It’s the great equalizer: All trucks will return to earth sooner or later. What once was shiny and new will someday deteriorate into a pile of twisted metal and scattered engine guts. Although it’s painful to watch the degradation of once-beautiful machines, if uninterrupted by human intervention, this ruin is a natural occurrence that obeys the laws of the universe. Trucks will eventually return to the earth.
However, when the process mutates into something unnatural and happens a wee bit faster, the world notices. On the WhislinDiesel YouTube channel, the expedited truck destruction of a 2017 Ford F-350 Limited trim Super Duty has captivated many. The poor truck has been jumped, loaded insanely beyond payload, mocked by the installation of improper parts, beaten to a pulp, physically buried so that only its stack was above earth, ripped apart by an excavator, and thrashed and bashed in the most torturous of ways. Such destruction can be observed in numerous videos showcasing these unspeakable trials endured by this truck.
For some reason, it’s hard to look away from the unnatural demise of this once-beautiful 2017 Ford F-250 Limited Super Duty custom truck; it has an Any Level hydraulic lift kit and big American Force wheels. There is something about the human soul that makes destruction satisfying.
Moreover, this attraction to the unnatural demolition of a lifted show truck appears to be widespread. Millions of viewers have followed WhislinDiesel’s journey of obliteration. There’s something about it that captivates and continues to engage audiences.
Speaking of all-things unnatural and contrary to common sense, there’s actually something quite ironic about the internet’s obsession with watching some individual figuratively burn a pile of his own cash before our very eyes. Some may think he’s losing money on the deal, but he’s not; everyone involved has something to gain. Consider this: WhislinDiesel’s videos about the lifted F-350 have a collective audience of 27.5 million views—and counting. By actually destroying this vibrant blue F-350, WhislinDiesel has possibly paid for his investment, generating advertisement revenue ranging from $55,000 on the low-end to $275,000 on the high-end. As each video accumulates more views over time, these numbers will continue to grow. Potentially, additional revenue could also stem from affiliate programs and sponsorships. Consequently, he’s making a decent living by showcasing the destruction of a Ford truck.
In conclusion, for those internet skeptics who question where this money originates, the answer is straightforward. It comes from humanity’s twisted attraction to the unnatural destruction of vehicles.
