This is another sponsored video (for NordVPN) that he hasn't disclosed up front.
It's now become his modus operandi. There is no clear disclosure that it's sponsored content at the start of the video.
Someone needs to compile a VERY brief and professional email to send to his sponsors detailing his subscriber count, average RECENT views, and estimated active subscriber count based on those views. His sponsors are getting HYPER ripped off. Glasses USA, NordVPN, whoever the fuck else is writing these huge checks - they all deserve to know.
A perfectly plausible reason why Omaze just “lolnope” their way out of sponsoring Boogie’s 1hr long vid when he went to his hometown. This guy is a wildcard. One moment he’s “Mr. Rogers” nice, then the other moment: mind games / bragging about what he’ll do to women / “My Life Sucks gais : (“ / “Haters can’t stop me, Love ya <3 “ / getting himself into tight jams / letting his anxiety get the best of him. Since almost all of his activity has been chronicled on social media, everything he’s done has been under a microscope (& in several cases, screencaped or recorded), giving those companies another angle to look at this.
All of those reasons above, just like for all of us regular folk, are one surefire way to ensure a company doesn’t collaborate with you.
I think only 4 of his videos as of early June were actually officially sponsored by 2 sponsors: NordVPN & GlassesUSA (to get Boogie style glasses or regular glasses in a subscription every month). Seeing how Boogie’s been hemorrhaging subs & views (+ the commission he gets for people using his referrals hasn’t been promising), maybe he’s getting less for July & the months ahead. Plus, none of them were even remotely close to gaming.
Absolutely.
Start with this book: https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-Surviving-RECOVERING-CHILDHOOD/dp/1492871842
It's not a therapy book, but rather a sort of overview of the recovery process as told by a psychologist who was abused as a child and went through it.
I would read it. It will give you a lot of guidance as to how to assess where you are at in your healing and where to go from there.
I've got a few posts in my account history about my experiences with CBD oil and ketamine to treat the trauma aspects of CPTSD. These treatments were done with about a year and a half of work with a trauma therapist doing CBT and EMDR.
Now, that I have healed the trauma aspects of it, I am starting to work on the personality disorder aspects of it that unfortunately come from being raised by shitty parents and working on becoming part of a community of people again. I do this with work with my therapist and via a 12 step recovery program with my church.
You have to be willing to accept that you are an asshole and just saying "I have C-PTSD" or "I am dissasociating" doesn't actually mean shit. Harmful actions cause harm. End of story.
12-step recovery programs usually have rules prohibiting you from speaking about anyone else while you are in group. You can only talk about yourself. It's tough, because you can't use your past as a crutch anymore to evade accountability.
I won't lie. The treatment process can be expensive though. Ketamine set me back about $3k and the therapy sessions are $180 and out of my insurance network.
This is why Boogie2988 pisses me off so much lately. Most people who have his high of an ACE score won't ever be able to make enough money to afford to do the work. He's been given this incredible financial opportunity and he's not only not doing the work, but he's spending it on fucking cars.
I watched a video by a humble carpenter on Youtube the other day. He had an interesting outlook about m'algorithm. His main point was that things worked out better for him but he goes on to theorise that Google isn't analyzing video content but rather the type of audience the video attracted. The idea being to identify the type of people that watch content advertisers find inappropriate and then demonetize videos that type congregates toward. It makes sense, explains the collateral damage, and is far easier for Google to do since they already profile the users.
So what type of people would that be? Apparently the less educated, right-leaning (or differs to the California liberal leanings), redneck types. Which is why things like drag-racing gets caught in the collateral damage of demonetization despite nothing being outright advertiser unfriendly. An interesting side effect is that talking about m'algorithm all the time becomes a real bad thing. You'll attract the unwanted viewer type to your content as they seek to understand the issue that affects their preferred content.
What would that mean for Boogie? Bad times. He's been growing an audience of edge lords, racists, sexists, and bigots. They'll quickly sail him down the river of demonetization. Imagine that. The Boogie empire toppled by his own fans.
Is that why he stopped doing Lootcrate drops? I think Boogie still has a valid promo code with them & was a big “ambassador” for their products each month, but that was a memorable sponsor for his channel. Other than that, his other sponsors were NordVPN (which to me goes and outreaches to everyone, a la SquareSpace) and GlassesUSA.
To be fair, their quality was declining (I never bothered to sub to them), and I highly doubt stagnating/declining Boogie would resuscitate them.
But as I’ve said ad nauseam in this sub, all it takes is a quick glance at Boogie’s Twitter feed, and a company would think twice or even reject to work with him any further. This can’t be any further from the truth since almost all of his work is fine & chronicled via social media.
If you dont wanna give boogie views/adsense, just trade the YOU letters from the video for HOOK. Like this https://hooktube.com/watch?v=os_k1QquZTA
There was enough said the other thread but one thing i only saw now was the video description.
>My divorce is 100%, entirely, and fully over. I can do whatever I want however I want :) I can say whatever I want and go wherever I want.
