X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad::undefined

Remember, when people made content just for the fun of it
I do, and I miss it. What’s more I’ve never once seen a Mr beast video.
Avoid the cruft, roll your own content and find smaller, individual communities like these tubes used to be a decade (or more) ago.
What’s more I’ve never once seen a Mr beast video.
And nothing of value was lost.
Mr. Beast only offers “charity porn” that makes him richer. He’s not doing anything to change the systems in place that make the problems he “solves” any better. He’s just putting band-aids on small groups of people while doing nothing to address larger issues. Hell, he himself is an example of a larger issue. We should not have to rely on the rich to fix societies problems, that’s what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.
I fully await for him to completely deep throat Elon to make more money. Mr. Beast doesn’t care about pesky things like real morals or values, or he wouldn’t be online friends with the likes of Musk to begin with. All he cares about is the dollar signs.
EDIT: I’m definitely expecting the day when some journalist does a “big reveal” on all the shady horrible shit that goes on with Mr. Beast and his companies.
EDIT II: You know Mr. Beast doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything but money because he’s still friends with Musk after the very public reveal of one of his staff being trans. The fact that he can be friends with such a fucking bigot while “supporting” their trans staff member reveals how little he actually gives a fuck about the issue. He’s happy to be friends with people who would deny Kris the life she wishes to lead, so how much does he really care?
that’s what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.
Why until his channel is gone? If he’s a business, we need to tax him and his business appropriately. More, sure. But taxing a business until it’s gone is counterproductive, even if you don’t like what the business stands for…
His “business” is a charity. Charity shouldn’t have to exist in a world with enough wealth to support everyone.
If his channel became something else, sure. But the point is he would be taxed until all those problems he “fixes” are solved, and then he wouldn’t have much to put on his channel, would he?
If you take away the “charity” what the fuck does Mr. Beast even bring to the table?
Fuck, remember webcomics?
Achewood, Diesel Sweeties, Cat and Girl, Penny Arcade, Cyanide & Happiness, Joe and Monkey, Questionable Content, Dresden Codak (always updated way too infrequently), Dinosaur Comics, Gone With the Blastwave, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, The Perry Bible Fellowship, When I Grow Up/WIGU/Overcompensating, Married to the Sea, hell, even CTRL+ALT+DEL left us with Loss. I could go on, there’s definitely more.
…but I don’t like to talk about what happened with SinFest.
A lot of these sites had advertising, but I don’t remember any of it being so off-putting that I felt the need for an adblocker. Honestly, at this point, I don’t even recall if adblockers were a thing yet in 2000-2005.
So much content in those early aughts. I’m still waiting on a Complete Achewood. Damn you, Chris Onstad!
I was always a little disappointed I never was able to get a “I’m the guy who sucks/plus I got depres-sion” shirts.

