Yeah, they've pretended to breakup many times previously and I said in a previous post that nearly everything Nick does or says these days is a performance , so it would make sense to dismiss these latest statements from Orlin as more bullshit. Except that in the past, whenever they've faked a break up, it's usually come from the both of them or just Nick, with a hysterical video containing lot's of screaming crying and gnashing of teeth. This time it was just a terse announcement from Orlin with no reply from Nick at all, and silence is the one response from him that is actually believable. I think if the breakup was fake, Nick would have already done several dramatic videos about it.
A breakup wouldn't really be all that surprising. They met when they were young, thin vegans, and while they both gained a lot of weight over the years, Orlin has apparently returned to veganism or at least appears to be trying to eat healthier and seems to slowly be getting back in shape, while Nick continues to spiral out of control, getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight. Orlin probably realized that the things they once had common , which drew them together, are gone, and so is the Nick he was once attracted to, so he decided that there was no point to the relationship anymore.
Of course maybe it really is all bullshit again and just a plan to try and generate renewed interest in Nick's channels, which haven't been getting the views that they used to, and maybe they'll both return in a couple of weeks with some big announcement about how they went to counseling and are more in love than ever...but seriously though, I think Orlin really has left Nick and Nick is off someplace crying and licking his wounds.
