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.
Nothing quite like sitting on a porch with someone talking until 2 AM, or getting together at a cabin with your close friends and playing games for a straight weekend.
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
i mean she’s got a rich boyfriend who has like less than no expectations of her, she might have a real boyfriend on the side and just goes out with mrbeast every now and again for free food and/or gifts
well i guess, but that just seems really unlikely to me because how could you even form enough of a connection with such a cynical husk to feel that way? guy barely makes time to go on a date with his girlfriend and he’s anxious about it the entire time, i can’t imagine he was much better about making time for people who weren’t even his girlfriend yet
My main point is that humans are weird and it’s kinda shitty to assume she’s some kind of gold digger or something. Maybe she actually likes the guy? Ultimately we don’t know their dynamic.
There’s the misers who want to die with the biggest number, the alienated who amass money because grifters told them that’s how you earn respect and friendship (but who cannot legitimately befriend anything), and the grifters. Probably have some shot with the last two
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
I heard somewhere that Mr. Beast is miserable trying to keep up his brand. I hope that’s true

It’s honestly astounding to me the level of shit some people will put up with. That poor woman.
i mean she’s got a rich boyfriend who has like less than no expectations of her, she might have a real boyfriend on the side and just goes out with mrbeast every now and again for free food and/or gifts
sounds like a good deal to me, i’d do it
Or maybe she actually loves him but will probably never get that same affection back?

are these guys vulnerable to gold diggers? asking for a friend

the fact that mr beast specifically is miserable and hates himself is one of the few silver linings in this world
Death to America
