I’ve avoided his content because something about him just creeped me out. After several years, I think I’ve finally pinpointed it: he doesn’t smile with his eyes. It makes his grin seem cold and emotionless, like a sociopath trying to blend in.
I am always wary of people like him and, over time, I found out that my instinct was once again correct.
This is why you cannot rely on philanthropy to make the world a better place. Also, this guy who is supposedly trying to improve the world is partnering with Samsung according to the article.

When I was younger I watched him a bit in his early days.
And whetever the “philanthropy” side sounded cool but most of his videos were massive wastes and pollution.
Like he’d destroy someone’s house and buy them a new better one. Or dumb stuff like that.
I had never heard of this person before a few days ago.
I’ve heard of him for years and have ignored him from the start. He always just seemed like a giant douche canoe.
I think douchecanoe is technically one word
I want to pronounce it “doosh-kay-noh”, like volcano.
EDIT: just realised that posting while drowsy leads to spelling mistakes.
Fuck, now I can’t unsee this.
Look at this douchecanoe sailing up in his douche canoe.
Yeah you don’t want a hole in your douchecanoe.
Nice. Am on mobile though.
It’s still one word even on mobile.
The article says he’s gained three million new subscribers since this has started.
Some of them are bound to be hatewatchers. Nothing to get people subscribing to your channel like controversy.
How many are bots?
This seems like a run of the mill news attempt at controversy for attention. None of the “controversies” mentioned are particularly egregious. I don’t think Mr beast needs me to defend him but the reactions to this seem way more extreme than the problems themselves.
How many of us know all of our friends and colleagues well ebough to know every dirty secret they have? If one of my friends were a pedophile but kept it well hidden, how am I to be held responsible for their actions when I didn’t know?
An inexperienced production crew doesn’t provide the best working conditions for a reality and stunt show? Color me surprised. Television has had shows that put people in danger for years, even from very experienced crews.
I know just about every one of us likely did or said something that was really, really stupid when we were teens. Turns out teenagers don’t have fully developed brains and don’t make the best decisions. Holding someone accountable for saying something dumb as a child, that they have publically apologized for later, seems like people going out of their way to find fault.
