Oh look a rich person controlling other people with money. 🤮
Basically a gladiator spectacle but with less obvious class dividers.
I mean it’s from top to bottom, including the reward (monetary instead of livelyhood)
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.
This guy has half a dozen people locked up for “content”. Is anyone else seeing how this is hugely problematic?
If the people are doing it voluntarily, and the minor(s) have parental consent, I don’t see the issue. I doubt they have no way to leave early.
Now, it may be problematic from a societal standpoint, that people want to do such a thing because they don’t make enough money.
I call this the “no literal gun pointed at head” fallacy.
I feel like there are various pieces of cinema pointing out why this is very fucking problematic
Like…?
Squid games for one.
Hunger games. I remember a Youtuber predicting Mr Beast will end up organizing some Hunger games!
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.
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.
So if this pilot users his new Jet to smuggle more drugs, is Mr Beast an accomplice?
Just a middlebeast.
Welcome to Omelas?
Fuck… I had a thought that ended with that concept, just earlier today. My end-thought was kinda like, “would you walk away from Omelas with me?”
It was a day for me; but what a small (fucked up) world
Who wants to watch any of this crap?
children let loose on an unrestricted internet without familial oversight
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.
