SEO face and it’s consequences.
Nothing Verhoeven did was even close to as garish as this. I feel like I am genuinely becoming a little bit more unstable every time I see one of these thumbnails.
I heard somewhere that Mr. Beast is miserable trying to keep up his brand. I hope that’s true
The interview I saw about him was more like he doesn’t feel any emotions outside of making money. Like he gets bored or twitchy if he’s not doing something connected to making videos or generating revenue.
Inhuman, soulless husk. Meat puppet generated by capital to do its bidding. Marx was correct when he said the bourgeoisie are more of slaves to capital than the workers are. People like Mr. Beast are barely even conscious entities anymore.
honestly i think mr. beast is the kind of guy who doesn’t really know what misery and joy are. you know, the kind of guy who would be working voluntary overtime in like a warehouse or something if he were born poor because he just doesn’t know what to do with his time if he isn’t just increasing the number in his bank account. the kind of guy who has a girlfriend because guys are supposed to have girlfriends. everything is an obligation/responsibility
when i made that connection it made a lot of sense to me. ive met guys like that in warehouses before. they’ll literally be working like 90 hour weeks across multiple jobs but driving to work every day (in the deep south summer) with broken AC in their car because the car still works and they just don’t care. they’ll be hoarding money like a dragon and never spending any of it, because society tells them acquiring money is how you win and they figure that if nothing brings them joy they might as well win.

According to an interview with him, he literally sees his time with his girlfriend as transactional, that he considers every hour spent with her as being an hour he’s lost money because he’s not making content
It’s honestly astounding to me the level of shit some people will put up with. That poor woman.

are these guys vulnerable to gold diggers? asking for a friend
He’s like a singular human embodiment of modern capitalism. He doesn’t even have the motivation of profit, he has apparently operated near, below, or at cost for a long time. A modern Mr Beast video costs something like $1m to produce apparently. It’s literally just growth for growth sake and nothing else. Absolutely demonic, no way he knows what happiness is.
Yeah but now he has merchandise… So everything he does is just a promotion to sell more of the crap that makes him money. Like his shitty chocolate bars that sell for three times the price of a Nestle or Cadbury chocolate bar. Chocolate is like the ultimate sin food. It’s bad for you if you eat it, and the production of it was likely bad for everyone involved, and the money goes to ghouls who just want more money.
oh yeah, i don’t mean to give the impression i think he’s not personally wealthy or not personally implicated in human rights violations. obviously he’s both those things. i’m more just getting at that he doesn’t even seem to care about enjoying it, he’s just the high priest of the god of the Youtube algo
It took me a couple of years but I managed to curate my yt feed to only show me stuff I will actually watch and yet I’m still one misclick away from getting Little Ben Shapiro and PragerU shoved down my throat.
Just turn off watch history (turns off recommendations and the home page) and use the subscription feed exclusively. Suggested videos will only appear based on your currently watched video, so completely unpersonalized
This is what I’ve done for ages and it works like a charm (although unfortunately search is still terrible, no saving that mess). Well, I only got around to disabling watch history in the last year or so, but I’ve been going directly to the sub feed for almost as long as YouTube has existed. I think the only time I actually used the front page was in the very early days of YouTube when it was actually a little community and you’d have featured videos and stuff, but that was like 15 years ago.
