The mainstream shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune I don’t mind, they’re generally pretty lighthearted. I figure if someone gets a score up to tens of thousands of dollars but ends up leaving with $1,000 or similar, they’re still leaving with more than they came with, there was no real risk for them, just as there was no guarantee. The further games go from skill and knowledge, the less interesting I find them.

When it comes to folks like MrBeast, he just seems icky to me. I’m glad he does philanthropy, but his challenges just seem like a rich person convincing poorer people to do uncomfortable things for his amusement, all under the thin veneer of YouTube entertainment
