    Dan olsen put out an excellent video essay about him and his “empire” after he was bizarrely invited to their HQ.

    If you dont know Dan, he mainly publishes infrequent thought provoking videos into cults, scams, and culture, which is basically the opposite of Mr. Beast content.

    He posted this video for a reason.

      Just watched this last night. Ironically, I kept skipping over it because of the thumbnail of a grumpy Dan. Then there was the part of the video of the Mr Beast production team thinking of the thumbnail first then making the video from the thumbnail. It’s a concept so counter intuitive and yet encapsulated the whole Mr Beast thing so well.
