Remember when MrBeast also got into trouble for re-creating 'Squid Games' for money & prizes. This was really ironic/tone deaf as this movie was a direct criticism of capitalism, excessive wealth and the exploitation of the poor for amusement.
@derpy alien "fun fo his fans" sure buddy, he literally does it to make more money and gain more subs so that the next sponser he is going to get is gonna pay more and ur out here acting like he really cares abt u specifically or the entire fan base. he is just another guy with a peronality to keep up and whitewash pr for big companies.
I think we have normalised poverty and its conditions so much as an immutable part of human existence that even his specific brand of charity for attention and clout make us mischaracterise this kind of behaviour as altruism.
I don't think it's fair to dismiss Mr. Beast's content as having "nothing of value to offer". Yes, his content may be entertaining and lighthearted, but that doesn't mean it's without value. For one, he uses his platform to raise awareness and funds for important causes, which is a form of social good. Additionally, his content can be a source of positivity and inspiration for his audience. It's true that we live in an age of constant entertainment, but that doesn't mean that everything we consume is worthless.
@@WolvePlex shut up kid clearly youre a brainwashed kid who sees stuff only as black and white without actually giving it thought and seeing ppls underlying motives and clear bs on social media. stop wasting ur time defending a potential billionaire by whining abt it in every other reply in the comment section.
He do charge people with attention and wastes something very valuable... time. Time to continue commenting and following for one day have the chance to win the lottery.
Dude you are saying he is stealing our time and we are not getting anything for our attention ,but I watch mrbeast videos to get entertained like and I think a large number of people also watch it for the same reason. Also charity and giving away money to homeless people or people in need videos spreads a good message . He uses his videos to help people , spread message , make money,use the money to help again or entertain us, and for all of these i think we can give our attention to him. He can also of course use some of the money for himself and grow his empire which is important for doing everything I said above
I saw a few Mr. Beast videos due to RUclips recommendations but couldn't really see the allure. At least the videos I saw seemed of limited value other than in the sense of wanting to wind down randomly blowing time watching TV. So this video makes some valid points about dumbing down of content. The game show analogy is fairly accurate. On the other hand, I don't think his intention is to humiliate this contestant. He makes fun of himself just like he does of them. Context matters. Malice doesn't seem his motivation. .And in terms of generosity, this video hasn't presented evidence he is or isn't being generous. It really depends on the specifics of how big of a piece of the pie he's keeping. If he lives relatively modestly then he's being generous. If he's living the whole rich guy in a private jet, giant mansion, giant yacht, giant everything... then he's manipulatively pawning off a clever business model as altruism. Can't say either way without knowing more details.
I think the video's point is that he could be doing this mainly not for money or wealth but for attention. And in this case, he is certainly making a lot of profit, even if he lives under a bridge.
@@kaleidoskoptv00 Making profit at last check isnt a crime Everyone needs to eat. The amount of altruism involved should be gaged by just how much of the aforementioned pie he keeps not innuendo.
@@mydogsbutler By 'profit' I ironically referred to the attention he is getting, not to any actual money or stuff, sorry for not making that clear. I am not saying that his behavior his wrong from a moral perspective. This is all about the psychological origins of that behavior. There can morally good behavior from pathological origins, as it is sometimes the case with 'helper syndrome', for example.
@@kaleidoskoptv00 btw - What's wrong with seeking attention is that's what someone wants? I wouldn't remotely want that for myself. It's not all glamour and praise. You end up part of the media and social networking circus sideshow. Depending how sensitive a person is you also have to deal with public character assassination too. (as this video shows which may or may not be accurate about some of its claims)
@@kaleidoskoptv00 Mr. Beast and his fans portray the channel as if altruistic and bettering the world. Although these two terms might seem like they are synonyms to some they are not. Making a profit isn't altruistic but it doesn't necessarily mean that someone isn't bettering the world. For instance, most doctors work for profit not for free. There is value in producing goods and services. Even entertainment has some positive value. I'm far from an expert on Mr. Beast but just casually browsing his video titles not all of them are just about handing out money. Some of them seem to be doing useful activities for the community. Of course all this does not necessarily mean his motives are altruistic. A lot of businesses frame themselves as if their efforts was out of the goodness of their hearts rather than mostly economic self-interest. It's a shameless marketing gimmick. In Mr. Beast's case I can't say either way. because i don't have enough information. If he's giving away most of his profit (i.e. after expeenses for his videos) then I would call it altruistic. If he's living extravagantly then I would say it's just a marketing gimmick.
This video is so super serious and trying to make it sound like some deep dive investigation into the life of some criminal who is ripping people off... You talk about people getting value out of his videos... But what value do people get out of watching Game of Thrones or something? It's freaking entertainment... That is valuable to people. I don't watch Mr. Beast, I barely know who he is... But if people find him entertaining... Then who really cares? He seems like he puts a lot of work into his videos... And he makes money on his hard work... Where is the problem here?
Game of Thrones wasn't created as a charity stunt. Damn the false equivalences go super fucking deep, how many logical leaps did comparing Mr. Beast to GAME OF THRONES take? It's not entertainment, the guy made a good point, he's no different than TV game shows, what's different from him and game shows or other RUclips channels like Beta Squad is his entire persona is built up around fake charity, things that look good on the surface but then when you look deep you find out it's not good. Like giving a homeless man $10,000? Really? So he's going to have one year of comfortable street living, but $10k can't get him housing so he can get an address to get a job, insurance, register for ID and taxes, get mental health treatment, or be able to support him long-term. It's all bullshit and if he didn't dress it up as charity or good-will then it wouldn't be as objectionable.
you know you made a good think piece when the comments is 50/50 people agreeing and disagreeing over it. I kinda agree that he does good and yadda yadda with his brand but as a person hes just so nothing, he has a kind of emptiness that you cannot explain unless youve seen somebody whos truly misserable and depressed, and thats because he doesnt feel as a person anymore he just became his brand, even with people who dont share anything genuine about themselves and are 100% a brand (for example somebody like The Rock or a Kardashian) , you can tell there is a regular human behind all that money and business, but Mr Beast lost himself to creating this empire of big viddos and just making more and more money and is probably because as you said, never really built a genuine relationship with anyone before he blew up, if he lost all his money suddenly would his "friends" even interact with him genuinely?
Your studies went completely wrong. Let me tell you something. If someone really helps people and showes it, then what it means? It means we shouldn't be egoistic a-holes and also help others. How people should promote good and helping people who need it if not showing it in public? Most of people who got help from him agreed to show faces on vids. If some didn't their faces were blured. Can't believe you've spend so much time studying this man and came to such wrong conclusions.
