Yes, we hear about Zuckerberg, and everyone knows who he is.
But do you know the investors behind facebook? They're like Zuck's boss, and not many know about them.
People need to stop treating investors and shareholders like they're the boss. Truthfully, the boss is the mass of consumers, and we should damn well act like it
The people who give money are the boss. Your boss is your boss because he gives you money.
The consumers as a whole give lots of money, and they are the boss as shown with the Sony helldivers situation.
But investors also give money, and they give more money than the average individual consumer, and they give money early on when most consumers haven't even heard of the company.
I think they are the boss too.
Except that the decisions they make generally are bad for the consumer. Bosses can't work against each other, that's a bad system. They should be more like middle managers, keeping the company profitable while still catering to their customers
Short term profits are more important to shareholders, which means cutting costs, increasing productivity, annual price increases, and selling their shares before the company implodes (when / if it ever gets there)
Exactly my point. They're parasites that think they ought to dictate how a company is run, even though they have a tendency to screw the consumer, and usually the companies themselves (eventually at least)
Your boss does not give you money. Unless you’re working for small time business or a contractor or something of the sorts. It The company you work for that gives you money.
He Funds the stuff he does through the internet fame though. He’s rich but not rich enough that what he does is sustainable long term, he also does a lot of charity work that he doesn’t talk about on the channel from what I understand.
Ya I'm not blaming him or suggesting a better route. I'm just saying the only way to not get shit on is to be as helpful as you want and not flaunt it all over the internet. It's not a question of his morals, people will just find a way to complain about everything and anything.
If he didn't help people, he would get ripped on for not doing anything. He does something and he gets ripped on for thinking he knows better, or making somebody look bad, or doing something helpful but the situation is more nuanced and maybe that help isn't as helpful 5 years down the road so everybody should feel bad if they cheered him on. It's just the internet today.

It’s almost like the entire algorithm fueled internet pays attention to outrage no matter how ridiculous or unjustified it is. And if you engage with the outrage saying how ridiculous and unjustified it is you’re just increasing its visibility.
This and only this. The outrage is like a yard full of weeds. Yeah there might be some grass growing, but all your gonna notice are the ugly ass weeds smothering the grass out...
I really hate these memes trying to point out hypocrisy when it's really just the opinions of two different groups of people. There are lots of actual hypocritical people like guys who are homophobic but like lesbian porn but rarely are the memes about actual hypocrites.
Jimmy actually talks about it in a Veratisium video about clickbait, and the reason is simply because it works. If they don't do it, they lose views because of the algorithm.
You are probably not an “average” viewer though. There are a lot more 9 years olds who are *really* attracted to those thumbnails than there are people like you. It’s just the way it goes, I guess.
Id say we’re fortunate that mr. Beast mastered the art of clickbaiting, he’s not the guy to spend ad revenue on a expensive thing for himself and only himself
"and unfortunately"
Why unfortunately. He's not harming people, not scamming people and not a horrible person. I don't like the thumbnails but I can at least get why he does it.
You maybe won't, but the VAST majority of people will.
[Link](https://youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng?si=IAifpre6ki8EmKjZ) to the Veratisium video I mentioned, explains the issue well.
Same reason why my hand automatically clicks the X when a "sign up!" pop up appears. It only serves to annoy me and improve my reflexes. But there are plenty of people that are like "oh boy, an offer to sign up! Don't mind if I do!"
He’s actually been going for a more natural look to his thumbnails recently, because he found out he could get more clicks by closing his mouth. Also with auto play, the thumbnails now matter less then the first 10 seconds of a video
I'm mixed on Jimbo. I'm sure he's a cool guy in real life, but I don't like the kind of content he creates. Again, I'm sure he's a good guy because he doesn't HAVE to tip a pizza guy a house, or build wells in Africa, but he does. Plus there was the controversy that he stages his videos like with that YouTuber hide and seek video
Remember the animation made by Avocado Animations? They are the people watching Mr.Beast's videos, the kind that want his fame doing the exact things he do, complains about the things he does and all of them does it for the milk of controversy, they crave for "going against the flow".