It's like he is shouting to the sky "I AM FINALLY FREE!" while ignoring the part that he was already searching for women before the divorce started lol.
There is another possibility: it was a ploy to keep Dez around. I recall him once saying that their marriage wasn't going well for a year prior to them separating. If it was that clear to him that she was going to leave, he may have seen weight loss surgery as a last-ditch effort to get her to stay. There are countless ways he could have held it over her head, such as: "I am going to take my weight issue seriously and really do something about it," "I'm doing this for you," "I need you here while I do this prep, I can't do it on my own," "you can't leave me, I just had surgery." Remember, we are talking about a highly manipulative, abusive individual. The lowest weight he has shown while standing on a scale is 359 pounds. Even if that image and his recent claims are true, it would still mean he's been in the 350-370 range since early March. To maintain that weight, he must be consuming in the neighborhood of 3,000 calories a day. The procedure is no longer limiting how much he can eat. It is solely up to him now to control his consumption and make better choices. You are right, he did nothing with the surgery. He had the opportunity to develop healthier eating habits while he was physically forced to restrict how much he ate, but he didn't.
Here is where he talks about how he won't be able to have soda for the rest of his life and that any carbonated beverage will make him violently ill.
Does Sammy have enough treats by any chance Boogie?
Fucking christ, the kitchen was bad enough before you end up eying up the 8 or 9 bags of fucking dog treats just sitting on the counter, is he expecting the fucking apocalypse or does Sammy eat his body weight in treats every bloody day?
For reference, Sammy seems to like "Nudges" brand and "Good'n'fun" brand.
GlassesUSA & NordVPN are the only notable sponsors in Boogie’s videos nowadays. The others either dropped him because of his behavior or the companies in question became bankrupt: Even though he doesn’t mention them in his vids, he plugs them in his video description.
When I was still a fan, I was considering using his NordVPN promo code (to save a few $), but I’ve used another YouTubers code. If a miracle were to happen if Boogie were to get a new sponsor would be to get one that everyone else uses, like SquareSpace / SkillShare / even Men’s Shave Club.
Looks like he forgot to buy the beard dye too, though.
The main "redeeming quality" of this sub is the relative freedom of speech and expression. That doesn't mean freedom for some and less freedom for others. That's why it's called freedom of speech.
Edit: Pro-tip in case anyone doesn't understand this: It is absolutely possible to ignore users on Reddit and hide their posts from sight. It's also possible to block entire subreddits. Reddit Enhancement Suite is a neat tool that adds a lot of little features to reddit, and works with the new layout.
"Sometimes you gotta make concessions when you're eating social, you know what I'm saying... As long as you keep your carbs under 100 carbs a day, you're still gonna lose weight... This isn't how I normally eat." (Boogie, a few weeks ago)
But, but, his body breaks the laws of thermodynamics, remember? He has hormonal issues and anti-motabolism.
>There are a lot of reasons. My inability to stand or walk is part of it. My messed up hormones due to a possible pituitary tumor in my brain could be part of it as well. It is measurably true that my metabolism is ruined after a lifetime of inactivity and overeating. It is further complicated due to my mental addiction, now diagnosed btw, to food. (Source.)
Edit: He must be fudging his numbers. He can claim how many calories he's eating all day, and in one of those recent clips he called out the Bariatric app that he uses and says that it syncs up with his doctors charts so they can see what he eats too. But how easy is it to just not record things he doesn't want to? I don't know why he holds that up as some kind of verification. And if all of this is so impossible, how the fuck did he lose the 100lbs to qualify for the surgery? He managed that trick somehow, in spite of everything.

Dont be downloading random .exe files boogie...
What about NordVPN that you sold your self for? Dont you use it? How the hell would BOOGIE get hacked when he was shilling for one of the biggest VPN companies out the selling a product designed to prevent you from getting hacked!
Or person he gave his twitter login information to, his "social media guide" actually turned on him?
I was amused by the part where he misspoke and said he hung a decoration off of the water rafters, before doing another take. It was nice of him to leave both in during the editing process.
In case anyone is interested, those screencaps are from McJuggerNuggets' latest video. Skip to 5:17 if you just want to see Boogie gyrate on a rabbit sculpture.
okay but who are his sponsors? I don't watch any of his livestreams, but checked a few of his descriptions on his YT vids and saw no mention of sponsors. I know, being familiar with digital monetization, NordVPN pays on an affiliate model. Same with BetterHelp (i heard he stopped doing that). Does Lootcrate even still exist?
Does he mean subscribers on Twitch as 'sponsors'? Because scanning over his Youtube, he has none.
as far as I can tell, he's another young white male pretending to be transgender because it's epic, and, it would seem, that he is also jealous of narcissa.
>Cyberdemon531 created the r/speedruncelebrities subreddit, a forum that spends an inordinate time obsessing over former speedrunner Narcissa Wright. Wright came out as transgender in November 2015 and has been subjected to harassment ever since.
and he's been banned from gdq for wearing a MAGA hat and attacking a staff member. so he sounds like another typical edgelord.
