to :D
Dude get out there and do what you can to cut those calories, you've got this
Every man makes his own decisions, this man has made his. As a man he must deal with consequences, hopefully he changes
This is largely part of the reason why I earnestly think that content creatorship on this site is one of the worst possible careers you could take, and why it always confuses me when I see it's one of the most desired careers out there.
What made me stop watching and supporting Boogie was the fact I got sick to death of every other video and conversation on stream turned into a pity party. I suffer from depression, severe anxiety and agoraphobia. Other than telling people that to give them a heads up, that's all I say about it unless they're family or one of my very few close friends who ask me how I'm really feeling and drag it out of me. I don't come to TH-cam to listen to someone else whine and moan about that every other minute. Sometimes I wanna see how someone's doing so if there's an update video once a month or something then that's fine but I'm not a therapist and I have my own stuff to deal with. I don't have the mental fortitude to be someone else's online therapist they unload on for 10 minutes every damn day. It's doubly bad when that person also lies, says really messed up stuff about demographics that I or people I love and care about fall under and when that person is constantly throwing a pity party even when they've been offered all the help in the world. He also had the means to actually do something about his issues for a LONG time but chose not to do anything. He complains about money all the time but has collections of vintage playing cards, a bunch of collectibles and loads of other stuff he can sell for quite a tidy sum of money. If he's in that much need, all that should go first. Those are a luxury, if you're really that hard up for money, you sell that stuff but no, he just e-begs every damn day as if people watching him aren't also struggling, who don't have half the assets he does yet still expects them to give him money.
Sorry for the rant, but this guy infuriates me to no end.
Goddamn that's alot!
Well said
Hey like that corpse song
That’s basically the same reason I stopped watching him too. I have depression, anxiety, & borderline personality disorder & around the time he started really unloading all his struggles on TH-cam, I was recovering from a sexual assault & made me have a complete breakdown. I was dealing with enough stuff in my own head (the ptsd dreams from the assault is just one of the things I was struggling with) & dealing with everything around me falling apart in my life because I was completely mentally destroyed. It was a very dark time & I just could not deal with his shit on top of my shit so I unsubscribed. I’d check in on him once in a while about his weight loss but once his true colors started coming to life, I stopped caring about him entirely
Spot on!
I try not to be a gullible person, but I'll never forget the betrayal I felt when I found out Boogie had been putting on a mask all the years I watched him. I loved his Francis character, and I had always thought that Steven was a genuinely nice guy, until he revealed who he truly was. It's honestly hard for me to have any sympathy for him
He turned out to be much worse than his character Francis.
No one on the internet is real. It's not that you're gullible too, it's just your nature to see the best in people but the thing with influencers and content creators is they always show their best curated side.
he was trying to entertain and make money bro thats all youtubers really care about
I disagree. I don't believe for a second that boogie was a bad person all along, and neither should you. People change, and not always for the better, there are countless examples of this. Personally I believe that boogie was a good person that took a bad turn, and despite the way he ended up, he wasn't that kind of a person all along.
He managed to be a reasonable person managing criticism and accepting his faults up until like 2016. Then cracks started to show up, bad turns were taken, broken marriage and floogates of the past were opened.
And here he is now. The person he would have been without his wife.
It's a real shame for Boogie because I understand from where he grew up. I also grew up in a very, very poor environment (abusive too), and, even though I moved away from my family, I still live in a very, very poor environment. I am not great with money and so is my boyfriend, I have to pretend I don't have any money at all to keep myself from impulse buying shit.
Watching this video made me feel a certain way.. Like I feel bad one minute and then it changes he kinda threw the money away and then asked repeatedly for his subscribers and followers for help and to get an expensive car and go broke kinda repeat what you sew.
I actually learned a lot about eating disorders, abuse and mental health through his story, which I will always be thankful for. It really saddens me to see someone go down this path. In the end he's the one having made the decisions though...
the decisions... I'm sorry but I laughed when sunny said he was 100k in debt because of the tesla and still had 200k to pay on his house like. HOW do you do that. Then he said he was going to take his crypto money and invest it into a more stable market but instead he kept investing in crypto and lost it all.

@@ic7846 Its crazy. I remember when I used to watch Boogie back in the day and he would end every video with "thank you for watching and I love you very much..." Unlike many youtubers, It felt like he really meant those words to his audience when he said it, and now I wonder if he ever really did 🤔
The thing that people seem to miss is that it's not just bad choices or bad luck that has led to Boogie having a completely trashed reputation, it’s the fact that he is a truly nasty, bitter & resentful person. You can only hide that for so long.
Just look at how he has reacted to this video. He has selected a handful of the meanest comments, tweeted them out saying ‘Look at who this guys audience is’, & ‘Fuck this guy’.
He is just not a good guy, & more people wake up to it every day.
Keeps proving the haters right and he truly hopes he is
Shame people are still drowsy.
By the time everyone is truly awake, he already got away with other heinous actions.
I'm still subbed and I look at his videos occasionally to check the comments and they're overwhelming positive. although some seem like they might be sarcastic, most seem genuine. Point being, his fans still around him seem like sycophants
@@ATSaale Thats bc he deletes the the majority of comments
It’s like people who are bad with money winning the lottery and go broke. He lucked into TH-cam fame and couldn’t keep it up.
It's sad, I remember when boogie used to be championed as the everyman TH-camr who was open and honest about all the things other TH-camrs refused to talk about. I never was a huge fan but remember him talking about how much TH-camrs make and a few other taboo topics back then, I followed his weight loss from afar and remember his divorce... Just sad how far he has fallen from the up beat guy he was
Hold up, I need to know, is the background music when you first started talking about what’s happened (the darker music) from Identity V?
I simply don't believe him saying "I never made much money"
As someone who gets 1/10 the views he does, I make more than enough to live happily. Combine that with sponsors and I have enough to travel whenever I want, and so on. There's just no way he wasn't rolling in cash every year for a good while.
I looked into your channel. I couldn't find a single interesting thing. It's 101% designed around youtube clickbait low-yield ad-clicks with the absolute most generic titles and photos that I'm not unsure whether or not this channel of yours is managed by bots.
God, TH-cam's become such dogshit.
@@Shamino1 my average view duration is 6 minutes so people enjoy the content. It pays very well, especially for uploading 3x a week.
The point of my comment was about how Boogie is likely lying about his income. If my channel makes $7-$10,000 a month on ads alone, then Boogie was swimming in cash. Even DarkSydePhil (who everyone makes fun of) averages $200 a stream. So if he streams each day he would still somehow make more money than Boogie claims to make
@@TrueUnderDawgGaming Appreciate the insight, it turns out the 'ad-pocalypse' wasn't an apocalypse at all, it was just a monolithic institution forcing people to put out objectively generic looking and sounding content to keep up impressive ad revenue. I haven't seen an ad on youtube in 12 years though- here's hoping the rest of the world starts getting ABP, XSS NoScript, and UBOrigin to reduce advertising!
I believe the answer is he just spends it all even if he makes not just good but great money
To be fair itd have to be a pretty large pile of cash for him to roll around in it lol

