    No shit. Billionaire pays poor people to embarrass or endanger themselves, uses it to promote himself.

    Here’s an idea for a video: Mr. Beast and the Box of Knives. Him, the people he exploits, and a box of knives. Whoever kills him gets to keep his money.

    That’s the content I want to see.

      I’ve got to say, I’m disappointed in Lemmy for the amount of upvotes you’re receiving for a comment as sickening as this.

      Killing someone just for revenge should never be the answer. That’s the kind of tactic that makes dictators and fascists what they are. The desire to watch something like that is even more alarming.

        They’re not killing him for revenge. They’re killing him for money. Big difference. I’m sure he’s killed quite a few people for money, so I don’t think he has any room to complain.

        Yeah bloodthirst is never a good look, especially about something that doesn’t even affect you and is some abstract internet drama vol. 2762

        It indicates you are some emotional ball of unpredictable that should probably be monitored by fbi and locked up at any signs of planning. A picture of greasy hair, basement, ar15 appears in my mind. Stained Mickey Mouse tee

        Half of hexbears are like that

      This is what I’ve said about Mr.Beast from day 1. First video I saw of his was putting his friends in a taped off square in some backyard and the last one to leave keeps the car. So a rich asshole makes people dance for money and then he profits off the video for more than he paid. Mr.Beast is 1 of 2 youtubers that I have used an extension to explicitly block me from seeing his videos in my feed.

          BlockTube. It let’s you block all kinds of stuff from specific videos to channels, even block shorts outright. I only use the channel block feature, so your milage may vary with the rest of it, but it’s pretty easy to use so it works for me.
