Once the Steve Jobs of unboxing videos, now more like the Steve Wozniak of “Wait… who?”
Let’s unwrap the layers of this fallen tech messiah.
🛠️ First, The Golden Years:
2010–2019: The golden age of taping yourself opening boxes.
- 🎩 Lewis Hilsenteger, the smooth-talking tech whisperer, created a YouTube channel to open boxes. And the world said, “Yes, this is content.”
- 💥 2014’s “iPhone Bend Test” went viral. Overnight, Lewis wasn’t just reviewing gadgets — he was bending Apple’s reality.
- 📈 Views in the millions, sponsor deals fatter than Apple’s margins, and brand collabs flying faster than Teslas on Autopilot.
📉 Then Came The Plot Twist: Karma Unboxed
1. 🚩 The Pablo Phone Fiasco
“Escobar Inc sent me a phone!”
— Lewis, 2020, shortly before deleting the video.
- Promoted the Escobar Fold 2 — a rebranded Galaxy Fold from the literal drug cartel family.
- The twist? Buyers never got their phones. But hey, at least they got scammed stylishly.
- Lewis: “I didn’t know it was a scam.”
Internet: “Bro… it’s named after Escobar. ESC-O-BAR.”
2. 🧠 Viewbot Therapy
Millions of views, barely 500 comments. The math ain’t mathing.
- View count sky-high. Engagement: lower than your savings account interest rate.
- Fans noticed bots boosting videos faster than crypto rug pulls.
- Comments alleging view-botting? Magically disappeared. (Coincidence? Or AI-level moderation sorcery?)
3. 💧 Water From Air… and Trust From Lies?
“This device pulls drinking water from thin air.”
— Sponsored review, brought to you by the science of maybe.
- Showcased tech that sounds like Wakanda but smells like snake oil.
- Viewers fact-checked: similar products existed for a tenth of the price.
- Critics: “Why is he hyping this like it’s a Tony Stark invention?”
Lewis: “Because the cheque cleared.”
4. 📱 The Great iPhone Giveaway That Wasn’t
“We’re giving away a truckload of iPhones!”
— 2014. The truckload part was true. The giveaway? Debatable.
- Lewis promised a massive iPhone giveaway.
- Allegedly gave away… a few.
- People who entered: “We got ghosted harder than Indian VCs after due diligence.”
🪦 Fame Fatigue: When the Box Became Empty
- Subscriber count? Still above 19M.
- Reputation? Slightly better than the Escobar Fold 2 battery life.
- Once a trendsetter — now a cautionary tale in every “How Not to YouTube” seminar.
- Most recent videos? Lower views, less buzz, and more comments asking, “Wait, you still post?”


🧾 📊 The Chart of Decline
Year | Event | Karma Level |
---|---|---|
2014 | iPhone Bendgate | +999 (Viral Hero) |
2020 | Escobar Scam | -1000 (YouTube Jail) |
2021 | Botting Allegations | -500 (Suspicious Silence) |
2022 | Water Scam Vid | -300 (Hydrated Lies) |
2023 | Still uploading? | 🤷 |
📬 Final Thoughts From the EduInvesting Analyst’s Desk
Unbox Therapy’s journey is proof that no amount of tech can save you from losing trust.
You can open every box in the world, but once the internet opens your Pandora’s box, the algorithm turns on you like an unpaid intern.
💡 Lesson for creators:
Don’t bend the truth. It doesn’t bounce back like an iPhone.
🏁 TL;DR:
- 📉 Fame collapsed faster than an Android beta update.
- 🤖 Alleged bot views and shady products broke trust.
- 😵💫 From gadget guru to digital cautionary tale.