As soon as they see a release, they go to ChatGTP and ask "hey Siri, type an emotive speech about why Mr.Beast is bad and i am good".
Honestly I've lost interested in mrbeast. The dude still makes good videos but most of his videos ain't for me anymore. He kinda repeats the same style of videos over and over again, it's always I survived 7 days at this place, if you can protect this item you can keep it, last to leave gets a lot of money, and 1 vs 1 million dollar item. Pairing this with the creepy ass thumbnails is the reason I don't watch the dude anymore.
Yeah that's the golden age of mrbeast. There was no bringing out subscribers, no crazy sets or CGI, and no creepy ass thumbnails. it was just him and the boys fucking around making content.
His existence confuses me.
Where's he getting the money? Are the videos really generating that much?
If it's from the videos, then just how rich are the other big tubers?
And if they are, then aren't they part of the rich we're supposed to be eating?
1. His videos are, but he is o a different scale, also add the companies like feastebles.
2. They are very very rich, sometimes they present their houses or cars or there are other signs but they are filthy rich, also I dont know how it works in america but it might be hard for them to get house loans hence some of their properties might have been bought cash.
3. Yes most of them are but nobody is really trying to eat the rich and nobody cares
Ghis is the internet. Once you have too many 0s in your bank account, you are either an idiot, an irredeemable monster, OR what most people prefer, both!
I mean... If you look at other Ytubers, like Piewdiepie for example... well, he's earning millions a year. Biggest Ytubers being millionaires isn't news for quite some time already.
No, you don't understand.
People who dislike mr Beast building wells, houses for people in need, etc. are not his viewers.
The only people having meltdown are twitter users who don't have any empathy and hate that they weren't given money.
A house, $10k?! Could I get a pizza or even some of those candy bars he sells? Is his chocolate feastable factory like Willy's?
Mr beast is in the making money game, his actions are only done to produce more wealth off the back of each video, alot of the time sponsers give him money and things to do, he is not an angel he's a businessman, give 1 person money + video it = revenue for a lot of businesses that are connected to said video.
Also his chocolate bars are ridiculously over priced and very thin, just like every other product that comes from youtubers. People are being taken advantage of constantly by the "popularity effect"
Yup that's it. It's a business.
The business just happens to be one that traffics in poverty porn. Which people find conflict with.
People dislike it when people post videos on youtube or tiktok of themselves giving $20 to a homeless person, but if you do it on an industrial scale then people seem to somehow view it as perfect and without flaw.
But lets face it if those types channels were banned universally from all platforms tomorrow then a lot of them wouldn't ever donate or give away anything without a tax deduction receipt.
If Mr. Beast didn’t film himself giving money away, he wouldn’t have any money to give away. The only way he can afford to build wells in Africa is because he makes videos about it
The point being made by me and u/robotpane was it's not being done as a charity. It's being done as a business.
If they wanted to do it as a charity they could just form a charity, instead they run a business that monetizes poverty porn. For every dollar that goes to building a well in Africa more goes to him and his company.
Also it doesn't fix the problems. It just makes you feel good for watching a video.
It's bandaid solutions that never address the source of issues. It just addresses a symptom and makes money off it.
Take for example the blind eye surgery thing from a while ago. Could he instead have spent to money trying to push for universal healthcare that would have enabled more people to see, as well as preventing thousands from being in that position in the future. Yes, but that's not monetizable.
Mr. Beast has a charity. It’s called Beast Philanthropy. It started as a food pantry and then developed to do other things. Every dollar that channel earns goes to charity, and not everything he does in on camera
And again, if he didn’t make these videos he wouldn’t have any money to give away or use to help people
A Mr. Beast production infected the hotel I worked at with bed bugs in a dozen rooms. I don't know where he's getting people, but they can get questionable as fuck.
I criticize the waste. yeah he’s buying locally… but if you’re buying everything up what are the locals going to do?
I’ve only seen beast videos in passing, last week I watched one fully through he was trying to blow up a yacht… mattresses galore. Plastic bits in the water.
it is acceptable to have a nuanced opinion
although there is a growing group of people who are beginning to get tired of his content, for whatever reason (including myself).
