Dead eyes...like a doll's eyes.

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 hour ago

A person that made their entire brand and fortune off of having large amounts of wealth to throw around?

I am shocked I tell you, shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 2 points 57 minutes ago

He's a rich psychopath. Throw him in with the rest.

[-] Jagothaciv@kbin.earth 20 points 4 hours ago

Jimmy is a self described DEGENERATE. He says it WITH PRIDE. Do research on your “heroes”. They’re shit. Check his early interviews. AND he brands with KSI, another fucking scum bag.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 40 points 4 hours ago

So, you're not wrong, but why did you write that like a FB boomer talking about Obama?

BECAUSE this is the ONLY way to TEACH real people the TRUTH about {[them]}!!!

1 like = 1 prayer

hope you and the kids are well Gerald has hemroids xoxoxo

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 hours ago

He’s a victim of his own success. He’s really good at gaming the YouTube algorithm and thinks that means he’ll be good at other things where he is definitely not an expert.

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 39 points 5 hours ago

I still don't know who this cuck is besides a YouTube star that got rich off kids whose parents babysit them with tablets. How anyone can stand looking at the guys face or hear him talking is beyond me. His face just oozes sociopath / narcissist.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 hours ago

One thing about him I saw in a Lemmy comment a couple months back, is that in every picture of him smiling, if you hide his mouth you're left with his lifeless eyes, it's like he was told how you're supposed to smile when you're cheerful so he goes through the motions but he's not entirely sure what the point is. It works with all the pictures of him I came across since then, including the thumbnail of this post.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 8 points 4 hours ago

Tbf smiling on command is hard.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 hours ago

Sure, but in every picture? Including some where he's supposed to actually have fun?

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 10 points 4 hours ago

He is a narcissist of the highest order. Exploited kids with illegal and rigged lotteries.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

His early videos, clips I’ve seen in videos about him, show he’s a weird sociopath.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 3 hours ago

No, you nailed it.

i like my cheese moldy bruh

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 98 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Every billionaire is a policy failure, whether they're a company owner, dictator, or streamer; they're all needlessly hoarding wealth, harming us all. If you have more money than you could ever spend while people freeze and starve in the street, you are part of the problem and a bad person...

TIL Mr Beast is a billionaire.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

TBF, estimates are slightly lower than 1B, but he does reportedly earn $700,000,000. Every year...

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

But he creates jobs! (that are extremely exploitative and past borderline abusive)

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago

B-b-b-but he gives some of it back! Something something effective altruism 🫠

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

This guy has that elon musk syndrome where he doesn't know shit about logistics, especially specifics of the industries he tripped over his money into and assumes he can just throw cash at every idea he half bakes and everything will work out.

[-] vxx@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I don't think the stuff would be molding 2 months before the best before date if he threw money at it. It's a sign he cheaped out and is producing the stuff in an unhygienic facility.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 9 points 6 hours ago

Given what happened with Mr Beast Burgers, he seems to pick the cheap option all the time.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 102 points 8 hours ago

No one with as much money as he has is a good person.

He's basically just doing ethical bumfights, exploiting the victims of capitalism for YouTube views and thereby increasing his own wealth further.

[-] kava@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago

it's an interesting moral question

if i give someone money and that alleviates their poverty, is that an ethical action? i think so. you are eliminating harm by reducing hunger, providing shelter, etc.

if i give someone money and that alleviates their poverty, but i do it for my own personal gain, is that an ethical action? you are still eliminating harm but you are doing it for an amoral reason.

ethical action, amoral motivation

then there's the perspective of by taking advantage of this individual, you are doing your part in perpetuating an unjust system. you are playing the role of the opiate of the masses. distracting and comforting those who are at the bottom of the pyramid.

having said all that, i think it's still more ethical than bumfights. although i couldn't tell you if it was ethical or not by its own

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

Defining ethics is a question as old as philosophy itself.

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Based on some interviews there is nothing ethical about what this guy is doing. Based on one case I think he should be in jail

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The sleep deprivation guy seemed like he could have a lawsuit against Mr. Beast. At least based on what he was saying, it sounded like what they did to him should have been illegal

they're delivering perishables through the mail.

anyone working last mile deliveries can tell you that it's a miracle the mail is delivered at all.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 56 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

This guy is a giant turd with googly eyes slapped on it.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago

He does not smile with his eyes and I find that unsettling.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Dead eyes, like a dolls eyes.

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Doesn’t seem to be livin,’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then...

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago

It's a sociopath thing.

Yeah, if you hold up your hand to cover the lower-half of his face, it's a different expression entirely.

Googly eyes look more alive and soulful than he does by a long shot.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 27 points 8 hours ago

He's basically clickbait distilled into human form. If people stop paying attention to him he'll wither and die

I've never even watched anything this guy has done. For a long time I didn't even know who he was when I saw stories about him. Between him and the Paul's idk what they are even famous for but I know they are pieces of shit

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago

The mold holds extra nutrients.

I wish I could go back two years and tell myself that soon everyone will hate this bucky asshole as much as I do.
