Hold up. Boogie Recently announcing that he's basically broke. shouldn't be dude. Boogie Holy. I I Just want to watch it. Yeah, a surprise to anyone. as if you follow all of his incredibly poor choices made over the last four and a bit. Years You'll understand that bankruptcy was almost I haven't been praying his downfall but I knew that his downfall was there and I knew there was gonna be a video about it because of all the other things avoidable. So let's begin by looking at October 2018, in which Boogie's main source of income, his YouTube channel slowly began to die up. until this point, Boogie had established a reputation as an overweight yet friendly nerdy gamer who people considered filming since they're totally fine with it. Guys, Yeah, that means this is one time let's pause it. I Don't put on anybody's downfall, even my worst enemies. Okay, because it makes me worse than they are and it makes me like you. You don't move, you're not doing, you're not, You're not being better or or you know you're A. in my opinion, when you put on people's downfalls, it's not like that. It's not like that, it's flaws. When he wasn't playing his fat France's character Boogie was telling wholesome stories about his personal life, with one of the more notable ones being a video titled what It's Like To Be Broke In this video, Boogie explained that he'd grown up in a fairly poor environment, so they had decent income. It's just they didn't like to spend it on us kids at least on me and that as a result of that, who is now much wiser with his income? Now you know what I do with my money. Every single dime, every single penny goes into the bank because I don't ever ever want to live that way again, which felt both inspiring and relatable, especially since Boogie highlighted that he now only spent money on things I used every dime to buy better computer equipment to get better, to get better to get better and after just a year and a half, I was able to go off because I started earning my YouTube income. This desire to improve the content unsurprisingly resulted in better uploads. In retrospect, you guys saying Miz and like that I hope I hope that you you think about what you said it and you realize that you're a idiot. Loads and by early 2014 Boogie pass 1 million subscribers before uploading a new video Simply titled how much Money does Boogie2988 make which felt like yet another wholesome yet modest upload which had clearly been made with the goal of helping his audience I Want to make sure you have the tools in mind so that you fully understand how much income we already have coming in and make an educated decision of whether or not you ever want to participate in those kind of thing. But he went on to politely imply that he was making over a hundred thousand dollars per year from YouTube which didn't include third party income like Patreon. So let's take uh, for example, a YouTube channel similar to mine that's bringing in 10 million views per month. If a YouTube channel is ringing in 10 million views for a month, divide that by a thousand. You've got ten thousand to multiply that by a dollar and you'll have a really good idea of how much ad Revenue that channel is bringing in and that if you counted his YouTube channel asset, he himself was worth more than one million dollars. Boogie Are you a millionaire? Well, it depends on how you calculate millionaire if you include my YouTube channel as it is. Yes, after three more years, I'll have earned by then a million dollars total in YouTube Ad Revenue This is followed by Boogie Ray showing his audience that all of the money was being used wisely. The majority of the money we make goes into the bank. We do not live very large body stretching imagination I mean obviously I'm large, but a grotesque amount of money. which led to more positive comments such as wild guess but he's very rich now. He deserves it. Ethanol: I Was wondering see I see on YouTube Hello? come on, it's probably pretty high cow be by B-plus What? B plus what happened I thought we were a at least um uh on the month with those monthly gained video views per month 40 40. Why are things like this? Chat: Why are you think like this like that? Oh this is per day. It's per day because it's it's a time of day. It's a Yes, it's the time of the day. It's the time of the day. I think I don't know how much is it a month I can't see 40 30. So on average? What? like 35 on average I don't look at my stats on YouTube But the only YouTubers that didn't let the money and fame get to his head. He's still just as humble and cool as when he started I admire that amazing video Boogie You're one of the realest, most transparent YouTubers out there and please know that your fans appreciate it I Clicked on this video randomly and I stayed to watch and to be honest I'm really happy This guy makes a lot of money I don't know him, never seen his videos but I'm just glad that he makes money. He's very humble and I respect that a lot. This positive sentiment toward Boogie resulted in more Views, subscribers and Patreon members which strengthened his financial position immediately whilst also giving him the chance to stream on. Twitch opening up another source of income which kept him financially stable during the apocalypse. I will be fine. Uh, losing my YouTube ad Revenue will hit us pretty hard. Uh, but I've Diversified her income things were going so well for Boogie that in August of 2017 he paid for weight loss surgery I'm home from