    By sold well do you mean he bought himself a million copies so it could be said that it sold well?

    That’s the entire fucking streamer house of cards.

    This guy’s floated the idea of running for president in the future.

    Our timeline is truly railed.

      Eh, his reputation is at least built on doing good deeds. Compare that to the current crop of politicians.

      (I don’t watch him, or any videos for that matter, so my only knowledge is as a member of the general public).

        “good deeds” meaning staged charity events, that either dint really pay out, or wasnt really effective. ALot influencers will “i donated to charity” in order to gain more followers.

      its mainly targeted towards gen Alpha audience, stupid gimmicks for a impressionable young audience. also the biggest drama was the LUNCHLY disaster with KSI, paul brother, and another influencer. they made a wierd commercial how “its the best lunchable-like food they ate” and all of them look they had a gun to thier heads.

    A movie about a YouTube star. I wonder what it will reveal. What social statement will it make. How will it show the art of AI sloping your way to a script and a thumbnail.

      And publishers pay people to buy their books so they get on the best seller list.

      And publishers pay ghost writers to write many “celebrity” authored books.

    I didn’t even know he wrote a book.

    Just curious what you don’t like about him.

    I don’t consume any of his content. All I really know about him is he does gameshow things and dug some wells in Africa I think.

    Or maybe that was eye surgery?

    Hell maybe both, I don’t even know.

    Oh and something about his teeth.

    Ah, Mr. Beast… I didn’t know he had a book. I remember his vids. They were algo-hitting “do crazy stuff” survivor-like videos, along with philantrophy vids. Dude’s got issues, but rarely do you get a youtuber that’s super popular and isn’t a problem offscreen.