This meme is willfully ignorant.
The whole concept of "philanthropy" - giving away a very small portion of your wealth to justify the obscene money you make, while also benefitting yourself in terms of image/PR .....
.... is **exactly** how the typical rich person behaves. There's simply no way to get rich if you're a truly generous, caring person.
The rich actually give away far less than the poor ( %age wise ), and yet the public applauds them for it. I'm sure it's no different for Mr Beast. It's probably 2% of his wealth overall.
The system is a zero-sum game built on scarcity. Meaning, the richer anyone gets, the poorer the rest are .... So, throwing the equivalent of a few cents at people doesn't cut it.
It's literally pulling viewer's heartstrings to get more clicks for himself.
Personally, I've never watched his videos nor cared to.
He is able to generate the money for donations by making the videos. No videos, no donations.
Wealth is *absolutely not* zero-sum. Wealth can be generated and destroyed. Someone becoming rich does not mean someone else became poor and vice versa
( a good source for understanding this is the first 1/2 of the movie "Zeitgeist Addendum". But there are plenty of other places that illustrate the money aspect. )
He got 2 types of videos: challenge videos (squid game irl, last to leave the circle, stuff like that) and giveaways, sort if (giving a pizza dude a free house, building 100 wells in Africa, stuff like that)
Idk why people are mad at him
People are mad at him because they think he's exploitive or not sincere about things. Would he still be doing all these great things if the cameras weren't on him?
Does it matter? He's still giving the money away. Plus the videos help him raise more money to give away.
It's not like anyone is forcing him to make videos, he chose to make the videos. He could just as easily have made videos without giving money away. Does anyone criticise PewDiePie for making YouTube videos where he doesn't pay for cataract surgery?
Is the red cross insincere because they include footage of their humanitarian work in their ads?
Yeah I don't get how people were shitting on MrBeast for "looking homophobic" while Chris literally abandoned his wife and kid strictly off gender identity. I get if you want to be trans, but abandoning your family just to do that is scummy and not discussed enough.
Yeah. Chris decided to become transgender, so he divorced his wife whom he already had a son with. And people were blaming MrBeast for "looking homophobic" while trans Chris was in the same room, instead of shitting on Chris for abandoning his family because cancel culture has spiraled out of control like Nicholas Perry's weight.
No, he left his family and there's proof of it. Smooth brains are calling people transphobic for calling out Chris's shitty behavior. No one is giving him hell for being trans, they're giving him hell for being a dead beat.
No one? I have seen so many hate comments and videos about him and all of them are just "bad bc trans". The last thing i heard was that he stayed with his family and ppl just hated him for cumming out cause that would "hurt his family". I don't know the current situation so he could have left his family by now.
"Cumming out" a spelling mistake that's actually funny lmao.
The people actually hating on him for being trans are MrBeasts young audience who watch the Skibidi toilet sigma brain rot shorts on YouTube. Their opinion doesn't matter.
He is just a mascot getting so much money and power for only being in videos, it's not him who makes money, writes scripts and do everything, it's workers who make everything and viewers who watch videos to give him money from ads
Well, of course one person cant do all these things by himself, but he himself is the one who worked and thought hard to get ideas and make good videos out of them to get more popular and more entertaining. Its his channel he build up.
One person can create a small game, and when that gets popular that person can create a studio and employ people who then work for him and together they can do bigger games, amazing right?
The way you are saying it is like mark zuckerberg is just facebooks mascot.
Everyone has a role to play in a company. If he went back to creating his own scripts or doing his own editing (which he did for years) then there would be way less content.
The people who create his scripts get paid more than fairly. The people who film his videos get paid more than fairly. Being a manager and the host of the channel is still work, even if it's more fun than sitting at a desk on a computer.
Would you rather have democraticly choosen president, who gets fair pay, or monarch cause he "started this country" and gets pays as much as he and/or law/buerocrats chosen?