I never watched Boogie avidly, but I remember, when I was in high school, a video titled something like, "My Sad Life Story" or something like that, where he narrated over himself drawing a slide-show of his life on a whiteboard, and his story nearly brought me to tears. It was so f'ed, and I found it inspirational because I told myself, "How can such a nice guy have come from some such a bad background?" It gave me hope that I could one day be as wholesome as him, and then the mask started to slip, and I started hearing about/seeing him do incredibly f'ed up things. It seemed like every week something new happened on his Twitch stream or he got in trouble with the police, and he kept blaming it all on his mental illness, and playing this sympathy game on his audience, and I thought back to that one sad video I watched a long time ago, and said, "Ah. Now it all makes sense." He never had grown beyond his tragic upbringing. He was swallowed by it. He had become every bit as abusive and manipulative as his mother (assuming she really was as bad as he said she was.) Even if he lied about that, this type of behavior doesn't generate itself in a vacuum. He learned it from somewhere, or at the very least, his family failed to ween it out of him at a young age. And now the titles of every single one of his videos asks so much of his audience: "Help me." No, Boogie. We can't help you. Only you can do that now. I only hope that you WILL someday.
Imagine when you find out that its a fabricated story, guy just manipulates people to feel sorry for him.
@@Ghost572 did he fabricate it? It would explain his behavior but I also wouldn't put it past him to exaggerate elements of an otherwise true story to tug at our heartstrings

The thing is chronic liers can't lie forever, he got exposed for making stuff up, tried to denie it and people just left, its not like his content was really that good.

I think he just lost the love of 'youtubing' took it for granted and was just going through the motions like you do in any mundane job
I think many of us make this fallacy that we would be just as we are now if we struck it rich, while in reality, it's very hard to know for sure until it happens. We also like to craft narratives in our head that paint us in a certain light both to others and ourselves to cope with the fact that we are not as rich and powerful as some people. It's also easier to act all high and mighty(morally), "down to earth", reasonable and relatable when we have no other option to begin with. Willpower only last so long and I think it's relatively easy to just say YOLO and fuck it after a while, to get a taste of how the 1% and up lives as. We get glimpses of it every day and the rich live the way they do for a reason, because it's obviously rewarding, both personally and socially, to do so. Constant self-denial isn't fun, unless your a masochist or a priest.
Yeah I personally don't subscribe to the idea that money, material possessions, and power don't at least have some impact on how a person thinks, acts or behaves. Its easy to be like oh I wouldn't change if I won the lottery but the reality is you don't actually know. I think a better way of phrasing it is the propensity someone has to change when exposed to things like that. Some people don't, some people do.
Boogie was literally steamrolling his life from the start
You can't _literally_ steamroll an idea. You use the word "literally" when you are clarifying that something is physically happening and not just a metaphor or exaggeration. "Literally" and "seriously" do not mean the same thing.

@@Twenty-Seven I was about to write the same thing. I've noticed a staggering number of American's somehow misuse this word.
@@Twenty-Seven "Literally" has been used as an intensifier for around a decade now, so you might as well get used to it being used like this.
Edit: Checked, it's actually been used like this since the 1800s, lmao.
watched the documentary, goodness me, dude just can NOT stop feeling sorry for himself. At the end of he day, he’s just not a very nice person. Victim complex to the extreme, descended into straight-up begging. Dude needs to just stop ✋
Boogie was a hero of mine as a kid, I loved how he showed being big wasn’t something to hate on, but to embrace and to show “I am big, but I like being big” now he’s lost everything and I just wish boogie could see the old guy he was and be able to push himself to do better for himself not us
Why can't we say the word "fat" any more? Is it a swear word now? People are now big, large, a person of size. It's a great way to dodge the real problem with euphemisms Why not face it and tell it like it is? Being FAT is one of the worst conditions to try to overcome because it is chronic and involves constant excuses and making it everyone else's fault, or the fault of your bad childhood, parents, whatever. But excuses can be fatal. Sooner or later people must face the truth. If they are in denial about "the a-word" (alcoholism), generally speaking they continue to drink but get better at lying about it.
Being fat isn't something that should ever be encouraged...
