It's a strange, strange world out there on the Internet…
Sometimes there is something that goes viral on the Internet that is just so random and strange that it's fascinating. Currently, what's boggling my mind in the viral world of TikTok is this TikToker @im.jaron going viral for weird eating videos. Why does this man have over a million followers?… I'm just so confused.
He doesn't do anything crazy, he just eats something, anything, and records himself doing so from a strange POV with a Go-Pro, maybe it's also a fisheye lens? I don't know, I've never recorded myself from that kind of angle every… His videos show him eating Gogurt, tacos, spaghetti, etc. and people are loving it. He also even got his dad on his viral band wagon and has him also making strange POV eating videos—the one where he's eating a taco has over 11 million views! Like… wat.
Maybe it's because nobody would ever think to film themselves or their parent from this horrible angle eating random foods. Because like… why would you?? But he did and now he's a viral sensation. He also gets people interacting with him asking them what he should eat next and then that usually dictates what food will be the one getting devoured in the next video.
I'm very curious how this page looked before he had over a million followers. Because you see how popular he is and you just naturally think, “well, he's gotta be doing something right.” But if he was posting all these strange videos and only had like 13 followers, well… that would be an interesting sight to see. Would so many people still love the content as much? I'm assuming so, because how else did he get all these current followers??
He's done lots of videos from this strange camera angle and gone viral with those too. His first eating one wasn't until over three months after he joined TikTok and it was with a Nutty Buddy candy bar. For some reason, people instantly started commenting other foods he needed to record himself like that eating and that was that. He eventually got his dad on board and BOOM, he's viral for eating things all weird from a weird angle…
Anyways, we love the Internet over here.
