Mr beast isnt even bad its just its very artificially generated clickbait to get clicks and subs, rather than being content he makes because he likes making the content.

Its like the polar opposite of all the channels which are wholesome "i like building tables, here is a 30 minute video go me making one".

All those channels are now "I built this river table with 12 gallons of TotalBoat epoxy, a Festool Domino, a 10x18 CNC, and two 3" slabs of endangered elm, sponsored by Squarespace" or "The 14 tools under $50 I wish I bought (and a Festool Domino), sponsored by Squarespace"

Theres still a few that aren't, but yeah agreed more and more are getting roped into being glorified adverts for insanely expensive kit and gadgets.

I was pretty much over Mr. Beast when he launched “Mr. Beast Burger” and it got spammed throughout the internet to the point where my kids were literally begging for one.

On an “order out” night, we let them have it, and it was made in a ghost kitchen in a loving Buca di Beppo. And it was garbage. The kids never even asked for it again, it was that bad.

That's the only reason I even know about him, and I have no idea how overpriced mediocre chain restaurant burgers and fries with a guaranteed doordash wait time even got off the ground in the first place.

Eddy Burback, of "I ate at every rainforest cafe that's still open" fame, actually just put out a video about ghost kitchens. The answer seems to be "food service companies offer services to brands and influencers to market the same menu differently, so you have one kitchen producing the same mediocre meals for a couple dozen restaurants at the same address." It also coincided with the pandemic kicking off, so people were ordering out more.

Influencers and their brands are stupid powerful, there was people in the uk having punchups in lidl over the stupid "prime" energy drink logan paul and... Ksi?? Were promoting. Knives even got pulled in a couple of them although no one got stabbed. People were even scalping on ebay and on facebook market place for hundreds kf quid per bottle.

Its not even good, its caffeinated coconut water that's been diluted down with spring water. Sometimes I despair for the UK when running these grifts pays better than professional careers.

I can't get mad at people doing this. If that platform didn't reward it, people wouldn't do it - and they're paying the bills in a competitive environment.
I'm not going to watch it, but I don't think I'm (or the rest of this thread is) a regular viewer, whatever that is.
I wish there was a better functional alternative with monetization that was for more long form videos.

Anyone have that video (maybe a TikTok?) of the guy doing hand gestures with the mirror but then it turns out it was just both of his hands and the phone is in his mouth or something?

The one that's craziest to me is Abom79. Dude now has a shop full of at least like half a million bucks of enormous CNC machines meant for poo poo he doesn't do, doesn't know how to do, and that neither he or his audience seem to even have any interest in.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Surely you dont mean to suggest that anything like that exists on youtube? I mean okay, some of the cooking and baking stuff my wife watches is genuine, but then all the other poo poo she watches are just get-rich-quick schemers trying to milk as much as they can from youtube while putting out just absolute no effort, paint by numbers trash. If I have to see another video of rhett and link compare peanut butters or some poo poo I'm gonna give my TV the stone cold stunner