If someone is getting rich off of it though, it had better be the creator.
Imagine running scam on video views like, 5 years after Facebook’s infamously bs « pivot to video » bombed. What a visionary man.
I, for one, have no idea who MrBeast is. Wish I also didn’t know who Must was.
Some rich guy that makes YouTube videos to make profit off of his philanthropist tax write offs
My brain keeps mis-reading his name as MrBean.
Isn’t one of Mr. Beast’s friends or employees trans? He’s shown open support for them too. He has a vested interest in not associating with Elon.
He’s got vested interest in gargling Musk’s balls.
“I’m about to finish this book and I want you to know that I respect the hell out of you,” he wrote on February 11, 2020. “Ever since I started learning about your work ethic and passion I’ve been more motivated than ever to make a difference. I look up to you.”
To note, 2020 was a couple years after Musk called the cave diver that saved kids a pedo.
That was the moment that all rational people figured out he was a complete asshat. Mr. Beast didn’t.
In my view, it means Mr. Beast doesn’t actually respect Kris very much, to keep being this buddy-buddy with Musk.
I mean Musk wasn’t as loud about his bigotry at that point, not in the way he is now at least, and Mr Beast has been openly supportive of trans people. Being a bit of an idiot and being a raging bigot aren’t the same thing, and that incident mostly convinced people that Elon was an idiot. It’s entirely possible he’s changed his mind about Musk in 3 years. I’m not a Mr Beast fan by any means, I don’t watch his content or anything and tbh I found his reaction to the Jacksepticeye thing to be annoying which hasn’t endeared him to me, so I don’t have any skin in the game on his end of things, but there were a lot of people who didn’t hate Elon after the cave diving thing who do hate him now so I wouldn’t really treat that post as gospel personally. A lot of people don’t want to admit it but Elon used to have way better PR than he does now, and a lot of people have changed their minds about him over time. So atm I don’t see any reason to believe that Mr. Beast would revoke his support for trans people for Musk. His support of trans people is more recent as well. Maybe I’m wrong but I’d rather be optimistic about it until he gives me reason not to be.
If MrBeast leaves YouTube I will consider that a win. I am so tired of see his gaping jaw open on my front page for his stupid stunts and his stupid candybars.
HE’LL BE BACK, THEY ALWAYS COME BACK
Why is it people who hoard wealth and use that wealth to hoard more wealth by fucking as many people as possible always get this dismissive “eh of course they do shrug,” - but as soon as somebody finds wealth and is like “how can I do something useful with this” then uses that wealth to start a food bank and fund water/energy projects for needy communities we gotta spend our day breaking down how they’re evil and sus?
Because people who get this rich do it by exploiting the poor. They aren’t going to turn around and be nice. People who get this rich start as absolute shit bags. They remain the same after.
… that doesn’t answer the question they asked.
Did you literally not even manage to read a whole one paragraph comment before responding?
You didn’t answer my question.
Why do billionaires who do a fraction of a fraction of what he does get a free pass to actively steal economic activity from their workers and customers because their product isn’t content - but somebody whose business is creating something of value (content) who pays his people reasonably and also does good for people needs to be be taken down at every turn and shat on at every opportunity?
Corporate apologism at its finest, right here. The only true evil is making money via creating a popular product instead of stealing the economic value of those who create a product for you because you already had all the capital to start with. Infinite corporate greed is good because it’s private, using your money and platform to help people is evil because they do it in the open.
GTFO
Sir this is a wendys

Mr Beast is a fascist
I feel like MrBeast is smarter than this.
Smart enough to show support for his trans staff member while also being friends with someone who would deny every trans person their human rights?
He’s a fucking piece of shit speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
You can’t support Kris and be friends with the likes of Elon Musk.
He’s not smarter than this, he’s fucking greedy just like Musk.
Where in the article does it say anything about their being friends?
It doesn’t say it in the article, but Mr. Beast’s friendship with Musk is well documented.

Over the following months and years, Donaldson and Musk exchanged messages on X (Twitter back then). Donaldson said several times that he admired Musk.
In one tweet, he said he had been reading “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future” by Ashlee Vance.
“I’m about to finish this book and I want you to know that I respect the hell out of you,” he wrote on February 11, 2020. “Ever since I started learning about your work ethic and passion I’ve been more motivated than ever to make a difference. I look up to you.”
Donaldson also tweeted messages of support about Musk’s developments at Tesla, and said he would be tuning in when Musk hosted “Saturday Night Live” on May 8, 2021.
On February 27, 2022, Musk tweeted asking why the “traditional” media was “such a relentless hatestream.”
“Bro I could literally feed a million people and they wouldn’t care in the slightest,” Donaldson replied. “But the second I slip up and do something wrong they’ll pounce all over it lmao.”
Musk then cryptically tweeted out: “If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya.”
Donaldson replied: “If that happens can I have Twitter.”
Musk responded with a simple, “Ok.”
“Jokes aside, be safe!” Donaldson said. “I wuv u.”
Yeah Mr. Beast doesn’t actually respect Kris, if this is how he talks to Musk. You don’t call him “bro” and not mean it.