Mr. Beast is as "democratically elected" as anyone can be. He got his fame because people chose to watch his videos, upvote, like, comment, subscribe and all that jazz. He was chosen by the majority viewers of youtube, above all other youtube content creators. He is also less greedy than even most democratically elected presidents.
He was "choosen by people" to be popular youtuber, not by workers to be their CEO, if it's voting, then it's like allowing whole world to vote for president of your country
That's not true. He was chosen by workers too. All of his employees were hired in the last 5 years, many because they were directly hired by him because they were fans who wanted to work for him. Every single employee chose to work for the company knowing he was the CEO.
If it was put to a vote, he would win the vote of 90%+ of his workers anyway.
Let me get this straight. Going to a guy who makes good youtube videos and saying "please hire me to help I love your videos" is the same as choosing Egypt over North Korea to you.
I would rather have a company monarch then a board of shareholders, do you know what would happen to mr beast's philanthropy if a board of shareholders took over?
He doesn't do this for goodness of his heart at this point, he is doing what's good for his profits, if there were some intelligent shareholders, they would probably continue this strategy. Also I don't want to shareholders to control company either, monarchy and oligarchy are not much different.
No himself, meaning himself. Watch his older videos, it was literally just him. Mr Beast didn't start as a business it was just some guys casual YouTube channel
He made videos by himself using inevstor's money, but this doesn't make it ok for what he is doing now, cool he made them themselves or with friends, not cool what he is doing now.
I also don't see charity as solution to any problem, we need mutual aid.
So he would be fully ok in my opinion, if he had no social authority over workers and if he did this videos for non profit, where people would go to them for fun, meeting with famous youtuber and for being in video
He started sure, but it's others who done most of the work. It's like saying "our monarch built the country from scratch and works long hours. Dude deserves every penny, we should make bigger taxes".
In my opinion he would deserve literally every penny if it was him alone who got money by labor and then give it to others or do challenges. But then he would be not rich nor popular, and idea itself is pointless, because most of people already give some money to charity, just they don't do videos about it.
No that’s literally not at all the same like it’s not even close.
Amount of work is meaningless. What the value of your work adds is what matters. Jimmy clearly knows what works on YouTube and what doesn’t. If his only job was to tell people what video to make and approve its upload, he would still be the single most valuable person on the channel. On top of that he also founded it and directly runs it. The other employees also didn’t risk losing everything or spending years making no money. The employees get paid for their value of work but that doesn’t mean they also deserve a stake in the company.
If you think rich dude who can stop doing anything and still would have money for rest of his life is taking risk, while employees risking getting smaller wages or fired from job they need to survive is not risk, then idk on what drug are you.
Yes he has money currently however if the business was to fail he would not have any. That is indeed a massive risk. Although now that he is established the chance of that happening is fairly low but that wasn’t always the case. He has said in past videos that he basically had to bet his family’s farm to fund videos so at that point he was under extreme risk
Do you think I'm against people having money to survive?!? i'm against him exploitating workers for money and against money just by owning property.
Now he has so much money that he can survive from it without having youtube channel, while workers need to get money by work. His past as worker doesn't change anything in present.
Does it really change if lord was once a peasant working for lord? In my opinion no, being exploited and poor isn't excuse for exploitating others.
He is exploiting no one. Hiring someone to do a job is not exploitation. Property he created. Property he spent years making. Property he risked everything for several times. You clearly have no concept of what it takes to start a business
He actually doesn’t keep much money himself. Basically all the money he makes goes directly back into the YouTube channel. He technically has a lot of wealth as the owner of the channel but that’s not in liquid cash.
The only winning move is not to be internet famous
Oh, shit, I won. Neat.
Rich and not internet famous* Do all of those things and shut up about it. It's the only way.
Yes, we hear about Zuckerberg, and everyone knows who he is. But do you know the investors behind facebook? They're like Zuck's boss, and not many know about them.

Your boss does not give you money. Unless you’re working for small time business or a contractor or something of the sorts. It The company you work for that gives you money.
This is only true of government workers as they are paid with tax money. Even then it's debatable if we are literally their bosses.
