    The question is will Legend in his Own Mind Jack Legath show up to compete, win, and then go whine after on facebook with his Mommy after the win gets revoked due to him not being an amateur?

    This is a different wing pole, not the one that has been hosted by Club Rusque the past few years. El Wingador and Cheerleaders are stealing the name and attempting to hold their own contest. It will suck.

    USMALE will be at one of the WIng Pole’s. Brunelli will be at the Risque one, I’m sure. He’s mopped the floor at that contest the last few years.

    Not so Jacked will definitely attempt to get there. His specialty is amateur contests and challenges that no one of any skill has won. He travels hours on end to challenges so his ego doesn’t get hurt and gets a record, when there’s plenty of challenges in his area he can do. I saw he recently was humbled again when he couldn’t break Nathan Klein’s record at Red Knapps. Even in the video he talked about how he was disappointed at the end. But hey, he says he’s just doing it for fun so what do I know.

    Let’s talk about a few “challenge eaters” who in a saturated and flat market are perpetuating a con. Let’s start with the king of con, Eli Lessig. Eli will coattail any and everyone he can for subs and views. In fact, his “mentor” and the guy he coattailed for months Garbarge Disposal with 5 times the subs at over 100K is now getting crushed by Eli in views. Eli’s views to subs ratio is so far out of whack from the market. Is it his energy and charm? His super unique videos (ya right) that bring such new content? Nope. Anyone ever heard of socialblade? You see, in literally two weeks Eli has gone from about 42K views to a whopping 262K views (weekly data). How is this possible? His charm? Nope. You see you can pay money for views, subs, etc. All one has to do is start comparing this con channel to those well established with many times the subs that are active and better eaters and more interesting videos even in the food challenge arena. Also, watching the current Youtubers eating channels and their sub adds and numbers for even a week and it becomes clear we have a few con artists. And, the ratios. And, compare. BTW The total subs added by Eli from 11/9 to 11/27 is 7300. Just an FYI for those of you still living in the Matrix and are struggling for new subs. LMAO.

    Let’s talk real data for the con of YouTube. This doesn’t apply just to YouTube, eating channels there, but to social media in general.

    Eli has added 3200 subs from 11/18 to 11/23. Let’s do some comparative analysis to some other active more popular channels especially in overall subs for the same time period. Eli has 26.9K subs. His overall subs have gone up 484% in the last 30 days. Magic! Such a force of energy and uniqueness! No wonder. Cha right.

    Eli Lessig: 26.9K subs, 3200 new subs!
    Katina Eats Kilos: 852K subs, Added 2000 new subs in the same time period. She is up 16.7% for subs the last 30 days. You read that right.
    Randy Santel (the GOAT!): 1.73M subs, NO new subs the last 30 days. Flat.
    Garbage Disposal: 117K, 1000 new subs (this is suspect btw). He was tracked previously of adding subs like clockwork in bunches when he was going for his 100K.
    Molly Schuyler: 287K subs, NO new subs in the same time period.
    Dan Killer Kennedy: 58K subs, 200 new subs in the same time period.
    Scott Eats: 67.6K subs, 300 new subs added in the same time period.

    Oldguyeats which is a small channel after collabing with Eli in July all of a sudden went from a flat 20 to 30 subs to 300 per week. That’s right, that is 10 times the subs. Magic! Everyone who has half a brain on YouTube knows one time collabs don’t really do that much for sub count. So, what happened? Alien intervention? Eli is a voodoo priest and he put a positive hex on Old Man’s channel after he did his own?

    Why post this? Well, again, to get people to realize they are living in the matrix and to actually poke their head up and use some critical thinking about what is going on. And definitely not get dejected when they see others getting numbers WAY beyond what they are getting and wonder what the heck they need to do! Well, pull our your wallet of course. 😉 This obviously is not unique to eating. There are so many con accounts out there in all topics with bogus numbers.

    So let’s continue this. Time period 11-27 to Dec 1.

    Eli Lessig: 1200 subs! Magic!
    Clark: zero
    Randy Santel: Zero
    Molly: Zero
    Magic Mitch: Zero
    Jeff Esper: Zero
    Dan Kennedy: Zero

    Magic! Eli is a dominating force now! Crushing everyone in views, comments, and subs with currently his massive 30K sub base, Take a look at the subs to comments and subs to likes ratios of a typical video of long established eaters. And, compare them.

    For all the smaller long time channels looking to be famous and rich eating, don’t fret when you struggle to gain traction. The con is real and the subs count on even some of the other long established channels are not fully real.

    Let’s do another data point for all the delusional out there.