surgery that everything went well. The surgery went way better than I had expected. Uh, the doctor did it in a very short way. While this would initially improve Boogies dramatically. I thought You: it was important that you had a track record of losing weight a little bit right? and then you'd have the surgery. You continue on that regime. So then lose more weight, right? I Thought: just doing it surgery straight up like that out cold doesn't do I'm 110 pounds down since the pre-op diet and then I've lost seven and a half inches from my waistline. It would eventually contribute to him going broke in an unexpected way. But we explained in a video that the married people the weight loss surgery tremendously increases the likelihood that you'll end up getting divorced. The surgery, and the recovery from it is really, really hard on a marriage. 85 percent of marriages fail after the surgery within the first two years. He added that in the lead-up to the surgery, his marriage was already in a rough spot. Our marriage was far from perfect. One major issue that was persistent throughout the entire marriage and that was my anxiety disorder. And as a result of him now being in a healthier condition, his wife suggested that they should divorce. She told me that she was thinking about separating now that it was out of the surgery, and now that it was nice and healthy. we talked about it and decided that she should take a break. Two weeks into that, she called up and said that she had made her decision, that she wanted of things to be a more permanent change and that we should start moving in that direction. Boogie Explained that his wife was extremely generous in the divorce having his data that she did. You guys say why? but I don't understand anything. Far less than 50 of the finances and she's like I I want enough to where I know I'm going to be taken care of and I'm like. Okay, so she gave me a number and I'm like but that's not half more. It wasn't half of what we were worth, it was less. It was less. However, as a result of the law, Boogie ended up giving her half of what he had. Anyway, she's legally entitled to 50 of everything we own. You make sure it's half so she has no recourse moving forward. Well, Boogie's financial position had taken a pretty substantial hit. His audience was still cheering for him with comments such as I hope this is the birth of a new Boogie a healthy Boogie No baggage, just a happy, healthy, outgoing Boogie However, after his marriage would officially come to an end, the opposite of this happened. My brain is kind of in a situation all the time. It's just chaos. this emotional stew in my brain all the time. of positive feelings, negative feelings, numbness, frustration, and anger. You know? not only had the split resulted in a massive blow to Boogie's mental health, but throughout the process, the story time rambling videos which were once uplifting, inspirational, and designed to help his viewers began to feel like they were being made with the goal of saving sympathy pity from the audience. Additionally, Boogie's positive can-do attitude where he wanted to invest his savings into making excellent content for the viewers and transformed into this complete lack of confidence for the future of his channel. And I'm not smart enough to be able to figure that stuff out. I'll never be good at titles I'll never be good at thumbnails I'll never be I'm not being that good at video creation, leading him to do when, then hire somebody, develop an attitude of just wanting to get by as opposed to wanting to grow his audience as long as the as long as my brand has paid, as long as my mortgages paid, as long as as I can keep the lights on, as long as I can support myself and the people that I currently employed. The final video related to his divorce in which Boogie explained that he now fully owned his house. Again, chat guys guys guys editors. some people are are learning okay and they'll do it for free and they'll get the extra amount that they give compared to the averages. So if you make let's say a thousand dollars a month Super like you know Dude I got you bro. I'll I'll work for the extra that I work on in in in percentage. After the thousand dollars a month, let's say okay I'll work. It's not three, it's not free. Some people are confident in their work and they didn't. They know you're gonna, you're my money and they'll and they'll do it. So some people want that, are people stupid, are people stupid, or some people know for a fact that your YouTube sucks because your thumbnails are dog. Okay, I'll fix this right? and then they're gonna ask for a bigger Cuts right? I'll fix your right. but I get the amount extra that you wouldn't be getting if I wasn't if I wasn't doing that work. So the differential say you make two thousand dollars a month that month. Are you representative of that, right? That's that. How is that? Exploiting it? It gave me a viable strategy. happen to have been uploaded in October 2018 which was the very same month where Boogie began to lose subscribers. Guys, it's like having an agent agents. Okay, okay, ice scan them in In In In you guys to finish in it. My agents only get money that they work for by getting bigger deals and they get. They get a portion of that margin but flat amounts they don't get. So are they, Of course are these are: are these guys like getting stabbed? Is that no salary? No, they're not getting scammed. They know what they're doing it, They're covering their skill set and they're giving money. And boom for 2018, which was the very same month where Boogie began to lose subscribers. The decline will be addressed in a video titled State of The Channel 2019 in which he mentioned that the breakup had a significant impact on the Channel's viewership. 