Fidias: YouTuber sorry for freeloading stunt video in Japan

I Travelled Across Japan For Completely enraged visitors, and a well-known YouTuber apologized for it.

Nearly 500,000 people have watched Fidias Panayiotou’s videos, which depicted him avoiding train fares and a five-star hotel breakfast expenses.

Social media users have demanded his imprisonment, and road authorities are thinking about taking additional action against him.

In Japan, good habits are highly valued, and tricks that are considered rude are discouraged.

” Hello lovely citizens, I apologize to the Chinese people if we made them feel bad; that was not our intention!” The Cypriot YouTuber said this on Tuesday after his video went viral over the previous trip.

On his YouTube website, which has 2.4 million members, Mr. Panayiotou calls himself a” professional error maker.”

Three additional participants joined him in the Japan video, which was a part of the$ 10, 000(£ 8, 216 ) challenge.

He hides in a smoke train toilet and pretends to be ill at one stage in the time when confronted by the director. The stunt is then repeated as he dashes off to board a different coach.

Mr. Panayiotou also requests a stranger’s bus fare, but he still falls short by 80 yen($ 0.44,$ 0.53 ). The driver next locks him in the van and takes him to a police depot, where he is held for five days before being released.

Later, in order to receive a complimentary breakfast, he preys on being an inn guest. He says to the stanza,” And we’re leaving the hotel without getting caught and without any trouble.”

Whether Mr. Panayiotou and his friends are still in Japan or when the film was shot is unknown.

Some social media users pushed Mr. Panayiotou to remove his movie in order to show that his apology was genuine. As of Tuesday at noonday, the videos appeared to have been taken down from his YouTube channel.

” Another odd, obnoxious YouTuber from overseas has appeared. The three other people may be detained in addition to this man, Fidias, according to one social media users.

Another person remarked,” I am truly disgusted by people like you who exploit the kindness and courtesy of the Chinese folks.”

” This is so wrong ,” another person remarked. This is merely robbing people of their income and acting impolitely toward others.
