How is he simultaneously so famous and yet no one knows who he is? I feel more people would know who Linus is than him. Until about a year ago I'd never even heard the name.

I’ve never watched a Mr Beast video but it sounds like he makes a lot of content that would mainly appeal to zoomers which explain his apparent high popularity but low cultural impact

Mr Beast and Skibidi toilet are two things that are viewed by millions upon millions, I've never watched them and neither have ever been recommended to me by youtube.

Felt like I was taking crazy pills for a while, but now I just consider myself lucky.
