Every billionaire is a policy failure, whether they're a company owner, dictator, or streamer; they're all needlessly hoarding wealth, harming us all. If you have more money than you could ever spend while people freeze and starve in the street, you are part of the problem and a bad person...

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

B-b-b-but he gives some of it back! Something something effective altruism 🫠

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

But he creates jobs! (that are extremely exploitative and past borderline abusive)

TIL Mr Beast is a billionaire.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

TBF, estimates are slightly lower than 1B, but he does reportedly earn $700,000,000. Every year...

This guy is a giant turd with googly eyes slapped on it.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

He does not smile with his eyes and I find that unsettling.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It's a sociopath thing.

Yeah, if you hold up your hand to cover the lower-half of his face, it's a different expression entirely.

Googly eyes look more alive and soulful than he does by a long shot.

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 55 points 2 years ago

I still don't know who this cuck is besides a YouTube star that got rich off kids whose parents babysit them with tablets. How anyone can stand looking at the guys face or hear him talking is beyond me. His face just oozes sociopath / narcissist.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago

One thing about him I saw in a Lemmy comment a couple months back, is that in every picture of him smiling, if you hide his mouth you're left with his lifeless eyes, it's like he was told how you're supposed to smile when you're cheerful so he goes through the motions but he's not entirely sure what the point is. It works with all the pictures of him I came across since then, including the thumbnail of this post.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 10 points 2 years ago

Tbf smiling on command is hard.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago

Sure, but in every picture? Including some where he's supposed to actually have fun?

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 13 points 2 years ago

He is a narcissist of the highest order. Exploited kids with illegal and rigged lotteries.

This guy has that elon musk syndrome where he doesn't know shit about logistics, especially specifics of the industries he tripped over his money into and assumes he can just throw cash at every idea he half bakes and everything will work out.

[-] vxx@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

I don't think the stuff would be molding 2 months before the best before date if he threw money at it. It's a sign he cheaped out and is producing the stuff in an unhygienic facility.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 15 points 2 years ago

Given what happened with Mr Beast Burgers, he seems to pick the cheap option all the time.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Do you guys have any idea how vindicating it is that people are finally seeing what a bunch of us suspected from the beginning? Mr. Beast has always come across as fake and I used to get SO MUCH SHIT for not fully supporting the guy making poor people compete for money to pay bills (and just giving the win to his friends instead).

Edit: typo

Jimmy is a self described DEGENERATE. He says it WITH PRIDE. Do research on your “heroes”. They’re shit. Check his early interviews. AND he brands with KSI, another fucking scum bag.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 72 points 2 years ago

So, you're not wrong, but why did you write that like a FB boomer talking about Obama?

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

He's basically clickbait distilled into human form. If people stop paying attention to him he'll wither and die

He's a rich psychopath. Throw him in with the rest.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

But he hired lawyers to prove that he isn't

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

interesting strategy to hire a lawyer for that instead of a psychologist

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It has to be on the top of rich-psycopathic responses to being called a psycopath

A person that made their entire brand and fortune off of having large amounts of wealth to throw around is not a good person?

I am shocked I tell you, shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

To "throw around"

Is an interesting way of working "give to his friends while committing sweepstakes fraud."

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

The mold holds extra nutrients.

Dead eyes...like a doll's eyes.

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

His brand has used our software service for the last couple of years, and his credit card declined the other day. I got a good chuckle.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 years ago

He’s a victim of his own success. He’s really good at gaming the YouTube algorithm and thinks that means he’ll be good at other things where he is definitely not an expert.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

But by now he has enough money to fail upwards with zero skills

I've never even watched anything this guy has done. For a long time I didn't even know who he was when I saw stories about him. Between him and the Paul's idk what they are even famous for but I know they are pieces of shit

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago

I wish I could go back two years and tell myself that soon everyone will hate this bucky asshole as much as I do.

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 17 points 2 years ago

Looks like an asshole. I bet he sounds like one too, but I intend to never hear his voice.

they're delivering perishables through the mail.

anyone working last mile deliveries can tell you that it's a miracle the mail is delivered at all.

When I saw the images...not a good seal between the yeasted up cracker and the cheese maybe? Dint really care other than f mrbeast

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

the yeasted up cracker

People called me this in college.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

His PR got confusingly bad recently. He went from someone that was a bit cringe but nobody hates to someone who has done a lot of good but still has an employee that was accused of sexual assault*.

What's the next thing to do to to save face? Start a brand with 'suicide forest' Logan Paul and 'Thick of it' KSI.

I don't get it, he had such a good thing going where he got essentially unlimited views.

  • tbh I don't really keep updated with popular celebrities details might be off, the last time I watched Mr beast was the Insane Asylum one 5 years ago.