>Cyberdemon531 released a blog post condemning that doxxing, but still took the time to attack Klaige over claims that the banned runners brigaded “alt-right crazies” against him

No he is not boogie, just a crazy disgusting cult follower of him.
He is fat, and bald and bearded and just as disgusting as boogie:

https://www.tiktok.com/share/user/6617246251237408773
He posted on boogies forum that he also had weight loss surgery but gained all the weight back. He is on disability, doesnt work, just sits at home, eating disgustingly and films it on tiktok.
People like that should just be removed from society.
Well actually smartphone gimbals nowadays are at a comfortable 75-200$ (the “sweet spot” is 150$) since tech improved & these things aren’t supposed to be as intuitive as DSLR gimbals (which are 400-700$). Things such as the [DJI Osmo Mobile 2]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078XJSCYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_A4jiDb2W87GVE) are easy to use & at minimum doesn’t require any add-ons.
Even if Boogie wanted to do this “low tech”, he can buy a compact/small tripod that could be collapsible and form a makeshift gimbal/stand for usually less than 30$. But it’s cringe that Boogie claims to be a techie… and rely on his Samsung smartphone as his sole camera whenever he’s out of his house.
… or better yet, at least buy a camera altogether! Basic DSLRs like a Canon Rebel T7 are at minimum 400$, and several “mega bundles” exist on Amazon that give a head start (even though some of those things are something photographers dismiss, but good if you’re a novice). I’m highly confident Boogie can buy one, maybe two to give a friend (record another POV), and at minimum those cameras record maybe a few minutes (at max 30 mins due to rules) of video at a decent quality. A camera that can handle video work (high end Panasonic cameras come to mind) or a camcorder/high end video camera can do more.
Can confirm since I use these things for my photography / amateur videography work.
A true champion of the LGBT community. Similar to his claim that some good came out of the Holocaust, albeit not enough, a man who said Fred Phelps (Westboro Baptist Church) did more good than harm because he brought people together.
> its mostly just for archival as storyfire doesn't moderate or censor people
I've seen a lot of creators set up shop on https://lbry.com/, that would be a much better option for anti censorship than storyfire, which is just Vimeo.
This must explain how Boogie is managing to make around half a million a year. If exposure to 100k is worth over 3 grand then companies like glasses USA and NordVPN probably lose their shit when they hear he's got 4.5 million subscribers.
The issue I have is I don't think a lot of these companies are aware of how many inactive subs these older youtube channels have accumulated. Judging from the data it looks like over 95% of his subs don't even watch his videos anymore.
>blames everything for the accident except himself. Truck driver having a stroke and now says it started raining so the road was slippery. (someone check what the weather was like in Lexington Kentucky at the time of the accident btw to make sure this is correct)
He's talking about Lexington, Tennessee. I can't see the history for it on my normal site (going to the calendar jumps to the calendar for Blytheville, AR). The most I can find elsewhere is that it got 0.01 inches of rain (https://weather.com/weather/monthly/l/Lexington+TN+38351:4:US). That's not enough to do anything. Maybe it's enough to make an idiot driver freak out that it's going to make the road slick so they drive like an even bigger idiot, but I doubt it would make the road slick at all.
tech illiterate goobers, hooktube DOES NOT WORK and is maintained simply as a lightweight youtube client.
straight from the changelogs. you are giving boogie views and ad revenue.
Sovitia is not a bad person. Waffle is not a bad person (in this drama... may not apply to other dramas... ahm SVG... ahm )
part of the deleted vod that i cut to prove it's not sovitia fault: https://sendvid.com/s1677gkz
PS. Fuck adobe premiere for messing up the video framerate. audio is still good.
PS2. Pancakes are better than waffles.
> The sponsorship is for a doorbell. Not your usual gaming/tech related sponsorship deal (RAID, NordVPN, etc)
Thanks for explaining, wouldn't want to give him the view so I haven't seen him plug it. It's a weird choice to sponsor him unless someone working for that company is a fan of Boogie.
The sponsorship is for a doorbell. Not your usual gaming/tech related sponsorship deal (RAID, NordVPN, etc)
It's very likely there a clause in the contract that he won't get any money unless the video gets x amount of views.
I’m sure I have seen him talking about the importance of using a vpn while advertising for nord vpn over the last year stating that he would lose too much if he was hacked so that he always uses one to scramble things.
I don’t have to time to search through though.
This is bad news for one of his sponsors, this looks really bad for NordVPN
I think he had the link in a screenshot someone posted a while back. I'm pretty sure he's just in their affiliate program, so he makes money from that if people buy glasses from there rather than if people just see it or click the link or whatever.
It looks like his most recent video is sponsored by NordVPN according to the description. I'm not sure how many people are still sponsored by them since that breach was made public.
Care to explain more about that or maybe give me some terms I can search up? I use ExpressVPN but I’m sure they’re similar and I don’t in fact know how vpns work, I’m worried that I’m being scammed somehow
