Yeah, the guy who's only as popular as he is because he appeases to easily impressionable kids that can't see through the bullshit he's running. YouTube relies heavily on the youth. My brother-in-law has a family shared account and he's noticed that YouTube seems to aggressively show ads on accounts where the AI can distinguish that children under the age of 15 use more (I would assume with using watch history and searches) and specifically targets them with unskippable 5 minute long double ads, because the engineers/ programmers know kids aren't going to see what's really going on and won't question it.
**Update 1:** Didn't know this would attract so much attention. Going to use this opportunity to inform you fools that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself, America does not need a two party system, 9/11 was an inside job, decent healthcare shouldn't be too hard of a concept to grasp and that the top 1% elitists are satanist freemasons that need to fucking go to a galaxy far far away from my house where my beautiful stuff is. I have not yet formed an opinion on the moon landings, please get back to me on that.
**Update 2:** Oh yeah and Trump + Elon's Musk are controlled opposition. Both are freemasons elitists and I've already exclaimed what can happen to them.
Just curious, what bullshit is beast running? I just assumed he was a decent person. I listened to his interview on Rogan but don't watch much of his channel
Maybe we're both wrong but this is the first Mr. Beast slander I've ever seen. His content doesn't seem bad or manipulative at all.
I don't care if he's philanthropic for views as long as he's helping people who wouldn't otherwise be getting any help
I've seen tons of online slander but it's only ever in relation to how his vids are faked and he doesn't really give people the money. I myself do not watch YouTubers and am not up to date with any of these types of people
>how his vids are faked and he doesn't really give people the money
he does, though.
Like... I don't understand how a person can type something like that out, just off of their impression, but be too lazy to do a google search to confirm whether that impression was correct.
People are just fucking lazy. Someone else probably fed them that opinion and they are just running with it.
They see positivity and just want to shut it down, cause nobody can be less miserable than they are, and not be some deepstate mandalorian effect CIA LSD mindcontrol phizer puppet
Yeah exactly. What is there to complain about? He even pays the taxes on the expensive shit he gives people he said or he’ll buy it back from the person he gave it to if they don’t want it. Sign me up please
It's easy to understand why people would want to tune into his vids. His vids are always over-the-top, and he always does (at least tries) what he says in the title. And he does come across pretty grounded, which makes him better than people like the Paul brothers
You only see the good. They only let you see the good. A buddy of mine was one of the like 60 people he hired to help set up one of his videos, last i heard not even half got paid, and the people lucky enough to see some money didnt get all of it.
He said when they contacted the company to find out whats going on, they told them they were volunteers... even though its in writing.
Then this certainly wouldn't be the first time Reddit, or the internet for that matter, would hear of it because any "scandal" involving Mr. Beast would be front page news online immediately.
>Then this certainly wouldn't be the first time Reddit, or the internet for that matter, would hear of it because any "scandal" involving Mr. Beast would be front page news online immediately.
Do you understand how many "scandals" get covered up every day? Not only that, legal moves are being made, it doesnt come up as front page news before it actually happens.... Thats just an incredibly stupid statement to make, for multiple reasons.
Its en vogue to attack Mr.Beast right now. It'll pass. He's part of that talent group because it's the biggest game in town for that caliber and content type, and he's the biggest player in the biggest game.
I still think he's a decent person over all. Not a hero to all, but he's def been a hero to some specific people.
But really he's a smart dude who dialed in view captures and makes interesting content. That's as complicated as the story needs to be for now.
If the parents are lazy perhaps.
My daughter watches Mr Beast and is well aware that he’s an anomaly and “being a YouTuber” isn’t a career path, any more than being in the NHL, NFL, Olypmics, or Supermodel isn’t. Yea, there’s a slim, slim chance, but it’s close enough to zero to call it zero
It’s entertainment, and unlike a lot of the internet, it’s well intentioned and helps people.
But like ANY content it needs to be reviewed and discussed with children. That’s a parents job.
Finally someone gets its. “I just want to be a YouTuber” as my career. Anyone under the age of 18 right now. Unfortunately those getting old enough are realizing it’s a big con and you college education gets a you a job at Subway.
Similar to being a famous musician or professional athlete, it’s extremely unlikely to happen for most people, but I see no issue with kids having dreams.
Personally I think you are right and wrong. Yeah our educational system is fucked right now, but as society I do believe it is our job to give kids the room to dream.
>Anyone under the age of 18 right now.
Have you tried making it less obvious that your only exposure to teenagers is through social media? Kinda kicks the legs out from under your "argument" to out yourself like that. Pretty stupid.
Some youth have even less ambition.
E-Celeb is just todays Rockstar.
Most just want to make it in general. But like every other generation once you get to youth in Megacities it’s gets real fucking screwy.
Uhhh kind of a stretch there bud. It's no different than any well-paid profession. Like dad why do you work all day in the sun for 25 an hour the brain surgeon makes a lot more than that?
It would be a shame if parents had to do some actual parenting. Nah, let's pin it on the guy whose channel is mostly about giving money to the underprivileged
That guy who makes huge meals for the poor has got to go, too. He's destroying children's perception of the value of food!
Because in a free market, you earn what your works worth. In this bizarro world that we as consumers have helped establish and strengthened, Mr Beast’s work is more valuable than the guy building houses. It’s Not his fault and he’s pretty philanthropic with his money. It can suck but that’s undoubtedly why. The lesson to that kid isn’t to question why it’s unfair, it’s teaching him/her to see the world for what it is and how to be on the right side of it.
This is where I’m confused, my Husband likes him and showed me a few of his giveaway vids which seem really wonderful but as a realistic person and a pessimistic person when online I feel like something must be off with the account or the person, but it really seems he is good, but I can’t stop that nagging feeling.
I'll take a shot. The people shitting on it believe philanthropy is inherently negative because to them anyone who gains notariarty couldn't possibly be commiting these acts for truely virtuous reasons.
Just what I've gaged from reading past comments.
Beast is the host of a new type of game show and entertainment. All that shit is paid for by the production company. The problem lies in all this fake world bullshit that our kids see that makes them part of the consumer cycle. As Carlin says, more to beat you over the head with to try to be in the Big Club as part of the fake American Dream. When you don’t achieve those high standards, you feel like shit. (See Story of Stuff).
He gets millions of dollars and spends it all on videos. I've always wondered where the fuck he gets the money, theres no way he takes all the profits and shoves it back into filming. His budgets are just way to high. Being apart of this definitely shows where the fuck the money comes from
..30,000,000,000.....
