Man live streaming himself in 'solitary confinement' with no light for a month is leaving viewers extremely concerned

Welcome to the bizarre world of streamers

A YouTuber has been live-streaming himself in 'solitary confinement' for the past month, a decision which is leaving his followers extremely concerned.

For the older generations, live-streaming yourself doing a bunch of random things for internet clout may seem like a bizarre thing to do, but welcome to the weird world of the internet, my friend - where you can go viral for doing the strangest things imaginable.

While not a recent concept, streaming has increased in popularity over the past few years, thanks to websites such as Twitch, as well as 'live' features on more traditional platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Streaming has also given people a platform to secure their place in the internet hall of fame (or infamy) after doing completely bonkers things - with one content creator landing himself in hot water after being live while crashing his $150k supercar.

Another controversial name in the world of online live-streaming is Australian YouTuber Norme, who is currently around 350 hours (just over 14 days) into filming himself in solitary confinement for an entire month, with no light, in order to break a 'world record'.

And it's a decision that has left his followers worried for his wellbeing.

Tuning in to watch a random 19-year-old either sleeping of attempting to go about his day in the dark doesn't sound like riveting viewing, but several of Norme's 1.2 million subscribers are more than happy to oblige.

The YouTuber even promises to perform a bunch of tricks for money - like a bizarre circus act - including doing a handstand for $5, charging $20 to put a straight jacket on for 15 minutes, and offering to tape his mouth shut for an hour, should anyone cough up $50.

We're around halfway into Norme's ambitious target, and fans are already concerned for his wellbeing, as many are worried that he is acting increasingly erratic during his waking hours.

Various moments saw the teenager appearing to be incoherent during his waking hours, with Dextero reporting that he was seen mumbling about 'intergalactic aliens' during the fifth day of his challenge.

It's unknown if Norme was doing this for viewers, or if he is really feeling the effects of isolation.

However, his actions have left viewers worried regardless. Norme himself even expressed concern for continuing the challenge, telling his audience at one point that he was 'legit about to quit'.

This isn't the first time that Norme has made headlines for his extreme challenges.

The streamer previously received a visit from the police after attempting to break the Guinness World Record for how long he could stay awake.
