Matt Stonie's been a very successful YouTuber for years, and seems like a genuinely nice kid. Before you go scoff at the term "successful YouTuber," you should check out how much dough some of those guys pull down every year...

that Pewdiepie dude is estimated to be worth around $25 Million. Those people that livestream games and then post to YouTube make money but most if them are just attractive gamer girls that neckbeards fawn over. One is this blonde that knows market and assets - she pushes her breasts into a cleavage unknown to most and talks nerd stuff. One day a week (I think it's Monday) she only opens stuff fans have sent her and it's crazy! They send her tiny tanks that she always changes into (she basically puts on anything sent to her), toys, games, candy, food, clothes, etc. She reads their hand written letters and they all try to be suave but she's smart enough to play along by acting like everything/everyone is a love of her life. The kicker is that she films all this in a bedroom where she lives with her bf. They all know she loves this guy, he's sometimes on camera but tits and nerdy stuff = drooling fans. She has over a million subs, IIRC. She has to make bank for doing nothing and that's not counting all the gifts (some worth hundreds of dollars).

Went straight to the kitchen and cooked 10 hot dogs. Told my son to start the timer. After watching how it's done on TV, I figured I got this. I ate 3 hot dogs in 4 minutes and I felt like throwing up. I have gained lots of respect for all the competative eaters.

is only better than losing a bukakke tournament in "most humiliating, gut wrenching, I need to take a long look at my life" silver medals lol. Imagine eating 60 dogs & buns only to lose. Sweating out hotdog juice for a week and you lost. Purge or not.....ughhh....

I went to it 2 years ago, not the best live event to see and the wait for the Nathans was super long. Although they did serve 72oz beers and the boardwalk behind the event was very cool.
