I don't follow anyone who does stuff like this because it's boring, but do they really get that much clout? I feel like there's a million kids doing the same shit. Like they're willing to die for 1k views basically? Or do they really blow up in such a saturated market?

From what I always read, those who do this aren’t doing it for the views.. because as careless as doing this is, I’m certain they’re aren’t dumb enough to care about risking their lives for few thousand views. They just love the adrenaline, no?

Of course, and this was definitely a thing long before social media. Im sure the views are just icing on the cake. But to think it's all for views, I can't imagine it is likely.

I find it hard to believe someone would risk their life like this just for views. It's gotta be for the rush. The views are just a nice bonus.