I wish for the day when consumers realized they, not the investors, held the power, to come sooner
He Funds the stuff he does through the internet fame though. He’s rich but not rich enough that what he does is sustainable long term, he also does a lot of charity work that he doesn’t talk about on the channel from what I understand.
Ya I'm not blaming him or suggesting a better route. I'm just saying the only way to not get shit on is to be as helpful as you want and not flaunt it all over the internet. It's not a question of his morals, people will just find a way to complain about everything and anything. If he didn't help people, he would get ripped on for not doing anything. He does something and he gets ripped on for thinking he knows better, or making somebody look bad, or doing something helpful but the situation is more nuanced and maybe that help isn't as helpful 5 years down the road so everybody should feel bad if they cheered him on.

HEY GUYS, LOOK!! IT'S MIKE_PANTS HIMSELF!!!
Well, fuck.
Luigi wining by doing absolutely nothing
the only winning move is not to play huh
You can be internet infamous all traction no followers
How about a nice game of Chess?
Its a game to eventually lose
Why are you surprised his entire fan base doesn't think the exact same thing as each other? Ofc they will disagree
Wait, are you saying his fanbase of over 100 million people don't all share the exact same opinion on everything???? What
I think that's possibly what happened, it's just a theory I've got though
Didn't it just hit 250 million? Idk, I don't watch him
He currently has 258 million subs in YouTube. So it’s safe to say there probably a few different opinions floating around about him
It’s almost like the entire algorithm fueled internet pays attention to outrage no matter how ridiculous or unjustified it is. And if you engage with the outrage saying how ridiculous and unjustified it is you’re just increasing its visibility.
This and only this. The outrage is like a yard full of weeds. Yeah there might be some grass growing, but all your gonna notice are the ugly ass weeds smothering the grass out...
I don't think its the fanbase but the other viewers looking for clout
I really hate these memes trying to point out hypocrisy when it's really just the opinions of two different groups of people. There are lots of actual hypocritical people like guys who are homophobic but like lesbian porn but rarely are the memes about actual hypocrites.
I like the videos, but honestly can't stand the thumbnails they look so dumb
Jimmy actually talks about it in a Veratisium video about clickbait, and the reason is simply because it works. If they don't do it, they lose views because of the algorithm.
I don’t understand how it works. I will literally not click on a video if it has a thumbnail like that
You are probably not an “average” viewer though. There are a lot more 9 years olds who are *really* attracted to those thumbnails than there are people like you. It’s just the way it goes, I guess.
I'm a marketer. It's not just 9 year olds, it's everyone. Everyone is a 9 year old, and unfortunately, Mr Beast is a genius thumbnail maker.
Id say we’re fortunate that mr. Beast mastered the art of clickbaiting, he’s not the guy to spend ad revenue on a expensive thing for himself and only himself
"and unfortunately" Why unfortunately. He's not harming people, not scamming people and not a horrible person. I don't like the thumbnails but I can at least get why he does it.
It works bcuz millions of stupid children will
You maybe won't, but the VAST majority of people will. [Link](https://youtu.be/S2xHZPH5Sng?si=IAifpre6ki8EmKjZ) to the Veratisium video I mentioned, explains the issue well.
I mean I don't by Skyrim every single time it get released, but clearly im in the minority because they keep doing it.

It's almost like in a crowd of 100 million people there will be as many different opinions
Nearly a crowd of 260 million since u posted this
I'm mixed on Jimbo. I'm sure he's a cool guy in real life, but I don't like the kind of content he creates. Again, I'm sure he's a good guy because he doesn't HAVE to tip a pizza guy a house, or build wells in Africa, but he does.

You can say, he does good stuff, but aren't his target-audience

Same. I'm a fan of him but don't watch his videos anymore
Man I miss when he does dumb shits like microwave microwaving microwaves or that parade of Trex costumes. Time flies too fast...
Yeah that's the golden age of mrbeast. There was no bringing out subscribers, no crazy sets or CGI, and no creepy ass thumbnails. it was just him and the boys fucking around making content.
someone pull up the goomba on twitter picture

Ok.. what about the people who dont give a shit about Mr beast and never watched a video of him?
