despite less views, MKBHD is more net positive for humanity than MrBeast. MrBeast's whole game is to draw people's attention to not-so-useful content.

- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoWatching a review on a device you'll never buy is hardly a net positive compared to watching a yacht get blown up.
- aae42 2y agoNot so sure, while I like Marques, he has a 100% focus on consumerism.
- snapcaster 2y agoCome on, they're both useless consumerist slop (i watch a lot of slop not throwing stones just don't see either as beneficial at all)
- dogleash 2y agoIs product fetishism really better than light entertainment? The MKBHD slop is just branded with that same vibe of the products he likes to cover, namely the self-satisfactions of luxury goods that people mistake for high quality. That gives the false signal it provides more value than Mr. Beast. Yes, MKBHD technically covers products, but so did Top Gear. The content is neither necessary nor sufficient to make an informed purchase decision.
