Mr beast has so much money that you could live in that room for years and not put a dent in his pocketbook
someone on twitter said what he does is akin to legal bum fights, and I think thats apt
I watched that DVD back in the day. False advertising! There was exactly one bum fight, and it lasted for all of 30 seconds. The only "fights" in the video were people getting beaten in to gangs (initiation rituals). Minorities, obviously.
And he's figured out that he can make even more money than he gives away by making it a whole fuckin spectacle and further exploiting and degrading poor people for entertainment.
there was a roman emperor who would throw money sometimes but snakes other times into the crowds
"trick or treat!" i yell, throwing either a snake or a coin into a crowd
He’s like any Rockefeller-brained rich fuck: he likes to throw shiny dimes into the street because it’s entertaining for him to watch the rabble dive for it.
what's worse, is the rabble thank him for the crumbs off his table
Except doesn't he mostly throw the money to influencers, who, while not as rich as him, aren't usually poor?
Live there exactly long enough for it to be considered a legal residence. Start getting mail, get your ID changed, the works.
Then Fuck the place up, just really go to town. Carve sigils in the wood, piss in the new bathroom corner, set up prison lighters in all the outlets, start making shrimshaw crafts out of the wall tiles, order live invasive insects and mold spores. Go full goblin on his ass.
Use the stashed cash from living there to hire an attorney to stall eviction proceedings as long as you can.
In the video, they fuck it up anyways. Seems more like a video about his friend proposing with the money as an afterthought.
Go full goblin on his ass.
That's a really nasty way of being racist, friend.
[he made sure to clean up his "image" after he became famous (CW homophobia)
Sponsorships plus the money from YouTube.
I have watched a few interviews with the guy, and he's pretty transparent about his business model. He seems like a person who is basically completely obsessed with being successful on YouTube.

he also explains in a video he did with veritasium, a science channel, how you can "drive engagement" by continuously changing the titles/thumbnails of your videos after you upload them, in order to get people to accidentally click them twice, thinking it's a new video, while also getting people who were uninterested in the original title/thumbnail to click the new title/thumbnail.

What if I paid you $10k a day to live in this man's head. No? You're walking away? You're filing a restraining order? You're sicking wild dogs on me?
There's gotta be some catch right? Like he starts setting off the fire alarm at random intervals all day and night
he takes away 1 item a day. after a few weeks all you have left is a bed, and i don't think you're allowed internet access or to leave so you're totally isolated. but that's still totally worth it for at least a week. (i didn't watch the video, this is just what i've been told.)
Bro I'd make him broke. As long as I'm fed and watered I can keep going for at least a month with that much space to move around.
I'd make more in a week then I do in a year. And I'd be more entertained.
He has no idea how little poor people have to live on, does he?
I did watch the video after this and you're right, he also hard limited it to 100 days and ended up doing prop bets the whole time meaning the dude who was in there got like an extra $110k for shit like smashing a guitar and letting another dude spend a day with him and be annoying.
I dunno. This is basically solitary confinement. People generally don't deal well with it.
Lmao, this is nothing like solitary. Solitary doesn't have anything in the room and is literally designed to make you go insane. It's a form of torture that can fuck you up for life to the point where it's considered cruel and unusual punishment in some places.
In comparison, you could play basketball all day in here and literally have a vacation. Sounds like I'm nitpicking but I get a little miffed when people underplay how fucked up real solitary is.
Someone downthread explained that the idea is that the guy is going to take away one thing a day, so it's basically a slow-onset solitary.
Also, supposedly you're allowed to read books in solitary, but we all know how the prison plays fast and loose with those rules.
You misunderestimate just how many people out there absolutely have to blab to others all day. If they don't have it, even for a little while, they feel dead inside. It's a real need. Remember during lockdown how many of them were crying that because they couldn't go in to the office they had been deprived of their human rights?
Honestly, I don't think we teach people enough about how to handle being alone or how to handle unexpectedly not having a routine. It's important that we as a society are prepared for these kinds of things and that those who have these issues to be cared for.

I'm sure there are a few extroverts who would end up hanging themselves from the basketball hoop if they had to spend more than a few hours on here.
But I think you're under-counting hermits, misanthropes, and the clinically depressed - people who would be, at the least, no worse off than they are now and possibly even genuinely happy to just kinda piss away a month in a room fucking around.
I mean, consider that this is far more luxurious than what any astronaut could ask for, and people can spend six-months to a year on the ISS.
i have once lived in a bare box alone for like 10 years with only a computer and myself to keep company. basically solitary confinement almost. one time i was really messed up mentally and basically sat in one place for 3 months only moving to get up and poop or eat a nutritional bar. completely in my own head staring at a wall the rest of the time
my living arrangements are still spartan. this shit would be a piece of cake
I see exercise, a medium for artistic expression, pool, and a bed, that's already more than what's in my apartment
There is not enough money in the world that you could offer me to have to interact with Mr. Be*st
