  • X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad

  • My issue with the hate he gets is he seems to get raked over the coals more than people giving away nothing because he's "exploiting" people to fund it. Im just so sick of people jumping on even slight improvement over the status quo because they expect perfection from anybody trying to do any good. Theres a reason everything is being enshittified. Theres no reason people benefitting from the system have to even slightly improve it because every idealist who probably hasn't done shit to improve the world will be there waggling their finger.

  • Don't let ideals get in the way of good. While what you say is true, he could literally help no one if he hadn't followed this business model. He wouldn't have the cash. His videos bring in more cash which can help more people. Yes he makes money too but its more distasteful to me to be someone like you who prefers less people get help if someone else profits from it than it is to be someone like him who helps more people than you are and also makes money from it.

    A bit rich for you to be saying his way is wrong when you probably haven't ponyed up your own cash to help even a fraction of the people. The world you want to exist does not. Everything has a cost. Id rather people do some good in exchange for that cost than wish everyone did everything for free which incentivizes no one to do anything.

    I don't watch him. His videos don't really appeal for me but I recognize the good that can be done in such a format.

    How do I train my cat to not constantly meow while I'm preparing his food?

  • I have 2 cats. One yells and one does not. The one that yells previously had food insecurity so her behavior is unsurprising. Its how she is. Ive tried waiting to feed her until she stops but its ineffective. She stops after a while but does it again next time. Ive accepted its just how she is and occasionally poke fun at her to lighten myself up. Some are just like that. Id rather my cats bother the hell out me than not because I know they trust and care about me.

    The cat who doesn't yell takes the opposite approach. He rubs up against me and gets extra purry and friendly. He prefers trying to get me to do his bidding with honey instead of vinegar.
