0:03 Blasphemous HD Illuminati or Master ugu
0:05 these are just a few of the many
0:07 examples of YouTubers who were once at
0:09 the top of the world but who lost their
0:11 audience and came crashing back down to
0:14 earth however fewer faced a more drastic
0:16 downfall than NZ daily he went from
0:18 racking up millions of views per video
0:21 at his Peak to struggling to hit 100,000
0:23 despite having 13 million
0:25 subscribers hi I'm the internet
0:27 Anarchist I create weekly YouTube
0:29 documentaries and today we'll be
0:32 examining the deserved downfall of Nas
0:34 daily believe it or not but Nas was a
0:37 big deal at one point he was inescapable
0:39 on YouTube no matter where you looked
0:41 you'd eventually come across NZ with his
0:43 massive grin and black T-shirt covering
0:46 an obscure yet interesting topic I found
0:50 a man who is a human calculator hi I'm
0:52 Scott flansburg and I'm faster than any
0:54 calculator on the planet Earth he can
0:57 add numbers faster than he can talk and
1:00 he never graduated from high school how
1:03 did he learn most importantly NZ and his
1:05 content was actually loved by the
1:07 audience with a comment on one of his
1:09 older videos reading I'm much obliged to
1:11 NAS for such inspiring videos giving a
1:13 light of goodness in everyone's heart
1:15 watching him I wish that this channel
1:17 reach to every individual sharing this
1:19 land fast forward to today and almost
1:21 all of his videos have a horrible like
1:23 to dislike ratio regardless of their
1:25 topic the love and respect people once
1:27 had for him and his content has now
1:29 turned into widespread seething hatred
1:31 one person on Twitter wrote is it weird
1:33 that I hate NZ daily more than anyone
1:36 else on Earth I mean he makes videos
1:38 which is ultimately not that big a deal
1:40 but when I see his face I feel like I'm
1:42 going to have a stroke and
1:43 unsurprisingly almost everyone in the
1:46 replies agreed with the op sentiment so
1:48 what happened how did Nas manage to turn
1:51 such a massive audience against himself
1:53 effectively ending his career well it
1:55 might have something to do with his
1:57 unchecked ego narcissism and a tendency
1:59 to exploit others culture and religion
2:02 for Content but to get the full picture
2:04 of how he reached this point we first
2:05 have to step back and start from the very
2:07 very
2:10 beginning nus Yen AKA NZ was born to an
2:12 Arab Muslim family of Palestinian
2:14 descent that was living in the small
2:16 city of araba Israel and while this
2:19 detail might seem insignificant at first
2:21 it would later play a pivotal role in
2:23 his ultimate downfall at the age of 19
2:25 he successfully got into Harvard for
2:27 aerospace engineering his degree of
2:29 choice also inspired him to upload his
2:32 first YouTube video in November of 2012
2:35 titled operation Skyfall first hamburger
2:38 in space as the name suggests this was a
2:40 video of NZ and friends from Harvard
2:41 attaching a hamburger to a weather
2:45 balloon and sending it 30,000 M into space
2:48 space [Music]
2:52 [Music]
2:55 1 this became a bigger success than NZ
2:57 could have ever imagined earning over
2:59 half a million views in less than 20
3:01 days although this didn't motivate NZ to
3:03 start uploading regularly it did reveal
3:05 the massive potential audience that was
3:08 waiting on YouTube so 4 years after his
3:10 first upload NZ returned to the internet
3:12 this time with the explicit goal of
3:14 becoming a content creator he started a
3:17 fairly unique Vlog series on Facebook in
3:19 which he uploaded a minute long video
3:20 every single day while showcasing
3:37 the series lasted for a thousand daily
3:41 videos until January of 2019 with his
3:43 Facebook page gaining over 12 million
3:45 followers a month later he started a new
3:48 series of weekly videos on YouTube these
3:50 new videos were longer and had much
3:54 better production quality 20 million
3:58 people 20 million people visit one city
4:02 every year and that city is not London
4:05 New York or
4:09 Mumbai that city is a small dot on the map
4:15 called and that's when he started seeing
4:17 mainstream levels of success many of
4:19 these longer videos went super viral
4:21 gaining millions of views and propelling
4:24 Ms onto the Forefront of YouTube but it
4:25 didn't take long for this Empire to
4:28 begin unraveling ultimately resulting in
4:30 the pitiful state it is today however
4:32 unlike many other YouTubers who
4:34 immediately fell off after a single big