2018, as we've talked about was one of the roughest years of my life and it really showed here on the channel. Before going on to state that the story time pity party videos were also impacting the channel negatively. I Know, just complain and whine and just be miserable sharing who and what I am has been counterproductive in a quite a bit in the last year or so. Mostly when it comes to the mental, uh, issues, the anxiety, the depression, stuff like that. Well, you would conclude the video by stating that he was very excited about the future. I'm feeling a lot better and I'm very engaged and excited about what we will be doing here on the channel. However, only three days after this video was uploaded and now Infamous no I get thread will be posted to Reddit which will go on to significantly impact Boogie's reputation. It was titled the Hidden Truth Boogie doesn't want you to know and it featured over 5 000 words showcasing that Boogie wasn't exactly the nice guy he tried to portray. The thread brought up topics such as his behavior on stream, various edgy comments he had made over the years, as well as the way he acted in his marriage, with commenters stating this document is up there with the Constitution and the Magna Carta. However, the thread was posted to a fairly unknown subreddit and if Boogie had simply ignored the thread, people likely would have forgotten about it. Although this isn't what would happen Boogie instead decided to wage a war against the person who began the mega thread. started a war. This guy has been coming at me for five years before going on to complain about the criticism in countless different videos. everything I've ever said and every thought ever done on the internet for the last three years. Just two years prior in 2017, Boogie was handling criticism much more effectively, even stating that some of the points were valid. A lot of people have been discussing me over the past couple weeks I've been on the front page of Reddit and they tend to discuss me in a very negative light, which is reasonable and obviously Boogie's new 2019 strategy of trying to stop the criticism only led to more criticism. Three months after the Mega thread was posted, a new video titled taking a Break I Give Up You Guys Win in which he'd state that he needed a short Break as a result of being anxious and nervous. With fewer uploads and a declining reputation, his monthly subscriber count began to fall off a cliff, losing five thousand, Fourteen thousand, Twenty eight thousand before losing another 42 000 in August 2019 representing a decline of more than a hundred thousand subscribers in only four months. Rather than improving the content, Boogie rammed up the complaints and apologies, which not only led to a decrease in views from an average of 10 million per month to 2 million per month, but it also led to comments from his audience such as: I used to watch every video before. For me, you were like the Mr Rogers of YouTube Oh Hell no. compassionate. Lately, it had just been a problem or whatever, but because of that person, despite Boogie's clear decline in his views, subscribers, and income, his spending habits hadn't changed one bit. As Midway threes collapse, it announced that he was taking on a 100 000 loan to purchase a Tesla I ended up buying the X I still haven't got it fully financed yet? I'm heavily Finance it obviously oh my. God I Just put myself a hundred thousand dollars in debt. My car payment's Seventeen hundred dollars a month or something like that. That's more money than I make on Twitch Wait what? 70? That's it Obviously Oh my. God I Just put myself a hundred thousand dollars in debt. My car payment's Seventeen hundred dollars a month or something like that. That's more money than I make on Twitch that's like half of my YouTube rad Revenue this month. but we then made a tweet about how expensive the car was, giving him another opportunity to make himself look like an idiot I Tweeted out that I was not gonna be able to afford this car Reddit and Twitter lost their minds. Oh you? How do you realize this After the fact though, manipulate people into giving you money. The answer is yes, Give me some money if you guys want to help me pay for my Tesla Please go ahead and dig deep. I Sure would like a free Tesla reach down in your pockets and give me a hundred thousand dollars tonight. which becomes even worse after he'd mentioned that he still owed a bunch of money on his house. The house is worth three hundred thousand dollars I still owe 200 000 in the house. And then he knew the Tesla was going to decline in value over time. but that car is just gonna get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper as it goes. In the year that followed, Boogie's patreon members almost halved from 120 down to 65, partially as a result of him taking long breaks from creating content. You'll notice that for the last three weeks I've really not been updated I have not streamed in three weeks, which accompanied the transformation of his comment section from a once positive Place full of supporters to a wasteland of negativity. No, the cars are a scam, especially when you when you buy a margin