      What’s to see?

      I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

      Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

      He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

      I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical

        TDLR: Hate the game, not the player. But also hate players who do not wish to change the game for the better.

          Fuck that. Break the Game. Burn the Dollar. Give zero fucks for anyone trying to stop you. Let them die before the AIVRM destroys their Soul’s memory of Kharma and the will is stolen. Call it a gift.

      If he is doing well for others, for whatever selfish reason it is, then why should it matter?

        There is an argument to be made that he is promoting that stuff and in doing so spawning a litany of less scrupulous copy cats.

        I’m not sure he is the egg of that particular variety of content.
