Oh look a rich person controlling other people with money. 🤮
entertainment is something everyone can enjoy, like human suffering or camping
Basically a gladiator spectacle but with less obvious class dividers.
I mean it’s from top to bottom, including the reward (monetary instead of livelyhood)That sounds like what happens to me at work. I don’t like it
A criminal living in jail to win 500k? It’s not like he can leave……
A 2.5M jet’s gonna cost so much in maintenance, if the pilot gets it, it’s gonna ruin them :|
Uh if you can pilot that jet and own it outright, you have a whole-ass business. They’ll be fine.
yeah, at that point you just gotta sell it off. Hell, sell it off half price and you still get life changing money.
He’ll have to sell it to cover his federal income tax bill. Or more likely mortgage it if he’s planning his own business around the aircraft.
Cats.
Welcome to Omelas?
Fuck… I had a thought that ended with that concept, just earlier today. My end-thought was kinda like, “would you walk away from Omelas with me?”
It was a day for me; but what a small (fucked up) world
I hate these people.
I hate what they’re doing.
I really cannot wait until this guy’s audience grows out of his stupid garbage. Though unfortunately, it’s going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
Back during the George Floyd protests I was watching a live stream from NYC. Several people in the comments were saying the store owners should shoot the protesters if they broke windows. I asked chat, “Do you really value property over human life?” No one said “no”, and three explicitly responded “yes!” to me. I’ll never forget that, I was a bit shocked.
Dude you obviously have not seen game shows from well forever the last 50 60 years at very least. Mr beast is just a continuation of those game shows. I for one had never really heard or watched him before beast games came out. And then I started saying more and more of his stuff. But it’s always been a part of game show culture and everything else culture to value the game and the money over anything else. However even watching those games and even his games you’ll see quite a few people that value other things over the money.
That it’s “always been” doesn’t make it any more acceptable. I’m not sure what you’re saying here.
Simply that the take on them destroying society because they are taking a small handful of people and putting them in a competition isn’t accurate at all.
I was born in the '70s. I grew up on those game shows. They do not hold a candle to the brazen contempt for humanity that Mr Beast videos have.
Huh. You must be watching something far different then what I’ve seen.
Game shows are tame. I mean fear factor being the exception that was a fucking disgusting show. But what can you expect with who was hosting it.
And doing this stuff that he does for these guys is pretty tame oh don’t leave a plane for 24 hours oh don’t leave a grocery store for 2 days you know different stuff like that I don’t see anything that is out of the ordinary. They used to do the things all the time and I’ve even seen them live where it’s like hey come touch this car and the last person standing gets it stuff like that where people are literally passing out and everything like that they’ve been doing that since like the you know 40s 50s 60s stuff like that none of this stuff is new is my point.
it’s going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
Yes because that doesn’t already exist…
I dunno, I think he definitely shaped that thinking, not the horrible capitalistic systems we all live under
No the horrible capitalistic systems we are living under right now are shaped and controlled by the 70 and 80 somethings that currently have a strangle hold on the government.
In other words the FUCKING BOOMERS!
The funniest/saddest thing is hearing stories from niche youtubers that did one of his events talking about kids they meet finding out about it and immediately asking them for money. Just an instant switch from bored disinterest to excited begging.
Mr Beast is such a cunt
Mr Beast is a cunt
and a douche
I presume that’s just for his own “use”.
- made with AI
Did Mr. Beast just use the words cop and criminal interchangeably? Or am I misunderstanding something.
Probably means a cop and a criminal living in a shared cell.
Which I don’t think is fair, that person is in a lot of physical danger of violence. What did that criminal do to deserve such treatment?
So possibly two cops living together in a jail?
Potentially. The cop is definitely a criminal, however the other person might be a “criminal”
A solid clarification, thanks!
Glad we could have this circle jerk!
Because he’s just a boy in a basement. Don’t judge, you’d keep a boy in a basement if you could, too.
We know that Trump & Epstein would. No, they don’t care about the gender of a child.
If you criticize him for having a boy in a basement that just means you’re jealous of his success
I upgraded to an Attic Lad -ages- ago. Those squirrels never knew what hit them.
Wait, you guys don’t already have a basement boy? What do you use to get rid of the scary spiders and cobwebs down there?
I keep spiders in the basement to keep all the boys away.
That’s like the Bizarro World version of milkshakes in the yard.
My spiders scare all the boys from the yard
And their like, real fucken tall
They could eat you, cause they got big jaws
^Ace. Though works better s/from/to/, since “I keep spiders in the basement to keep all the boys away.”
$2.5 m for a private jet seems really low
Probably a piece of shit
It’s low for a new jet, used jets lose a lot of their value over time and there are a lot of them. For 2.5m you’re probably looking at a used business class jet, like a Lear 31, or a Hawker 800. Some sort of private plane that was owned and used by a corporation.
