- At one point, he was a king. A lifestyle that 99% of people could only dream of. 500 million views in 2015. $200,000 a month during his peak. And his name was FouseyTube. However, over time, FouseyTube AKA Fousey has slowly fallen out of the spotlight, declining rapidly since his heyday on the platform. How could such a downfall have occured? This video will go over the story of Yousef Erakat. In the Rise and Fall of FouseyTube (Mini Documentary)
Song from 8:47 - 11:24 is "Distant Shores" from the Pixelmon OST, written and composed by Chris Geddes. You can find the original song here - • Pixelmon OST - Distant... and his bandcamp here - chrisgeddes.bandcamp.com/

It’s so difficult to watch someone embarrass themselves like that when they’re clearly having a severe mental break, it’s sad that no one close to him at the time stopped him from acting like that.
It’s a problem when you have a bunch of yes men around you! Sounds like his family told him but he didn’t want to listen
I agree with you however sometimes the being told no doesn’t work with certain people and they do as they please. Also agree with the comment, he was surrounded by yes men.
You are not so easily going to convince a physically imposing person to do the opposite of (or stop) what they have set their minds to do, while they are having a mental break.
This is the reason they invented the straight jacket, and also why orderlies are usually large/strong males.
ive had friends have manic episodes there is actually very little you can do. I would beg them to try to see a health professionals but they just dont see or understand whats going on. It's a very delicate and difficult situation.
Even if they did try to stop, i doubt he would
Damn maybe his professor was right, doing CZcams was the worst thing he could do to himself.
He made millions lol i want to punish my self like that as well

its the price of fame. You can't expect people to be nice, you hope they're nice.
This dude took to much cocaine and steroids, that shit fick you up
I used to watch him in his prime, when his positivity was through the roof. His positive attitude admittedly got me through my deployment in 2015…. He’s a good example of what social media and quick fame will do to ones mind.. Always trying to push the limits only goes so far with the internet. I wonder what his life would have been had he chose a legit career path where his tenacity and work ethic would have shined.
Lol yo bro idek how he got a picture of you in this czcams.com/video/j88vDrB2TmQ/video.html
He has a legit career path right now 🤷♂️
@@frieza2235 You sound slow lmao
The thing is he was acting the whole time he's in real life an asshole
There’s still time to delete this
the amount of research and editing that goes into these videos always blows my mind. I don't know how you're able to release as often as you do
Mate. Anyone who watches CZcams 8+ hours a day could tell this to you straight off the top of their head.
@@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 Not to mention he’s never* 100% accurate.
@@xyzmediaandentertainment8313 Thing is, not everyone does. There's a reason his subscriber count shot up. I certainly don't watch over 8 hours a day.
he's probably not the only person doing the research
@@DistrosProjects No doubt. Depending on how heavily edited the video is, I’ve seen folks say that just editing takes at least 12 hours of their time. It’s why bigger CZcamsrs just hire editors.
I actually feel bad for this one, he seems like a genuine guy who was hungry for success and worked his ass off towards that, and paid with his mental health. I hope he's okay
I don't think I could handle 100k subs tbh
He was an idiot. He sold tickets to a concert , and said drake will come. He never did and he lied about it, running with the money.
I can relate to the taking long breaks. I had a channel called "Crazycatman" Back in 2016 I would upload Lets play videos of games, or tutorials, and just lots of random stuff. My goal was to save up and build a decent computer. I finally found a decent niche of hacking a few mobile games and I made many tutorials, and people paided me to add stuff to their accounts. I made enough to get what I wanted, and then I enjoyed it. I still took income for doing the hacking and it was still profitable. But it just didn't continue. I was running out of Ideas going into 2019 and later that year, I would stop uploading my 1 to 2 videos a day like I did back in 2016, 2018. A few still were able to get 100k to 300k views but that was all it ever accounted for, then I only got a few spikes of videos getting over 20k views. Eventual my lack of wanting to continue and being lazy cause I had got what I already wanted led to me not uploading any content. I still gained enough subscribers seen over the time of my inactivity. CZcams was starting to change its methods of monetization and their filter was getting a bit out of hand. On May 15th 2020 my channel was terminated, just so happen to be my last day of highschool, so yeah. All my saved videos, all my uploads, gone. 15,100 subs. Fast forward to now, I have had ideas and plans now because Im in a way more interesting situation I always wanted to be in which is messing around with my cars I have. I'm deeply in the Audi community and Lexus community that I could potential start a new channel, but yet, at the end of the day, I don't want to turn my hobbies into something I have to take care of on a daily basis, but in reality is still something that could be very profitable if done right.
Hope hes okay yeah but never liked a guy he just allways hops from trend to trend typicall normie
i don’t feel bad for him seems like a narcissist and he’s entitled
also if you ever ate my food like that i’d end up in jail because id beat some humility into him
idk why people think that’s funny where i live its a lot of poverty and respect is everything if you disrespected people the way he did for money would get you killed so i just can’t relate on how this is funny or how anyone would like him but i guess people are raised differently
Here after he returned to IRL Streaming 💀
He never learns
we're going to need a part two to this video, Fousey's comeback NEEDS to be studied...
Agreed
Med students will study this guys footage to learn about what it means to be a narcissistic sociopath hypocritical obsessive compulsive liar. Hope it can change a person into a hollow egomaniac evil POS with no soul
AGREED
I feel really bad for this guy tbh. He seemed like a really nice and genuine guy at the beginning who had a lot of passion but got corrupted by fame and fortune and tortured by the pressure of being famous, which drove him nearly to the point of insanity. It sucks that such a fate had to happen to him but I hope he's in a better place mentally now and can enjoy himself.
I’m pretty sure he is! He’s helping people in Africa now, and has come back to his faith, repented to Allah (god) for the crimes he committed.
@@coolguyishere8851

