58 - Jimmy Beast

this episode contains spoilers for the recent season of black mirror

In today’s episode, we take a look at MR. BEAST - Social Media Influencer and Philanthropist, famous for his giveaway videos, but also, famous for a ghost kitchen burger, and a chocolate bar that’s “okay, i guess”

But it’s time, I try and dissect everything, what is his deal? Is he just a lucky boy that just had rich parents? (No, just basic suburban white dude)? Did he come PewDiePie (thankfully no, he became bigger). And where exactly is this money coming from (Crypto, Adsense, Merch, and all these business ventures he does)

In one hand, oh no, he films people getting medical stuff for the youtube clout, but at the other hand - television has been milking that since the 1950s with “Queen for a Day”. In today’s video, we go for bat for Jimmy and Mr. Beast - we talk about how many of his challenges are just Radio “Touch the Truck” contests but for a YouTube age.

And we talk about a group of people who are worse than Mr. Beast - the copycats! (and the family copycat channels, that are also awful)
