No matter what, the amount of money, contests, and just absolute overindulgence capable by Mr Beast is insane in any functioning society. The disparity is so bad these influencers and people with money swoop in, gift people egregious and lavish gifts are rewards for contests, and use that to further enrich themselves through monetized channels. Its sickening to watch. This shouldn't be reality.
Why is it people who hoard wealth and use that wealth to hoard more wealth by fucking as many people as possible always get this dismissive "eh of course they do shrug," - but as soon as somebody finds wealth and is like "how can I do something useful with this" then uses that wealth to start a food bank and fund water/energy projects for needy communities we gotta spend our day breaking down how they're evil and sus?
If MrBeast leaves YouTube I will consider that a win. I am so tired of see his gaping jaw open on my front page for his stupid stunts and his stupid candybars.
I wonder how well connected and rich Elon is to insulate him from consequences. Many people who have done as idiotic mistakes as he did have gone bankrupt or have been shunned already.
Why do billionaires who do a fraction of a fraction of what he does get a free pass to actively steal economic activity from their workers and customers because their product isn't content - but somebody whose business is creating something of value (content) who pays his people reasonably and also does good for people needs to be be taken down at every turn and shat on at every opportunity?
Corporate apologism at its finest, right here. The only true evil is making money via creating a popular product instead of stealing the economic value of those who create a product for you because you already had all the capital to start with. Infinite corporate greed is good because it's private, using your money and platform to help people is evil because they do it in the open.