I think the point is not him trying to show that he helps people. It’s the way he makes fun of the poor people by making them do all sorts of things because they are poor. If he simply makes videos of him randomly helping people on the street then it’s fine.
Weird takedown vid of a dude that seems to have struggled and finally figured out what he was good at, made some money. He shares the money who cares if it's investment, shutdown every charity right now it's all for something. He's just on top So he's gotta fall? None of this is revolutionary it's literally how TV works. What of value did I get from binge watching Rino 911 For the 29th time, still watch it.
Charity's don't spend over half of their income on vapid and excessive stunts for views, usually over 80% of their revenue goes back to people in need, supporting long-term help groups that actually make a difference in people's lives, supporting them long term. Do you really think a homeless person can be rescued out of poverty with a single payout? What about having a bank account or job? You need an address for that, how can you expect to get housing if you have no income and social services are backed up for years? What about his general health, most importantly poor or degraded mental health from living on the street? THINK THIS SHIT THROUGH. It is FAKE, it's all for his benefit, it's all to get your views, he doesn't give a shit, he's appealing to the altruistic egoism that's so prevalent in our society "I like that he's helping people because I want to be one of those people"
wow...no one dislikes this video. I can claim never to have seen one of his videos and my children are not allowed to see his videos either. Rust Cole brought me here.
Oof the bit about if his videos are actually good really made me think; I think they have a great production, and I think some of them are actually great, I do think that the squid game one has actual value and that it's a great video, but now that I think about it, lots of his videos are completely void of meaning for me
to be honest the squid game video is one of the worst imo. he completely and fully ripped off the squid game show because he added nothing to value he just recreated (soft word used instaed of straight up copied) squid game sets and instead of consequence being death he just eliminates them from the game. and ppl bring up the fact that the director of squid game or whatever is ok with it, well when someone with such a big fan base makes something like that ofc no one is going to speak up against him because he is "the mrbeast" and the directors dont want to get on the bad side of ppl on the internet.
Ok... I'm convinced all these comments are you in alt accounts. Wish like/dislike was visible xD. But I guess judging one of the most famous creators gets you... Nothing? Oh wait... It gets you ATTENTION. I guess we found the reason behind this video, riding the train
One thing you failed to mention. By making this video technically you are helping him out. By giving him "Attention". Also I don't see how giving stuff away to people who really need it is a bad thing. That would be like me claiming Rich people giving to Charity's is Bad... okay.... Uh really bro! If anything this is like a Pot calling the Kettle Black. Not getting a subscription from me based on that Logic.
@@GracefulBanana How is it the problem? If you're all about self improvement I get it. Go watch a Hamza video then. But shitting on a youtuber for wanting attention is like shitting on a salesperson for trying to convince you to buy their product. In the meantime the dude has built schools, changed peoples lives, built wells in Africa etc. It's a net positive.
This is pretty hyperbolic. People watch a 10 minute video, it's for entertainment, that's about it right? Is SNL some kind of evil or do they make a show every week that people watch or they don't?
Yea man I'm sorry but you lost me on this one. To be clear, I almost never watch Mr. Beast, I agree his content is pretty low brow and attention seeking. But you can't just hate him for being successful. Nobody's forced to watch his videos. And to your point, the argument could be made that his humanitarianism is exploitative, but at the end of the day if it's helping people, what's the big deal? He doesn't OWE the world higher quality content. If this is what the masses want, I agree it reflects poorly on how sophisticated we are, but I mean...that's on us not him lmao.
What's the issue here? Yes, his videos are garbage so are half of the movies or tv shows out there. Yes, he's using viewers to go more viral but he's giving away things for it. There are a lot of rich people in this world who don't donate anything but take advantage of society. I don't know. Just my opinion.
@fire with fire This is a good response and callout, thank you. I’m still not convinced it’s a net negative but I could easily be convinced otherwise. I am cynical enough, however, to believe that some people need to have this sort of emotional manipulation to steer them to do objectively good things. Even the most purely good politician essentially needs to manipulate the public to get elected. But I agree that I’m unconvinced that MrBeast is trying to motivate others to do good in the world, so maybe that’s not relevant. (And for what it’s worth, I’ve never subscribed to the guy. I was directed here from a Digg post.)
The Irony is that you made a video about MrBeast to seek attention by bashing him for how he has become so big. Sorry, when I watched this video, I heard someone who is jealous of what MrBeast has done. hey, I happen to be one that watches MrBeast video's. But then I watch a lot of videos.
You did exactly like mr beast . Needed attention and posted this. In few weeks this video will be one more brick in a wall made off human need for attention.
There's actually a huge difference. First, I have skills, life experience, and relationships outside of RUclips that inform my opinions. Second, I don't post a video unless I believe that it will be of value to others. If even one person watches this video and is encouraged to pursue skills and relationships in the real world instead of desperately seeking social media attention at any cost, then it is a net positive. MrBeast can't say the same.
@@breno333444 I'm not arguing that I'm a better person, I'm arguing that we as a society should value skills and relationships over the ability to get attention. There's nothing wrong with getting attention per se, but if someone does get attention it should be because they are offering something of value, not because they gamed the algorithm.
@@the_projectionist well you started your sentence: “First, i have skills…” you just compared yourself to him. Don’t skip the subject. I feel sorry for you.
Also someone that mastered a algorithm way of use. Is someone that understand really well, what their consumer want in their seeking product (entertainment, pleasure, knowledge). Someone that blame a algorithm is simple someone that never typed a line of programming code, and since don’t have the extensive knowledge to understand how it operates. It looks like in my standard point of view that you envy him in some way.
humiliating yourself for attention is a tradition from clowns to slapstick comedy. this video seems needlessly salty. why not make something amazing then instead of pulling other people down for... views and likes?
At the end of the day this is entertainment so it doesn’t make sense to say that he’s stealing our time. And I don’t think that he’s branded as charity, everyone knows that he makes a ton of money. I don’t get the problem, it’s a business at the end of the day it has to get benefits.
If anything, he's making better use of our time. He is cashing in the time we gave him for humanitarian efforts instead of cashing in the time we give him to line his pockets and spend it like every other wealthy entertainer.
Meh. Your problem is with the world and the structures of power. Mr. Beast is not the problem. He's someone who would just be another victim of embedded power structures if he had not chosen to become part of the power structure by starting a business. You could level the same complaint against anyone who "cooperates" with capitalism rather than tries to overthrow it.