4:36 controversy naz's decline is due to a
4:38 series of massive blunders over the
4:40 years like when he got caught trying to
4:42 exploit an elderly tattoo artist to make
4:47 a quick bug in July of 20121 nuz
4:49 uploaded a video titled world's oldest
4:51 tattoo artist the video featured a
4:53 103-year-old tattoo artist from the
4:55 Philippines named AO Wang odd who relied
4:57 on traditional methods like using Thorns
5:00 instead of modern machinery for her art
5:03 in the jungles of the Philippines there
5:07 is a woman who is 103 years old she is
5:11 the oldest tattoo artist in the world
5:15 and she doesn't use a tattoo machine and
5:18 she doesn't let you choose your own
5:21 tattoo this was a classic nuz Daily
5:22 Style video with nothing out of the
5:24 ordinary that is until you peaked into
5:27 the video's description and found this
5:29 for today's video we flew all the way to
5:31 the islands of the Philippines to bring
5:33 you this story and what's even better is
5:35 that we convinced Wang odd to become a
5:36 teacher so she is now officially
5:39 teaching on NZ Academy but simply NZ was
5:41 offering a tattoo course from Wang odd
5:43 on his own education platform called NZ
5:46 Academy and this was great NZ got more
5:48 people to visit his site Wang odd got
5:50 the opportunity to share her art with
5:51 the world and the people who were
5:53 interested in traditional tattooing got
5:55 to learn it directly from the master it
5:58 was a win-win situation for everyone
5:59 however it wasn't long before before
6:02 things took an unexpected turn on August
6:05 4th 2021 someone claiming to be Wang
6:07 odd's relative made a revelation about
6:10 his tattooing course on Facebook stating
6:13 warning Wang odd Academy is a scam my
6:14 grandmother did not sign any contract
6:16 with Naz daily to do any Academy some
6:18 people are taking advantage of our
6:20 culture please help us stop this
6:22 disrespect to the legacy of APO Wang odd
6:25 and to the butt bot tribe in response NZ
6:27 uploaded a video showing Wang odd
6:44 this was also accompanied by a n lated
6:46 statement from nas reading we approached
6:48 Wang OD because just like you we love
6:50 her we love her traditions and are
6:52 inspired by her we wanted to share her
6:54 culture for future generations to
6:56 appreciate and respect the ancient Kinga
6:59 tradition of Mamba B so we pitched our
7:00 family with the idea of creating Wang OD
7:03 Academy her and her family both loved
7:05 this idea and have worked with us to
7:07 build it with Wang odd teaching herself
7:09 as a matter of fact Wang od's trusted
7:12 niece Estella palangal was present and
7:14 translated the contents of the contract
7:16 prior to Wang OD affixing her Thum print
7:18 signifying her full consent to the
7:20 project this is the clearest evidence
7:22 that it is not a scam and achieve the
7:24 consent of her and her immediate family
7:26 now this could have been a fairly decent
7:28 response to the allegations however the
7:31 waya end this statement only caused more
7:34 anger it read 40% of Naz Academy is made
7:36 up of Filipinos so for us this is
7:38 personal we deeply care about the
7:40 Philippines and respect the many
7:41 cultures and traditions that exist
7:43 across the country maybe this was his
7:45 effort to seem more credible to the
7:47 outraged Filipino viewers most people
7:49 compared his reasoning to the kind
7:51 racists use like saying I'm not
7:53 Prejudice I have friends from that group
7:55 which only fueled more outrage things
7:58 got even worse when Gracia the person
7:59 who originally called out another
8:02 Academy made another post on Facebook
8:04 stating hello everyone Wang OD Academy
8:06 is not real I spoke to her and she said
8:07 she did not understand what the
8:09 translators were saying I'm sorry to
8:10 tell you she will not be joining the
8:12 atas daily I know you have some good
8:14 intentions of sharing our culture to the
8:16 Next Generation however our village
8:18 concern is that some people are
8:20 profiting and exploiting our art and
8:22 culture I know you spoke to someone and
8:25 gave some money and will share profits
8:27 but APO Wang OD is not aware of your
8:29 contract hope you sort this out thank
8:31 you have a nice day this went against
8:33 everything nuz was saying and after
8:35 getting even more backlash he
8:36 immediately sent a team to the
8:38 Philippines to reach a mutual
8:40 understanding with Wang odd and her
8:42 family credit where credits due he did
8:44 take action to fix the issue but that
8:45 still doesn't answer why all this