That's all that matters
His antics from the very beginning were cringey to me.
@@coolguyishere8851 wtf are you even talking about? You make it seem like he committed crimes against humanity 😂
@@WTFisthisshitWTF I think they meant sins 😂
I grew up around Bipolar people and it still breaks my heart to see those going through manic or depressive episodes all while being filmed during it. Hope he's doing well right now and wish him all the best.
Yes he’s actually sober and returned to his faith! He’s still proper active on instagram
@@monroe8143 it is quite sad, several people in my family have it, and it sucks that so many people say that it is just him being corrupted by fame or whatever, like get the camera out of his face you’re only feeding into the mania that has very little to do with his fame
@@evanator3521 if there’s one person who’s ever been bullied by the internet that I feel sorry for- it’s fousey. Poor guy has had some terrible influences and pressure on him. I hope he stays sober and continues on the path he’s on. But if I’m going to be honest it kinda seems like he’s traded one drug for another. Substance abuse for fitnesss abuse
I have bipolar 2 and I’m in a stable spot right now. When I see people with Bipolar disorder break down in front of world it just breaks my heart. People don’t understand what they are looking at and so people would start hounding you and criticizing you. It’s overall heartbreaking. I hope he’s doing well. Getting to a stable mood takes a lot of hardwork. It might seems simple for a lot people but it’s an uphill battle for people with mental health issues.

You kiddies have never played RuneScape at the time lmao
Bipolar is no joke. Maniac episodes can last anywhere from hours to months. During that time (if the episode is not that bad) you can be very productive. And after that, a depression episode happens and you can literally blow away everything that you've done. Because your mood is switching from and extreme to another, it can be near impossible to stay on track. I'm sorry that people are not more forgiving of him.
I was quite young when the fousey tube thing happened and I was a big fan of the CZcams prankers of the time like roman Atwood fousey etc, when the fousey stuff happened i remember thinking of fousey as a laughing stock of CZcams and Rembert finding the whole breakdown thing and failed concert thing hilarious, as I'm older and more mature now looking back this was a man going through some serious shit and the youtubers who documented it painted him in such a negative light to their 1000s of very young impressionable and quite frankly stupid viewers, I see him now as a guy who was trying his best to make something off himself, he wanted the life that hed been advertised since he was young and he had the drive to go get it and thats a lot more than i can say for most people.
@@gioootalks4850 medication and therapy works. It's chronic and you will have it for the rest of your life. However, go see a specialist maybe is not bipolar. Maybe is somehting else. Maybe you don't have anything and you just need some emotional help.