Thanks for exposing this guy. Honestly I don't think it should have taken much to believe that Mr Beast is a Phony, but then again people can believe in anything sadly. Including me
The video did not expose MrBeast as a phony but rather presented a critical analysis of his approach to philanthropy. It is important to acknowledge that MrBeast's charitable actions have had a positive impact on many people's lives. While it is valid to have a critical eye toward philanthropic efforts and their motivations, dismissing them entirely and labeling someone a "phony" does not contribute to constructive dialogue or action toward improving charitable practices. It's important to acknowledge that people can grow and learn from criticism, and it's possible for MrBeast to reflect on his approach and make improvements in the future.
@@WolvePlex You've misinterpreted what the video was saying. Mr Beast is ONLY doing Charity and wacky things for views. Thats why his content is considered TRASH. He doesnt care what people think of him, as long as he gets views. He's doing charity for his own selfish image as opposed to genuinely wanting to help people. He is only doing these video's so he can be payed lots of money. Theres a good reason no one else does what he does because its not philanthropy. As long as he gets those HIGH veiws, he won't change
@@DafyddBrooks You're overlooking the fact that MrBeast's videos are incredibly entertaining and require a lot of resources to produce. By making more money, he's able to re-invest production. This ultimately leads to better content for his fans to enjoy. He doesn't even own a house, he's literally just focused on making better and better videos. He benefits from the views and attention that his charitable actions bring, which doesn't mean he doesn't genuinely want to help people. He has given away millions of dollars to various charities and individuals in need and has used his platform to raise awareness for important causes. This is a significant contribution to society, and dismissing it as simply a ploy for views is an absolutely insane takeaway for you to have. There's nothing wrong with making money from creating content. MrBeast has worked hard to build an incredibly successful brand and has invested his money back into his content to make it even better for his fans. This is a common practice in the entertainment industry and it doesn't make someone a phony. I don't understand your obsession with ONE rich guy who truly has a good heart, rather than the other problems you guys like to complain about all the time.
Yes attention is the real currency and MrBeast hacked that algorithm way early. Now he has that superpower that literally every other creator wants, RUclips itself has its algorithm made for this and the entire social media machinary runs on our attention. So singling out mr beast is unfair. But, on the contrary, look at how he has chosen to use his superpower. He is literally helping people. He is exploiting this attention economy to HELP PEOPLE!! People are getting help. The scale at which he is doing things are becoming a possibility because of his seemingly attention grabbing stunts dude!
That’s the thing , he uses his power to help and grow himself which allows him to help more. In the early days he used to give 5,000 to 10,000 and now because of his growth he is able to give much more
@@smoke-tt1srI don't think that's necessarily true. MrBeast is very transparent about his charity work and how he uses his platform to help others. It's not just about growing his own brand or making money - he's genuinely trying to make a positive impact on the world. And even if there is some element of self-promotion involved, it doesn't negate the fact that he's doing good and helping people. So I think it's important to give credit where credit is due and not be too quick to dismiss someone's actions as just self-serving.
Wrong, giving people money isn't helping them or teaching them anything at all, how do we know they even will invest their money most of them don't lol don't be such a fool
Very well made video. But, I have no idea why he receives any more hate than the average celebrity, or literally anyone who works in Hollywood or RUclips for entertainment. This video portrayed giving entertaining videos to people as a bad thing. If MrBeast was never a thing, or any RUclipsr for that matter, would people suddenly go out and spend their attention on productive things? Would they read a book? Obviously not. People really be hating on others success just because. No hate to you, but why are you making this vid? Probably for attention… New sub btw, awesome channel.
part of the thesis here is that Beast's videos are not actually entertaining. they're just empty calories that are optimized to get views and get attention
mrbeast doesnt receive hardly ANY hate, i see people talking about people hating on mrbeast all the time but NEVER have i seen anyone actuall hating mrbeast, and yes im on twitter
"...would people suddenly go out and spend their attention of productive things?" You use the term "productive things," as if you've never heard of the term critic before. Or, someone being critical of someone else. FYI there's a lot of people (film, restaurant, business, products, etc, etc...) that make their living off of being critical of others. It's not hating. Being critical can not only earn someone a living, it can make the entity they're being critical of be all the more better. Sometimes, so called "hate" is just logical business sense.
most baseless arguement thats been made before and u took right out of some other video and said it here. no ppl wont read a book if mr beast didnt exist but atleast there woudlnt be someone who is hyper obsessed with pushing videos that promote this obssesion with money and ppl wouldnt be giving away their attention spans to a baseless video devoid of any meaning. and entertaining videos are not a bad thing but getting that entertainment value and content out of a homeless guy after throwing money at him is really un cool and using them for views. and if what mr beast is right now is percieved as sucess i would run as far as i can in the opp direction, the guy wakes up and sleeps thinking only and only abt growing his brand and attention spans and video retention and ideas he says it himself in a podcast, he has no life, he spends 15 hours a day working on those videos and is obssesd with yt and money jesus christ no thanks, just cause someone is calling out someone else it doesnt mean theyre jealous, it could just mean that the person getting called out might just be wrong aswell but oh well no one dare comment on mr beast bruhh
Value isn't just down to the quality of the content production. Ideas can be valuable too, and the idea of counting to a stupidly high number, or of reading the dictionary is evidently valuable to a lot of people. The 'no way he did that' phase is valuable enough to get the audience to click on the video. How moronic we would be to assume to know what value is universally. Value is subjective, and therefore the statement that a piece of content is valueless or devoid of value is universally void.
Then define "value" objectively. Mr Beast doesn't do anything to fix problems. Giving a homeless man $10,000 won't get him an address to get him a job or an education to get him skills, or insurance for health problems, you know what that gives him? A comfortable street life for about a fucking year and this guy makes millions off that video? You call that value, or clout?
But you spent 100 hours watching him... and all you got was .... making a video that you want to go viral too! Also, does that mean that binge-watching Netflix is also not giving people anything in return so its "bad" ? Why do you get to judge what others do for entertainment ?
Thank god that you are also in youtube. I found your tiktok from twitter and totally awed. So glad that i don't have to create tiktok account to follow you.
All he needs is attention and he is willing to spend 💲💲. Ofcourse he has equally greedy (mostly) fanbase just hoping to get some 💰 one day luckily. Atleast let's stop treating him like a demigod or something. He is just investing some money and getting paid back in terms of views. If it is not for the views he wouldn't have been that generous with his donations and other philanthropy.
@@Tomepolt You have the most small minded thinking I’ve ever seen, Doing good things doesn’t automatically make you a good person the world isn’t black and white dude.
Ah yes, a man who changed the world and built a philanthropic empire, and makes money by helping people, then using that money to help people is obviously a terrible person.
@@Cotif11 He took trash out the ocean, planted millions of trees, and has changed thousands of people lives for the better. That ain’t changing the world huh.
