I've always been sus of his content it seems to all be gambling, selling product, or sanitized hunger games style contests that pit struggling content creators against each other targeted at a young audience.
- talldayo 2y agoThat, or the fact that he very clearly abuses charity as a public spectacle and shield against legitimate criticism. Truly, Mr. Beast's content is one step removed from the YouTubers that made homeless people dance for a $10 bill.
- jeffwask 2y agoI was initially going to say it was sanitized "bum fights" from early YouTube but switched to hunger games
- JohnFen 2y agoOh, the "bum fights" comparison has some resonance with me. I find his videos to be very off-putting and sometimes offensive. I generally feel like I need a shower after watching them. But I'm obviously not his target demographic, so my opinion is meaningless. I'm just reassured to learn I'm not completely alone.