that's luxury detracted. It's incredible how openly money oriented this guy is. This guy talks like a minister from some cheesy gaming. Late Night Ministry Were you supposed to send a 50 check for good luck? People think car equals success. What do I buy when I have a little bit of money. Oh immediately card. I mean they think car But it's not. Imagine this guy would win the lottery. He'd be broke within 12 months. That doesn't make sense after he's back and forth with Frank Hassel In early 2021, my voice it says yo what okay says you how is that it says you tell me how it is it says you know Boogie had to Shell out a bunch of money after he's back and forth with Frank Hassel in early 2021 Boogie had to Shell out a bunch of money for legal fees. Let me point out just how expensive all of this was. and obviously I took money out of my bank account and I paid I bought McLennan when I had a lot of a lot of disposable income yo dude. listen man. listen dude. I had Investments I was I was chill I was I want to have something that I I would never send any money? Well I have something I'd be like you know dude when I look at this I did that. It's something that I did as a token as a reminder and I paid it in cash. Why? Because I didn't want to have payments on like every day every month? Oh my. God I have to pay for this. It wasn't like that, it wasn't like that, it was a token need for it out of pocket. This cost tens of thousands of dollars to fight, which also resulted in Boogie producing less content I was advised by everyone to live stream less to make less YouTube videos to say less things that could be taken out of context and used against me before we had a result because you know from Reddit and 4chan that that's what they like to do to me. but that cost me a small fortune and lost wages and lost ad Revenue as well. However, thankfully according to a video titled I am finally rich how Crypto made me Rich Boogie apparently had no financial problems whatsoever. In the video, he explained that back in 2009. Wait, what? We had taken a massive gamble by purchasing a bunch of cryptocurrencies and by early 2021, he had quadrupled his money I basically took every dime I had in liquid funds and invested it in a huge gamble I invested pretty much everything I had into 36. I invested all the way back at 36 back here. and yeah, that's where we currently are with that market. So just something that I doubled my money is an understatement. In fact, I did more than that Boogie then tried to pathetically coax his audience into trying to give him more money. Never filled. Pressure to get one of those memberships down below. Never feel pressured to subscribe on Twitch never feel pressured to make a donation or interact with one of my sponsors. Never feel pressured to buy a t-shirt before going on a state that you plan on taking the money out of crypto to put it into a safer investment. And that's if I don't take the money and invest it on something that will make me money. 36 is pretty good. going to do, however, as highlighted by almost every comment, no incredibly poorly. After posting it, No Shots Man uploaded a new video titled I Need Your Help in which he explained that he had lost almost all of his money to the Crypto market and now required donations from the audience. Well, this is a video I've dreaded making you know I spent a tremendous amount of money on dumb, dumb things. But the biggest issue is that I had a nice big nest egg. but I put my money in the crypto Market in the wrong section and I pretty much lost most of everything. This is the most interesting case study watching someone who hasn't had to work in over a decade finally have to go back to work I remember him saying don't worry about me I'm financially secure to the point that if I stop making videos tomorrow I can live comfortably for the rest of my life. Just remember that the reason this video was filmed in his garden is because if it was filmed in his office, we'd all be able to see his thousands of dollars worth of arcade machines, magic cards. And why is everything Me: Stop making everything about me I guess I'm a nobody I'm nobody. Stop saying you you, you you you guys guys I got that 38 Okay, things went down I lost a lot. Okay, okay. and then I got back in at like 20 24 and now we're at the BTC USD Um, you know it's not doing fantastic. It's not great. Okay, it's not great. It's not bad. It's not great. Okay, it's not bad bad, you know you man. I Mean and rebelia. While it's almost impossible to find a single positive comment on the entire video, Boogie would receive 1 109 in donations. However, this small figure was certainly at the expense of his dignity and reputation. Boogie hasn't seen a single month of positive subscriber growth since May of 2019 almost four years ago, and with no clear desire to change any of his daily habits, it's unlikely that his YouTube channel or financial situation will see any kind of recovery anytime soon. Um, and it's like an all-time low. Most it's hitting right now. it's just bad which is bad but same time. um I don't have much crypto compared to other. like like like more normal things that people like like old people Investments I love that old people like like Boomer Investments You know, like like the real market and like that yo this is X x on the video I'm going through my voice as well that has anyone knows that boy I don't know. he's just so sorry. anyone knows that boy I don't know, he's just so sorry.
