I may be the only one who has never seen any of MrBeast's video. I looked at some of his videos on youtube, and interestingly, they are overdubbed in my native language (French). Quality is so so though.

Your not the only one, my son says he get's all his info from yt, Mr Beast never got a click from me.

My kids watch it. I know some people have mixed feelings about him, but honestly, I don't really see the problem. There's far worse crap on TV, and every now and then, he's really helping people who need it, so I'm fine with it.

Same. I'm very cynical and suspicious about most of the YTers, he seems like he's a decent dude just trying to run a business making entertaining videos. His LinkedIn posts are interesting, he seems like he's enjoying hacking the YT algorithms to make the most money.

He steps into 'problematic' occasionally with the 'make people do things for money' but generally it's all pretty inoffensive fun.

Kinda guy to watch Squid Game and completely and utterly miss the point.

But then so did Netflix so who knows.

So did absolutely everybody. Or maybe they initially did get the point, but then decided: but hey! games are fun!

> get's

Apostrophe mistreatment is spreading :(

He used to have multiple YouTube channels in different languages for the same content.
