The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico.
What a headline, what an article.
ah yes, mr beast, the world renowned humanitarian
He has genuinely given a ton of money to charity, to be fair.
He puts himself first with his charitable exploitation porn. I’m sure he deserves to be a billionaire.
Only less than the profit he made. He’s also a fraudster and abuser and deserves to be in jail.
The sweepstakes fraud is just… Rampant. I’m surprised he’s gotten away with it for so long.
That’s why they target children.
Children can’t tell when they’re being scammed
What the absolute FUCK
Citizens: please give us healthcare or infrastructure or education or help the homeless…
Gov’t: m i s t o r b e e s t
Do you want health care? All you need to do is make it through this obstacle course.
That is kind of the gist of basic training though… And the military has free healthcare…
Can anyone explain Mr. beast to me, and what his appeal is?
He and his team figured out the YouTube algorithm. He then took the money and spend it back on production. Because there are no guidelines or regulations of YouTube videos production, he is able to use any ethical or non-ethical tactics. His videos is treated like a high budget movie where every second count.
Companies sees his money and everyone want to get piece of the cacke so he is more visible to demographic outside of his target audience.
He also invests a lot in localisation which makes his videos appealing to non western audiences.
He’s a bucky little fuck with dead eyes and a forced smile who practices philanthropy for clout, but up until recently you couldn’t criticize him because of the philanthropy – even when pointing out that said philanthropy is weird and immoral when it’s only being done for fame and self-promotion. Due to this paradox, he had everyone in a sort of stalemate. Fortunately, a lot has since come out about him being a sociopathic piece of human shit, so now we can kick him while he’s down.

Guess my boy’s been bouncin’ on it too hard.
Things like surviving in a nuclear bunker, surviving stranded on an island appeals to the imagination of kids. The only difference is that he actually* does it.
*As real as a realityshow, but it’s a big difference with the usual clickbait.
Oh. I thought he had a kids’ show. That shit appeals to MY imagination. He really does those things? Not that it matters; I can’t stand looking at his face.
Yes, I have no clue how he gets his videos budget but it somehow works out. I have only seen a few videos because the way it’s presented, the constant shouting, and the over the top video effects have prevented me from enjoying them.
I did watch a recent video from Jeff Geerling in which he helped to set up the stage for a game, it was quite interesting to have a look behind the scenes.
Money a lot of money that’s the appeal
MrBeast doesn’t need it.
I suspect the other two don’t either
Finally, my tax dollars going to things I want!
Flavortown does not need foreign aid.
And yet of those listed this is a close to not a bad idea they got.
Flavortown being the least bad is still funny though.
