the absolute blessing of never seeing Mr. Beast's face whenever I am signed in.
And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that's supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!
I didn't even know who he was until recently. I don't even understand why he's popular.
His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he's still... I have no idea. I don't know anyone who watches him. It can't just be kids.
You underestimate kids and their amount free time.
but someone's buying all the merch
That’s the kids parents for their kids.
I didn't mean to imply it's all kids. Just that they can be the majority. Regardless, parents buy stuff for their kids all the time. You think adults are buying tons of hot wheels and barbies for themselves?
As a childless millennial, yes.
You underestimate kids' ability to manipulate their parents to buy things
but someone keeps taking a dump on his lawn every morning.
I'm a grown ass man and love his videos because they're light-hearted and generally wholesome. Like where he rescued 100 dogs from kill shelters and helped get them adopted. But some of the more recent ones are just wasteful or dumb.
Why exactly can’t it just be kids?
I think Roblox has more adult players than Mr. Beast has adult viewers
Fast paced editing and the novel experiences possible by being rich
Children
I don't watch him or any top YouTubers, but many other clickbait thumbnails are far worse and more annoying with their shocked "YouTube face"...
