Comment on 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

  What’s more I’ve never once seen a Mr beast video.

  And nothing of value was lost.

    Yeah “Mr Beast Burger” is a great example of this. He hired a company known for shitty “virtual” restaurants (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Dining_Concepts) to slap his name on a ton of franchises to capitalize on his YouTube popularity and get kids to beg their parents to eat there

    And now they’re both suing each other

    They both deserve each other

      I don’t even mind the concept of a ghost kitchen, if you don’t want to manage a front of house, fuck it, do pickup and delivery only like so many pizza places do, that’s fine, but just like everything else it gets labor exploited to benefit the owner class by running a dozen “restaurants” out of the same kitchen

        There are no “rate limiters” in these kinds of kitchens, either. You can literally have 100 people all order over the internet within 10 seconds of each other, and now all of them expect their orders to be ready in a timely manner. Not fucking happening, you know?

        Internet ordering is fucking ruining restaurants and overworking everyone in them.

        Oh yeah I don’t mind the concept, I mind this company specifically, it’s pretty clear their whole schpiel is to take some celebrity name and slap it on some shitty food to drive out based sales

      People who quickly turn to lawsuits care about one thing only: money.

    that’s what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.

    Why until his channel is gone? If he’s a business, we need to tax him and his business appropriately. More, sure. But taxing a business until it’s gone is counterproductive, even if you don’t like what the business stands for…

      His “business” is a charity. Charity shouldn’t have to exist in a world with enough wealth to support everyone.

      If his channel became something else, sure. But the point is he would be taxed until all those problems he “fixes” are solved, and then he wouldn’t have much to put on his channel, would he?

  I’ve had a much more enjoyable time on freetube because of this, actually. unlike youtube who feeds you content based on what makes them the most money, it tends to actually show you videos that are relevant to what you’re watching. whether it has millions of views or 100.

  it feels like the smaller communities are a little more warm and fun.
