youtubers have apparently hit a new low
because a pair of them from Australia
are reportedly pretending to die for
views what is good this is inform
overloaded I'm Charlotte dobre and if
you need a place to get your news on
youtube hit that subscribe button right
now do it I'm assuming you did it so on
this platform we know as YouTube people
do some pretty insane things for views
we know this I mean we're living in an
age of Jake Paul's and Logan Paul's and
all that fun stuff
it seems like the only way to really
make it on YouTube is to do something
really controversial but it also seems
like the youtubers extreme games have
taken that to the extreme because they
faked having a terminal illness to
generate more clicks and views liam lush
a youtuber with about 450,000
subscribers recently posted a video
where he exposed a pair of youtubers who
claimed that they weren't going to be
posting videos anymore because they were
dying and honestly by the way leon lush
is great I discovered him through this
story and I love his camera presents
definitely check him out these youtubers
are a pair of Australian brothers named
Thomas and Jonathan and I call
themselves extreme games they have 4.1
million subscribers on their channel
they post videos where they quote play
games and chill they made a lot of money
back when fidget spinners were things
but lately their videos haven't really
been doing as great as they once did
about a year ago their videos were
hitting at least 1/2 million even 5
million views but in the last several
months they've struggled to hit the 1
million mark then on August 25th 2018
they posted a video called quitting
YouTube because we are dying not
clickbait in the video the to act very
morose and they say they are both very
sick and this could be the last video
that they post so what were these
youtubers dying from I wonder one of
them says he had kidney disease which is
really terrible kidney disease is an
awful condition that involves the
gradual loss of kidney function over the
course of months or years it is possible
to die from kidney disease in fact
chronic kidney disease resulted in 1.2
million deaths in 2015
ok so this guy says he has kidney
disease he could be dying but then the
other one says that he has vertigo which
is like and sorry it's not possible to
die from vertigo vertigo is a condition
that causes dizziness I mean like you
could die from vertigo if you're like
dizzy and like you walked into oncoming
traffic
that's possible right but than that it's
not possible other symptoms include
vomiting nausea sweating difficulty
walking but yeah you uh you can't die
from vertigo it might be kind of
uncomfortable for you but you can get
treatment for it in the form of balanced
therapy and psychotherapy so this video
where extreme game said they were dying
at the time of this recording has 1.6
million views did a lot better than most
of their recent videos but did I mention
that these youtubers also did an iPhone
giveaway in this video oh oh I'm dying
but you can win two free iPhone X's all
you got to do is like turn on
notifications then subscribe guys they
are doing one last few away because
apparently they want to give back to
their subscribers I'm sorry but if you
guys are dying and this is your last
video why do I need to like and
subscribe to get a pre iPhone doesn't
make sense this is YouTube now guys by
the way I'm dying from League ma so like
and subscribe and I'll give you an
invisible potato so then a couple of
weeks later extreme games uploaded
another video called he sings for his
dying brother don't cry he begins this
video by crying as he says that his
brother only has four weeks to live
definitely real tears guys and then they
feature a montage of highlights from
their videos and he sings etc etc but by
my count it's been four weeks since they
initially posted and they are still here
extreme game said that they went to a
doctor in America called dr. Bergman
they also did an iPhone X giveaway in
this video just so you know so this
doctor they found him on YouTube don't
you just love YouTube and he's a
chiropractor and if you subscribe to him
it will improve your chances of winning
the iPhone so the video goes on and they
go see this chiropractor and he does
some like chiropractic stuff on their
backs and he basically magically heals
their diseases amazing so last time I
checked you can't cure kidney disease by
going to see a chiropractor so extreme
games maintain that they were really
suffering from terrible illnesses they
responded to the accusations that they
lied on Twitter they tweeted at keemstar
and Leon lush before we came to dr.
Bergman they told me that my lungs would
fill with fluid and I will drown in my
sleep or I will get a blood clot in my
heart and die that was supposed to
happen in the next four weeks if I
stopped my meds
okay yeah the kidney disease might have
been a real thing but I just don't get
why they went to the chiropractor to
cure that it doesn't it doesn't work
like that you can't cure kidney disease
with
visit to the chiropractor maybe the
medication cured him and that's what
actually happened but that doesn't
change the fact that he crossed promoted
a chiropractor and his brothers said
that he was dying from vertigo anyways
guys too much internet for one day that
is all I have for you on that it's time
