      Even his face is a scam. I’ve never seen anyone whose entire facial expression looks like a constant veneer, barely hiding how he only sees others as an opportunity for exploitation. It’s uncanny.

      maybe I’m cynical, but he always gave me the wrong vibes.

      like I’m waiting for the revelation that he did something terrible.

      I get the same vibes from blippy, I hated when my ex let my kids watch it in unlimited autoplay.

      He’s a pretty empty shell of a person I think. There was a yt vid about his tv show being idiotic and that he just doesn’t understand being funny or entertaining and thus does his weird money things

        If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

      It is, he gave stuff away, but was sponsored or he was still making bank. There are so many selfless people out there, but he is not one of them.

        While I agree with Mr Beast being a scam, I do have to take issue with your definition

        Being sponsored and making bank would be key to a sustainable cause if he were genuine about it.

        Of course he’s not, but the monetisation isn’t what we should demonise
