I heard somewhere that Mr. Beast is miserable trying to keep up his brand. I hope that’s true
The interview I saw about him was more like he doesn’t feel any emotions outside of making money. Like he gets bored or twitchy if he’s not doing something connected to making videos or generating revenue.
Inhuman, soulless husk. Meat puppet generated by capital to do its bidding. Marx was correct when he said the bourgeoisie are more of slaves to capital than the workers are. People like Mr. Beast are barely even conscious entities anymore.

Nothing quite like sitting on a porch with someone talking until 2 AM, or getting together at a cabin with your close friends and playing games for a straight weekend.

honestly i think mr. beast is the kind of guy who doesn’t really know what misery and joy are. you know, the kind of guy who would be working voluntary overtime in like a warehouse or something if he were born poor because he just doesn’t know what to do with his time if he isn’t just increasing the number in his bank account. the kind of guy who has a girlfriend because guys are supposed to have girlfriends. everything is an obligation/responsibility
when i made that connection it made a lot of sense to me. ive met guys like that in warehouses before. they’ll literally be working like 90 hour weeks across multiple jobs but driving to work every day (in the deep south summer) with broken AC in their car because the car still works and they just don’t care. they’ll be hoarding money like a dragon and never spending any of it, because society tells them acquiring money is how you win and they figure that if nothing brings them joy they might as well win.
the kind of guy who has a girlfriend because guys are supposed to have girlfriends. everything is an obligation/responsibility
According to an interview with him, he literally sees his time with his girlfriend as transactional, that he considers every hour spent with her as being an hour he’s lost money because he’s not making content
It’s honestly astounding to me the level of shit some people will put up with. That poor woman.
i mean she’s got a rich boyfriend who has like less than no expectations of her, she might have a real boyfriend on the side and just goes out with mrbeast every now and again for free food and/or gifts
sounds like a good deal to me, i’d do it
Or maybe she actually loves him but will probably never get that same affection back?
well i guess, but that just seems really unlikely to me because how could you even form enough of a connection with such a cynical husk to feel that way? guy barely makes time to go on a date with his girlfriend and he’s anxious about it the entire time, i can’t imagine he was much better about making time for people who weren’t even his girlfriend yet
My main point is that humans are weird and it’s kinda shitty to assume she’s some kind of gold digger or something. Maybe she actually likes the guy? Ultimately we don’t know their dynamic.

are these guys vulnerable to gold diggers? asking for a friend
There’s the misers who want to die with the biggest number, the alienated who amass money because grifters told them that’s how you earn respect and friendship (but who cannot legitimately befriend anything), and the grifters. Probably have some shot with the last two
the fact that mr beast specifically is miserable and hates himself is one of the few silver linings in this world
Death to America
He’s like a singular human embodiment of modern capitalism. He doesn’t even have the motivation of profit, he has apparently operated near, below, or at cost for a long time. A modern Mr Beast video costs something like $1m to produce apparently. It’s literally just growth for growth sake and nothing else. Absolutely demonic, no way he knows what happiness is.
Yeah but now he has merchandise… So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It’s bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.
oh yeah, i don’t mean to give the impression i think he’s not personally wealthy or not personally implicated in human rights violations. obviously he’s both those things. i’m more just getting at that he doesn’t even seem to care about enjoying it, he’s just the high priest of the god of the Youtube algo
It took me a couple of years but I managed to curate my yt feed to only show me stuff I will actually watch and yet I’m still one misclick away from getting Little Ben Shapiro and PragerU shoved down my throat.
I use newpipe so I don’t get recommendations. My recommendations typically come from other people.
Just turn off watch history (turns off recommendations and the home page) and use the subscription feed exclusively. Suggested videos will only appear based on your currently watched video, so completely unpersonalized
This is what I’ve done for ages and it works like a charm (although unfortunately search is still terrible, no saving that mess). Well, I only got around to disabling watch history in the last year or so, but I’ve been going directly to the sub feed for almost as long as YouTube has existed. I think the only time I actually used the front page was in the very early days of YouTube when it was actually a little community and you’d have featured videos and stuff, but that was like 15 years ago.

Sadly this would probably get a bunch of views. Just make it a nerf blaster or something as like the cherry on top click bait.
literal ghoulish depictions of the image of man dreamed up by the soulless
i hate thumbnails. i hate search engine optimization. i hate algorithms. i miss feeling like people on the internet were ever at all genuine
We’re genuine 😁
Those dead fucking smiles
My will stipulates that I be buried with a Mr. Beast mask so I can look dead on the inside as well as the outside.
Imagine its the zombie apocalypse and youre getting chased by someone with a mr beast mask. 😱
Somehow the DJ Scooter rave mix of Supertramp’s Logical Song is playing in the background
There is a special corner of my heart that is reserved solely for how much I hate those FGTV motherfuckers. It’s just a couple of rich assholes spoiling their kids with every fucking treat on the planet.
Giant acres of empty lawn owned by 20 year olds while some poor guy has to rely on a youtuber for food lol
Surprising Family at 3 AM with a CLAW HAMMER!
it’s depressing that we have to live amongst people who will click on all these videos
We had a family live with us for a few months one summer and YouTube did all of the parenting for hours on end everyday for kids 8-15
AI looking mfs, count the teeth
no, see, here’s the thing… how does every single one of these look WORSE than the slop Dall-E spits out??? why don’t they just have the ai make the thumbnails instead of this???
it looks worse in the sense that it’s an obvious photoshop where the subject was badly composited into the scene. AI might not have that same issue but would look worse in so many other ways like generating weird blobby nonsense
AI also probably won’t do a good job at making someone’s exact face unless you train a model on lots pictures of the person which takes time, effort and knowledge of how AI works. it would actually be a lot more difficult to get a passable AI result than just slapping a picture of your stupid face on a background image
There’s IPadapter for SD models which only requires a single photo at runtime, though I don’t know exactly how strong its adherence is. There’s also training a LORA which would only require a few images and take maybe a day at the most, which would be an easy investment of time and resources for someone who wants to churn out tons of images with that one face on them. And of course there’s the simplest method of all: just crudely pasting the desired face into the image and then sending it for a low denoise img2img pass to make the inscrutable machine integrate it into the image better.
That level of extremely basic and rudimentary technical knowledge is probably beyond the influencers themselves, but certainly not beyond whatever flunky they pay to maintain their brand like that, at which point it’s probably self-preservation and not wanting to create an automated process that can replace themselves that stops them from using that approach.
I think the almighty algorithm has decided that videos with some kind of reaction face in the thumbnail are to be prioritized
A significant number of YouTube users are children who are tricked by pareidolia into clicking on this slop
Thank goodness I’ve finely honed my yourube algo to show me shit I like so I don’t get these faces from the gate to hell
This is the most
I’ve ever felt while looking at an image so far in my lifeI think it’s notable that Mr Beast has switched away from the open mouth smile in favor of the closed mouth smile and the others haven’t caught up yet
I definitely find the closed mouth less annoying (still sucks, just less) and I know Mr Beast tests shit like that to an extreme degree so it probably gets more views