kinda makes me sad that he seems very genuine and up front, but he still had to suffer like this
he literally said EXACTLY what he felt and somehow NO ONE around him could get him any help???
The dude is crazy.
@@thewind6047 its easy to just off someone off as crazy rather than help and see what the real issue within is
ur standpoint does no good
This should be a lesson to youtubers though, don't mix your personal life on here with your channel, most people on here are braindead consumers that just want to constantly entertained, not exactly the best place to ask for help, I get someone as popular as him needing help would turn to the public but most people don't care or are living in their own world, only asking for people to tune out of what you are doing, he should have just found help privately (if that was possible with his popularity) and kept it that way.
As for his content all he had to do was find something everyone would like, like I said before people are real dumb nowadays so its not a shock that it doesn't take much effort to entertain such slow ass people, he would have to do less than half the work he had to in 2013-2014 to find a new niche.
But he comes across as a emotional guy and when someone like that losses control its hard to tell them anything rational, I am guessing people tried to tell him what I am saying (especially keeping a lid on everything) only to fall on deaf ears, guess this was always gonna happen, hopefully he has a good accountant/manager that would make sure he is still good financially
This guy is fake as hell and has lied multiple times. He may be genuine in telling how he felt, but he’s done some shady shit in the past. I don’t think calling him genuine is the right characterization.
Hes dhar mann
He's the perfect example of what would happen to someone who does something without a deeper goal/purpose. Yousef was chasing the numbers.. and when he got there, he didn't know what to do.
Anyone can get those numbers, what matters is the 'why'. A deeper value keeps people steady, sane, and resilient.
I fucking love this comment! I was thinking the same thing
I dont know if "anyone" can get those numbers. Look at all the youtubers that never hit his peak. But I do agree with the rest of your point.
It's the intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation thing.
In the long run intrinsic motivators is what's gonna keep you going. The numbers were extrinsic. And those don't last for long.
I hate people just deciding what the reason is. Like how do you fock ng now
@@rawalqayyum5128 I mean Fousey proves that anyone can get those numbers. His videos were frankly dogshit, his personality wasn't exactly the appealing, and he couldn't even fall back on his looks like tons of influencers can. But because he was so desperate, willing to do anything, and clickbait the ever loving shit out of his vids, he manages to gain that many subs.
I would wake up every morning and watch his vlogs as i ate breakfast. I loved how open and honest he was about everything

This hurt so much to watch, I remember being about 14 coming home to watch fouseytube every single day. I remember I missed a bunch of videos one day but one day I came back and saw the person he was, the person that had me feeling motivated to be the best version of myself, to keep going on the hard days, was lost, and wasn’t the person fousey had become. I remember when the concert incident happened I couldn’t believe it, I really hope this new start for him gets him back on track and to the person he said he wanted to be.

Sounds like he found himself in deep depression during that first 7 month break. Honestly I think it's incredible that he still had it in him to go workout and that it didn't become an impossible task, I'm glad he was still able to do something positive/constructive during that period. I'm not a fan nor have I ever watched any of his stuff, but I hope he's gotten the help he needs and is doing better.
Go Jim makes the voices go away
Lol yo bro idek how he got a picture of you in this czcams.com/video/j88vDrB2TmQ/video.html
I think his problem is a little more personal . Especially when you have a middle eastern family there's usually big stigma and negativity involved if you don't choose the traditional paths for success ie (doctor , engineer ..etc ) . I have a feeling that the family around him were not supportive of his decisions and always viewed his success as negative .
A lot of the deal surrounding being part of the middle eastern family is image . and sadly half the time it's competition and your parents / uncles and aunts are very critical of what you do and how you do things .
With that long preface , basically as a person it turns you into a workaholic and a machine , where you stop enjoying what you're doing but just focus on success . Even as a middle eastern guy who's been westernized and studied in the uk and works in the us i still suffer from the same thing where i want more success because i want the people who are close to me (parents/auunts/uncles ...etc) to acknowledge me .
His problem was , he never tried to enjoy his life and just abstract himself from his image from his close ones . As soon as there was a set back , i'm sure like every other middle eastern guy his thoughts were oh shit they're going to think i'm a loser now .
That’s extremely profound and really insightful. Thank you for being so vulnerable Abe! 💕Sending lots of your way, because living with that amount of pressure sounds so overwhelming and draining.
Yes! I’m glad you said this because it’s true and I don’t think it was addressed
Lol yes, he cares a lot about his family's image... He abandoned his faith and culture, moved to LA and completely adopted the douchebag luxury bragging lifestyle. Someone who cares about what their Arab Muslim family thinks wouldn't have done any of that. The man is bipolar and has some screws loose is all there is to it, and lacks willpower to handle the fame and money.
@@puddlespuddles5208 it’s really sad, if you’re doing *anything* that is outside of the plan they had for you it’s a problem, you could be successful in a different way but it doesn’t matter. That’s why I think kids in this situation need to validate themselves & unfortunately stop looking for validation from family members
Immigrant parents, but he was making 200k a month… using cultural dogmas for comedy, funny for the public, might have been cringe for the family maybe
7:40 I dont know why but the 'Zelda- Breath of the Wild' music is so calming