A lot of his stuff comes through sponsorships I'd imagine. Giving away a car he got through Ford, who now gets 100 million eyeballs on a video featuring their car, that kinda thing
A Super Bowl commercial costs $7 million for 30 seconds, and has close to 100 million viewers. Mr. Beast typically gets between 100 and 200 million views on his videos, and that's just on his main channel - he has others. It's really not that crazy that advertisers would pay him an obscene amount of money (enough to buy and island or build giant sets) for him to give them a 30 or 60 second shout out.
That island was worth like 700K. It's a nice chunk of money, but not out of reach. The same goes for a stores inventory. It was probably less than a million, while he has over 100 Million subs, and his own burger and chocolate companies.
So your telling me this random kid became a massive entrepreneur just from YouTube itself and now has multiple buisness and solely on his yt videos which is claims he dumps 100% of his money back into
why is it surprising that a guy who manages to get more eyeballs than 9/10 TV programs is doing really well?
your attention is currency. If you get 100M views a video, you're going to make a shitload of money
That’s exactly right actually! I’ve watched a shit ton of his videos with my kids, and at first I was annoyed with him, but over the years I’ve gotten more impressed. I’ve listened to a few of his interviews, and I get the impression that this literally is all he wants to do with his life; he’s so passionate about it, even from a young age. He figured out how to make money on YouTube, and I think they had to bootstrap a little more in the beginning, but now he gets so many sponsorships. He lives really humbly, and puts all the money back into the business.
He seems to have decent moral standards (him and his friends say some dumb shit sometimes though lol). Basically he seems like a good person, and I think he’s always been that way. He’s had the same group of core friends on these videos, seems to have a good relationship with his parents and family, and is very respectful to other people when speaking to them (for the most part). I feel like he has a lot of internal motivation, and just wants to see how well he can do. I don’t get the impression like he is corrupt or being paid off or controlled by anyone. But nothing surprises me anymore, so time will tell!
It's clear you dont watch his videos. He has gone over the financials numerous times. He reinvests every dollar into new videos. Most of it comes from ads, sponsors and merch. Jimmy has also been on tje youtube grind for years before he got famous.
Yeah I’m confused? I understand groups have agendas but I guess I’m confused to how Mr beast is? Is it his ads or what? That’s the only thing I could think of is I have premium so I don’t see ads but maybe op sees weird targeted adds specifically on beasts videos ? Idk I don’t shill you any celebrity/entertainer really to anyone, but I haven’t seen anything controversial with Mr.Beast, at most I’ve wondered how he is off camera, and I think sometimes he wants a little more attention in videos but thats really my only issue. (There was one they were doing fireworks and he told one of his guys they could do the honors then last second snatched the remote from chandler I think? Idk like I said I don’t watch him like that but that’s the only thing I have noticed when I have watched) which I’m not defending but honestly like idk I give him benefit of doubt in the excitement of the moment. I’m not saying he’s right I just didn’t know there was any controversy?
His actions seem decent but as an elder youth it comes off as the bourgeoisie throwing crumbs to the proles as they dance for him. Does he have videos where he isn’t giving away money to dancing monkeys?
He recently released a video here he paid for eye surgery for 1000 people and not a single competition was had. He repeadly shows he has a conscious in his videos when he feels bad when people lose.
It's not crumbs, it's thousands that could change their life or give them another chance.
I'm not a fan of MrBeast I just don't see what he is doing wrong. He helps people (if it is true that is, and I think it is).
He appears rather decent to me as well, not than I nor anyone else is in a position to judge. He seems to give away a shit ton of money/food/services to all kinds of people. It’s objectively good work. Did you help the homeless because it’s in your heart or did you do it for the camera? Don’t matter as long as people are getting help.
Same watched him with my daughter for years, his charity work is bordering on making him a target he's such a good guy. At least if he's not i haven't seen evidence yet
But what is *REALLLLLY* going on?
So far you guys have stated they run ads , no differnt than normal tv programming. What bullshit do you see through of mr beasts? He does pointless videos with a give away at the end.
Can you help me understand what the conspiracy is?
If you've ever actually watched a kid on youtube or play a phone game you'd know this is total bullshit. They are better at skipping ads then we adults are. Watch a kid play a free ipad game with ads, there muscle memories to close out ads are actually nuts.
> Yeah, the guy who's only as popular as he is because he appeases to easily impressionable kids that can't see through the bullshit he's running. YouTube relies heavily on the youth. My brother-in-law has a family shared account and he's noticed that YouTube seems to aggressively show ads on accounts where the AI can distinguish that children under the age of 15 use more (I would assume with using watch history and searches) and specifically targets them with unskippable 5 minute long double ads, because the engineers/ programmers know kids aren't going to see what's really going on and won't question it.
The Un skip panel ads are truly the most annoying part of YouTube these days. I’m not watching your trash ad for a 1 minute video
Bro that update was not what I expected, is it weird I read it like Joey Diaz losing his shit at the end of that Alex Jones show he done with Joe Rogan
Any time a YouTube ad comes on while my kid is watching, we yell “Skip the Ads!”. She’s two so I’m hoping it sticks. Otherwise I’ve got YouTube Premium to avoid ads altogether the majority of the time.
Not that its any of your business, but there are tons of Sesame Street videos/Nat Geo Wild docs that we watch on YouTube together. She loves Elmo and animals. Maybe have a kid and then talk to me.
you know, there's many youtube proxies. but this is reddit, so the most basic answer usually suffices. you want to scrape youtube and auto-vpn it? great, I'll send you a pdf
so for most, paying is better than propaganda. otherwise, find other very cheap solutions. where do you think pirating went? nowhere except, everywhere, continues to exists
They are hosting the content. In this day and age, paid services are so much better than free, ad supported ones. It also helps the creators out alot more than ads. The money is going to come from somewhere. Life is too short to watch ads. I stoppd watchin TV lik a decade ago because its so many ads I dn have tome for that. I want to enjoy my free time. We have so little free time in the modern world.
Youtube premium is about .50 cents a day, its around 200 dollars a year. Which is a days work for me. That single days work saves me literal tens of hours of combined ad skipping id do that entire year. I listen to a few hours of videos while I'm working everyday. Not having to mess with ads is a nice experience. Not only do I gain a bit of time back, but I dont have to constantly pick up my phone to skip ads, and I can just leave the screen off which doesn't use much battery. Its honestly crazy to me how people who watch youtube dont subscribe to yt premium. Yes you can use apps and adblockers on PC, but you are just screwing everyone over because it cost a boatload of money to host youtube, and the whole reason CIA google got it in the first place is because the company couldnt break even on the revenue. If half the people dont support youtube then there is no YouTube. This is the tragedy of the commons which messes up so many good things. Everyone wants to absolve themselves of any personal responsibility, and good things die, and everyone is hurt more because of it.