Sounds like this video maker is a little envious/jealous of Mr Beast. You could apply his logic to all social media platforms. They are all about attention seeking and getting the most views. At least Mr Beast is helping people with the money he gives away. I don’t see anyone else her doing that.
you're seeing a guy who is PUBLICIZING their charity. He'll do it if he gets something out of it. Reflect more about the people who don't need to publicize their charity.
@@hypersphereThe sentiment of wanting to acknowledge and appreciate people who do good deeds without seeking public recognition is great, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss or criticize those who do publicize their charitable actions. MrBeast uses his platform to promote and encourage giving, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Just because he benefits from the exposure doesn't negate the fact that he is doing good and helping people in need. It's not fair to belittle or invalidate his efforts by saying he's only doing it for selfish reasons. Instead, we should appreciate and support those who use their platform for good, regardless of their motivations or whether they choose to publicize their actions or not.
Mr. Beast use a very Capitalistic point of view, this is very American and western point of view, specially American, similar to Bill Gates giving money away. I've only seen 3 videos of Mr. Beast and is not appealing to me.
Capitalism, as an economic system, has many benefits and has played a significant role in the development of modern society. MrBeast's charitable acts and his use of capitalism to further his philanthropic efforts are commendable. There's nothing wrong with using capitalism as a tool to help others and make a positive impact. In fact, I would argue that this is a great way to promote positive change in society. Also just because MrBeast's content may not appeal to you personally, it doesn't diminish the positive impact he has had on the world.
Interesting essay, but it seems funny to focus on one dude when you're literally doing the same thing, and so is every other RUclipsr out there. It's a business. Why does news media generally have negative news? Because, clicks.
So is a solid 75% of all entertainment. MrBeast is making "junk food" content in the absolute best way possible by using charity AND inspiring the younger generation to help others, if you don't believe me then just look at how much the creator space has followed suit with charity-centered content already.
I completely disagree with everything that was said here. First of all, the idea that MrBeast is only using charity as a means to go viral and make more money is just ridiculous. Sure, he might get more views and subscribers from doing these videos, but that's not the only reason he does them. MrBeast genuinely cares about helping people and making a positive impact in the world, and he's using his platform to do that in a big way. And even if he is getting more money from going viral, what's wrong with that? He's still giving away millions of dollars to people who need it, and that's what really matters. If he can use his fame to raise more money and help more people, then I don't see why that's a bad thing. Plus, the argument that he's just doing it for attention is completely invalid. MrBeast could easily just make videos about himself and his own life and still get a ton of views and subscribers. But instead, he's using his platform to help others and make a difference in the world. That's something to be admired, not criticized. I think this video completely misses the point of what Mr. Beast is trying to do. He's not just trying to go viral or make more money - he's using his fame for good and making a real impact in people's lives. And that's something that should be celebrated, not criticized. Your editing is fantastic though :)
that's exactly what i see. the author of this video has an extreme bias of wanting to go viral being worse than wanting to murder somebody, it's actually insane. besides, he can't keep doing charity work UNLESS he makes viral hits. also, he's being a hypocrite. is he gonna really say that making and publishing this video was not put up out here for us to keep attention to this guy? creators are all in the same boat. this video also just happens to release with immaculate timing when everybody has a hate boner for mr beast right now. Wow, somebody wants attention.
Came from tik tok, this is a solid analysis! I always had a lil eerie feeling about mr beast but couldn’t quite put my finger on it, this explains it perfectly!
I think it's unfair to judge a video solely based on its views. Just because a video has a low number of views doesn't mean it's not valuable or insightful. It could just mean that the video hasn't been promoted or shared as much as it could be. Plus, I don't think we should generalize the entire society based on the views of one video. There are many factors that can influence the popularity of a video, and it's not always a reflection of society as a whole.
Pretty terrible take imo. 1. There is a fairly huge difference between his early "attention grabbing cause he counted to a big number" videos and the stuff he has put out over the last couple years, yet you conflate the two completely. 2. You state that his current videos have no entertainment value and people only watch them because they are designed to keep people's attention. Entertainment value is subjective. Millions of people find his content entertaining. It is fine if you do not, but you can't simply state that your opinion is fact. 3. You don't actually address how he's giving away money. Like, he paid for 1,000 people to get eye surgery they couldn't otherwise afford. While it is fucking horrible the US healthcare system is so fucked that that many people need this, it is still objectively a good thing he did it. And yes, he did it to get views, but that isn't mutually exclusive with it also being a good thing to do for people. 4. There is a shit ton of other media out there now, and there has been a shit ton before Mr. Beast, that is far more exploitative, bereft of value, dumb, etc., etc. Mr. Beast isn't a pioneer of doing dumb shit for views by any means. Nice job trying to leverage Mr. Beast to get views yourself though dude.
Everyone has different advantages in life, and it's not fair to discredit someone's hard work and dedication just because they may have had a head start. Additionally, MrBeast has used his success and platform to do a lot of good in the world, which is commendable. Instead of focusing on his advantages.
@@WolvePlex yeah I understand what you mean, I am trying to say that we should also work with our strengths and find a way to achieve success and give value

I think we have normalised poverty and its conditions so much as an immutable part of human existence that even his specific brand of charity for attention and clout make us mischaracterise this kind of behaviour as altruism.
Also: Terminal RUclips brain on this guy.
"with nothing of value to offer". Yep. Neil Postman called it in the 80's: we are "Amusing Ourselves To Death".
I don't think it's fair to dismiss Mr. Beast's content as having "nothing of value to offer". Yes, his content may be entertaining and lighthearted, but that doesn't mean it's without value. For one, he uses his platform to raise awareness and funds for important causes, which is a form of social good. Additionally, his content can be a source of positivity and inspiration for his audience. It's true that we live in an age of constant entertainment, but that doesn't mean that everything we consume is worthless.

I'm glad I never watched any of his video and I'm happy to give my attention to your channel.
Dude you are saying he is stealing our time and we are not getting anything for our attention ,but I watch mrbeast videos to get entertained like and I think a large number of people also watch it for the same reason. Also charity and giving away money to homeless people or people in need videos spreads a good message . He uses his videos to help people , spread message , make money,use the money to help again or entertain us, and for all of these i think we can give our attention to him. He can also of course use some of the money for himself and grow his empire which is important for doing everything I said above
I saw a few Mr. Beast videos due to RUclips recommendations but couldn't really see the allure. At least the videos I saw seemed of limited value other than in the sense of wanting to wind down randomly blowing time watching TV. So this video makes some valid points about dumbing down of content. The game show analogy is fairly accurate.