Money does not always bring happiness, it usually only ends up helping hide the problems...
I agree. Relationship are most important
Money brings happiness if you are able to sustain yourself on it. That is the only purpose for money. The other things like buying extra junk and going places are for leisure that you earned from working hard to get to your wealth. They wont bring long term happiness, only short term enjoyment. Long term happiness comes from the hard work you put in and the people around you.
If only people had seen it this way. Then you have these people who just go 'Duuuuh well it's better to cry in a Cadillac than to cry in a Corolla lololol"
Here after he lost to Deji
Sunnyv2 gonna make a part 2
When I was a freshman/sophomore in highschool ~2014-2015 I would watch his daily vlogs religiously. Looking back I think I did so because at the time I was struggling with social anxiety and those videos allowed me to live vicariously. I thought he was such a bright and wonderful person from his videos, so the spiral he has gone down has been a shame to witness...
Mental health is no joke. Having a loving family really does make a difference or just a loving support group of friends. Hope you smile a bunch today ✌🏼
Unfortunately he has an amazing family, it’s obvious in a lot of his old videos, his family is really tight packed and they would always go out to dinner together and one of the family members would pay each time. Society and who you hang around causes these mental illnesses I believe. Changing the way you think into wanting to be something you’re not, wanting more and more but not being able to get it. Greed destroys people, having a vision in life for materialistic things also destroys people, some are tough enough to not care, others are too good deep down to be able to transition into that sort of living.
I think it’s time for part 2 !!! 😂

I never played that. However that exact music is in Age of Mythology.
I truly wish him all the best. Struggling with mental illness has to be one of the worst things a person can experience and I hope he's doing well. EDIT: Yousef, if you see this video and read these comments, I hope you know you have our full love and support. We all hope you get better and do what you love. You're a creative guy and i know you'll succeed. Loving yourself is not easy, but take it a little bit at a time.
Lol yo bro idek how he got a picture of you in this czcams.com/video/j88vDrB2TmQ/video.html
This one really hits home. I used to watch Yousef's videos religiously back in the day. Around 2014 was when I graduated HS and subsequently became very depressed. It was nice to have his content to rely on each day where he wasn't afraid of talking about his own struggles, mental health, etc. I actually enjoyed his vlog style videos more than the pranks. I was pretty bummed when he would take his multiple month long hiatuses. The whole "coachella" v2 event also didnt paint him in a very good picture and it was clear he was still dealing with some serious mental health issues. Overall, as someone who spent hours watching tons of his content years ago, I really do think he only ever meant to do good and was one of the few CZcamsrs who really cared about his fanbase and the quality of the content he uploaded. I wish him nothing but the best honestly.
Hope hes doing well, he genuinely seems like a good guy who went through a very rough patch that was unfortunately on display for everyone to poke fun at
hes not lol
he's lost the plot
@@303TAG303 fr
Heads gone
Wait what happened to him 😮
I think we need an update
Damn I never felt bad for him until this breakdown. Kid just wanted to make it. He didn't know what he was getting himself into. Very strong. I actually admire the tenacity
Remember when Leafyishere and Pyro made videos on people like this, man the days
Yep
Ah, the days before Pyro was exposed as a sick fuck. Those where the days...
@@Blindashitmetalasfuck If you mean the grooming, that was false. Unless you mean his inflation fetish.
@@onigames7309 They ain't false, pyro literally just said he didn't do it and thas that, goofy
@@geegee4389 I can tell you didn't watch his video response.
Gonna have to make another one of these videos lol
Any one watch this video after he did his 24/7 stream?
As someone with Bipolar I relate to his actions and I've gone into manic episodes that resemble Fousey's concert breakdown. He was a good guy and dont think he really deserved the tarnishing of his name he got from it at the time. He couldve avoided his fall if he got help and didnt get in his own way, continued making quality content.
I wish him the best man, I understand where he is at and where he is coming from. This life thing is not easy. I wish him all the best ❤
Lol yo bro idek how he got a picture of you in this czcams.com/video/j88vDrB2TmQ/video.html
This guy has incredible talent hands down. Looking at his later videos, they're just very high quality and look like he takes so much time to research his topic, record, and edit each video. I want to see this guy make longer, documentary style videos into topics like these
lol no
seeing fousey go litelrally crazy now in 2023
I cant feel sorry for him because he knows that when he is in the media he has mental breakdowns but he still comes back to it
Poor guy was obviously going through stuff. Diddnt deserve to get dropped this hard get him some help
It's like sky but caused by keemstar
He is a closet homosexual in an Islamic enviroment. His Life is sad
Didn’t he return to his faith
@@bgf123 he’s been out of an Islamic environment for a while
You can have 200k a month and not be happy but you can get $100 a month and be happy.. Its all about the contentment of the heart and mind, they all feed on with what you tell them.
Without a doubt. This man had the world in his hands... He was my motivation like in 2013 and before I can't even remember
Pewdiepie earns damn near a million a month and he's happy
Some people are self destructive by nature. The world giving them everything the other 99% desire and crave for isn't going to fix their lives. It will magnify those flaws.
I disagree. IN america, 100 a month WILL depress you, no matter how positive you are. You can remain grateful, and hopeful, but it will affect you.
Excuse me, who in the hell is happy with just 100$ a month? U do realize we have BILLS to pay, right? How will I have access to a decent living standard with just 100$ a month? Money DOES help make it easier to be happy, but it doesn't always guarantee it. That is far more accurate assessment of the impact of money than ur 100$ a month hypothetical situation.
The rise, and fall, and rise again, and fall again of fousey***
next video, the rise and fall and the rise and fall of fouseytube
Tbh I feel horrible for him. I have bipolar as well and it's no joke. I genuinely think he wasnt getting any support outside the internet and he probably felt so alone. :/ poor guy.
isn't he manic depressive?
@@mrfreeman2911 that’s Can be a symptom of bi-polar disorder
He could've walked into a doctor's office at any time and gotten help, he chose not to.
There are thousands of people who wished they had the same money & access.

