It's All FAKE | The Dead Internet Theory

What if all of our online existence is fake?

You, me, everyone; we're living in a real-life Matrix. Designed to distract us from the truth: that we're just drones in a digital ant-hill. We live, work and die so that the wealthy and powerful can grow more wealthy and powerful.

This is called the Dead Internet Theory. And there's compelling evidence that it's real.

Let's find out why.

Please don't give up on this channel, I am surprised how few subs you have given the absolute fantastic quality of your content and I will continue to share your channel all over. I'm not even saying this to be nice, you're one of the few YouTubers that actually holds my attention and picks interesting topics.
-Edit
*If people are confused, I wrote this comment when this channel only had around 15k subs. It's wholesome to see this channel blow up, and it's very well deserved. Congratulations!

[michelebrown]

I love seeing that a year or so ago there were only 15K subs and now there are 3.15M. Congratulations to you and all the people who found you.

Ah man this channel is a gem. You put things forth like an old skool TV show from before the internet, and you don't seem like you completely believe everything you are talking about, yet you speak about it with respect and seriousness so it's immersive to listen to.

I've never bought a product or service that I saw advertised on any kind of social media. Doesn't mean the things I buy don't advertise there, but seeing an ad or a sponsor on youtube (for example) makes me less likely to search out the product.

[HugoJL]

Please, don't ever lose that capacity to dwell into a subject without being condescending or patronizing. It's such an unbelievably rare quality on content creators.

[ryanrester]

Thank you Hecklefish! I’m doing my part and watching it all! 😁👍

AJ… you’re one of the few entertaining creators I still get a feed from. Wish there were more like you!

[shamanicvisions]

I don’t use Facebook or any other social media except YouTube. I work from home and one day found myself scrolling for hours on Facebook, and realised how much time I was wasting. I don’t actually miss it and I thought I would. I can’t give up YouTube though - and miss out on channels like this? No way.😀

Best decision I ever made was deleting my Facebook. I didn't realize how toxic it was until I stopped using it.

[leebenefiel]

I hate Facebook. When i talk about something with my wife when she's on her phone, all of a sudden, there's an ad for whatever we are talking about. Love the show. Keep up the good work.

[OMFGITSVIKKI]

I’ve thought about how the internet was so much more interesting and expansive when I was younger. It feels like I teeter between the same 5 websites now and search results are so limited. Very spooky theory, I’m not ready for this AI dystopia we’re heading towards.

Internet was such a powerful tool, the web turned it into a billboard.

[kauairix]

You tube only put your channel before me about 2 weeks ago. I immediately subscribed and glad all your old videos appear now. My favorite channel! Keep up the good work.

[BxRaDxGeZee]

Even more frightening is why the AI had not shown me this channel until now. Quality content, brother! Happy holidays and new year everybody 🎉

[darkbee]

This is probably the scariest video you've done... and you've done some pretty spooky content. Makes me fear for humanity but at least I'll go out entertained. Keep up the good work!

[williammain]

Knowing this is depressing. Like the traitor in the Matrix said, "ignorance is bliss".

[kennethdickinson]

Great show once again AJ and crew! Hard to know what you can trust anymore. That's one reason why I love your show. You tell us at the end of the show what is true and what isn't. I don't expect that from any other show. Great job keeping it real.

[CotswoldEducation]

Finally an entertaining channel which is both funny and informative. Hecklefish is pure genius.

[gustophercokchammer]

I can't get over how great your videos are. It's criminal how under-appreciated this channel is.

[thomasgirty]

these video's are so well put together your compelled to watch till the end. the story, then the de bunk, then the close. EXCELLENT !!!!

[CampingWithCats]

Man, some of the these shows are very good. This is above standard YouTube and even network quality often.
Thank you for putting so much effort and honesty into so many of your videos.
✌️❤️🖖
