Nikocado Avocado is a popular Youtuber who rose to fame around 2013. He is most popular for his provocative mukbangs and unique character and personality. He also is known for his viral video saying, “Two steps ahead, I am always two steps ahead.” He often makes videos collabing with other mukbang youtubers, making out with guys during videos, and using pictures from it as thumbnails.
Recently, Nikocado Avocado posted a video that shocked the internet, titled “Two Steps Ahead.” He posted a video revealing that he lost over 300 pounds and made a complete transformation. Everyone was wondering how he made this dramatic of a change when his last video was only 6 months ago. In the video, he reveals that the last 2 years of content on his page were pre-recorded and he hasn’t filmed any content in the last 2 years. During this time he was making his transformation. The video starts off with him wearing a panda head mask for about the first minute and the first line is his famous, “two steps ahead.” He then talks about how this was all a social experiment and we—everyone on the internet consuming his content—were like little ants. The social experiment was referred to as the greatest social experiment of his life: alluring, compelling, gripping, and dangerous. Nikocado Avocado says in the video, “I feel as if I’m monitoring ants on an ant farm. One follows another, follows another, follows another. It’s mesmerizing. It’s spellbinding. All these little consumers. All of these lost and bored. People! People consuming anything that they’re told to consume.” Many people online found this video quite creepy as he says these words in a dark tone and talks very slowly. This is very different from the usual Nickacado and everyone could tell that he has obviously changed a lot. I would definitely recommend watching this video if you haven’t seen it yet, as it is a very intriguing story.
