All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
Dude literally watched Squid Game and said that shit would be better if it were real then set out and did it.
But for 5k a day.. Yeah, I'd waste three months of my life for that kind of money
Of course you would. I probably would too. It's life changing money. But the morality of these 'challenges' is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮
A 2.5 million private jet is, uh, probably not new.
The smallest Very Light Jets, like the Cessna Mustang or HondaJet, start around $5 million new.
So you're probably looking at a decades old plane, almost certainly not enough room to fully stand up, and possibly no lavatory.
It could be a Cirrus Vision Jet.
Edit: holy shit they've gone up in price to $3.2M. Damn inflation hitting private jets too. Nobody's immune
Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here who knows about private jets
I looked this up. It was a Hawker 400XP, worth about $2.4 million. Yes, it's a tiny jet.
Well that was an interesting source
Pilot who won private jet from MrBeast challenge briefly detained in Paraguay over drug case
The seized drugs were high in THC and were estimated at $3.6 million, according to Paraguayan officials.
All of these are just working people being toyed with by the rich for their entertainment and profit
That's literally a description of society. Not just modern society, society throughout all of history. The rich and powerful have always toyed with the peasants.
These are just variations of game shows. Do X and you can win $/Prizes while they film it and play advertisements while people watch.
If Mr Beast was twenty years older, he would’ve been the one paying bums to fight.
Hell, I'd pay to see flying bums.
D’oh. I’ve edited it so now your comment doesn’t make sense. Flight -> fight.
My comments don't make sense at the best of times.
This guy has half a dozen people locked up for "content". Is anyone else seeing how this is hugely problematic?
Yes, in fact there's a whole genre of video essay where people explain how Mr Beast is problematic.
But to be fair, he's just an extension of the last 30 years of reality tv. Lure some desperate people with a large sum of cash, make them suffer in front of the camera, edit liberally, air for the entertainment of millions.
Additionally, one of the most popular tv shows of the decade is a criticism of exactly this phenomenon. Mr Beast did a whole tv series that tried to be Squid Game unironically, completely missing the moral of the story and spawning another round of criticism. Something something Guy Debord, something Jean Baudrillard something.
Who wants to watch any of this crap?
children let loose on an unrestricted internet without familial oversight
Elementary teacher here. Can confirm.
Ahhh, I always wondered who watches the super high views, super shitty clickbait garbage. Turns out it's the same people who play the f2p-but-it's-all-microtransactions games.
Depressing.
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.
it's going to leave an entire generation of people who will value money over everything else.
Yes because that doesn't already exist...
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.
A criminal living in a jail? Truly revolutionary stuff
is this real?
I think so unfortunately.
I recall hearing about the pilot one as the twist was that his family was waiting outside as the end approached and this sick fuck tried to get him to stay in longer for more money.
Haven't heard of the others mind you. They're on brand for him though.
holy flip. I really wish he just donated the money instead of torturing people for it.
Oh he "donates" money*
*to his friends, acting as strangers in his videos.
Oh look a rich person controlling other people with money. 🤮
Because he's just a boy in a basement. Don't judge, you'd keep a boy in a basement if you could, too.
Mr Beast is such a cunt
Why any of these? I am confused. Seems like anyone living in a gym and being paid money would lose weight. They all sound pretty stupid.
Jimmy is a fucking idiot. See any of the behind the scenes stuff and weird attempts at making Beast Games work. No planning, no actual experience with logistics, game design, filming, editing, etc.
He's just some schmuck with money, and people keep giving him more.
Because it's not supposed to make sense as a game concept. It's just supposed to generate a video that will get clicks. That it doesn't make sense for the actual contestant isn't a factor.
The secret with the guy in the gym is he started out at only 90 pounds. To win any money he will have to become antimatter
I have a pilot where one beast is captured and chained by each limb to ratchets. Ever 100 likes tightens a ratchet one notch. Which limb will give out first? Will the beast survive?
Completely out of the loop:
Who's Mr Beast, what does he do, why should I know him?
What does it mean "I have"? What does he have? A new type of game show? A movie, book, play, game?
Is this real or satire?
Edit: Thanks everybody! Seems like I missed nothing.
Being serious:
He's basically everything wrong with YouTube rolled into one person
You didn't even mention his terrible chocolate and candy
That is Lucifer, the great beast, the biblical devil. Hence "Mr Beast". He revealed himself to humanity in the mid 2010s, expecting to incite the apocalypse. But everyone was already pretty shook at the general state of the world, so nobody cared. He still tries to shock the world with diabolical stunts, but he really just can't compete with politicians and billionaires. Kind of tough to see, tbh. Kinda sad.
The first thing i think about when I see this is npt Squid game but The ones who walk away from Omelas
