dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead

Just save up that easy $10 mil and retire. It's ok to retire and piss off.

While his free time seems minuscule, the rare times he does pull away from work are for dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.

Holy fuck dude chill out

never gonna feel sympathy for a man who saw "Squid Game" and thought to himself "I can make this real"

he describes his personality as “YouTube.”

That's bleak

lmao he could walk away at any time.

eat shit and die

this human thumbnail could hit the off switch tomorrow, buy his own epstein island, and be left the fuck alone until climate change claims us all, but no, he has to whine about how hard it is to have massive piles of cash thrown at him in exchange for essentially being a game show host, truly he will be the zoomer generation's donald trump, "donaldson" indeed.

he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead

Just think for a minute about how much actual human wellbeing you could buy with a single hour of this dweeb's time, and then tell me about how capitalism is the most efficient way to allocate resources.

Rich people's wealth is wasted on them. They don't know what to do with money other than use it to make even more money. The only rich person I know about who I consider normal is Tom Anderson, the Myspace guy. He made millions then retired and just wanders around the world without any worries. I can relate to that.

Mr Beast has easily 10x the money of Myspace Tom and yet still keeps going, for what? So he can have even more money he won't spend on anything?

Maybe I just have simple tastes, but if I had a 500 million dollar net worth, I'd retire to a self-sufficient climate resilient compound and train communist guerillas to engage in a protracted people's struggle against the United States.

“People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality,”

Yes.

While his free time seems minuscule, the rare times he does pull away from work are for dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.

God fucking damn this guy has enough that he could literally just retire right now, live an upper middle class lifestyle paid for by his savings for the next eighty years and never worry about money ever again, but the capitalism prions are in his head and he just can't stop thinking about money.

rolling over after a passionless 13 minutes, lighting up a cig, "you like that babe? an extra 3 minutes (5000$) just for you"

she rolls her eyes and thinks about how she'll get him killed in a way that the money goes to her

Why does every rich famous person have to have a woe is me article now?

Samsara-maxxing. Just bolted to a wheel of suffering he himself created, and that he can let go of at any time.

If he ever stops for a breather, he says, he gets depressed. MrBeast is so laser-focused on generating content on YouTube that he describes his personality as “YouTube.”

shit that's bleak. now imagine working under him. jesus christ the desire for infinite growth is hollowing out people, collapsing societies and destroying our environment. we should stop that.

He tells viewers that while he employs a sizable percentage of his hometown, he still lives modestly, unlike other rich YouTubers.

Okay this is something I’ve never been quite clear on: how many people/employees does it take to make Mr. Beast happen? I get that it’s a bigger operation than someone just doing “let’s talk about the patch notes for a video game update” kind of videos, but “employs an entire town” seems way bigger than warranted, unless we’re talking about a rather small town.

The rich are all mentally ill.

Absolutely brutal indictment of algorithmic capitalism.

Al-Khwarizmi is probably rolling in his grave that stuff like this is what people are talking about 99% of the time when they mention "the algorithm"

he made the decision to be miserable to make a number that he does not go need to go up, go up. No sympathy.

Byung Chul Han proven right once again. Achievement society of the west is a self-made hell.

Achievement-subjects cannot stop as it is their own volition driving them in a cycle of auto-exploitation.

I actively dislike him and won't watch his shit exploitation of desperate people, he is correct about that.

If viewers don’t really see him having fun, that’s by design. Donaldson has outright said he sees “personality” as a limitation for growth, once noting in a podcast that hinging your content on who you are as a person means risking not being liked. And if someone doesn’t like a creator as a person, they may not give the videos a chance.

I know this isn't really the point but I think he's straight-up wrong on this. Personality is integral if you want people to get attached to your brand or emotionally invested in you as a public figure. A lot of multi-millionaire streamers get by just by watching other people's videos ( <3) without blowing up a walmart every week because they know that viewers what them for them, something which MrBeast is purposely denying himself, it seems. "Parasocial relationship" is the online buzzword of the week for a reason, and you can't have that without displaying your personality.

because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.

for someone i feel like he doesn't really need to worry about missing $100k here and there

“People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality”

Dude’s making me feel well adjusted by comparison

I honestly can't process the mindset of people like this, the lack ambition and imagination is genuinely inhuman

If I had 500 million dollars I'd become the Master of Mankind within 10 years, I'd literally make communist space marines motherfucker, do these people not understand the breadth and depth of resources they have access to, Jesus Christ get a grip

Is this guy stupid? He’s a multi millionaire and he can’t take acting classes to put on a fake persona? Lmao.

I've watched a lot of youtube, but the algorithm has never served me one of his videos in my feed. I really don't know what he does or what type of content he creates. The only thing I know is things my kids tell, and it's all about how much money he has/earns/gives.

Fascinating.

Now line up on the wall.

see! he succeeded! He got the money! don't you want to be like him?

What a fucking freak.
