Its so validating to be right about Mr Beast. My sixth sense about people is never wrong. Now I'm just waiting for Louis Rossman to be outted for something too.
What's wrong with Louie?
He can be a bit petite bourgeoisie. Other than that, he's a stand up guy who doesn't have to worry about YouTube demonitizing his videos so he can say whatever the hell he fucking pleases.
Well.. he was doing ok in NYC for a while, and that's a tough gig. I'd call him a petite bourgeoisie if we're talking about the actual definition of the word lol.
If we're taking about his chutzpah, giving a billion dollar company the figure on the regular, that's just the NYC mentality. The social stratum in the city can be very strange, for ex living in the building next to trump himself, but knowing he's completely divorced from the realities of a regular guy.
We might be from the same city, but some of us are new yorkers, some of us merely do business there.
Ahh, the days where something was "a billion dollar industry" or a "billion dollar company" was big.
The company he's constantly giving the finger to, is more of a trillion dollar company now.
That's exactly what I mean.
There's several videos where he's effectively saying capitalism is great, and all companies need to do is be a good employer and treat their customers well. And I'll even say that by all accounts, he is a pretty good employer and his company does good work. There's also reasons he's an exception, not the rule, and expecting the rest of capitalism to fall in line is untenable.