    Molly’s latest video: 17K video views in 2 days. Again, she has a 287K sub base.

    Eli Lessig: 28.6K subs (he’s adding daily in droves – see above for subs count compare). He gets 17K views in ONE day. Magic!
    He’s cracked the YouTube algorithm code! Legend! Check out that ratio of views to sub count again and compare EVERYONE in the eating market on YouTube.

    Don’t quit your day jobs people. Everything is not what it appears to be on Social Media. Fame! Fortune! I’m going to be the next Randy or Beard! Uhhhhh no delusionals.

    Eli has added 4600 new subs already in December! We still have half of a month to go! Amazing! The next beard! What’s the matter with the rest of you YouTubers?! Slackers and slugs I guess? He just passed 30K now. Did everyone see his 30K subs video? Wait, he didn’t do one. I wonder why?

    Now, he isn’t the first one to have fake subs, obviously. But in his case, it is so blatant and easy to spot. Does anyone wonder how James warped to over 100K instantly all of a sudden? Overnight basically adding 5 figures to subs. Hmmmmm.

    The question is, if someone uses an inaccurate true sub count on their channel on their resume to promote themselves with restaurants, does that perpetuate fraud? If someone uses a resume to get a job with faked experience, accomplishments, etc. I am pretty sure they would get fired as a result if found out.

    Some new stats for all the YouTube delusionals about the saturated market and also show the fraud and con being propagated with a few YouTubers by purchasing promotion view fake subs/views/ etc. Pat Deep Dish’s latest video…the dude who won Nathans….34 views in 9 hours.

    An update on the biggest con….Eli is now basically getting 1 for 1 (even though he’s adding fake subs 100’s per day to get his sub count way higher) on subs versus views. He gets about 30K per video or higher with a current sub count that is now 32.8K. He’s now added 5600 new subs in December as an update too. We have 11 days left in December! What’s a matter with all the rest of you! You aren’t keeping up! He’s gone viral baby. Must be his high energy and unique concepts in his video!?

    5:07 am– you’re clearly an obsessed fan of CE, but likely not a very successful eater in your own regard. You also don’t understand how YouTube algorithm works. Nobody watches Pat’s videos because very few people KNOW he won Nathan’s, compared to Joey, and his videos are not high quality or well-edited. Nothing against him, but people on YouTube don’t care about personal accolades or titles if your videos don’t provide them any enjoyment.

    How do you even monitor and keep track of gains in sub counts? you have some excel sheet you update daily?? Just get a life–this shit ain’t that important.

You must be an older person to ask the last question. Here, let me educate you….open a browser. Go to Google.com and put in “how to track social media analytics” Ah heck.

    Update: As of December 30, Eli has added 7900 subs in just December. The new beard! His sub-count to views is still whacked and won’t be in the real range until he gets way more subs. This is the ratio of subs to actual views. His is consistently almost 1 to 1 or higher. Again for all the woeful delusionals out there keep your head up. It’s not real. But, alas, again he’s not the first YouTube channel to do this. It happens all over. There are YouTube and IG accounts that are actually real and popular with views because they call out the fakes and frauds in all topics/fields. I mean use common sense people. He brings nothing new with his videos and in fact, he’s drier than an Arizona dessert and is frankly not that good of an eater. And, now he’s trying to copy what Beard is doing formula-wise.

    Let’s do some channel compares once again.

    Molly Schuyler – 288K subs. Added 1000 subs in December.
    Dan Kennedy – 58K subs. Added 200 subs in December.
    Josh The Goat – 3.7K subs. Added 40 subs in December.
    Geoff Esper – 64K subs. Added 100 subs in December.
    Max vs food – 24.8K subs. Added 600 subs in December.
    Brandon Clark – 199K subs. Added 2000 subs in December.
    Scott Eats – 69K subs. Added 1300 subs in December.

    Eli – 35.2K subs (and rising like a rocket!). Added 7900 subs in December.

    Lets look at views on the last 4 videos with comparing some long-established channels who are active in posting videos. At least 1 day posted.

    Geoff Esper – 10K, 10K, 15k, 6.7K
    Dan Kennedy – 19K, 11k, 12k, 9.9K
    Molly Schuyler – 21k, 21k, 28k, 21k
    Scott Eats – 18k, 6.6K, 26k, 11k

    Eli Lessig – 24k, 31k, 31k, 30K

    Compare the subs above to the views obtained on the videos. Keep in mind Eli’s sub count also went up 7900 in one month to get him to his current 35k he continues to add 200 and 300 subs PER day EVERY day.

    I will add a quote to finalize this:
    “Fake it till you make it” works until it doesn’t. Truth always comes knocking. Consider all these posts just that.