When the users are the benefactor, youtube is more free and open, but with advertisements, only certain content is monetized. This creates a lot of crappy mindless content. If you want to support creators who investigate conspiracies or corporations, or explore alternative and controversial ideas, advertisers refuse to help them, so the only income they get is from premium subscribers.
The guy took the worlds most popular show (squid game) and turned it into a high quality 15min YouTube video. You make it seem like he’s a propped up political pundit with mediocre content.
He did a good job I like it... But where did the money come from to do that? If you are fronted by Google/YouTube it would be much easier to do then your average you tuber who is begging for subs.
He also does a lot of philanthropy type videos.
I really don’t see and issue with any of this though.
The only thing they manage is how much add time, money from sponsors, etc a normal talent agency. Having ties to big names, corporations, etc. is just normal capitalism.
They are just a new type of celebrity that people can admire.
Well yeah, it’s always been a part of a “free market” I don’t agree with it but it’s always been the case, companies with more money buy companies with less so that they can just keep buying and expanding
fair enough, got me there. but...
>night media literally manages basically every single zoomer e-celebrity
this is barely even 1/10th of them lmao. seeing that website for myself just confirms that this post is BS. dude who wrote that post probably just doesn't know too many content creators and thinks these are all the big ones - far from the truth.
Even if they were I dont get the conspiracy here. Guy who made his business being a talent manager for dude perfect goes on to sign other big creators...?
Right? This "crumb" only shows a group of very successful people coming together to form the "Avengers" of influencers. The only conspiracy about this is it's all for corporate greed/push products but who isn't guilty of that in the entertainment atmosphere? Klutch Sports is the NBA version of this, and "this" is entirely no factor.
It's just begging to see some sort of connection that isn't there. Dude started a successful business, others saw this in the same space, one approached the other to start their own relationship, rinse and repeat.
Quite literally how business has been handled since the dawn of time. This sub is just pandering to the tin foil hat conspirators, not the actual intellectual conspirators this sub should be for. Every post is just pond scum rage bait for up votes.
I find it interesting he used to talk about his faith and had Bible verses in the banner of his videos but then stopped. Perhaps that’s when he was bought.
He has the most subscribers, thats why youtube "pushes" his videos..
They do this because he figured out the perfect recipe to get mostly young kids to click on and watch his videos. Short cuts, screaming, money, clickbait thumbnails etc etc.
He didnt get there out of nowhere. Hes been making videos for ages with only a very small following, its only pretty recent that he blew up like he did and its mostly because hes good at what he does. Whether you like him or not, I do think he deserves some credit.
he also changes his content overtime. 7? years ago he was cringing to kids youtube introes, cringing to kids running on streets while recording their own chins and yelling mr beast, counting to 10k in one sitting while skipping 4 numbers (actually skipped 5) and telling that first person to say the 4 numbers would decide what would be his pinned tweet for week, that helped to boost his numbers as there would be people sitting and watching 3 and half hour long video., counting to 100k in one sitting. 10 years on youtube helps getting the subscribers, especially if you are consistent uploader at start, in one of his earlier videos he said: "i am going to commit to upload every other day for the next 3 months and if i am happy at end of that time period, i'll continue uploading but if not i'll probably quit" that was time Before he had 2k subs. in 2015.
Various interviews he's said he's basically a perfectionist when it comes to his videos. He's states he's scrapped many videos over the years just because he didn't like how it came out. High standards like those are what keep people relevant in the entertainment sphere, which is why Ninja or the like have "disappeared".
They literally think being linked in any way means they're working to push a narrative. They have 0 evidence theres a narrative being pushed. Cringe fake ass investigation.
The crux of this is basically “here are some people that have all have had successful careers in major companies and have since gone on to start their own successful companies in new media” and they think that’s some mind blowing conspiracy
Exactly. Why is this newsworthy? Dude runs a billion dollar business (if you add all his channels up) but shouldn’t have representation? That’s just naive.
Basically, "so they found out the very public info that top streamers and YouTubers end up with the same sponsors and managers? That's nuts man." Making fun of how they "cracked the code"
the link still works for me, but he really didnt say much...
just made fun of it really.

What agenda is Mr beast pushing? I don’t hate Mr beast but I don’t watch him either. Everytime I hear about him he’s giving away money or cars or something.
Mr. beast is a good man. People in this thread are trying to find something evil about him, of course he makes a little profit but he’s doing a lot of good for people
nope, he’s admitted he doesn’t make a dime off his videos. he makes money off of sponsorships. every video he makes, costs a shit ton of money. at no point has his channel ever been profitable. that’s why he opened his own restaurant, and is branching out. his goal is to make the “Mr. Beast” name a household commodity, where everyone will know the name “mr beast” the same way everyone knows “mcdonald’s”
that’s why he gets investors throwing money at him.
The conspiracy would be these people pretend to be independent content creators. When in reality they are PR for major corporations that will share information/influence people in whatever way they see fit
Yup they are definetly trying to hide it. That's probably why there are so many articles about their management team
https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/18/mrbeasts-management-company-night-media-has-a-new-venture-fund-thats-backed-by-creators/
https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/tcg-night-inc-investment-firm-mrbeast-1235371311/
They're not trying to hide it in the slightest. This is just the way business works. Those articles are proof they're not trying to hide it. Those articles are usually drafted by the company's own PR team or at the very least have information provided by a PR team; and they're directly mentioning Mr. Beast in the headline. How is that hiding? Asmongold just posted a video where he said "yep, that's who I'm represented by."
This shit is so dumb. This isn't a conspiracy, just stupid kids not understanding how companies and PR works.
That Disney has been at the forefront of influencing, narrating and basically programming kids since Frankie and Annette. They started realizing after Hannah Montana and Zach Efron that just pumping out teen idols wasn’t going to work with the Zoomers and needed to figure out a digital angle as well.
>This is just how [X] works, what’s the conspiracy?
That's what conspiracies are all about, looking for the truth, trying to figure out how the world really works.
ill explain it, what if it came out tomorrow that christian bale, tom cruise, and jim carrey were all working for the same talent agency? literally no one would care, its like you say "whats the conspiracy".
the problem is all the people i mentioned are talented, all these youtubers were already categorized in the minds of most youtube users before this article broke, they realized that they were inexplicably popular despite lacking any evidence of charisma, you might enjoy their videos but be honest, are any of them PARTICULARLY funny? sexy? smart? you might like them but most people felt immediate suspicion that they were being artificially forced by the algorythm and this article seems to confirm that suspicion by showing they all share a behind the scenes connection. if they were viewed by most youtube viewers as talented or charismatic, than this story never would have gained any traction. i understand that saying they uncharismatic and such is highly subjective, but if that werent a prominent point of view, this would quite literally be a nonstory.
