    I think he had other videos he used to make on YT unrelated to food. But it appears he may have deleted all of them once he started transitioning into comp eating. Im guessing he renamed the channel too. I just am guessing based on his YouTube community posts…

    Or, he bought 100K subscribers somehow

    He did some animal type videos but why keep the subs count with a full subject change and name change? He’s just another delusional who is seeking fame and fortune in a dead market.

    Not sure what’s funnier. The fact they used a pic of a challenge he failed as the main pic in the article, or the fact this guy thinks he’s fooling anyone with that fake sub count. Even if he did have a previous channel of an unrelated topic to eating, it’s still very deceiving to try and sell yourself as something you’re not.

    Just glancing at this guy’s social media you can tell he’s arrogant. He’s even listed himself as a 4 star capacity on Randy’s site, but a major of his wins are dinky challenges anyone could beat. Watching the videos, you can tell he’s another one trying to copy beard, the candid video shots, the same kind of voice over, and the jokes. Only beard is funny and he’s not.

    From the article:
    “Kyle Can Eat” from Potterville, Michigan, is quickly making a name for himself in the world of food challenges.
    Answer: Uh, no he isn’t. What did Kyle write this himself?

    Kyle started his journey just over a year ago, and has already become a social media favorite for fans of fantastic food feats.
    Answer: this is utterly hilarious. Complete BS. No one even knew who this guy was on eatfeats until now. Let alone anywhere on social media.

    He’s a poor version of Goat. At Josh has somewhat of a niche going in a dead market. Ya gotta love his intro song. I guess I am an honorary member of the Goatie Gang! 🙂

    He says he has to eat a little less? Well you actually have to eat a LOT less at the new pace he’s now addicted too.

    He’s in Michigan? Well, anyone with half a brain in eating knows that there already is Nathan Klein who has been destroying Michigan challenges for years now. Kyle brings zero to the eating game/market in Michigan.

    Nathan Klein is a bum. Anyone is better than him

    How is Nathan Klein a bum? Just because he’s not among the top 10% of eater in the speed or capacity departments?

    Not everyone can be a top caliber pro eater. Most people that do this stuff are not, but can still be good “food challengers” and provide decent content.

    My guess is that, in reality, anyone and everyone is better than YOU

    Nathan relax. Immediately agitated. You aren’t in the 10% of eaters and you ride
    on Molly’s nose rings to try and get publicity but you fail. Michigan’s biggest disappointment. Not even as an eater but as a person 😉

    Yeah, Klein is such a coat tailer period. Without coat tailing his channel would be nothing. Wait, it is nothing anyway.

    This is not Nathan that posted. I’ve never even done a challenge with him. I don’t think he’d even be agitated by your comment. Is it possible that he is friends with Molly?

    I think you’re mistaken that everyone is chasing views/clout. Some people actually just do this stuff as a hobby and because they enjoy it

    Looks like Kyle did another challenge yesterday. That makes 4 in 1.5 weeks. Bro is already addicted and more than likely barfing. I wouldn’t have guessed barfing until I saw how homely he looks and how buddy buddy he is with Jack Legath. I’m sure Jack gave all his secrets to his new buddy. Post exercises online, claim you do 1 challenge per week, say you do it to promote restaurants, the usual lies that all new eaters give when they can’t admit they have eating disorders and they do this for their own addiction. Well I guess Kyle’s 102K subs will help bring some money in since he’s killing it with the views. He’s more successful than Eli Lessig in a fraction of the time! Watch out Eli, we have a new star!

    Kyle Can Eat made a community post being pretty transparent about his sub count on YT. Looks like he earned legit subs a while back but then changed content/direction. He has a ways to go in Michigan though if he’s trying to hit the Nathan Klein ranks.

    I think Kyle Can Eat made a community Post on his YT about the sub count thing and being from his previous brand. I guess its whatever. His sub count doesn’t change his low views. Being in Michigan, he’s no Nathan Klein.

    Wonder why he quit his original content? Not many people would just abandon ship on a suscessful 100K channel. Looks like he’s made comments about talking about in the future but never has… Hmmmm seems odd.

    8:10 and 8:12 after reading that subreddit it seems like he might be a decent dude to be honest.

    According to reddit, YouTube kept taking down or demonetizing his videos related to his Animal Control officer content.