On the other hand, I don't think his intention is to humiliate this contestant. He makes fun of himself just like he does of them. Context matters. Malice doesn't seem his motivation. .And in terms of generosity, this video hasn't presented evidence he is or isn't being generous. It really depends on the specifics of how big of a piece of the pie he's keeping. If he lives relatively modestly then he's being generous. If he's living the whole rich guy in a private jet, giant mansion, giant yacht, giant everything... then he's manipulatively pawning off a clever business model as altruism. Can't say either way without knowing more details.
I think the video's point is that he could be doing this mainly not for money or wealth but for attention. And in this case, he is certainly making a lot of profit, even if he lives under a bridge.
@@kaleidoskoptv00 Making profit at last check isnt a crime Everyone needs to eat. The amount of altruism involved should be gaged by just how much of the aforementioned pie he keeps not innuendo.
@@mydogsbutler By 'profit' I ironically referred to the attention he is getting, not to any actual money or stuff, sorry for not making that clear. I am not saying that his behavior his wrong from a moral perspective. This is all about the psychological origins of that behavior. There can morally good behavior from pathological origins, as it is sometimes the case with 'helper syndrome', for example.
@@kaleidoskoptv00
btw - What's wrong with seeking attention is that's what someone wants? I wouldn't remotely want that for myself. It's not all glamour and praise. You end up part of the media and social networking circus sideshow. Depending how sensitive a person is you also have to deal with public character assassination too. (as this video shows which may or may not be accurate about some of its claims)
@@kaleidoskoptv00
Mr. Beast and his fans portray the channel as if altruistic and bettering the world. Although these two terms might seem like they are synonyms to some they are not.
Making a profit isn't altruistic but it doesn't necessarily mean that someone isn't bettering the world. For instance, most doctors work for profit not for free. There is value in producing goods and services. Even entertainment has some positive value. I'm far from an expert on Mr. Beast but just casually browsing his video titles not all of them are just about handing out money. Some of them seem to be doing useful activities for the community.
Of course all this does not necessarily mean his motives are altruistic. A lot of businesses frame themselves as if their efforts was out of the goodness of their hearts rather than mostly economic self-interest. It's a shameless marketing gimmick.
In Mr. Beast's case I can't say either way. because i don't have enough information. If he's giving away most of his profit (i.e. after expeenses for his videos) then I would call it altruistic. If he's living extravagantly then I would say it's just a marketing gimmick.
This video is so super serious and trying to make it sound like some deep dive investigation into the life of some criminal who is ripping people off... You talk about people getting value out of his videos... But what value do people get out of watching Game of Thrones or something? It's freaking entertainment... That is valuable to people. I don't watch Mr. Beast, I barely know who he is... But if people find him entertaining... Then who really cares? He seems like he puts a lot of work into his videos... And he makes money on his hard work... Where is the problem here?
Game of Thrones wasn't created as a charity stunt. Damn the false equivalences go super fucking deep, how many logical leaps did comparing Mr. Beast to GAME OF THRONES take? It's not entertainment, the guy made a good point, he's no different than TV game shows, what's different from him and game shows or other RUclips channels like Beta Squad is his entire persona is built up around fake charity, things that look good on the surface but then when you look deep you find out it's not good. Like giving a homeless man $10,000? Really? So he's going to have one year of comfortable street living, but $10k can't get him housing so he can get an address to get a job, insurance, register for ID and taxes, get mental health treatment, or be able to support him long-term. It's all bullshit and if he didn't dress it up as charity or good-will then it wouldn't be as objectionable.
Well, back in Ancient Rome people also have nice entertainment, in Colosseum, looks like it’s OK to you.
I've been around the Internet longer then he's been alive and I literally only learned about MrBeast in the last 6 months.
So yah....
I knew about Mr. Beast but I've watched exactly zero of his videos. Sure he has a lot of viewers, but there are plenty that don't waste their time.
you know you made a good think piece when the comments is 50/50 people agreeing and disagreeing over it.
I kinda agree that he does good and yadda yadda with his brand but as a person hes just so nothing, he has a kind of emptiness that you cannot explain unless youve seen somebody whos truly misserable and depressed, and thats because he doesnt feel as a person anymore he just became his brand, even with people who dont share anything genuine about themselves and are 100% a brand (for example somebody like The Rock or a Kardashian) , you can tell there is a regular human behind all that money and business, but Mr Beast lost himself to creating this empire of big viddos and just making more and more money and is probably because as you said, never really built a genuine relationship with anyone before he blew up, if he lost all his money suddenly would his "friends" even interact with him genuinely?
We will never know… we can just watch. He might be a psychopath or someone deeply lonely and in pain.
Closer to 90/10...
Your studies went completely wrong. Let me tell you something. If someone really helps people and showes it, then what it means? It means we shouldn't be egoistic a-holes and also help others. How people should promote good and helping people who need it if not showing it in public? Most of people who got help from him agreed to show faces on vids. If some didn't their faces were blured. Can't believe you've spend so much time studying this man and came to such wrong conclusions.
I think the point is not him trying to show that he helps people. It’s the way he makes fun of the poor people by making them do all sorts of things because they are poor. If he simply makes videos of him randomly helping people on the street then it’s fine.
Weird takedown vid of a dude that seems to have struggled and finally figured out what he was good at, made some money. He shares the money who cares if it's investment, shutdown every charity right now it's all for something. He's just on top So he's gotta fall? None of this is revolutionary it's literally how TV works. What of value did I get from binge watching Rino 911 For the 29th time, still watch it.
Charity's don't spend over half of their income on vapid and excessive stunts for views, usually over 80% of their revenue goes back to people in need, supporting long-term help groups that actually make a difference in people's lives, supporting them long term. Do you really think a homeless person can be rescued out of poverty with a single payout? What about having a bank account or job? You need an address for that, how can you expect to get housing if you have no income and social services are backed up for years? What about his general health, most importantly poor or degraded mental health from living on the street? THINK THIS SHIT THROUGH. It is FAKE, it's all for his benefit, it's all to get your views, he doesn't give a shit, he's appealing to the altruistic egoism that's so prevalent in our society "I like that he's helping people because I want to be one of those people"
wow...no one dislikes this video. I can claim never to have seen one of his videos and my children are not allowed to see his videos either. Rust Cole brought me here.
Let me fix your title for you: "Why The Projectionist Wants Your Attention." There you go.
Oof the bit about if his videos are actually good really made me think; I think they have a great production, and I think some of them are actually great, I do think that the squid game one has actual value and that it's a great video, but now that I think about it, lots of his videos are completely void of meaning for me
to be honest the squid game video is one of the worst imo. he completely and fully ripped off the squid game show because he added nothing to value he just recreated (soft word used instaed of straight up copied) squid game sets and instead of consequence being death he just eliminates them from the game. and ppl bring up the fact that the director of squid game or whatever is ok with it, well when someone with such a big fan base makes something like that ofc no one is going to speak up against him because he is "the mrbeast" and the directors dont want to get on the bad side of ppl on the internet.
