He won’t be old enough to be eligible to be president in 2029. Maybe in 2033.

explodicle ,

At least he’s got practice giving money away

miridius ,

Would honestly be better than the current options

You joke but this is genuinely what a lot of newspaper headlines read when talking about younger people these days.

Junkhead ,

words cannot properly articulate how much i hate this dude and his jackass face

gentooer ,

I just don’t understand it. I once watched a video of his out of curiosity, as he had the largest YouTube channel, and I just don’t get it. Our country’s TV channel for children is more interesting.

Junkhead ,

watching paint dry is more interesting. Dude is so bland his entire personality can be boiled down to is “i have money please someone love me”

dustyData ,

That’s because he aims at a very specific hyper engaged demographic. The pre-pubescent teenager. Then they keep watching either out of habit or emotional stunting. They might not be a very sofisticated audience, but they are very dedicated. It might be all they watch, they construct their identity around the content they watch and demand parents to spend money on the products pushed to them by their favorite influencers.

This is not unusual, all generations have done it and diverse agents have capitalized from it. From boy bands, to star wars, Disney kids/adults… They are the unicorn audience in marketing, if you can get your claws on a person during that development stage, you got yourself a consumer of your brand for life.

To this day I’m sure he is just laundring money. Or that he has some special deal with youtube.

I don’t believe that he “just mastered youtube algorithm”, that’s not how things normally work. Idk to me just sound not trustworthy most of the time, there’s something going on.

SSJMarx ,

I did some napkin math on him when he first got famous, his giveaways represent a pretty small fraction of his yearly income before taking into account merch, restaurant licensing, etc. They seem huge but it goes to show how much a popular media personality can make if they are appropriately CEO-brained.

I like to frame Mr. Beast in the context of the NFL.

The Super Bowl had 123 million viewers this past year. A 30 second ad slot costs $7 million. This is something we can all wrap our heads around. It’s a big deal, and that’s a lot of people.

Mr. Beast puts out a video about every 2 weeks. Most get more viewers than the Super Bowl. Some almost double. If every video he makes essentially prints him $20 million in ad and sponsor revenue, I wouldn’t be surprised.

That’s why he can give away $1 million in a video.

daniskarma ,

I’m not sure mr beast views are real. And youtube probably know it.

daniskarma ,

That’s all based on his info on how much is he earning. Which may be a lie.

I don’t even think his views per video are not inflated either by bots or by youtube themselves inflating the numbers.

Fun fact: I got to access to his email through my job once. It’s insane the amount of dumb fuckery people will email. One person had cc’d his email on a whole thread of emails stalking some woman.

StaySquared ,

Oh hey… it’s that guy who would get his face smooshed in if he appeared at the right place and the right time.

JokeDeity ,

I really don’t get how people don’t see right through this guy.

SchizoDenji ,

If he is doing well for others, for whatever selfish reason it is, then why should it matter?

tempest ,

There is an argument to be made that he is promoting that stuff and in doing so spawning a litany of less scrupulous copy cats.

I’m not sure he is the egg of that particular variety of content.

SchizoDenji ,

Copy cats who spend money on good causes?

Shampiss ,

What’s to see?

I wish people would see past the idea that millionaires are evil people (and yeah they are), and understand that the root of this issue is on the economic/governmental system that allows people to hoard this much wealth

Yes it’s dystopian as fuck how much money he’s able to make. But that’s not a result of him being evil or something. That’s a result of how the advertisement Industry works.

He’s just a guy that mastered the YouTube game and is doing what he’s good at. He could retire or take a more relaxed work routine and still be a millionaire. But he works a lot to make more YouTube content because he likes it.

I don’t like Mr. Beast. But don’t think he’s doing anything unethical

UraniumBlazer ,

TDLR: Hate the game, not the player. But also hate players who do not wish to change the game for the better.

Chakravanti ,

Fuck that. Break the Game. Burn the Dollar. Give zero fucks for anyone trying to stop you. Let them die before the AIVRM destroys their Soul’s memory of Kharma and the will is stolen. Call it a gift.

mvirts ,

😹

deaf_fish ,

I remember being young and making bad political decisions. If my generation got to do that why not gen alpha? I hope the legacy my generation leaves behind helps gen alpha elect the leaders that they want without being fooled by the lies.

I do think centrist nonsense like what Mr. Beast has said he would do should be opposed. He stated that if he did run, he would “listen to the best of the left and the best of the right,” which manifests a mystical property on the center of arbitrary lines being “good,” somehow.

dfecht ,

lmao spoken like someone whose only concern is their brand. Unsurprising, but still gross.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Yep, it’s an extremely common viewpoint for privledged “apolitical” kids who think they solved politics.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah. Especially the part where they think they’ll be able to get everyone to agree on what’s best about each side.

Crikeste ,

Also the naivety that, because people hold beliefs, they must somehow be good.