A criminal living in a jail? Truly revolutionary stuff
Well he’s Mr Beast, not Mr Genius.
With a cop in the same cell? Probably not very common, but seeing that this is show with cameras around, I don’t expect anything genuine
Every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints.
No, the cop is the criminal
Well at least someone is putting cops who commit crimes in jail
Right, and how commonly they’re put in the same cell? Last I checked, they commonly get special treatment
EDIT: Nevermind, I completely missed the joke because I live in a country that respects police since they actually serve the public
Re: EDIT
Where the fuck?
Northern Europe. Or East Europe depending on who you ask. Baltics.
EDIT: Just to elaborate with some exceptions: I ride an illegal Ebike, but police knows this and has pretty much made a verbal exception because I’m always respectful of others, don’t break laws, don’t speed, I’ve been riding it for a decade with multiple random stops and checks and explanations, etc. - always everything being good except for the voltage of my ebike, but I do live in a rural region where after I leave small city of 10k, I have to drive 7km to my home and I can’t drive a car due to medical condition. They have always been understanding.
Another one is that each time I’ve had to call them, they genuinely showed real interest and all problems were promptly solved - flooding from neighbouring farm after they messed with dams, some jackasses using shitty rural roads as dragstrip (probably saved their lives), laptop theft
Completely out of the loop:
Who’s Mr Beast, what does he do, why should I know him?
What does it mean “I have”? What does he have? A new type of game show? A movie, book, play, game?
Is this real or satire?
Folding Ideas on YouTube has a very entertaining video about him.
He runs a poverty porn channel - do this thing and if you do it you get money. He pretends its about altruism but its about clicks. Oh and he’s also been closely associated with a number of crypto scams where a coin is launched and then rugpulled.
The only thing I know about him is that he is very good at Dune Imperium board game and he hosted multiple tournaments for it.
He’s a wildly popular streamer guy that does wacky shit like this and it somehow translate to lots of views/money. I didn’t know who he was for a very long time to many peoples’ surprise. I was truly disappointed he didn’t look like Beast from the X-men.
Being serious:
- started as a YouTuber that did trend videos like “I did the latest trend, but did it BIGGER”
- figured out a (very exploitative) formula for maximising viewer retention whilst getting as many sponsorship deals into a video as possible
- Became the first YouTube Millionaire
- Started amping up this formula by making the challenges shocking and attention grabbing, such as “I PUT 10 PEOPLE IN AN UNLOCKED HOTEL ROOM, LAST TO LEAVE GETS $5 MILLION”
- realised he could wash his terrible reputation by occasionally releasing a charity video instead, kept it being exploitative though, his most famous example was “I CURED THE BLINDNESS OF 100 PEOPLE” (all blind because they had treatable, easily, diseases but American Healthcare is so exploitative they couldn’t afford to get the treatment)
He’s basically everything wrong with YouTube rolled into one person
You didn’t even mention his terrible chocolate and candy
I barely know who Mr Beast is, I’ve NEVER seen one of his videos, but Publix had one of his candy bars on their Clearance Shelf (I love the Clearance Shelf), and it was really good chocolate, much more like European Chocolate. It was smoother without that vomity alkaline taste that American chocolate has, that we’ve all gotten used to.
It didn’t turn me into a fan, but his chocolate bar was actually really good.
Very much agree. As a UK bod, American chocolate bars generally taste like poison and smell like sick.
My kids were big fans of Mr Beast when the chocolate bars came out, so of course we had to buy it when we saw it. And honestly, it was actually really good.
It’s definitely not really good and like European, but it is a step above Hershey. It sits somewhere in the middle. If you found it cheap it was probably a good value.
It was like 75 cents to try it.
I waited to try “dubai chocolate” until it made it to the discontinued shelf. I should have waited even longer.
I have only vague knowledge, but I think it’s real. He’s a twat that a huge number of kids look up to, who is essentially the end boss of capitalistic decay.
That is Lucifer, the great beast, the biblical devil. Hence “Mr Beast”. He revealed himself to humanity in the mid 2010s, expecting to incite the apocalypse. But everyone was already pretty shook at the general state of the world, so nobody cared. He still tries to shock the world with diabolical stunts, but he really just can’t compete with politicians and billionaires.
He really has to up his game if he wants to compete with the state of the world.
He’s a YouTuber who does “game shows” with concepts like in this post. The tweet might be fake though, OP didn’t post a link.
Thanks! This post confused me quite a lot.
Note, he’s not just ‘a YouTuber’, he is currently the most popular one by quite a margin.
Note that this doesn’t mean his content is good or worthwhile.