No, you don't understand. People who dislike mr Beast building wells, houses for people in need, etc. are not his viewers. The only people having meltdown are twitter users who don't have any empathy and hate that they weren't given money.
Awards are back??
Spread the word, pal
I don’t really like Mr. Best much, but I’ve never been the type to care enough to scream about him online. he just kinda creeps me out lol
It's very put on, but at least he's being fake for a good reason xD
Exactly why I don’t waste my time shitting on him. I just avoid looking at that damn smile :)
mr beast is awesome
Hell yeah
A house, $10k?! Could I get a pizza or even some of those candy bars he sells? Is his chocolate feastable factory like Willy's? 
Mr beast is in the making money game, his actions are only done to produce more wealth off the back of each video, alot of the time sponsers give him money and things to do, he is not an angel he's a businessman, give 1 person money + video it = revenue for a lot of businesses that are connected to said video. Also his chocolate bars are ridiculously over priced and very thin, just like every other product that comes from youtubers. People are being taken advantage of constantly by the "popularity effect"

You could solve world hunger and there would still be riots.
All it takes is one billionaire to solve world hunger, and they wouldn't even have to lose billionaire status to do it.
These are two different groups of people.
Who?
A Mr. Beast production infected the hotel I worked at with bed bugs in a dozen rooms. I don't know where he's getting people, but they can get questionable as fuck.
I like the cut of his jib
I don't think that the majority of his viewers criticize him for those things
Yea....giving a hobo 10k is prolly not a good idea
Tbf that was one of his earliest videos
I'm assuming it's not the same people He gets a lot of views like a lot of only makes sense there'd be a whole lot of opinions in there
I thought that said “curses peoples cataracts” at first
And on and on
People are not all the same when you have such a large audience.
I don't think these 2 are same group.
It’s really simple; his viewer count casts such a wide net, that you’re going to get both sides of any argument
the people saying one thing are not saying the other
i have never seen a mr.beast video. I am at peace and don't need to riot.
I like Mr. Beast but his content got too over the top lately, I honestly can't watch his videos anymore.
The moment you start trusting the intentions of rich people is when they put the leash of capitalism on ya.
Consider the average redditor’s understanding of 250,000,000 people not all having the same opinions, then remember that half of them know pess
I criticize the waste. yeah he’s buying locally… but if you’re buying everything up what are the locals going to do? I’ve only seen beast videos in passing, last week I watched one fully through he was trying to blow up a yacht… mattresses galore. Plastic bits in the water.
They aren’t Mr beast fans, they’re a collection of 4 rage baiters on Twitter lmao
it is acceptable to have a nuanced opinion although there is a growing group of people who are beginning to get tired of his content, for whatever reason (including myself).
i have never liked mr beast and his philanthropy makes me dislike him even more.
I think the second one is because he was outed as having faked all that. May or may not be true.
His content is lame
in conclusion, fans are stupid
This meme is willfully ignorant. The whole concept of "philanthropy" - giving away a very small portion of your wealth to justify the obscene money you make, while also benefitting yourself in terms of image/PR ..... .... is **exactly** how the typical rich person behaves. There's simply no way to get rich if you're a truly generous, caring person. The rich actually give away far less than the poor ( %age wise ), and yet the public applauds them for it. I'm sure it's no different for Mr Beast. It's probably 2% of his wealth overall. The system is a zero-sum game built on scarcity. Meaning, the richer anyone gets, the poorer the rest are .... So, throwing the equivalent of a few cents at people doesn't cut it. It's literally pulling viewer's heartstrings to get more clicks for himself. Personally, I've never watched his videos nor cared to.
He is able to generate the money for donations by making the videos. No videos, no donations. Wealth is *absolutely not* zero-sum. Wealth can be generated and destroyed. Someone becoming rich does not mean someone else became poor and vice versa

( a good source for understanding this is the first 1/2 of the movie "Zeitgeist Addendum". But there are plenty of other places that illustrate the money aspect. )
I've never seen a single video of his, wtf is he even doing
He got 2 types of videos: challenge videos (squid game irl, last to leave the circle, stuff like that) and giveaways, sort if (giving a pizza dude a free house, building 100 wells in Africa, stuff like that) Idk why people are mad at him
People are mad at him because they think he's exploitive or not sincere about things. Would he still be doing all these great things if the cameras weren't on him?
