The YouTuber was buried in criticism after announcing the AI tool, which he said "literally feels like cheating."

      It is, he gave stuff away, but was sponsored or he was still making bank. There are so many selfless people out there, but he is not one of them.

        While I agree with Mr Beast being a scam, I do have to take issue with your definition

        Being sponsored and making bank would be key to a sustainable cause if he were genuine about it.

        Of course he’s not, but the monetisation isn’t what we should demonise

      maybe I’m cynical, but he always gave me the wrong vibes.

      like I’m waiting for the revelation that he did something terrible.

      I get the same vibes from blippy, I hated when my ex let my kids watch it in unlimited autoplay.

            It’s not like the threshold for being bad is as high as hurting children lol. You can still be a bad person even if you’re not diddling minors lol.

                I’m not saying Blippi hasn’t done anything (I don’t even know what the allegations are), I’m just saying even if Beast didn’t diddle children he’s still bad.

                  there’s no allegations against blippy.

                  he just creeps me out so much.

        Didn’t that already happened? Like his ex employees coming out and talking about bad or missing payments and about the setup of his games being biased. It’s been a while so I don’t quite recall the details.

      He’s a pretty empty shell of a person I think. There was a yt vid about his tv show being idiotic and that he just doesn’t understand being funny or entertaining and thus does his weird money things

        If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

      Even his face is a scam. I’ve never seen anyone whose entire facial expression looks like a constant veneer, barely hiding how he only sees others as an opportunity for exploitation. It’s uncanny.

        It’s his eyes. He smiles but if you cover the bottom half of his face, all traces of a happy or pleasant look from the smiling disappears. A genuine smile also makes the eyes “smile”.

            Can we not equate ketamine with sociopathic losers?

            Ketamine doesn’t make you a piece of shit.