    Happy New Year!

    Some more data for the delusional out there and also exposing the frauds and con men with their buying promotion and views and subs….Pat Bertoletti. One of the best eaters in the world obviously and frankly of all time right? His channel on YouTube is DOA. He’s added 40 subs in the last month. His last “eating video” had 347 views. Why? Because the market is saturated on a niche topic where there is only room for a few who are already there and dominating. At least he has integrity with his channel and isn’t a fraud and phony. You also can’t suddenly go viral and have wacky views and subs (and the ratios) with a channel that brings NOTHING new to an already saturated market unless you are a fraud or con man especially if the channel sucks.

    Let’s add in a little more reality. Freak Eating has been around a long time. About 12 years. He actually is very active on social media posting. His latest video has a whopping 444 views in 2 days. Yeah it’s a dessert challenge and for you brainiacs out there they never do as well for some reason. But, even his last videos in the last year are getting less than 2k views. His channel has 116K views. Go back on his channel and see his views compared to now. You delusionals should check out Magic Mitch who has also been around a while and what his current status is. Do you really think someone like Old Guy Eats with his meteoric sub growth lately and the fact he has as much presence as a wet noodle and is cringe too (the stupid fist thing is cringe) is somehow beating these guys in new subs because he is spectacular or has some unlock cheat code? Think again. Freakeating has added no subs the last month even with his active social media posting outside of Youtube. Mitch has added 100 in the last month with nearly 31K subs. While Old Guy has added 300 new subs the last month. New subs daily. Magic!

    January 13, 2025 @ 6:58 am

    WOW! Check this out stat junkies…Old Guy Eats is the new star with his awesome eating performances and camera presence. He is a marketing genius apparently too!

    All videos were published about the same time except Freak, about 1 days worth.

    Will Morse – 386 views
    Heavy D – 290 views
    Josh the Goat – 191 views
    Freak Eating – 589 views
    Magic Mitch (who also has 31K subs and has been around a long time) – 805 views

    And…drum roll….Old Guy Eats – 1500 views. And, he magically unlocked over 1200 overnight! Amazing performance!

  33. LetsRunSomeStats said

    January 14, 2025 @ 7:28 am

    Nathan? Nathan Klein? He’s not a member of the delusional crew. Speaking of the delusional crew I haven’t covered everyone obviously either. Franco Feasts is just another example. I guess none of this crew have any concept of “Markets” and what is going on with YouTube in general these days. And, what they actually bring to their channel that’s different in the market. Then answer is NOTHING. The kings and queens of the market are never mentioned either. That would be Beard (clearly), Randy, Joel, Katina, and Raina (although she is falling off it appears as time passes). Can you say “cornered the market?” It’s quite hilarious watching the UK guys or anyone trying to get traction who is from the UK with Beard dominating. People don’t seem to grasp why people watch him. It’s not about the food. He’s weird-looking because he’s so young and has a big beard. A character so to speak. He’s very funny and in reality, is a comedian too which is foundational. The fame and fortune people are seeking is futile at this point. Geoff Esper has pointed out in his lives many times for example about the reality of “making any sort of significant money” and he’s one of the top eaters in the world right now.

    An update on the biggest con going on with eaters….

    Eli Lessig has continued his hot streak with adding 200 to 300 new subs DAILY EVERY DAY in January! He added basically 9000 new subs in January. On 1/26, 1/27, and 1/28 he added 600, 600, and 700 rather than the consistent daily add of 200 and or 300 new subs. MAGIC! What’s the matter with everyone else with channels ya BUMS! 😉

    In one year now he’s gone from 6170 subs to 35,300 subs. VIRAL baby. The next Beard! He’s gonna be rich and famous! Again, what the hell is the matter with all of you others who have YouTube channels. You guys just aren’t as charismatic as Eli and don’t have such a strong presence on camera?

    Inquiring minds want to know….so if you have a fake sub count and then promote your sub count on your eating resume to say restaurants does that constitute fraud? What what happen if you submit a resume to a company for a job with fake qualifications? What if you got the job and they found out you had lies on your resume about your experience or qualifications? Would they fire you?

    Is Eli Lessig The New GOAT???….his recent collab with maybe the former GOAT Randy Santel with only 44,800 subs has 100K views. Randy has 1.75M subs and is at 109K views. Basically the same! With a fraction of the subs! Is Eli going to overtake Randy as the GOAT of food challenges down the road? Only time will tell people! Sure seems like it. Eli needs to start doing this full time so he can fulfill his destiny as the GOAT of food challenges. Sorry Randy but these numbers are worldly right now and he’s just getting started!