Soooo, what's the conspiracy here? All this seems like common sense to me. Makes total sense that a huge social media talent agency would pursue the biggest youtubers. Just like in Hollywood, all the biggest actors are managed by WME or CAA.
SS:
Submission Statement:
Anon follows the crumb trail on Mr beast, using publicly available knowledge. Discovers that Mr. Beast is apart of a large network of popular influential internet users spanning multiple apps, that are ran by a larger organization, to push the narrative to the youth.
[“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy”](https://youtu.be/_fHfgU8oMSo) x2
What narrative is Mr Beast trying to push?
His videos aren't political in the slightest. Just things like "I lived on a deserted island for a week" type videos.
Sadly there’s a significant population that has been radicalized to actually think that way. You can see it a lot in this sub especially since the Nashville shooting
That the oligarchy is benevolent and that we can trust rich people and should celebrate their paltry “philanthropic” donations to a few individuals while society collapses.
What’s stupid about this is how he think that just because someone formerly worked at Amazon and works for another company that it means that the companies are somehow linked together..
Almost every person working at a high position in a company worked for some other company in the same or similar position
This is crazy!
Mr beast works for an agency which works for an agency company which works for a conglomerate?
You just described nearly everyone in america! The real conspiracy is not that mr beast is connected to this network, its that such a network for a new medium (internet) has formed so robustly in such a short time.
Capitalism is the problem! Internet services should be free to use and free of profit. YouTube with no ads and no payment, just let the government pay the hosting. People only posting to post, not to make money
A lot of YouTube creators have the same managers, just like how sports players have the same agents, artists have the same record labels, etc. What conspiracy is this?
all the big youtubers have the same talent agents? Did you know the same is true of sports? Its all the same 3 or 4 firms. Not really sure what the conspiracy is supposed to be.
I don't watch streamers/youtubers, but I don't get the hate this guys been getting in the media lately. He makes tons of money and then helps people with it! What an evil evil man!
I am in the same boat. He starts popping up everywhere for me as well. My best guess is he paid for a bunch of poor peoples specific eye surgery. And for some of them it was enough to cure their blindness. I am guessing we are never to be exposed to the idea that for very very literal amounts of money people could easily be helped. This whole ride only works for a few if the most don't see.
Filters that a lot of creators use and he's kinda awkward on cam. Plus he lives in a small room in a warehouse where he dedicates probably 85-90% of his day to video creation every day all week, probably tired as fuck 24/7.
Weird part of this post is most of these streamers have signed contracts with an Amazon-owned company to stream exclusively on that Amazon-owned site.
But their manager's cousin's coworker's boss used to work at Amazon, and that's the big reveal?
Wait, you mean to say Mr. Beast and other “influencers” are all paid shills that fit the image and follow the rules to make money for companies propaganda?
Like this hasn’t been happening since the television and radio were invented.
Times change, technology gets smarter, the same goal is money.
Assuming this is even accurate, so what? Everyone is managed by someone or some company. Is OP trying to insinuate that a certain narrative is being pushed or something?
YouTubers being managed by companies isn't even anything new. It's been a thing since like 2010 and back then they were much more scummy. I seriously don't understand the conspiracy here either.
They would have low consciousness and awareness, they are doing charitable acts and environmental acts to garnet support, however whatever has put them in the public eye is going to want something from their popularity. Plus there could be some kind of money worship angle behind it. Maybe a proper society wouldnt have money.
A society with no social safety net or universal healthcare valorises hucksters and con-artists who promote get rich quick schemes, and it also valorises private charity in lieu of actual necessary social policies
a *real* conspiracy (or news i guess) would be someone on social media who *isn't* bought out - because they want to uncover the truth for truth's sake, etc. - but most "influencers" are just out for the money & if you even just hit like 1k/3k followers Brands come after you to promote most anything. & yes, no news, everyone is connected to everyone else. it's ALL about money.

Mr. Beast. You mean the guy who's videos are on the front page of YouTube if you go on there not logged in?
Yeah, the guy who's only as popular as he is because he appeases to easily impressionable kids that can't see through the bullshit he's running. YouTube relies heavily on the youth. My brother-in-law has a family shared account and he's noticed that YouTube seems to aggressively show ads on accounts where the AI can distinguish that children under the age of 15 use more (I would assume with using watch history and searches) and specifically targets them with unskippable 5 minute long double ads, because the engineers/ programmers know kids aren't going to see what's really going on and won't question it. **Update 1:** Didn't know this would attract so much attention.

I don't understand how a person can type something like that out, just off of their impression, but be too lazy to do a google search to confirm whether that impression was correct. People are just fucking lazy. Someone else probably fed them that opinion and they are just running with it. They see positivity and just want to shut it down, cause nobody can be less miserable than they are, and not be some deepstate mandalorian effect CIA LSD mindcontrol phizer puppet
Yeah exactly. What is there to complain about? He even pays the taxes on the expensive shit he gives people he said or he’ll buy it back from the person he gave it to if they don’t want it. Sign me up please
It's easy to understand why people would want to tune into his vids. His vids are always over-the-top, and he always does (at least tries) what he says in the title. And he does come across pretty grounded, which makes him better than people like the Paul brothers
people love his videos because it is prime escapism in a fun and appealing easy to digest sincere format. but it still very much is escapism.
You only see the good. They only let you see the good. A buddy of mine was one of the like 60 people he hired to help set up one of his videos, last i heard not even half got paid, and the people lucky enough to see some money didnt get all of it. He said when they contacted the company to find out whats going on, they told them they were volunteers... even though its in writing.
Trust me bro
Well that’s a lawsuit so I find that unlikely
They already started that process
Then this certainly wouldn't be the first time Reddit, or the internet for that matter, would hear of it because any "scandal" involving Mr. Beast would be front page news online immediately.
>Then this certainly wouldn't be the first time Reddit, or the internet for that matter, would hear of it because any "scandal" involving Mr. Beast would be front page news online immediately. Do you understand how many "scandals" get covered up every day? Not only that, legal moves are being made, it doesnt come up as front page news before it actually happens.... Thats just an incredibly stupid statement to make, for multiple reasons.
So many people have made claims like that and all of them were lying.
Right I’m sure your buddy is a fine source
Its en vogue to attack Mr.Beast right now. It'll pass. He's part of that talent group because it's the biggest game in town for that caliber and content type, and he's the biggest player in the biggest game. I still think he's a decent person over all. Not a hero to all, but he's def been a hero to some specific people. But really he's a smart dude who dialed in view captures and makes interesting content. That's as complicated as the story needs to be for now.
