His audience is mostly kids yes but not all of them.
His content can and is too annoying for a lot of people and that’s fine but it’s also entertaining to a lot of other people. I’m sure that you’ve had the situation where the most famous band, sport, food etc isn’t something you like. And that’s totally ok. It turns out we kind like different things. I’d argue it’s a good thing.
Also people severely underestimate him just because they don’t like his content or for some other reason. Pretty much every big YouTuber will agree that he is extremely good and optimizing the algorithm and that’s not an easy thing. If it were everyone would be doing it and the truth is that not a lot of people get close to his success.
Some of his videos are just for shits and giggles but a lot of them in does give a ton of money to people in need. Some people dislike that he does this for his channel and don’t like him for it. However the truth is that in the end he gave more money to people in need than everyone in this comment section combined.
I mean yes but isn’t that being extremely pedantic?
Take Mr Beast or an hypothetical example. Give 1M to strangers in need, record it, upload it to YouTube make 4M on ads and other sponsors (content is still free). Pocket 2M, make second video where he gives 2M to other strangers in need. Record it, upload it to YouTube etc etc
Now I agree with you, philosophically it’s best to give without expecting or earning anything in return. But is that really the best outcome? Isn’t it actually arguably better to publicize it and with it reach and help way more people?
For me the answer is clear. I’d rather have someone record and even make money of this type of content (as long as there’s no exploitation or slimy shit) than have that same someone not do that and instead only help a fraction of the people. I’ll argue that the people being helped don’t give a crap about it, so it feels a bit patronizing to say that they shouldn’t be helped because of X or Y
This isn’t specific to Mr Beast, I don’t even know the details of the recent scandal. I just see this argument everywhere and I feel it’s very naive
Can you name the chapter specifically? I guess it will spoil a lot of the first book no?
Not to defend the democrats too much but even if they do it, the SCOTUS is heavily biased against them which means that they would get heavily punished.
Also at the least the liberal wing of the SCOTUS voted against this, unlike the republican appointed judges.
So there’s clearly one side pushing for this and one trying to prevent it.
You wrote all of that and left out the one in the picture
It’s a zip up hoodie
Other than the fact that it’s an octopus that managed to survive and thrive in outer space, yes.
Really? I’m reading Red Mars and while it’s interesting af it’s kinda hard to get through it.
I like that it’s very clearly well thought out, and he goes into detail on so many things that I wouldn’t even consider, but sometimes it feels like I’m reading Wikipedia and not an actual novel. If that makes any sense.
If you liked the Martian you will love that one. I 100% recommend it
He’s very much not liked in the lock picking community.
Not only does he push his overpriced tools a lot, most of them are very much not needed. He also puts a lot of focus on specialized car lock picking tools which are expensive at, made for each brand basically, and in a very dubious grey area which is a big no no in that “sport”.
From a purist side there are also a lot of complaints.
That sounds good in theory but with layoffs you tend to at least aim to let the worst employees go. With resignations you have literally the opposite. The best people are the ones that will go and the best ones will go first as they can and will find a new job more easily.
Not saying that they don’t do it for that reason but sometimes (and I’d say most times) people are just incompetent and do stupid shit like this.
The rule I use is anything that goes between you and the ground. A bike helmet fits that category.
It can go from great to absolute junk.
But sometimes I need some weird terminal command and it’s weirdly good at it.
Also I get a buddy that can put log messages like “AAAAAAAA” all over the place so at least I don’t go crazy on my own
90%+ of the population does not fall into that category though.
You know you can sleep at night and work during the day right?
Also napping isn’t sleeping for 8 hours.
You (and a lot of people tbf) need caffeine to stay awake mostly because your body gets used to it and then can’t function without it. Plenty of people do just fine without caffeine or other substances. It’s not magic and we’re not super humans or anything. We just don’t drink caffeine multiple times a day every day
I mean even if they aren’t your thing you should check out his videos.
I remember watching a 20 or so min video on an antique toaster and since then I’m also pissed at the inferior toasters of today.
His videos are gold.
I’m sort of new to lent, how do I save this comment??
This is posts per day? The image makes it seem like so, the title not so much. 1 million posts per day and growing is a huge thing if so
Ok I guess
But ChatGPT is way too polite for such a comment
