sweet geek swag posted:I have never watched a Mr. Beast video, but every time I've seen people get mad at him it is because of something like him paying for blind people's eye surgery or supporting one of his transgender employees. His content looks asinine, but I don't have anything against him. He's never given me any money so he can't possibly be good.

Kit Walker posted:Part of the issue is that part of his brand is doing these charitable things, but it just boils down to business. Even if he drops a cool million a year on paying for surgery or whatever, he gets 50 million a year from his videos and sponsorships so it’s just the cost of doing business. Plus he can probably write it off on his taxes anyway. Videos like that will tend to include whoever he helps talking about how thankful they are and how great Mr. Beast is, and it’s kind of gross poverty porn. In short, he’s made a massive business out of pretending he’s a philanthropist. Dude’s worth half a billion dollars at this point. There have also been reports that he’s actually kind of an awful boss who has mistreated his employees badly in the past It's amazing how dense his defenders are, because their argument starts and ends at; "But he did Good Thing? You would rather he didn't do Good Thing and help those people???"

I dunno about Mr beast. It's like he somehow invented or at least capitalized poverty porn to a business. Moreso than suzanne sommers(sp?) did. I mean I'm glad he helps people but doing it for any reason other than helping is just skeevy. He's done some good stuff, which is nice, but he and my interests exactly never intersect, so I've never even seen a video of his. Just going off what I've read online about him. If there was a line for the guillotine, he'd be in it, but he'd be back way behind like, congress or wall street.

Yeah, I get that, I just don't understand how some people seem to single him out for very specific hatred. He's a greedy bastard, but like, the least harmful greedy bastard. Maybe I'm just hearing from some extremely stupid people.

Bottom Liner posted:He's a piece of poo poo boss that treats his workers like garbage and doesn't pay them (on top of everything else) Apparently he models himself after Elon Musk so that sounds completely on brand.  Also he was apparently an investor in a crypto/NFT scheme and promoted it to all his fans but - shock! - it turned out to be a pump and dump scam and a whole lot of them lost their life savings: https://web.archive.org/web/20210504211043/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/04/technology/mr-beast-youtube.html ...... but depending on how you feel about crypto marks that might not be such a bad thing, lol

Maybe I'm just hearing from some extremely stupid people. He's successful, but his demographics skew young. This means any discussion of why he's successful among people over 30 is going to be fertile ground for hot takes justifying why he's bad, actually. I watch his videos sometimes (in a private window so as not to affect my tightly curated 90s music / marble racing / pinball table maintenance video suggestions) and he's not for me but I understand why people watch.

Didn't know anything about Mr Beast until today, but based solely off that screenshot posted earlier of the video titles/thumbnails I loving hate this guy. Looks like pure "content"... no creativity, no passion, just mining the loving algorithm for clicks.

Mr Beast is the first guy to 'crack' the algorithm wanted this. While he's not the reason the algorithm wanted it, he is very much the face that started everyone down that path.

Fuel savers are the car equivalent of the rocks they sell to audiophiles to put on top of their stereos, i.e. snake oil They come in many forms, from plastic junk you plug into your cigarette lighter socket to metal junk you put in your fuel tank

Did someone manage to trick people into paying $200 dollars for the privilege of running a usb bitcoin miner? Usually it plugs into the OBD port in your car and is supposed to unlock the full fuel efficiency of your car by reprogramming the ECM. There's also something similar that you plug into a wall outlet of your house that is supposed to trick your electric usage meter or some other dumb poo poo so you save money on your electrical utility bill. And yeah as you would guess they are literally just an LED. At best, they might even program them to flicker the LED so it looks like it's doing something. At worst, it''ll probably burn your house and/or car down.

There's a port to interface with the computer on every post, like 1999, car this is a box with an LED that plugs in to that port. It's the 'ol dihydrogen fuel saver scam with a much, much lower upfront parts cost. E;FB, by a lot.

Fine, nothing exceptional there, pizza oven in a van job done. Now the USP was they would drive to your house and make the pizza on your doorstep. Which sounds great until you think for half a second how this works as a business. Either your pizzas are like £40 each or you go bankrupt. The solution? Maybe they could make the pizzas on the way to the house? I wish more than anything else in this world that they did not get talked out of doing this and they had livestreamed a guy trying to make an artisan pizza in the back of a moving van. No one who suggested this idea had any food business experience you'll be shocked to hear.

Back when I had a car, I got an OBD-II bluetooth plug so I could hook into the diagnostics stuff with my phone, it was neat.