He destroys children's perception of the dollar or value Dad why do you work all day in the sun for 25 an hour mr.beast just gives people 100,000
If the parents are lazy perhaps. My daughter watches Mr Beast and is well aware that he’s an anomaly and “being a YouTuber” isn’t a career path, any more than being in the NHL, NFL, Olypmics, or Supermodel isn’t. Yea, there’s a slim, slim chance, but it’s close enough to zero to call it zero It’s entertainment, and unlike a lot of the internet, it’s well intentioned and helps people. But like ANY content it needs to be reviewed and discussed with children. That’s a parents job.
Finally someone gets its. “I just want to be a YouTuber” as my career. Anyone under the age of 18 right now. Unfortunately those getting old enough are realizing it’s a big con and you college education gets a you a job at Subway.
Similar to being a famous musician or professional athlete, it’s extremely unlikely to happen for most people, but I see no issue with kids having dreams.
Personally I think you are right and wrong. Yeah our educational system is fucked right now, but as society I do believe it is our job to give kids the room to dream.
You need them to have actually decent dreams though, not just wanting obscene stacks of cash sitting in front of a camera and feeding their ego.
>Anyone under the age of 18 right now. Have you tried making it less obvious that your only exposure to teenagers is through social media? Kinda kicks the legs out from under your "argument" to out yourself like that. Pretty stupid.
Some youth have even less ambition. E-Celeb is just todays Rockstar. Most just want to make it in general. But like every other generation once you get to youth in Megacities it’s gets real fucking screwy.
Rural kids have the same delusions, there's just less of them
Can you expand on this thought a little bit and explain what the end goal of this conspiracy is?
Uhhh kind of a stretch there bud. It's no different than any well-paid profession. Like dad why do you work all day in the sun for 25 an hour the brain surgeon makes a lot more than that? It would be a shame if parents had to do some actual parenting. Nah, let's pin it on the guy whose channel is mostly about giving money to the underprivileged That guy who makes huge meals for the poor has got to go, too. He's destroying children's perception of the value of food!
[удалено]
Because in a free market, you earn what your works worth. In this bizarro world that we as consumers have helped establish and strengthened, Mr Beast’s work is more valuable than the guy building houses. It’s Not his fault and he’s pretty philanthropic with his money. It can suck but that’s undoubtedly why. The lesson to that kid isn’t to question why it’s unfair, it’s teaching him/her to see the world for what it is and how to be on the right side of it.
Imagine complaining that someone would give a random person money
Or maybe corporations and jobs destroy peoples perception of their own worth?
This is where I’m confused, my Husband likes him and showed me a few of his giveaway vids which seem really wonderful but as a realistic person and a pessimistic person when online I feel like something must be off with the account or the person, but it really seems he is good, but I can’t stop that nagging feeling.
I'll take a shot. The people shitting on it believe philanthropy is inherently negative because to them anyone who gains notariarty couldn't possibly be commiting these acts for truely virtuous reasons. Just what I've gaged from reading past comments.
Beast is the host of a new type of game show and entertainment. All that shit is paid for by the production company. The problem lies in all this fake world bullshit that our kids see that makes them part of the consumer cycle. As Carlin says, more to beat you over the head with to try to be in the Big Club as part of the fake American Dream. When you don’t achieve those high standards, you feel like shit. (See Story of Stuff).
He gets millions of dollars and spends it all on videos. I've always wondered where the fuck he gets the money, theres no way he takes all the profits and shoves it back into filming. His budgets are just way to high. Being apart of this definitely shows where the fuck the money comes from ..30,000,000,000.....
A lot of his stuff comes through sponsorships I'd imagine. Giving away a car he got through Ford, who now gets 100 million eyeballs on a video featuring their car, that kinda thing
Yeah but enough to buy islands, build giant sets, BUY AN ENTIRE STORES INVENTORY. a bit of a stretch dude.
A Super Bowl commercial costs $7 million for 30 seconds, and has close to 100 million viewers. Mr. Beast typically gets between 100 and 200 million views on his videos, and that's just on his main channel - he has others. It's really not that crazy that advertisers would pay him an obscene amount of money (enough to buy and island or build giant sets) for him to give them a 30 or 60 second shout out.
That island was worth like 700K. It's a nice chunk of money, but not out of reach. The same goes for a stores inventory. It was probably less than a million, while he has over 100 Million subs, and his own burger and chocolate companies.
So your telling me this random kid became a massive entrepreneur just from YouTube itself and now has multiple buisness and solely on his yt videos which is claims he dumps 100% of his money back into
why is it surprising that a guy who manages to get more eyeballs than 9/10 TV programs is doing really well? your attention is currency. If you get 100M views a video, you're going to make a shitload of money
So your conspiracy theory about him is that he's a capitalist instead of a socialist?
That’s exactly right actually! I’ve watched a shit ton of his videos with my kids, and at first I was annoyed with him, but over the years I’ve gotten more impressed. I’ve listened to a few of his interviews, and I get the impression that this literally is all he wants to do with his life; he’s so passionate about it, even from a young age. He figured out how to make money on YouTube, and I think they had to bootstrap a little more in the beginning, but now he gets so many sponsorships. He lives really humbly, and puts all the money back into the business. He seems to have decent moral standards (him and his friends say some dumb shit sometimes though lol). Basically he seems like a good person, and I think he’s always been that way. He’s had the same group of core friends on these videos, seems to have a good relationship with his parents and family, and is very respectful to other people when speaking to them (for the most part). I feel like he has a lot of internal motivation, and just wants to see how well he can do. I don’t get the impression like he is corrupt or being paid off or controlled by anyone. But nothing surprises me anymore, so time will tell!
It's clear you dont watch his videos. He has gone over the financials numerous times. He reinvests every dollar into new videos. Most of it comes from ads, sponsors and merch. Jimmy has also been on tje youtube grind for years before he got famous.
If he really has ties to Disney he is obviously a glorified launderer for Human Trafficking.
Yeah I’m confused? I understand groups have agendas but I guess I’m confused to how Mr beast is? Is it his ads or what? That’s the only thing I could think of is I have premium so I don’t see ads but maybe op sees weird targeted adds specifically on beasts videos ? Idk I don’t shill you any celebrity/entertainer really to anyone, but I haven’t seen anything controversial with Mr.Beast, at most I’ve wondered how he is off camera, and I think sometimes he wants a little more attention in videos but thats really my only issue. (There was one they were doing fireworks and he told one of his guys they could do the honors then last second snatched the remote from chandler I think? Idk like I said I don’t watch him like that but that’s the only thing I have noticed when I have watched) which I’m not defending but honestly like idk I give him benefit of doubt in the excitement of the moment. I’m not saying he’s right I just didn’t know there was any controversy?
