I really cannot wait until this guy's audience grows out of his stupid garbage. Though unfortunately, it's going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
Back during the George Floyd protests I was watching a live stream from NYC. Several people in the comments were saying the store owners should shoot the protesters if they broke windows. I asked chat, "Do you really value property over human life?" No one said "no", and three explicitly responded "yes!" to me. I'll never forget that, I was a bit shocked.
Dude you obviously have not seen game shows from well forever the last 50 60 years at very least. Mr beast is just a continuation of those game shows. I for one had never really heard or watched him before beast games came out. And then I started saying more and more of his stuff. But it's always been a part of game show culture and everything else culture to value the game and the money over anything else. However even watching those games and even his games you'll see quite a few people that value other things over the money.
I was born in the '70s. I grew up on those game shows. They do not hold a candle to the brazen contempt for humanity that Mr Beast videos have.
Huh. You must be watching something far different then what I've seen.
Yes because that doesn't already exist...
I dunno, I think he definitely shaped that thinking, not the horrible capitalistic systems we all live under
No the horrible capitalistic systems we are living under right now are shaped and controlled by the 70 and 80 somethings that currently have a strangle hold on the government.
In other words the FUCKING BOOMERS!
The funniest/saddest thing is hearing stories from niche youtubers that did one of his events talking about kids they meet finding out about it and immediately asking them for money. Just an instant switch from bored disinterest to excited begging.