I really liked fousey's channel back in the day, always watched his blogs when I was trying to lose weight And it was a huge help and motivated me a lot. I honestly wish him the best, It makes me so sad to watch a person get dragged down by their own mental health, especially when you know exactly how hard it is for even a regular person to pick themselves back up
I work in finance and have a packed day. Your videos make me forget about this life of mine for a few minutes. Love the thumbnails and content. Keep it up. Greetings from Mauritius Island.
I’ve been a fan of his since 2014. He was being real about his struggles, and I can related. The video of his weight loss journey inspired me to lose 40 pounds. So, it’s more than just pranks. He’s a kind genuine soul
The old school runescape gives me vibes from 10 years ago grinding woodcutting..
Age Of Mythology *
One of the only reasons I watch 🥺
You should get it on mobile!
@@bulldoze it’s RuneScape sound track..
Runescape is Ice Poseidon in the dictionary
I never knew this guy was the person that did the mortal kombat in elevator pranks
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Did you just spell Kombat with a C?
Get over here!
@@CertifiedMVP Yes i did because i forgot that Mortal kombat is spelled that way
@@CertifiedMVP that’s a krime!
Really?
Them he got beat by deji
We need an update
ive always felt so bad for him, manic episodes are no joke and it must've been really scary.
I just feel sad for him. This just shows the mental health struggles people go through
i've been watching your videos since yesterday, and i love how unbiased and organized they are. you didn't set him up to look like a crazy guy, you very much included why he acts like this "crazy" guy.
i seriously hope he gets better, he isn't at all, mentally okay.
Looking forward to the updated video
Good video. I remember seeing the whole FouseyTube thing go down and it was hard for me to watch. I recognized how manic he was right away and him making all the connections that weren't there.
I think he's vain and insecure and materialistic. BUT I think he's probably a good person underneath it all. He just caught up in that LA influencer life.
Great points. Poor man became a victim of the cycle of LA shallow/materialistic living: An obsession with his looks (carried to the point he tattoed his hairline). Living in an apt with $13k/mth rent (seriously, wtf!). Depression run amok after reaching 10m subs. He simply couldnt let go of all that shit and see how he could have continued by just shifting the genre of his videos again.
Thank you for making this I never really watched him but I must say Ii was impressed by his hard work that led to his success for some time and I wish him well.
Gonna need to revisit
I always love hearing the OSRS songs in your videos. 👌🏻👌🏻