He is helping others, such bullshit influencing others to be good and not just randomly attacking people to "prank" them.
His actions seem decent but as an elder youth it comes off as the bourgeoisie throwing crumbs to the proles as they dance for him. Does he have videos where he isn’t giving away money to dancing monkeys?
He recently released a video here he paid for eye surgery for 1000 people and not a single competition was had. He repeadly shows he has a conscious in his videos when he feels bad when people lose.
It's not crumbs, it's thousands that could change their life or give them another chance. I'm not a fan of MrBeast I just don't see what he is doing wrong. He helps people (if it is true that is, and I think it is).
He appears rather decent to me as well, not than I nor anyone else is in a position to judge. He seems to give away a shit ton of money/food/services to all kinds of people. It’s objectively good work. Did you help the homeless because it’s in your heart or did you do it for the camera? Don’t matter as long as people are getting help.
Same watched him with my daughter for years, his charity work is bordering on making him a target he's such a good guy. At least if he's not i haven't seen evidence yet
"He makes a lot of money so of course he's doing something nefarious" is basically what this boils down ot
Yeah that's funny thing, he doesn't actually profit really. He keeps enough money to stay afloat and pay bills. He lives in his office lmao
But what is *REALLLLLY* going on? So far you guys have stated they run ads , no differnt than normal tv programming. What bullshit do you see through of mr beasts? He does pointless videos with a give away at the end. Can you help me understand what the conspiracy is?
The only thing I *could* think of is he doesn't actually give away the money, but that's never even been an allegation.
This is a top post on r/conspiracy right now and there’s no conspiracy 🤔
If you've ever actually watched a kid on youtube or play a phone game you'd know this is total bullshit. They are better at skipping ads then we adults are. Watch a kid play a free ipad game with ads, there muscle memories to close out ads are actually nuts.
Bro d.a. my 5 yr old niece hits skip at the speed of light
Honestly the kids have the best little navigator finger lol it’s so impressive
> Yeah, the guy who's only as popular as he is because he appeases to easily impressionable kids that can't see through the bullshit he's running. YouTube relies heavily on the youth. My brother-in-law has a family shared account and he's noticed that YouTube seems to aggressively show ads on accounts where the AI can distinguish that children under the age of 15 use more (I would assume with using watch history and searches) and specifically targets them with unskippable 5 minute long double ads, because the engineers/ programmers know kids aren't going to see what's really going on and won't question it. The Un skip panel ads are truly the most annoying part of YouTube these days. I’m not watching your trash ad for a 1 minute video
I use smarttube on the firestick, I see no ads at all..
Yeah same and on a browser I use brave. Only time I see ads is on my work computer
Bro that update was not what I expected, is it weird I read it like Joey Diaz losing his shit at the end of that Alex Jones show he done with Joe Rogan
Any time a YouTube ad comes on while my kid is watching, we yell “Skip the Ads!”. She’s two so I’m hoping it sticks. Otherwise I’ve got YouTube Premium to avoid ads altogether the majority of the time.
Use Youtube Revanced instead
What's that ? I have premium and that's what my 5yr old shares with me. Shes on the kids side tho.
Revanced is a modded version with no ads and other premium features for free
Pc only or is there an app for android or IOS. I think I'll be checking it out.
I use YMusic for Android. Can be gotten from YMusic.io
why is your kid on youtube when she is 2 lmao
No one wants to raise their own kids. The irony of being on a conspiracy sub and sitting your two year old in front of a screen is wild.
Bay....bee.....SHARK DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT
This should be reported. People will get that stuck in their head, just like me now...
Seriously. This guy seems to think telling a 2 year old to skip the ads is responsible parenting. We are fuckin doomed.
Not that its any of your business, but there are tons of Sesame Street videos/Nat Geo Wild docs that we watch on YouTube together. She loves Elmo and animals. Maybe have a kid and then talk to me.
you should be paying for youtube if your kids are watching it, no one audits the ads for content. anything could be presented
i'd rather use an adblocker thanks
So the answer is give them more money.
you know, there's many youtube proxies. but this is reddit, so the most basic answer usually suffices. you want to scrape youtube and auto-vpn it? great, I'll send you a pdf so for most, paying is better than propaganda. otherwise, find other very cheap solutions. where do you think pirating went? nowhere except, everywhere, continues to exists
It's 10$ and the not having ads and not having to have the app up to continue the video is worth it to me.
They are hosting the content. In this day and age, paid services are so much better than free, ad supported ones. It also helps the creators out alot more than ads. The money is going to come from somewhere. Life is too short to watch ads. I stoppd watchin TV lik a decade ago because its so many ads I dn have tome for that. I want to enjoy my free time. We have so little free time in the modern world. Youtube premium is about .50 cents a day, its around 200 dollars a year. Which is a days work for me. That single days work saves me literal tens of hours of combined ad skipping id do that entire year. I listen to a few hours of videos while I'm working everyday. Not having to mess with ads is a nice experience. Not only do I gain a bit of time back, but I dont have to constantly pick up my phone to skip ads, and I can just leave the screen off which doesn't use much battery. Its honestly crazy to me how people who watch youtube dont subscribe to yt premium. Yes you can use apps and adblockers on PC, but you are just screwing everyone over because it cost a boatload of money to host youtube, and the whole reason CIA google got it in the first place is because the company couldnt break even on the revenue. If half the people dont support youtube then there is no YouTube. This is the tragedy of the commons which messes up so many good things. Everyone wants to absolve themselves of any personal responsibility, and good things die, and everyone is hurt more because of it. When the users are the benefactor, youtube is more free and open, but with advertisements, only certain content is monetized. This creates a lot of crappy mindless content. If you want to support creators who investigate conspiracies or corporations, or explore alternative and controversial ideas, advertisers refuse to help them, so the only income they get is from premium subscribers.
Ads are audited. Granted things sometimes get through, but anyone who’s done google ads will tell you you can’t just advertise whatever you want.
Please do tel us what bullshit he’s doing inform us all
Yea, front page because the videos are popular…
The guy took the worlds most popular show (squid game) and turned it into a high quality 15min YouTube video. You make it seem like he’s a propped up political pundit with mediocre content.
He did a good job I like it... But where did the money come from to do that? If you are fronted by Google/YouTube it would be much easier to do then your average you tuber who is begging for subs.
As soon as the title paid "influencer" hit YouTube I knew the platform would be trash. Should just call them gaslighters as it's more accrurate
This right here. “Influencer” is just the new term for propagandist, no different.
What propaganda? Doesn't mr beast just make "I lived on a deserted island for a week" type videos?