8:48 happened in the first place if Gracia
8:50 hadn't spoken out against the Injustice
8:51 Nas would have likely continued selling
8:53 the Wang odd course on his website
8:56 without fairly compensating her however
8:58 this wasn't the only time HD incur wrath
9:00 on his Filipino audience
9:02 a day after Gracia made her original
9:04 post a Filipino farmer named Louise
9:06 maalo also came forward with the story
9:08 of her encounter with nas daily Louise
9:10 was the creator of the cacao project a
9:12 nonprofit aimed at fighting
9:13 deforestation by providing better
9:16 support and education to the farmers and
9:18 according to Louise Nas wanted to make a
9:20 video on her project but when he reached
9:22 the site he had some nasty things to say
9:25 about the Filipinos like farmers are so
9:28 poor and why are Filipino so poor she
9:29 also accused him of not releasing ing
9:31 the video on the project because in his
9:33 eyes it wasn't entertaining enough he
9:35 didn't care about raising awareness
9:37 towards real issues and was only
9:38 concerned about the number of views his
9:41 videos would get Louise's post went
9:43 viral feeling even more backlash from
9:44 around the world for his downright
9:47 racist remarks with comments reading nuz
9:49 daily is a liar as well as nuz daily
9:52 hates the Philippines in response nuz
9:54 uploaded a video denying the allegations
9:56 while also claiming that the entire
10:00 cacao project is nothing but a facade on
10:03 paper it was supposed to be a nonprofit
10:05 that helps farmers in reality it's a
10:08 for-profit that exploits Farmers from
10:10 there this whole controversy slowly
10:12 faded into internet obscurity but the
10:15 damage was already done regardless of
10:17 how true Louise's allegations were a big
10:19 chunk of the internet now saw nuz as
10:21 nothing more than a privileged racist
10:23 and while all that was going on NZ
10:25 managed to get himself into yet another
10:27 controversy this time for shamelessly
10:29 presenting crypto scammers as the most
10:31 kind-hearted people in the world on
10:35 November 12th 2021 NZ uploaded a now
10:37 deleted YouTube video titled the most
10:39 generous Bitcoin billionaire the video
10:41 painted the founder of the FDX crypto
10:43 exchange Sam bankman freed in an
10:46 extremely positive light almost short of
10:48 calling him the best person ever to live
10:50 guy you see next to me is the most
10:53 generous billionaire in the world and I
10:56 found him hi my name is Sam and this is
11:01 my story Sam has crazy hair Sam is vegan
11:05 Sam sleeps 5 hours a night Sam lives in
11:09 the Bahamas with 10 roommates Sam is 29
11:14 years old only but Sam has $22
11:17 billion and he wants to donate all of it
11:21 to charity later in May of 2022 NZ
11:24 posted a similar video titled most
11:26 humble crypto billionaire this time with
11:29 Chang Pang Dao the founder of binance
11:30 which which was the most popular crypto
11:32 exchange at the time and just like with
11:34 Sam bankman freed the video was filled
11:36 to the brim with NZ sharing endless
11:39 amounts of Praise on ziao this is the
11:43 richest guy in the world from crypto and
11:46 you don't even know him hi my name is CZ
11:51 he made over $60 billion but his mom
11:54 still called him stupid let me tell you
11:56 his incredible story both of these
11:58 videos looked like ads focused on
12:00 improving the image image of the two
12:02 crypto billionaires however there was no
12:04 mention of these being paid promotions
12:06 anywhere in the videos or in their
12:08 descriptions but as fans would later
12:10 find out there's a high likelihood that
12:12 these were ads and NZ simply didn't
12:16 disclose the truth in April of 20122 Nas
12:18 went on a podcast hosted by a YouTuber
12:20 named Silicon Valley Girl and
12:22 accidentally spilled the beans sometimes
12:24 we get a brand deal in which I have to
12:26 go on the spots for one full day and
12:28 make a video about a person so sometimes
12:30 the character are in your video actually paid
12:31 paid
12:34 sponsorships sometime sometimes yes do
12:36 you say that in the we do not say that
12:39 because uh well one in the post it's
12:41 when we say thank you to XYZ blah blah
12:43 for making this possible uh two it's
12:45 like we don't live in America he clearly
12:47 admitted to hiding the sponsorships from
12:49 his audience and tried to backpedal on
12:51 it after realizing his blunder not to
12:53 mention his entire logic of quote we
12:55 don't live in America is extremely
12:57 flawed this is because YouTube the