Could have watched two hours of this
do u think this is a problem with the system (or "game") itself, or specifically with mrbeast?
I think it’s the new system of social media itself. Mr. Beast was smart enough to figure it out early and capitalize on it.
Ok... I'm convinced all these comments are you in alt accounts. Wish like/dislike was visible xD. But I guess judging one of the most famous creators gets you... Nothing? Oh wait... It gets you ATTENTION. I guess we found the reason behind this video, riding the train
Found the NPC
Wanting attention is one thing and feeling the need to point sth out is another. You are simply annoyed because this RUclipsr disliked your idol.
One thing you failed to mention. By making this video technically you are helping him out. By giving him "Attention". Also I don't see how giving stuff away to people who really need it is a bad thing. That would be like me claiming Rich people giving to Charity's is Bad... okay.... Uh really bro! If anything this is like a Pot calling the Kettle Black. Not getting a subscription from me based on that Logic.
Dude just described a business
and thats the problem
@@GracefulBanana How is it the problem? If you're all about self improvement I get it. Go watch a Hamza video then. But shitting on a youtuber for wanting attention is like shitting on a salesperson for trying to convince you to buy their product. In the meantime the dude has built schools, changed peoples lives, built wells in Africa etc.
It's a net positive.
@Musashi Get of your alt accounts and understand that you're doing exactly the same apart from the helping people part
@Musashi Call it getting triggered then. If 75% of the revenue goes to charity, what's the problem?
@Musashi Your video doesn't make sense
This was a fresh and appreciated perspective
This needs more views
Please make a video about me next
huh this vid already reached me on twitter only to find out it has less than 1k views here??? wow
This is pretty hyperbolic. People watch a 10 minute video, it's for entertainment, that's about it right? Is SNL some kind of evil or do they make a show every week that people watch or they don't?
Yea man I'm sorry but you lost me on this one. To be clear, I almost never watch Mr. Beast, I agree his content is pretty low brow and attention seeking. But you can't just hate him for being successful. Nobody's forced to watch his videos. And to your point, the argument could be made that his humanitarianism is exploitative, but at the end of the day if it's helping people, what's the big deal? He doesn't OWE the world higher quality content. If this is what the masses want, I agree it reflects poorly on how sophisticated we are, but I mean...that's on us not him lmao.
1000th subscriber
What's the issue here? Yes, his videos are garbage so are half of the movies or tv shows out there. Yes, he's using viewers to go more viral but he's giving away things for it. There are a lot of rich people in this world who don't donate anything but take advantage of society. I don't know. Just my opinion.
Armchair psychology is cringe
How dare you bring attention to this?? Why would you try to stop our devolution to Ow my Balls like the documentary Idiocracy predicted?? 😂😭
Watched this on tiktok you did an incredible job
“Making videos for attention is bad. Now here’s a video that’s going to be super controversial and get tons of attention.”
@fire with fire This is a good response and callout, thank you. I’m still not convinced it’s a net negative but I could easily be convinced otherwise. I am cynical enough, however, to believe that some people need to have this sort of emotional manipulation to steer them to do objectively good things. Even the most purely good politician essentially needs to manipulate the public to get elected.
But I agree that I’m unconvinced that MrBeast is trying to motivate others to do good in the world, so maybe that’s not relevant.
(And for what it’s worth, I’ve never subscribed to the guy. I was directed here from a Digg post.)
The Irony is that you made a video about MrBeast to seek attention by bashing him for how he has become so big.
Sorry, when I watched this video, I heard someone who is jealous of what MrBeast has done.
hey, I happen to be one that watches MrBeast video's. But then I watch a lot of videos.
You did exactly like mr beast . Needed attention and posted this. In few weeks this video will be one more brick in a wall made off human need for attention.
There's actually a huge difference. First, I have skills, life experience, and relationships outside of RUclips that inform my opinions. Second, I don't post a video unless I believe that it will be of value to others. If even one person watches this video and is encouraged to pursue skills and relationships in the real world instead of desperately seeking social media attention at any cost, then it is a net positive. MrBeast can't say the same.
@@the_projectionist so you are better human than him? What a shame.
@@breno333444 I'm not arguing that I'm a better person, I'm arguing that we as a society should value skills and relationships over the ability to get attention. There's nothing wrong with getting attention per se, but if someone does get attention it should be because they are offering something of value, not because they gamed the algorithm.
@@the_projectionist well you started your sentence: “First, i have skills…” you just compared yourself to him. Don’t skip the subject. I feel sorry for you.
Also someone that mastered a algorithm way of use. Is someone that understand really well, what their consumer want in their seeking product (entertainment, pleasure, knowledge). Someone that blame a algorithm is simple someone that never typed a line of programming code, and since don’t have the extensive knowledge to understand how it operates. It looks like in my standard point of view that you envy him in some way.
humiliating yourself for attention is a tradition from clowns to slapstick comedy. this video seems needlessly salty. why not make something amazing then instead of pulling other people down for... views and likes?
People can have an opinion you don't like
Hhh, mad because others hold different opinions? Grow up😂
At the end of the day this is entertainment so it doesn’t make sense to say that he’s stealing our time. And I don’t think that he’s branded as charity, everyone knows that he makes a ton of money. I don’t get the problem, it’s a business at the end of the day it has to get benefits.
If anything, he's making better use of our time. He is cashing in the time we gave him for humanitarian efforts instead of cashing in the time we give him to line his pockets and spend it like every other wealthy entertainer.
This video literally says nothing lol
watching mr beast count for 23 consecutive hours probably would've been a better use of time
Meh. Your problem is with the world and the structures of power. Mr. Beast is not the problem. He's someone who would just be another victim of embedded power structures if he had not chosen to become part of the power structure by starting a business. You could level the same complaint against anyone who "cooperates" with capitalism rather than tries to overthrow it.
Thanks for exposing this guy. Honestly I don't think it should have taken much to believe that Mr Beast is a Phony, but then again people can believe in anything sadly. Including me
Really Mr beast is a phony for helping people
@@axel665 well said, The ends don't justify the means
The video did not expose MrBeast as a phony but rather presented a critical analysis of his approach to philanthropy. It is important to acknowledge that MrBeast's charitable actions have had a positive impact on many people's lives. While it is valid to have a critical eye toward philanthropic efforts and their motivations, dismissing them entirely and labeling someone a "phony" does not contribute to constructive dialogue or action toward improving charitable practices. It's important to acknowledge that people can grow and learn from criticism, and it's possible for MrBeast to reflect on his approach and make improvements in the future.
