He’s not just an asshole. He’s a sociopath.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a fake smile like this. Notice how only his mouth moves into the shape of a smile, where a normal person sort of smiles with their whole face and a number of different facial muscles.
This is legit terrifying.
So he’s a dick. I guess you kind of have to be a dick to be rich.
I’m not a subscriber of his so I’ve only seen a video or two, is his not apparent in some of his other more popular videos?
I’ve never seen any of his videos, but from what I’ve heard he’s most famous for big charitable stuff, including “#TeamSeas” and things where he gives a heap of money to viewers/randoms with medical bills or something like that.
Obviously, the cleanup project from TeamSeas was actually basically a scam, but it’s not clear how much Mr Beast knew that. Or even, frankly, how much the person behind the cleanup project knew it couldn’t work; whether he was hopelessly naive or wilfully pretending the criticism didn’t exist. And individual philanthropy is a highly inefficient use of money in terms of aid, that might be popular because it has a much higher benefit to the donor (in terms of social credit and thus in terms of ad revenue on YouTube) than working with efficient charities. So from someone paying attention, criticism of him and his intentions could have come earlier, but it was always easy to brush off for those going into it wanting to trust him, presumably because he’s entertaining and comes across as likeable on camera.
I’ve never understood his appeal. He always gave off a vibe that he was faking being nice or happy or whatever. Like when you have to fake a good mood for work when you’re having a shitty day.
Ugh, I’m not giving this a click, someone summarise?
I saw this a while ago so some of it could be misremembering. But he commonly does tit-for-tat advertising where the throws money around and has people fake praise him and call him a genius and say his ideas are great and his chocolate tastes good.
So he did a collab with this other creator, had already filmed the other guys video and assumed he would get his ad and praise. So he brings out his chocolate and has the guy taste his and compare to others. The guy is honest and says his chocolate is too sweet, to this, not enough that. He says hershey or something is better.
The guy’s honest review in everything he does, his integrity, is more important than the tit-for-tat from one of the most powerful youtubers.
Jimmy’s demeanor changes when he realizes he isn’t getting his fake words and he cuts the guy off fast, glares at him, and moves on, and never worked with him again.
Two people are making a not at all candid video and OP believes Mr. Beast is being his true self rather than changing his personality for the camera. Despite knowing he’s being filmed.
This isn’t a defense of Mr. Beast, I don’t like him
Mr whatever being an awkward, thin-skinned, and self-shilling asshat with a sociopathic, corpse-like, and mouth-only “smile” when he’s not being given the praise he feels he deserves.
There is a lot of creative editing in the video. Whenever the guy makes a negative remark the video has a second panel zooms in awkwardly on Mr. Beasts face. It’s not even consistent sometime it’s the entire face most of the time it is part of his face it emphasizing whatever facial expression he’s having and making Mr. Beast seem sinister.
IMO it’s clickbait, cringy and not very convincing. The creative editing goes out of its way to make Mr. Beast seem sinister just because he is exhibiting a normal reaction. Everyone including Mr Beast is allowed to show negative emotions or surprised reactions when someone criticizes our work or something we believe in.
Part of being an adult is taking that negative feedback and reining in that negative emotion. Then using that criticism to improve and better understand yourself or your product. But it doesn’t mean those negative emotions aren’t there.
Everyone is allowed to show negative emotions but they sure as hell aren’t allowed to throw shit and intimidate people. The other guy is clearly uncomfortable.
I don’t know what’s weirder, seeing a grown man flip a children’s table over a tantrum, or the fact that he asked to do it first.
Wonder what’d he’d do if they’d said no.
What’s being commented on here? There’s no video linked?
Thanks. For some reason on fedia.io it isn’t showing up.
