Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

the fucked up thing is that it's almost true, there's a level of wealth where people are generally optimally happy. Look at people who get enough money to buy a house and comfortably retire early on without needing to worry about affording normal things again, something like that is peak contentment in life.
I sincerely do not understand why a mentally healthy person would ever want a to be richer than that, it means you have to do a bunch of publicity shit and other miserable stuff and it doesn't really benefit you much.
Broken people can't afford a house... they are happy if they get through the month with +-0.
This feels like its taken out of context
But he also said dumb things like the youtube algorithm being perfect so maybe its not taken out of context
Life is much simpler being a regular middle class kid living with your parents than an adult millionaire everyone knows and expects money from. He never knew what actually being broke and responsible for yourself or a family as an adult was.
Ha. He told us he's never been broke without telling us he's never been broke.
if it's so much easier then just give away every penny why dontcha? oh he only 'gives' for content
He gives for profit.
He could sell all his assets, purchase a middle class house in cash, and probably retire and have absolutely nothing to do if he wanted to and be set for life
This guy can go fuck himself
Even if I were being charitable to say what he meant was not being famous is easier, it's still such a backhanded remark to make - I'd rather deal with the problems of fame than the looming threat of the poverty line any day of the week.
The thing is, in this age, fame is a choice (to those it is given to). He has enough money to retire into obscurity, living a simple life of comfort. He chooses not not to.
What he means is it would be a lot easier for him to have adult conversations with underage children on the internet if everyone wasn't always watching him. How's he going to buy and hang cartoon CP on the walls if he's poor though?
Where I'm from, if you're evicted at any time during the 9-10 months of winter you'll probably die unless you find another place in time which can be incredibly difficult and risky depending on why you were evicted.
Learning about idol scenes and how hardcore it is to be an idol makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I somehow find Mr Beast to be a fish worth this ocean. He's somehow uniquely compatible with what youtube wants now, and I doubt it's stirs him wrong. In my mind, he echoes what other creators feel about all that bs.
Well you know what they say: mo money, mo problems.
Which can be extrapolated to no money, no problems. Right?
Right???
Real "Marie Antoinette having an entire fake rustic village built to pretend to be a peasant for a day" energy.
Honestly less relatable even than that. At least Marie Antoinette had very little contact to the outside world, so her sheltered life makes sense. Mr. Beast has no such excuse.
Top tier punchable face
Quick, let's help him out! Take all his money to make his life easier!
I think Good Charlotte published a how to guide a few years ago
"Living is so much easier when you've been stabbed 37 times"
A man after my own shiv
37... In a row???
"ah yes there goes Sisyphus rolling his solid gold boulder up his hill, that he owns btw.."
Sisyphus was a king so this is probably accurate
The only thing making his life difficult is his constant need for attention
Literally this. He could retire comfortably at literally any time. He's choosing not to.
This is why he keeps running his crypto scams. He's hoping that will lose him money so he can be poor again.
Nope, not at all. He wants all of us to be broke, and therefore live on easy mode. A true altruist if ever there's been one.
lol. This is exactly what rich people say. I take it this guy's a millionaire ?
Its not the money that makes it harder its the being known by everyone. But having too much money can be more of a burden in theory. (I'll let you know when I make it if its that bad chat.)
Hey, isn't that one of the five guys? Or is it a different Nathan?
