    Uh-oh, did the self proclaimed “#1 Competitive Eater In Ohio” lose a contest today to some local amateur? Jacky Legathy won’t be posting that loss. I heard he entered the contest THREE times and still couldn’t win. It’s quite funny since he only enters amateur contests and finally got burned at one! LOL

    Oh look more people obsessed with Jack Legath and his happenings. Fact of the matter is Jack has a solid following and out performing 90% of other people right now on social media. Don’t give me that BS about him buying followers either. His engagement on his posts state otherwise. It’s also pretty clear by his content that he doesn’t care much about the contest game anymore.

FRAUD!! yeah moron, thats normally how social media follows/subs happen. slow and steady increases with spikes here and there based on one post performing unusually well. just support each other for fuk sake.

    The problem with most of these pho restaurants is that is either lack of noodles or lack of beefthey don’t serve competitive eating like portions I prefer ramen noodles because it’s impossible to skimp on that

    I was gonna say who cares how many followers one has on Facebook Correct me if I’m wrong but does fb pay you based upon how many followers you have?When you post on Facebook with the exception of your close friends nobody gives a shit about what you have to say with the exception of your close friends Either they don’t care or are not seeing your posts

    From Grok: “Can you buy followers on YouTube?” Yes, you can technically buy YouTube subscribers (often called “followers” in this context), but it’s strongly not recommended and comes with major risks. There are many websites and services (like Media Mister, SocialWick, Views4You, and others) that openly sell YouTube subscribers in 2026, advertising “real,” “active,” or “targeted” ones with guarantees like refunds, retention warranties, or gradual delivery to make it look natural. Some even claim low prices (e.g., fractions of a cent per subscriber). People and reviews discuss using these to boost numbers quickly, especially for hitting monetization thresholds like 1,000 subscribers.

    9:52 – Get a clue. Ok, let’s not buy followers. How about PAYING to promote videos via YouTube itself? Yeah, pathetic. This is obvious as well.

    Here you go dumb fuk:

    From Youtube;

    The main official way to promote a single video on YouTube and boost its views through paid means is via YouTube’s “Promote” feature (also called YouTube Promotions or Promote on YouTube). This is a simplified tool built into YouTube Studio that lets you run YouTube Ads campaigns directly—powered by Google Ads—to get your video in front of more people as an ad. It’s designed for creators to increase views, engagement, subscribers, or other goals on specific videos (including regular videos or Shorts).
    This is the “promotion program” most creators refer to for paid view growth on individual videos.

    8:16 – Really? With this big GROWING channel he keeps posting about? 71,000 followers and then look at the engagement. Look at the numbers you just posted and then ask yourself if that makes sense at all. It doesn’t. Go look on socialblade and see consistent (very consistent) daily adds of followers. Uh no. Does anyone have half a brain around this site?

    Google ads can take you the cleaners unless you set a budget for yourself they charge you per click if your ad running on your YouTube video your debit or credit
    Is linked to google ads no guarantee that you will earn revenue even if someone clicks the ads running on your video

    OJ, yeah you don’t think Beard isn’t doing active subs promotion? He is. Stonie isn’t anymore. People just don’t get the concept that people are adding subs that is NOT ORGRANIC subs adds. I’m not sure what I have to do here to get these stupid people to realize it. Here is the current Stonie stats. Note ZERO subs.

    Stonie: Check out the stats from socialblade.

    https://ibb.co/4ZYSW9Hy

    Now look at Beard’s. Do people really think these 10K adds in subs and then the 4K avg per day is REAL? It’s NOT real people!

    Are people this stupid to think that there are 10,000 people every other day that subscribe to his channel? Really? Someone doing the exactly same over and over now for years? Sure people. And the tooth fairy is real. Here is a screenshot from Socialblade.

    Here is EriktheElectric and his stats. Again, compare to Beard who is actively paying to add subs. What do you see? Looks like’ Stonie’s non activity except one add of 10K the last month.

    https://ibb.co/VcLgPr8X

    Are you delusional morons getting it yet? I’ve pointed this out many times before on here but since OJ seems to be seeing it now I figured I would try once more to show you low IQ people with eating disorders here.

    Something doesn’t make sense why is stonie averaging $30 to $40 per day sometimes even less in revenue and beard is averaging $300-$600 a day in revenue It appears that something is fishy going on with beard subs nobody averages 10k in subs every other day

    423 I think the only way you can get a truly accurate read is to get it from the horses mouth try text booker shout stonie beard etc I say your chances of getting a response from any of them sharing their personal earnings is less than one percent