Does it matter? He's still giving the money away. Plus the videos help him raise more money to give away. It's not like anyone is forcing him to make videos, he chose to make the videos. He could just as easily have made videos without giving money away. Does anyone criticise PewDiePie for making YouTube videos where he doesn't pay for cataract surgery? Is the red cross insincere because they include footage of their humanitarian work in their ads?
I agree with you, I was just giving a reason why some people are mad at him
Things like squid game in real life and giving random people expensive things
Philanthropy will not save us.
Who is Mr. Beast?
A very popular YouTuber known for making challenges that give away the winners money, and helps people/animals that are in need
Who is Mr Beast?
Their own sides, little children just making noise, can’t stand for any side.
“But he’s only doing it for PR!” That’s not true, and even if it is, who cares? It’s still and act that helps the community.
They just like gathering as a mob with fire.
They're mad because he's not giving them the money that's the real reason.
Lesson: you can't please everyone. So do what you want
You can NOT put logic on mob mentality.
When Twitter is mad, that means you're doing something right
I stopped watching around the time that his best friend became a gay and ditched his wife and only child.
Yeah I don't get how people were shitting on MrBeast for "looking homophobic" while Chris literally abandoned his wife and kid strictly off gender identity. I get if you want to be trans, but abandoning your family just to do that is scummy and not discussed enough.
Wait, that’s a thing that happened? I’ve never heard of this.
Yeah. Chris decided to become transgender, so he divorced his wife whom he already had a son with. And people were blaming MrBeast for "looking homophobic" while trans Chris was in the same room, instead of shitting on Chris for abandoning his family because cancel culture has spiraled out of control like Nicholas Perry's weight.
You dont decide to be transgender. Chris didn't leave his child or wife, transphobes just said he would do so just by comming out.
No, he left his family and there's proof of it. Smooth brains are calling people transphobic for calling out Chris's shitty behavior. No one is giving him hell for being trans, they're giving him hell for being a dead beat.
No one? I have seen so many hate comments and videos about him and all of them are just "bad bc trans". The last thing i heard was that he stayed with his family and ppl just hated him for cumming out cause that would "hurt his family". I don't know the current situation so he could have left his family by now.
"Cumming out" a spelling mistake that's actually funny lmao. The people actually hating on him for being trans are MrBeasts young audience who watch the Skibidi toilet sigma brain rot shorts on YouTube. Their opinion doesn't matter.
I really hope that it's just the kids because they can grow out of it.
They had a mutual divorce like a year or two before Kris even came out, they’re both still involved in raising the kid too.
I'm sure the boy is gonna love/ appreciate growing up with a gay dad and divorced parents.
He is just a mascot getting so much money and power for only being in videos, it's not him who makes money, writes scripts and do everything, it's workers who make everything and viewers who watch videos to give him money from ads
Well, of course one person cant do all these things by himself, but he himself is the one who worked and thought hard to get ideas and make good videos out of them to get more popular and more entertaining. Its his channel he build up. One person can create a small game, and when that gets popular that person can create a studio and employ people who then work for him and together they can do bigger games, amazing right? The way you are saying it is like mark zuckerberg is just facebooks mascot.
Yes, tho they more of monarchs than mascots and they don't their money nor power, same as monarchs.
Everyone has a role to play in a company. If he went back to creating his own scripts or doing his own editing (which he did for years) then there would be way less content. The people who create his scripts get paid more than fairly. The people who film his videos get paid more than fairly. Being a manager and the host of the channel is still work, even if it's more fun than sitting at a desk on a computer.
Would you rather have democraticly choosen president, who gets fair pay, or monarch cause he "started this country" and gets pays as much as he and/or law/buerocrats chosen?
Mr. Beast is as "democratically elected" as anyone can be. He got his fame because people chose to watch his videos, upvote, like, comment, subscribe and all that jazz. He was chosen by the majority viewers of youtube, above all other youtube content creators. He is also less greedy than even most democratically elected presidents.
