No matter what, the amount of money, contests, and just absolute overindulgence capable by Mr Beast is insane in any functioning society. The disparity is so bad these influencers and people with money swoop in, gift people egregious and lavish gifts are rewards for contests, and use that to further enrich themselves through monetized channels. Its sickening to watch. This shouldn’t be reality.
The old system where the networks got all the money was way better.
Suddenly it’s 1960.
Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Google have replaced ABC, NBC, PBS and CBS.
Your “
personal computerinternet appliance” is a black-box running rented software, just like in the ‘dumb-terminal time-sharing’ era.The comments replying seem to ignore one of the key aspects of your opinion. It’s about Mr Beast getting his name and face on every interaction. If the networks shoved “WERE GONNA BLOW UP THIS LABORGHINI BECAUSE CBS!” “WERE GONNA FEED THIS HOMELESS DUDE! CBS! CBS!” ad nauseam it would be a different animal, but somehow ostentatious displays of consumption and self-promotion are acceptable for some.
My main point is, you motherfuckers want to help? Money = free speech right now. Money is law. Use that fucken shit to sway laws. Start locally. They don’t want to help. They want to play saint lottery for instant good boy points while solving nothing. Its disgusting. May they all feast on each other at the table in hell.
For sure but Mr. Beast doesn’t actually keep any of the money for himself.
He does though. You can’t build fancy sets and put on huge productions without having money. Like yeah, Jimmy might not have millions of dollars in his personal bank account, but his business sure does.
He frequently talks about it. Often his videos costs about as much as they make.
He just likes doing the videos and helping people
My point is its batshit insane we have half the population unable to afford a fly farting on their car while a noticeable portion is able to gift people life transformations. You can’t mitigate all failures on an individual level, people will lose and get hurt, but this is beyond individual responsibility. Its self-gratification and exuberant indulgence on a scale that would make Slaanesh cum. If any of these people truly wanted to help people and not just play Saint Lottery, they would use their power to lobby for better regulations and worker conditions. Since money is free speech you know.
I know what you’re saying, I’m just confused why this anger is being directed at Mr. Beast of all people. I’m saying he’s doing more for people than most ever will. Maybe he should use his platform for political activism and lobbying, I don’t know. I mean, If he did how far could he go with that when what he’s doing is working well and he is able to help real people without redtape and bureaucracy. Yes he’s playing the capitalist system to help people, but it’s working and he is able to do it because he makes a good show of it. Would he be able to do the same if he dedicated himself to politics? I don’t know.
Its not hard to run fake restaurants out of other franchisee’s properties. Its also not hard to sell energy drinks from gas station shelves when you already have a brand name. None of these people have it hard, or would not be able to post videos of them depriving 40+ people of necessities as they each sit in separated circles to compete for money. Jimmy doesn’t fight the laws with all the free speech he has acquired through his life because they are what directed the fiscal winds of change into his pocket. It would damage his finances, and his many business, if the average person had it better. The anger is directed at the machine, of which he happens to be a substantial cog.
I mean it’s easier to stack him since he’s in the public culture. I just disagree he’s a substantial cog. There are far larger and critical institutions that reinforce the system and do far for damage to society. Talking as if Mr. Beast has any actual influence or powerful is laughable.
I want to believe that.