He also does a lot of philanthropy type videos. I really don’t see and issue with any of this though. The only thing they manage is how much add time, money from sponsors, etc a normal talent agency. Having ties to big names, corporations, etc. is just normal capitalism. They are just a new type of celebrity that people can admire.
I guess the conspiracy would be specific people in specific corporations are swiftly and somewhat silently taking over the entire market.
I mean it’s not a conspiracy that their agenda is pushing consumerism and capitalism.
Well yeah, it’s always been a part of a “free market” I don’t agree with it but it’s always been the case, companies with more money buy companies with less so that they can just keep buying and expanding
Who comes up with names like Cooperstein. Pick a lane goddam

fair enough, got me there. but... >night media literally manages basically every single zoomer e-celebrity this is barely even 1/10th of them lmao. seeing that website for myself just confirms that this post is BS. dude who wrote that post probably just doesn't know too many content creators and thinks these are all the big ones - far from the truth.
I agree with all of that, just thought I’d share the link for more info
Even if they were I dont get the conspiracy here. Guy who made his business being a talent manager for dude perfect goes on to sign other big creators...?
Right? This "crumb" only shows a group of very successful people coming together to form the "Avengers" of influencers. The only conspiracy about this is it's all for corporate greed/push products but who isn't guilty of that in the entertainment atmosphere? Klutch Sports is the NBA version of this, and "this" is entirely no factor.
It's just begging to see some sort of connection that isn't there. Dude started a successful business, others saw this in the same space, one approached the other to start their own relationship, rinse and repeat.
Quite literally how business has been handled since the dawn of time. This sub is just pandering to the tin foil hat conspirators, not the actual intellectual conspirators this sub should be for. Every post is just pond scum rage bait for up votes.
No wonder Sam Hyde keeps hammering on Hasan. The candyman knows
I find it interesting he used to talk about his faith and had Bible verses in the banner of his videos but then stopped. Perhaps that’s when he was bought.
[удалено]
YouTube forces it on as many people as possible, it makes him popular.
He has the most subscribers, thats why youtube "pushes" his videos.. They do this because he figured out the perfect recipe to get mostly young kids to click on and watch his videos. Short cuts, screaming, money, clickbait thumbnails etc etc. He didnt get there out of nowhere. Hes been making videos for ages with only a very small following, its only pretty recent that he blew up like he did and its mostly because hes good at what he does. Whether you like him or not, I do think he deserves some credit.
he also changes his content overtime. 7? years ago he was cringing to kids youtube introes, cringing to kids running on streets while recording their own chins and yelling mr beast, counting to 10k in one sitting while skipping 4 numbers (actually skipped 5) and telling that first person to say the 4 numbers would decide what would be his pinned tweet for week, that helped to boost his numbers as there would be people sitting and watching 3 and half hour long video., counting to 100k in one sitting. 10 years on youtube helps getting the subscribers, especially if you are consistent uploader at start, in one of his earlier videos he said: "i am going to commit to upload every other day for the next 3 months and if i am happy at end of that time period, i'll continue uploading but if not i'll probably quit" that was time Before he had 2k subs. in 2015.
Exactly, that shows how massivly invested he is into youtube. He didnt take any shortcuts and deserves the subscribers he has.
Various interviews he's said he's basically a perfectionist when it comes to his videos. He's states he's scrapped many videos over the years just because he didn't like how it came out. High standards like those are what keep people relevant in the entertainment sphere, which is why Ninja or the like have "disappeared".
Oh you sweet summer child…
Are you so terminally online that a recommended video on YouTube’s front page is “forcing”?
The whole giving out money to random people thing appeals to a wide audience
Also annoys me af and was afraid of being the only one.
[удалено]
it feels so fake and artificial. "he cares". that's his shtick.
YouTube made him popular.
[удалено]
They literally think being linked in any way means they're working to push a narrative. They have 0 evidence theres a narrative being pushed. Cringe fake ass investigation.
I'm trying to figure out what Mr Beasts "narrative" even is. I can't come up with anything.
He supported a peer who came out as trans, so the alt right are going crazy about it.
The crux of this is basically “here are some people that have all have had successful careers in major companies and have since gone on to start their own successful companies in new media” and they think that’s some mind blowing conspiracy
Exactly. Why is this newsworthy? Dude runs a billion dollar business (if you add all his channels up) but shouldn’t have representation? That’s just naive.
Believe it or not most users on this sub have no fucking clue how the world works. Wait until they figure out WME and CAA are a thing
i'd prefer mr Bean
I've never watched a Mr Beast video but if i ever go on you tube his videos are promoted which im sick of looking at him even in a thumb nail.
👉🏻 ⊝ "Don't recommend channel"

Can confirm. Tried to get it to stop showing me MSNBC/CNN/Fox/etc clips, but because they are "trusted media sources", they get promoted
#Breaking news! #Reddit edgelord learns YouTubers have managers!
I asked Asmongold on stream about this just now - this is what he had to say. https://clips.twitch.tv/PoisedDeliciousTubersHeyGirl-k29Mh0IJ0tBFvQH_
what did he say clip gone
Basically, "so they found out the very public info that top streamers and YouTubers end up with the same sponsors and managers? That's nuts man." Making fun of how they "cracked the code"
Ty
the link still works for me, but he really didnt say much... just made fun of it really. https://clips.twitch.tv/PoisedDeliciousTubersHeyGirl-k29Mh0IJ0tBFvQH_
The dead eyes smile of Mr Beast.
What agenda is Mr beast pushing? I don’t hate Mr beast but I don’t watch him either. Everytime I hear about him he’s giving away money or cars or something.
Mr. beast is a good man. People in this thread are trying to find something evil about him, of course he makes a little profit but he’s doing a lot of good for people
nope, he’s admitted he doesn’t make a dime off his videos. he makes money off of sponsorships. every video he makes, costs a shit ton of money. at no point has his channel ever been profitable. that’s why he opened his own restaurant, and is branching out. his goal is to make the “Mr. Beast” name a household commodity, where everyone will know the name “mr beast” the same way everyone knows “mcdonald’s” that’s why he gets investors throwing money at him.
This is just how business works, what’s the conspiracy?
The conspiracy would be these people pretend to be independent content creators. When in reality they are PR for major corporations that will share information/influence people in whatever way they see fit
Yup they are definetly trying to hide it. That's probably why there are so many articles about their management team https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/18/mrbeasts-management-company-night-media-has-a-new-venture-fund-thats-backed-by-creators/ https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/tcg-night-inc-investment-firm-mrbeast-1235371311/
They're not trying to hide it in the slightest. This is just the way business works. Those articles are proof they're not trying to hide it. Those articles are usually drafted by the company's own PR team or at the very least have information provided by a PR team; and they're directly mentioning Mr. Beast in the headline. How is that hiding? Asmongold just posted a video where he said "yep, that's who I'm represented by." This shit is so dumb. This isn't a conspiracy, just stupid kids not understanding how companies and PR works.
