I hate these people.
I hate what they’re doing.
A criminal living in jail to win 500k? It’s not like he can leave……
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
All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
Dude literally watched Squid Game and said that shit would be better if it were real then set out and did it.
But for 5k a day… Yeah, I’d waste three months of my life for that kind of money
Of course you would. I probably would too. It’s life changing money. But the morality of these ‘challenges’ is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮
And this is brings us to our next point–we need to tax the shit out of them.
I watched a video about it, and what’s interesting to me is that he had an enormous budget for this Squid Game remake. He spent it on setting up hundreds of cameras, building a whole set where the game would take place, hired all kinds of camera operators… but didn’t do even basic play-testing of the games he was going to have people play.
As a result, some challenges that were supposed to last for an hour or so ended up taking more than 12 hours. Some challenges that were supposed to eliminate half the contestants instead eliminated over 90%. Some challenges didn’t work because people refused to eliminate their friends.
All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
That’s literally a description of society. Not just modern society, society throughout all of history. The rich and powerful have always toyed with the peasants.
These are just variations of game shows. Do X and you can win $/Prizes while they film it and play advertisements while people watch.
A 2.5 million private jet is, uh, probably not new.
The smallest Very Light Jets, like the Cessna Mustang or HondaJet, start around $5 million new.
So you’re probably looking at a decades old plane, almost certainly not enough room to fully stand up, and possibly no lavatory.
Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here who knows about private jets
Hey, this dude has the value of knowing private jets weak points. Let it slide.
Ah yes, good point. @minfapper Tell us more about these jets, Mr. Fancy Pants.
Idk who you tagged but I hope it works
It could be a Cirrus Vision Jet.
Edit: holy shit they’ve gone up in price to $3.2M. Damn inflation hitting private jets too. Nobody’s immune
I looked this up. It was a Hawker 400XP, worth about $2.4 million. Yes, it’s a tiny jet.
Well that was an interesting source
Pilot who won private jet from MrBeast challenge briefly detained in Paraguay over drug case
The seized drugs were high in THC and were estimated at $3.6 million, according to Paraguayan officials.
So if this pilot users his new Jet to smuggle more drugs, is Mr Beast an accomplice?
Just a middlebeast.

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!
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
If Mr Beast was twenty years older, he would’ve been the one paying bums to flight.
Hell, I’d pay to see flying bums.
Is this like flying super kids, just with adults instead?
Yeah people would watch jumping gymnastics
Mr Beast’s Argentine Death Flights
Bum Flights: a show about trying to find among 100 unhoused people any of them who are capable of learning flight sims and eventually becoming pilots. Like crop duster level pilots realistically. Airline pilot certification is probably too far along to be entertaining.
Exploitative? Still probably exploitative. Guaranteed to be at least marginally better than whatever the Beast Studios people are making
But at least they would have a chance to get a job.
D’oh. I’ve edited it so now your comment doesn’t make sense. Flight -> fight.
My comments don’t make sense at the best of times.
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
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.”
I upgraded to an Attic Lad -ages- ago. Those squirrels never knew what hit them.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
is this real?
I think so unfortunately.
I recall hearing about the pilot one as the twist was that his family was waiting outside as the end approached and this sick fuck tried to get him to stay in longer for more money.
Haven’t heard of the others mind you. They’re on brand for him though.
holy flip. I really wish he just donated the money instead of torturing people for it.
Oh he “donates” money*
*to his friends, acting as strangers in his videos.
A 2.5M jet’s gonna cost so much in maintenance, if the pilot gets it, it’s gonna ruin them :|
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.
Uh if you can pilot that jet and own it outright, you have a whole-ass business. They’ll be fine.
I presume that’s just for his own “use”.
Mr Beast is such a cunt
Mr Beast is a cunt
and a douche
- made with AI
I have a pilot where one beast is captured and chained by each limb to ratchets. Ever 100 likes tightens a ratchet one notch. Which limb will give out first? Will the beast survive?
