I never bothered to ask and now i’m afraid of being outed as an old for asking.
I don’t know but he appears in my head whenever Attack of the Killer Queen from Deltarune plays.
Ignorance is bliss in respect to this question.
Random streamer that is popular. That’s it. Ignore and move one.
Silvio Santos for gringo zoomers.
Just another rich child man begging for your attention.
I’m curious as to why you say that as he literally used his first sponsorship to pay off his mom’s mortgage and seems to come from an average standard of living.
That, if true, doesn’t invalidate that the guy is rich, immature, and makes a living from attracting people to pay him attention so he gets paid even more money. I said it because that’s what he is.
I get your point now. I interpreted your comment as “he was born rich”. I also didn’t watch the exposé until after I wrote mine.
Who wouldn’t use a lump sum of money to help those closest to them?
@KingThrillgore @asklemmy YouTuber who make money off of throwing money at people to do ridiculous things.
I do not like his content cause it feels like a billionaire playing with the little people for his amusement.My understanding is that he got his start doing extreme challenges himself, so now that he’s got the money, he challenges fans and gives prize payouts. He also still does his own challenges once in a while.
Offtopic, but what does the “map” in your profile means?
I enjoyed a few when I first came across the channel because it reminded me of those shows from decades ago. The ones where someone comes up to you in a toy / electronics store and you have a minute to grab whatever you can for free. That was a fun concept.

However a lot more of the videos feel like this, especially with how well known he is now. I don’t think I’m the target age group regardless.
Can we please avoid all the editorializing in AskLemmy. I came to the comments to see an answer to this question and it’s all comments about what people think about him instead of actually answering the question.
Self proclaimed degenerate (it’s in an interview I saw) pretending to care about people by making squid game a reality.
Some guy who runs illegal lotteries and gambling targeted at children
LA Beast is better
We can scrap the “s” because I never miss a beat
Now you made me curious: Why do you know that someone named “MrBeast” exists and why does it interest you who this person is?
Mr beast is popping up in various internet news circles lately because one of his friends/"co-star"s in his youtube videos was just caught grooming a 12 year old. To make things even worse, Mr beast was aware that this friend of his was pedo for years and continued to make videos with him(her). She recently transitioned last year and that was a minor controversy of its own for Mr beast cause most of his audience is cringey transphobic teens and tweens.
Holy shit…

Yeah I was only vaguely aware of him - popular YT guy with younger folks, did some stunts, etc, not my thing. But this is a rabbit hole that keeps getting more and more disturbing.
He’s this guy that made videos about kids creating bad intros on YouTube.
…
I think he does something else now.
Never seen his videos nor will I
Honestly, no idea.
What I gather from working in retail is that “Mr. Beast” is an incantation that brainwashes children into begging for candy bars they’d normally hate.
