    MrBeast before 2024. Everyone seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about the guy’s content and I don’t recall him attracting too much drama before the Dawson situation.

    Which is something I just couldn’t compell. A guy who’s content is so extremely materialistic became a symbol of le reddit wholesomeness. Basically all his content is just him being a feudal lord sitting on a high horse, throwing money at peasants performing humiliating acts to his amusement.

    Fucking disgusting.

          Wym? I absolutely agree his vids are too materialistic but Lets not act like he did bad stuff only, especially compared to other influencers like jake paul, tana mongue etc. He invested in sea cleanup and planting trees and paid surgeries for dozens of people. Im Not saying he’s a saint but he’s literally not that bad?? Sure Not everything he did was effective but he sure did more than most people in his Position do/would

        I remember coming across him way before he was famous, when he was just keeping x amount of fidget spinners going for 24 hours and whatnot, and my first thought about him ever was “there is nothing behind those eyes”.

        I hadn’t even heard of him until he did that Fortnite collab but he instantly gives off creepy vibes. He seems extremely fake.
