started as a YouTuber that did trend videos like “I did the latest trend, but did it BIGGER”
figured out a (very exploitative) formula for maximising viewer retention whilst getting as many sponsorship deals into a video as possible
Became the first YouTube Millionaire
Started amping up this formula by making the challenges shocking and attention grabbing, such as “I PUT 10 PEOPLE IN AN UNLOCKED HOTEL ROOM, LAST TO LEAVE GETS $5 MILLION”
realised he could wash his terrible reputation by occasionally releasing a charity video instead, kept it being exploitative though, his most famous example was “I CURED THE BLINDNESS OF 100 PEOPLE” (all blind because they had treatable, easily, diseases but American Healthcare is so exploitative they couldn’t afford to get the treatment)
Managed to get a TV series called “Beast Games” that’s this but TV
He’s basically everything wrong with YouTube rolled into one person
I barely know who Mr Beast is, I’ve NEVER seen one of his videos, but Publix had one of his candy bars on their Clearance Shelf (I love the Clearance Shelf), and it was really good chocolate, much more like European Chocolate. It was smoother without that vomity alkaline taste that American chocolate has, that we’ve all gotten used to.
It didn’t turn me into a fan, but his chocolate bar was actually really good.
It’s definitely not really good and like European, but it is a step above Hershey. It sits somewhere in the middle. If you found it cheap it was probably a good value.
Very much agree. As a UK bod, American chocolate bars generally taste like poison and smell like sick.
My kids were big fans of Mr Beast when the chocolate bars came out, so of course we had to buy it when we saw it. And honestly, it was actually really good.
Being serious:

You didn’t even mention his terrible chocolate and candy
Ollie’s has Mr. Beast beef jerky. Seems more appropriate.

It was like 75 cents to try it.
Worth it for that for sure.
I waited to try “dubai chocolate” until it made it to the discontinued shelf. I should have waited even longer.

Ooh yeah true I did
