  Yes, OP doesn't know about the original concept and it's a shame what's happened to it but if I do a search for mukbang, of the first 6 videos, 4 are simple overeating huge amounts of food, one is listen to a tiny, pretty asian girl make eating noises, like the other redditor mentioned, (while still eating too much food) and the other is compilation of people eating (or pretending to eat) enough food for a whole family.  Half of those are Korean.
  I could write more about the results, the next 20, but it's just going to be more of that.  It's clear that people are not pretending it's all just Nikocado for no reason.
context: I've never heard of this before. From the brief description given in your write-up here, I never want to hear of it again. >
  
  I wish I could go back 5 minutes to where I didn’t know about it. >
  
  Eh, you didn't know about mukbang? It's like this culture where people eat food ... Lots and lots and lots of food. >
  
  Yep. I know that now. 
  I miss my old self. >

  The original concept was fine, then it became those weird gorging shows. >
  
  The original concept still exists though, which is my only issue with OPs post. People acting like Nikocado Avacado is the only sort of person doing mukbang now… maybe it’s the case in the US.
