People were attracted to his positive and friendly attitude and relatable character. He was gaining thousands of subscribers per day and hundreds of thousands of views per month, and it seemed all was going well for him. However, in eary 2019 and into 2020, things have been on the downward trend for him for many reasons.
Controversy, Subscriber Loss and Channel Status Decline (2019 -)
In late 2019, Nikocado faced controversy with a number of YouTubers, primarily Stephanie Soo and Zach Choi for abusive behavior during several collaboration videos. Four days after the filming of the video, Stephanie Soo posted a video on her channel titled "Why I'm Scared of Nikocado Avocado", in which she described feeling unsafe before the video and during the filming of it. She claimed that Nikocado sent harassed her with text messages and inappropriate pictures of her house when she briefly left the room. Within hours, the video blew up with hundreds of thousands of views (over 10 million today). Her response prompted a backlash from Nikocado, causing a fight between the two with their channels and the videos they uploaded. These videos have gained millions of views, with support for Stephanie and significant backlash for Nikocado. Nikocado received the most hate during this time period, losing 10,000 subscribers in one day, and with most of his videos having a higher dislike to like ratio, with the comment section being filled with hateful and derogatory comments. His husband, Orlin, spoke about the controversy, prompting Youtube and the comment section a cause for the decline of his mental health, and the questioning of their relationship. This also prompted mainy confusing videos from Nikocado where he would tell his fanbase that he and Orlin were down, and that he would be leaving Youtube. This has not been the case, and many people believe that this, combined with the exaggerated thumbnails, is clickbait from Nikocado to boost viewership and restore his channel, which has not been working favorably for him. Perry was interviewed by Keemstar on September 22, 2020 along with LeafyIsHere mainly discussing about his future of his personal health. He kept on insisting Keemstar that he is smart enough to overcome his obesity problem, and saying that he has a treadmill and is doing light exercise, claiming it to be the fastest way to burn fat.