12:59 platform that he uploads his videos on
13:01 is based in America and therefore has to
13:03 adhere to the American law including
13:06 clear disclosure of paid promotions this
13:08 also called all of his other videos into
13:10 question leaving viewers wondering if he
13:12 was genuinely interested in something or
13:13 was just praising it because he was paid
13:15 to do so this of course opened up a
13:18 whole new can of worms suddenly viewers
13:20 couldn't help but Wonder were any of his
13:22 videos ever genuine or was he just
13:24 hyping things up because he was paid to
13:26 to make matters worse both the good guy
13:28 crypto billionaires he promoted in his
13:30 videos turned out out to be scammers
13:32 with massive charges of money laundering
13:34 and customer fraud Sam bankman freed in
13:36 particular got charged with a fine worth
13:39 over 11 billion and is also serving 25
13:42 years in prison in other words NZ likely
13:44 took the money from two of the biggest
13:45 scammers to make promotional videos
13:48 about how humble and charitable they are
13:50 this on its own would be enough to end
13:52 the career of most YouTubers but Nas
13:54 wasn't done digging his own grave yet as
13:56 he was about to pick a fight with over 2
13:59 billion Muslims for his mockery of Islam
14:01 and by extension his hypocritical views
14:03 on the Palestine Israel conflict in July
14:07 of 2024 nuz uploaded a video titled I
14:09 studied Islam for 1 month and I lost all
14:12 my hair and this title alone was plenty
14:14 disrespectful you see the second half of
14:15 the video was referring to the tradition
14:17 of men willingly shaving their heads
14:19 after a pilgrimage in the holiest city
14:21 of mcah so for Nas to refer to it as
14:23 losing his hair raised some Stone
14:25 eyebrows from the Muslim Community and
14:27 judging by the like to dislike ratio the
14:29 video wasn't any better the whole thing
14:30 was filled to the brim with
14:32 misinformation and straight up lies
14:34 about the religion of over 2 billion
14:36 people this led to the comment section
14:38 becoming a mindfield of almost every
14:41 person pointing out and correcting one
14:43 of naz's many inaccuracies many were
14:45 also simply outraged at the video and
14:47 naz's attitude towards covering such
14:49 sensitive topics with one comment
14:51 Reading Please study Islam properly from
14:54 the scriptures then make a video one
14:56 month can't be enough to study a single
14:58 religion you were just making fun of a
15:00 very sensitive topic IC you did umra to
15:02 make a point please get yourself checked
15:04 and you should delete this video at NZ
15:07 daily an Islamic Video Creator named
15:09 smile to Jenna even made an entire video
15:11 directly responding to NZ and to skewed
15:14 view of Islam for the first time in my
15:19 life I shaved my head completely just to
15:23 make a point okay this was a bit random
15:25 but why would you shave your head to
15:27 make a point and especially if you say
15:29 this to a Muslim a Muslim thinking huh
15:33 we shave our heads after pilgrimage
15:35 because this was an act of the Prophet
15:37 Muhammad peace be upon him and this is
15:39 something that we replicate and you
15:41 should also know the importance of
15:43 intention that the intention has to be
15:46 correct for it to be accepted by God not
15:49 doing it to make a point but all of this
15:50 would pale in comparison to the
15:52 hypocrisy he showed when sharing his
15:54 views on the Palestine Israel conflict
15:56 as we mentioned earlier while he was
15:58 born in Israel his family was of
16:00 Palestinian descent so people were
16:02 naturally curious about his stance on
16:04 the Palestine Israel conflict NZ also
16:06 saw the number of people who wanted his
16:08 opinion on the matter and decided to
16:11 cash in with a video titled my Israel
16:13 and Palestine explained in this video NZ
16:15 tried to betray himself as a true
16:18 neutralist someone who just wants peace
16:21 my solution is simple bring people
16:25 together not apart this is why we make
16:29 these videos this is why we support the
16:32 many Israelis who want peace and the
16:35 Palestinians who need peace however this
16:37 completely backfired with most people
16:39 seeing the video as self-serving and an
16:41 attempt to trivialize such a complex
16:43 matter his attempts to appear neutral
16:45 also got criticized by almost every
16:47 viewer with a comment from a Vietnamese
16:49 person explaining the major Flor in his
16:51 argument stating I know your point is