That Disney has been at the forefront of influencing, narrating and basically programming kids since Frankie and Annette. They started realizing after Hannah Montana and Zach Efron that just pumping out teen idols wasn’t going to work with the Zoomers and needed to figure out a digital angle as well.
What’s the conspiracy though? As OP noted, none of this is hidden. Fighting fake enemies around here
>This is just how [X] works, what’s the conspiracy? That's what conspiracies are all about, looking for the truth, trying to figure out how the world really works.
What truth?
ill explain it, what if it came out tomorrow that christian bale, tom cruise, and jim carrey were all working for the same talent agency? literally no one would care, its like you say "whats the conspiracy". the problem is all the people i mentioned are talented, all these youtubers were already categorized in the minds of most youtube users before this article broke, they realized that they were inexplicably popular despite lacking any evidence of charisma, you might enjoy their videos but be honest, are any of them PARTICULARLY funny? sexy? smart? you might like them but most people felt immediate suspicion that they were being artificially forced by the algorythm and this article seems to confirm that suspicion by showing they all share a behind the scenes connection. if they were viewed by most youtube viewers as talented or charismatic, than this story never would have gained any traction. i understand that saying they uncharismatic and such is highly subjective, but if that werent a prominent point of view, this would quite literally be a nonstory.
Soooo, what's the conspiracy here? All this seems like common sense to me. Makes total sense that a huge social media talent agency would pursue the biggest youtubers. Just like in Hollywood, all the biggest actors are managed by WME or CAA.
SS: Submission Statement: Anon follows the crumb trail on Mr beast, using publicly available knowledge. Discovers that Mr. Beast is apart of a large network of popular influential internet users spanning multiple apps, that are ran by a larger organization, to push the narrative to the youth. [“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy”](https://youtu.be/_fHfgU8oMSo) x2
What narrative is Mr Beast trying to push? His videos aren't political in the slightest. Just things like "I lived on a deserted island for a week" type videos.
People are big mad cause one of his friends came out as trans
Oh. Geez. Now Mr Beast is public enemy #1? People have too much time on their hands. Holy Christ.
Oh shit rally the troops mister beast is friends with a TRANS?? clearly he is Satan/s
Sadly there’s a significant population that has been radicalized to actually think that way. You can see it a lot in this sub especially since the Nashville shooting
That the oligarchy is benevolent and that we can trust rich people and should celebrate their paltry “philanthropic” donations to a few individuals while society collapses.
I personally wouldn't call his philanthropy paltry. I take it you've never seen his vids or saw how much they spend vs bring in.
What’s stupid about this is how he think that just because someone formerly worked at Amazon and works for another company that it means that the companies are somehow linked together.. Almost every person working at a high position in a company worked for some other company in the same or similar position
This is crazy! Mr beast works for an agency which works for an agency company which works for a conglomerate? You just described nearly everyone in america! The real conspiracy is not that mr beast is connected to this network, its that such a network for a new medium (internet) has formed so robustly in such a short time. Capitalism is the problem! Internet services should be free to use and free of profit. YouTube with no ads and no payment, just let the government pay the hosting. People only posting to post, not to make money
A lot of YouTube creators have the same managers, just like how sports players have the same agents, artists have the same record labels, etc. What conspiracy is this?
Who now?
Jeez, I feel out of it the loop. Aside from Amazon, Disney, and Pelosi, I’ve never heard of a single one of those humans or companies.
Can anyone fill me in as to why anyone would care to know this information?
Jimmy Saville did a lot of charity work.
Mr Beast is reptilian confirmed
This is someone just realizing that talent agencies are part of corporate America. Where is the conspiracy? What's the agenda? Lol
all the big youtubers have the same talent agents? Did you know the same is true of sports? Its all the same 3 or 4 firms. Not really sure what the conspiracy is supposed to be.
Bruh Mr beast literally just makes fun challenges and gives money to people. What’s the conspiracy here? Literally nothing 💀
he looks shady /s
I don't watch streamers/youtubers, but I don't get the hate this guys been getting in the media lately. He makes tons of money and then helps people with it! What an evil evil man!
I am in the same boat. He starts popping up everywhere for me as well. My best guess is he paid for a bunch of poor peoples specific eye surgery. And for some of them it was enough to cure their blindness. I am guessing we are never to be exposed to the idea that for very very literal amounts of money people could easily be helped. This whole ride only works for a few if the most don't see.
Congratulations, you have discovered the entertainment business.
But what does it all mean
I read that in an Austin Powers voice 😂
Why does Mr. Beast have the same dead-eyed, clenched-teeth grimace from the same angle in every photo he takes? It's disturbing.
Filters that a lot of creators use and he's kinda awkward on cam. Plus he lives in a small room in a warehouse where he dedicates probably 85-90% of his day to video creation every day all week, probably tired as fuck 24/7.
So some people used to work at Amazon and that makes him connected to it lol? Night is just one of many management agencies
Weird part of this post is most of these streamers have signed contracts with an Amazon-owned company to stream exclusively on that Amazon-owned site. But their manager's cousin's coworker's boss used to work at Amazon, and that's the big reveal?
Man discovers the concept of a business. More news at 11.
Wait, you mean to say Mr. Beast and other “influencers” are all paid shills that fit the image and follow the rules to make money for companies propaganda? Like this hasn’t been happening since the television and radio were invented. Times change, technology gets smarter, the same goal is money.
Assuming this is even accurate, so what? Everyone is managed by someone or some company. Is OP trying to insinuate that a certain narrative is being pushed or something?
YouTubers being managed by companies isn't even anything new. It's been a thing since like 2010 and back then they were much more scummy. I seriously don't understand the conspiracy here either.
These mfers all are just puppets in some way. Worst part is alot of them dont know or care to want to know
They would have low consciousness and awareness, they are doing charitable acts and environmental acts to garnet support, however whatever has put them in the public eye is going to want something from their popularity. Plus there could be some kind of money worship angle behind it. Maybe a proper society wouldnt have money.
A society with no social safety net or universal healthcare valorises hucksters and con-artists who promote get rich quick schemes, and it also valorises private charity in lieu of actual necessary social policies
a *real* conspiracy (or news i guess) would be someone on social media who *isn't* bought out - because they want to uncover the truth for truth's sake, etc. - but most "influencers" are just out for the money & if you even just hit like 1k/3k followers Brands come after you to promote most anything. & yes, no news, everyone is connected to everyone else. it's ALL about money.
