In a 25-minute video titled “2 Steps Ahead,” Nicholas Perry, also known as Nikocado Avocado, attacked his critics, comparing them to “ants” blindly consuming online stories. He himself embraced his role as the “villain” in his own story to keep his followers engaged.
“You will continue to consume these stories about me,” he warned, “year after year, as long as I tell the Internet that I am the bad guy.”
He continued: “Stories that get into the minds of the ants and stay there and infect them. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. They are the ants.”
