Video 2 (CONTENT WARNING: Torture, SA)
I’m not much for YouTube drama but never liked Mr. Beast’s child lotteries and wealth glorification. If you wanted to improve society you could put that money into actual charity, but of course that isn’t a profitable strategy. Oh well.
I was a fan when I was younger, back when he was just some guy doing funny shit, but a mix of me growing up and him becoming more corporate caused me to stop watching.
I went from ambivalent to angry when he started doing ads. He’s known to kids as “do what I say and you’ll make money”. And then he started saying “buy this thing”. Kids are stupid, so they’ll probably think if they buy the stupid mobile app he’s pushing, then they’ll become rich