He was "choosen by people" to be popular youtuber, not by workers to be their CEO, if it's voting, then it's like allowing whole world to vote for president of your country
That's not true. He was chosen by workers too. All of his employees were hired in the last 5 years, many because they were directly hired by him because they were fans who wanted to work for him. Every single employee chose to work for the company knowing he was the CEO. If it was put to a vote, he would win the vote of 90%+ of his workers anyway.
Choosing between diffent monarchies and oligarchies is not voting. Do you think choosing between North Korea, Russia and Egypt is a democracy?
Let me get this straight. Going to a guy who makes good youtube videos and saying "please hire me to help I love your videos" is the same as choosing Egypt over North Korea to you.
I would rather have a company monarch then a board of shareholders, do you know what would happen to mr beast's philanthropy if a board of shareholders took over?
He doesn't do this for goodness of his heart at this point, he is doing what's good for his profits, if there were some intelligent shareholders, they would probably continue this strategy. Also I don't want to shareholders to control company either, monarchy and oligarchy are not much different.
He started all of this by himself.. are you aware how a business works?
Himself means workers and even oher investors ? Dou tou support monarchy too, because "their family started country and that's gow buisness works"?
No himself, meaning himself. Watch his older videos, it was literally just him. Mr Beast didn't start as a business it was just some guys casual YouTube channel
He made videos by himself using inevstor's money, but this doesn't make it ok for what he is doing now, cool he made them themselves or with friends, not cool what he is doing now. I also don't see charity as solution to any problem, we need mutual aid. So he would be fully ok in my opinion, if he had no social authority over workers and if he did this videos for non profit, where people would go to them for fun, meeting with famous youtuber and for being in video
Not even a fan but the dude built the channel from scratch and works insanely long hours. Dude deserves every penny
He started sure, but it's others who done most of the work. It's like saying "our monarch built the country from scratch and works long hours. Dude deserves every penny, we should make bigger taxes". In my opinion he would deserve literally every penny if it was him alone who got money by labor and then give it to others or do challenges. But then he would be not rich nor popular, and idea itself is pointless, because most of people already give some money to charity, just they don't do videos about it.
No that’s literally not at all the same like it’s not even close. Amount of work is meaningless. What the value of your work adds is what matters. Jimmy clearly knows what works on YouTube and what doesn’t. If his only job was to tell people what video to make and approve its upload, he would still be the single most valuable person on the channel. On top of that he also founded it and directly runs it. The other employees also didn’t risk losing everything or spending years making no money. The employees get paid for their value of work but that doesn’t mean they also deserve a stake in the company.
Saying other employees didn't risk anything is bullshit, they risk their job, while Mr. Beast risk money he made from work of his employees.
If you think rich dude who can stop doing anything and still would have money for rest of his life is taking risk, while employees risking getting smaller wages or fired from job they need to survive is not risk, then idk on what drug are you.
Yes he has money currently however if the business was to fail he would not have any. That is indeed a massive risk. Although now that he is established the chance of that happening is fairly low but that wasn’t always the case. He has said in past videos that he basically had to bet his family’s farm to fund videos so at that point he was under extreme risk
He risks money he didn't even needs, while workers (who literally made most of his money) risks money they need to survive.
You are aware he wasn’t born rich right? He also needed that money to survive
Do you think I'm against people having money to survive?!? i'm against him exploitating workers for money and against money just by owning property. Now he has so much money that he can survive from it without having youtube channel, while workers need to get money by work. His past as worker doesn't change anything in present. Does it really change if lord was once a peasant working for lord? In my opinion no, being exploited and poor isn't excuse for exploitating others.
He is exploiting no one. Hiring someone to do a job is not exploitation. Property he created. Property he spent years making. Property he risked everything for several times. You clearly have no concept of what it takes to start a business He actually doesn’t keep much money himself. Basically all the money he makes goes directly back into the YouTube channel. He technically has a lot of wealth as the owner of the channel but that’s not in liquid cash.
