What Are These "Mukbang" Eating Videos Popping Up?

I follow a lot of restaurants and cooking pages on Facebook. Suddenly, pages I don't follow are popping up with videos of people eating mostly what they call "seafood boils" drenched in some sort of sauce with the same sauce on the side for dipping. They aren't reviewing a restaurant.
I had to look up Mukbang because I saw that word on some of the videos and I'd never heard of it. It's some sort of eating show apparently originating from South Korea.
In the videos that have popped up, these people are smacking in addition to making other noises like moaning, talking with their mouths full, have sauce dripping down their chins and dripping the sauce all over the place, taking huge bites of food and just generally pretty disgusting.
Are these people really making money doing this? It's gross.

been around for awhile now. its fricking gross.
people stuffing themselves with garbage and acting disgusting. and yes there is almost certainly a percentage of viewership that gets off on it.
Nikado Avocado is probably one of the most famous examples, and kind of a fascinating story of relatively normal person turning into a monster.

I can't understand the attraction. Watching just a little is good for my diet since I lose my appetite swiftly.
In some of them when the video pops up, the women have those horribly long fingernails that are dripping with sauce. I can only imagine how dirty they are.

The world is full of weird people with weird fetishes. All we can do is shrug

It's disgusting.
I get grossed out when parents post pictures of their toddlers with food all over the face. It's not cute, it's nasty. If a kid can't be cute with a filthy face, why on earth would I want to see a full-grown adult with a functional frontal lobe covered in grease and crumbs?
Just awful.

So it's the Juicy Seafood crowd?

Fiery Crab crowd as well

I've never been to either Fiery Crab or Juicy Seafood.
BBQ shrimp, crawfish, boiled crabs etc... can be messy to eat, but I can still do so with manners and not be disgusting.

It's nasty IMO. They throw everything in a plastic bag and shake.

That doesn't look appealing to me.

I took second place in the shrimp food challenge with a stuffed shrimp recipe I got from a mukbanger. 
Because she prepped annd fried the shrimp in the first half of the video, I didn’t realize it was a mukbang video at first. She didn’t actually get gross, or eat a mountain of food, but she put a dent in the dozen stuffed fried shrimp she made. She had a few good recipes so I watched her for awhile. Since she wasn’t gross, I watched one by someone else and it was gross. Maybe I watched a mukbanger-light.

The ones that popped up on my page didn't involve any recipes or show any prep. The people are just sitting in front of a mountain of food chowing down like someone is going to take it away or like they're in a contest to finish first.
Here's one for you with only one woman. I couldn't watch much of it.

It's terrible. They have been around for quite some time. As mentioned, Nikocado Avocado is the most famous of them all. Dude was a relatively lean guy until he started going all in on mukbang videos. He would consume thousands of Calories DAILY and just get bigger and bigger. SunnyV2 on Youtube has at least one video on him that will explain the entire timeline of his collapse. Overall, the guy made getting attention his lifestyle and income.
penguinz0 goes over mukbang in this video where one specific Youtuber went out of their way to tortures sea creatures. She is eating a living, breathing squid, pouring salt on it, cutting off the hood. Pure animal torture.
Mukbang is just trash in general. I enjoy ASMR things like power tools, cleaning/ car detailing, to name a few, but I do not even like hearing myself eat, so why would I want to listen to others eat? It's awful.
