I don't care so much about the dumb brain melting. However, what MrBeast and other youtubers do is exploitative to their audiences (which in the case of MrBeast skews young).

It's not great to see young kids addicted to content designed primarily to rob them of their money with false claims of success. "Oh, if you send me money, buy my shit, or subscribe to my channel, you could win millions of dollars!"

That sort of exploitative media should be illegal (and in the case of MrBeast appears to be illegal in some cases).

We really are very susceptible to living in "default mode".

Why even make this comment?