16:53 kind but I disagree with you as a
16:55 Vietnamese I've been taught how my
16:57 ancestors fought to protect the country
16:59 my country was invaded and colonized by
17:02 China France Japan USA they never wanted
17:04 to free Vietnam Vietnamese people had
17:06 been slaves for hundreds of years until
17:08 they fought and gained Victory if they
17:09 just prayed for peace if they wanted to
17:11 be friends with the Invaders the country
17:13 people would have been slaves for
17:15 thousands of years later and nz's
17:17 actions outside of this video only made
17:19 things worse in a tweet he made in
17:22 October of 2023 he claimed to be an
17:24 Israeli First Palestinian second which
17:26 people interpreted as him taking
17:28 Israel's side in the conflict but
17:30 viewers also uncovered a video of him
17:32 openly cursing at Israel with his
17:35 friends when he thought he was off camera
17:42 is [ __ ] and here lies the biggest issue
17:43 with nazza stance on the Palestine
17:45 Israel issue He's a hypocrite who is
17:47 completely dishonest with his audience
17:49 he tried to present himself as a neutral
17:51 party vouching for peace but in reality
17:53 he doesn't care what happens to either
17:55 side he's only interested in making
17:57 videos on the conflict and saying
17:59 whatever would get him the most views
18:01 which as you might imagine pissed off
18:03 both sides resulting in Nas losing his
18:06 entire audience now looking back at his
18:07 many controverses they may seem
18:10 completely unrelated at a first glance
18:12 however there is a single thread that
18:13 weaves them all together his
18:15 overinflated eego whether it's
18:17 exploiting an elderly tattoo artist or
18:19 claiming he has the solution to a
18:21 complicated conflict it all starts to
18:23 make sense when you realize he genuinely
18:25 believes he always right this would also
18:27 explain his complete inability to take
18:29 any criticism like when a YouTuber by
18:32 the name of AI yamini confronted him
18:34 about the mismatch between his words and
18:37 actions NZ how you doing mate how are
18:39 you how are you tell us nice to meet you
18:40 everybody do you think do you think it's
18:42 cool that you're standing here and
18:43 you're being employed like you're
18:45 getting paid by the world economic Forum
18:47 to Pro to promote their product I'll
18:48 tell you what's cool this is the video
18:50 how are you guys give me give me you
18:52 know what's really cool is that all this
18:54 was done for no money you did it for
18:55 free for free my friend you're willing
18:57 to sell yourself for free I'm selling
18:59 myself for free because they have
19:01 opinions and they agree with those
19:02 opinions you push the climate change
19:05 agenda you P push a lot of these agendas
19:06 these work agendas but here what's a
19:08 couple we've done more for climbing
19:09 machines than you have yeah what have
19:11 you done we've done how did you get here
19:13 we've done more for climbing Mach how
19:15 you get Nas retaliated by acting like a
19:17 child and rudely interrupting Ary when
19:19 he was interviewing the prime minister
19:21 of Luxembourg and running away I'll be
19:22 honest when I first got to daras he
19:25 confused me by interrupting my interview
19:27 with the Luxembourg prime minister and
19:30 then running why is he annoying is he
19:32 annoying you no it's still okay this is
19:36 Nas he NZ this guy's annoying be careful
19:38 of this guy he's annoying I was a lawyer
19:40 before if you need some
19:43 help what what what what law what law NZ
19:46 might need criminal help n n n come here
19:50 two questions I'm good bro I know hold
19:51 on hold on all of these controversies
19:54 and weird Behavior have caused the 99%
19:56 of his audience to abandon him
19:58 completely his videos now struggle to
20:00 hit 100,000 views while his tweets
20:03 barely scrape together 100 likes despite
20:04 him having over
20:07 137,000 followers on that platform a
20:09 comeback is still possible but it would
20:11 demand NZ to completely Rebrand himself
20:13 and start over from scratch something I
20:15 can't picture him doing anytime soon
20:17 who'll likely keep producing the same
20:19 type of content gradually Fading Into
20:21 complete irrelevance in the coming
20:23 months with no hopes of ever regaining
20:26 the massive audience he once had another
20:28 YouTuber who faced a massive downfall
20:30 was bous HD who has millions of
20:32 subscribers but can barely scrape
20:34 together 10,000 views click the video on