@@WolvePlex You've misinterpreted what the video was saying. Mr Beast is ONLY doing Charity and wacky things for views. Thats why his content is considered TRASH. He doesnt care what people think of him, as long as he gets views. He's doing charity for his own selfish image as opposed to genuinely wanting to help people. He is only doing these video's so he can be payed lots of money. Theres a good reason no one else does what he does because its not philanthropy. As long as he gets those HIGH veiws, he won't change
@@DafyddBrooks You're overlooking the fact that MrBeast's videos are incredibly entertaining and require a lot of resources to produce. By making more money, he's able to re-invest production. This ultimately leads to better content for his fans to enjoy. He doesn't even own a house, he's literally just focused on making better and better videos. He benefits from the views and attention that his charitable actions bring, which doesn't mean he doesn't genuinely want to help people. He has given away millions of dollars to various charities and individuals in need and has used his platform to raise awareness for important causes. This is a significant contribution to society, and dismissing it as simply a ploy for views is an absolutely insane takeaway for you to have. There's nothing wrong with making money from creating content. MrBeast has worked hard to build an incredibly successful brand and has invested his money back into his content to make it even better for his fans. This is a common practice in the entertainment industry and it doesn't make someone a phony.
I don't understand your obsession with ONE rich guy who truly has a good heart, rather than the other problems you guys like to complain about all the time.
This is a solid video looking forward to seeing it blow up
Yes attention is the real currency and MrBeast hacked that algorithm way early. Now he has that superpower that literally every other creator wants, RUclips itself has its algorithm made for this and the entire social media machinary runs on our attention. So singling out mr beast is unfair.
But, on the contrary, look at how he has chosen to use his superpower. He is literally helping people. He is exploiting this attention economy to HELP PEOPLE!! People are getting help. The scale at which he is doing things are becoming a possibility because of his seemingly attention grabbing stunts dude!
That’s the thing , he uses his power to help and grow himself which allows him to help more. In the early days he used to give 5,000 to 10,000 and now because of his growth he is able to give much more
Facts
@@saahilsuresh6144 thats what he wants you to belive.
@@smoke-tt1srI don't think that's necessarily true. MrBeast is very transparent about his charity work and how he uses his platform to help others. It's not just about growing his own brand or making money - he's genuinely trying to make a positive impact on the world. And even if there is some element of self-promotion involved, it doesn't negate the fact that he's doing good and helping people. So I think it's important to give credit where credit is due and not be too quick to dismiss someone's actions as just self-serving.
Wrong, giving people money isn't helping them or teaching them anything at all, how do we know they even will invest their money most of them don't lol don't be such a fool
Very well made video. But, I have no idea why he receives any more hate than the average celebrity, or literally anyone who works in Hollywood or RUclips for entertainment. This video portrayed giving entertaining videos to people as a bad thing. If MrBeast was never a thing, or any RUclipsr for that matter, would people suddenly go out and spend their attention on productive things? Would they read a book? Obviously not. People really be hating on others success just because. No hate to you, but why are you making this vid? Probably for attention… New sub btw, awesome channel.
part of the thesis here is that Beast's videos are not actually entertaining. they're just empty calories that are optimized to get views and get attention
mrbeast doesnt receive hardly ANY hate, i see people talking about people hating on mrbeast all the time but NEVER have i seen anyone actuall hating mrbeast, and yes im on twitter
"...would people suddenly go out and spend their attention of productive things?"
You use the term "productive things," as if you've never heard of the term critic before. Or, someone being critical of someone else.
FYI there's a lot of people (film, restaurant, business, products, etc, etc...) that make their living off of being critical of others. It's not hating. Being critical can not only earn someone a living, it can make the entity they're being critical of be all the more better.
Sometimes, so called "hate" is just logical business sense.
most baseless arguement thats been made before and u took right out of some other video and said it here. no ppl wont read a book if mr beast didnt exist but atleast there woudlnt be someone who is hyper obsessed with pushing videos that promote this obssesion with money and ppl wouldnt be giving away their attention spans to a baseless video devoid of any meaning. and entertaining videos are not a bad thing but getting that entertainment value and content out of a homeless guy after throwing money at him is really un cool and using them for views. and if what mr beast is right now is percieved as sucess i would run as far as i can in the opp direction, the guy wakes up and sleeps thinking only and only abt growing his brand and attention spans and video retention and ideas he says it himself in a podcast, he has no life, he spends 15 hours a day working on those videos and is obssesd with yt and money jesus christ no thanks, just cause someone is calling out someone else it doesnt mean theyre jealous, it could just mean that the person getting called out might just be wrong aswell but oh well no one dare comment on mr beast bruhh
Value isn't just down to the quality of the content production. Ideas can be valuable too, and the idea of counting to a stupidly high number, or of reading the dictionary is evidently valuable to a lot of people. The 'no way he did that' phase is valuable enough to get the audience to click on the video. How moronic we would be to assume to know what value is universally. Value is subjective, and therefore the statement that a piece of content is valueless or devoid of value is universally void.
Then define "value" objectively. Mr Beast doesn't do anything to fix problems. Giving a homeless man $10,000 won't get him an address to get him a job or an education to get him skills, or insurance for health problems, you know what that gives him? A comfortable street life for about a fucking year and this guy makes millions off that video? You call that value, or clout?
Coming here from Twitter. Glad I found you; subscribed
Kinda might have projected all the basement dwelling insecurities here bud.
I never clicked any video of his but his videos keep popping up on my recommendation page
Never trusted him.
But you spent 100 hours watching him... and all you got was .... making a video that you want to go viral too! Also, does that mean that binge-watching Netflix is also not giving people anything in return so its "bad" ? Why do you get to judge what others do for entertainment ?
This is the first Mr. Beast video I've ever seen.
Incredible analysis. Thanks for sharing.
My opinion, this RUclips is sour grapes nonsense
Smaller RUclipsrs want to find something wrong with Mr. Beast sooooo bad . .
this did not age well haha

If i fart backwards will i get views?
Yes. Absolutely
@@be_my_clementine Damn need to start training that skill then
Trying too hard. People watch because he’s outrageous and there’s usually money involved. No need to get all complicated about it.
All he needs is attention and he is willing to spend 💲💲.
Ofcourse he has equally greedy (mostly) fanbase just hoping to get some 💰 one day luckily.
Atleast let's stop treating him like a demigod or something. He is just investing some money and getting paid back in terms of views.
If it is not for the views he wouldn't have been that generous with his donations and other philanthropy.
Doesn't all this cash come from Google? Isn't he basically an ambassador for Google?
It’s really not that deep dude 💀

@JustDummyBoi it's an analogy
Great video
I get you.
