Over the past year, YouTube has seen a rise in creators who hide their faces and focus on showing off their sensual side to grab viewers’ attention. The most common style involves covering their face, flaunting their chest, and making videos about cooking, chatting, or storytelling. This simple formula has proven to attract a lot of viewers, but sometimes it backfires in unexpected ways. A perfect example is the “female YouTuber” featured below.
Starting with her first video in December last year, YouTuber A rarely showed her face, and if she did, it was always with a mask. She barely interacted with viewers. Instead, she posted videos of herself exercising and shaking her chest at night. That alone earned her nearly 100,000 followers, a milestone many YouTubers struggle to reach. Occasionally, she also shared sexy moments on her personal Instagram.
However, recently this “female” YouTuber dropped a bombshell by revealing her real identity. In a vlog posted on March 25, A admitted that she is actually a man and shared how he deceived his audience. He explained that due to the pandemic, his salary was cut drastically, so he quit his job. On top of that, his beloved dog was seriously ill and needed expensive treatment. At 37 years old and married, he decided to hide his identity from his wife and secretly make YouTube videos. He never expected to become popular, but success came in a way no one saw coming.
He also shared that if he hadn’t revealed his true identity, he would have gained about 100 new subscribers every day. But after starting to earn money from YouTube, he felt guilty and decided he couldn’t keep the secret any longer. The outcome was predictable: right after going public, his subscriber count dropped to under 20,000. Along with that came a flood of angry comments calling for a boycott, with harsh messages like “What the heck did I just watch?” and “Who am I thinking about lying awake for at night?”…