Too bad this video will get invaded by 12 years old very soon
Ah yes, a man who changed the world and built a philanthropic empire, and makes money by helping people, then using that money to help people is obviously a terrible person.
He has not "changed the world" at all.
CHANGED THE WORLD LMFAO
Are you even old enough to have seen change in the world bwahaha
@@Cotif11 He took trash out the ocean, planted millions of trees, and has changed thousands of people lives for the better. That ain’t changing the world huh.
Sounds like this video maker is a little envious/jealous of Mr Beast. You could apply his logic to all social media platforms. They are all about attention seeking and getting the most views. At least Mr Beast is helping people with the money he gives away. I don’t see anyone else her doing that.
You'd be amazed how much money people give away when the cameras aren't running.
you're seeing a guy who is PUBLICIZING their charity. He'll do it if he gets something out of it. Reflect more about the people who don't need to publicize their charity.
At least when we help people, we don’t record it with 4 camera and compile it in an awfully made video produced for no other reason than views
@@hypersphereThe sentiment of wanting to acknowledge and appreciate people who do good deeds without seeking public recognition is great, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss or criticize those who do publicize their charitable actions. MrBeast uses his platform to promote and encourage giving, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Just because he benefits from the exposure doesn't negate the fact that he is doing good and helping people in need. It's not fair to belittle or invalidate his efforts by saying he's only doing it for selfish reasons. Instead, we should appreciate and support those who use their platform for good, regardless of their motivations or whether they choose to publicize their actions or not.
"aT LeaST mR bEasT iS hELPing pPL" 🤡🤡🤡
Ur next up bro
Just watched your TikTok! Great breakdown of something I had never considered
Mr. Beast use a very Capitalistic point of view, this is very American and western point of view, specially American, similar to Bill Gates giving money away. I've only seen 3 videos of Mr. Beast and is not appealing to me.
Capitalism, as an economic system, has many benefits and has played a significant role in the development of modern society. MrBeast's charitable acts and his use of capitalism to further his philanthropic efforts are commendable. There's nothing wrong with using capitalism as a tool to help others and make a positive impact. In fact, I would argue that this is a great way to promote positive change in society. Also just because MrBeast's content may not appeal to you personally, it doesn't diminish the positive impact he has had on the world.
cool video
Interesting essay, but it seems funny to focus on one dude when you're literally doing the same thing, and so is every other RUclipsr out there. It's a business. Why does news media generally have negative news? Because, clicks.
Because Mr Beast has built a persona around fake charity for clout and views. That's the problem. He's dishonest.
Staged false charity is the worst of the worst. The type of content this kicked off is something we are still paying the price for.
I avoid Mr. Beast's content because it's like junk food for the mind.
So is a solid 75% of all entertainment. MrBeast is making "junk food" content in the absolute best way possible by using charity AND inspiring the younger generation to help others, if you don't believe me then just look at how much the creator space has followed suit with charity-centered content already.
The sad part is that he's kind of right.
I completely disagree with everything that was said here.
First of all, the idea that MrBeast is only using charity as a means to go viral and make more money is just ridiculous. Sure, he might get more views and subscribers from doing these videos, but that's not the only reason he does them. MrBeast genuinely cares about helping people and making a positive impact in the world, and he's using his platform to do that in a big way.
And even if he is getting more money from going viral, what's wrong with that? He's still giving away millions of dollars to people who need it, and that's what really matters. If he can use his fame to raise more money and help more people, then I don't see why that's a bad thing.
Plus, the argument that he's just doing it for attention is completely invalid. MrBeast could easily just make videos about himself and his own life and still get a ton of views and subscribers. But instead, he's using his platform to help others and make a difference in the world. That's something to be admired, not criticized.
I think this video completely misses the point of what Mr. Beast is trying to do. He's not just trying to go viral or make more money - he's using his fame for good and making a real impact in people's lives. And that's something that should be celebrated, not criticized.
Your editing is fantastic though :)
Isn't it a good thing that he is going viral?
that's exactly what i see. the author of this video has an extreme bias of wanting to go viral being worse than wanting to murder somebody, it's actually insane. besides, he can't keep doing charity work UNLESS he makes viral hits.
also, he's being a hypocrite. is he gonna really say that making and publishing this video was not put up out here for us to keep attention to this guy? creators are all in the same boat. this video also just happens to release with immaculate timing when everybody has a hate boner for mr beast right now. Wow, somebody wants attention.
@@plrusek ruclips.net/video/nMxlpdDmdhM/видео.html
He gives off real, serious, creep vibes. Trust your instincts. If your kids are watching him, stop them.
Came from tik tok, this is a solid analysis! I always had a lil eerie feeling about mr beast but couldn’t quite put my finger on it, this explains it perfectly!
Extremely good video (and Ty for showing my NYT article!)
Amazing video, 900 views only, this shows exactly what our society become.
It had 400 4 hours ago
I think it's unfair to judge a video solely based on its views. Just because a video has a low number of views doesn't mean it's not valuable or insightful. It could just mean that the video hasn't been promoted or shared as much as it could be. Plus, I don't think we should generalize the entire society based on the views of one video. There are many factors that can influence the popularity of a video, and it's not always a reflection of society as a whole.
Pretty terrible take imo.
1. There is a fairly huge difference between his early "attention grabbing cause he counted to a big number" videos and the stuff he has put out over the last couple years, yet you conflate the two completely.
2. You state that his current videos have no entertainment value and people only watch them because they are designed to keep people's attention. Entertainment value is subjective. Millions of people find his content entertaining. It is fine if you do not, but you can't simply state that your opinion is fact.
3. You don't actually address how he's giving away money. Like, he paid for 1,000 people to get eye surgery they couldn't otherwise afford. While it is fucking horrible the US healthcare system is so fucked that that many people need this, it is still objectively a good thing he did it. And yes, he did it to get views, but that isn't mutually exclusive with it also being a good thing to do for people.
4. There is a shit ton of other media out there now, and there has been a shit ton before Mr. Beast, that is far more exploitative, bereft of value, dumb, etc., etc. Mr. Beast isn't a pioneer of doing dumb shit for views by any means.
Nice job trying to leverage Mr. Beast to get views yourself though dude.
This will definitely blow up with the algorithm
hater
I think he used his unfair advantage to leverage attention and end up succeeding in life.
Everyone has different advantages in life, and it's not fair to discredit someone's hard work and dedication just because they may have had a head start. Additionally, MrBeast has used his success and platform to do a lot of good in the world, which is commendable. Instead of focusing on his advantages.
@@WolvePlex yeah I understand what you mean, I am trying to say that we should also work with our strengths and find a way to achieve success and give value
