And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that’s supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!
His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he’s still… I have no idea. I don’t know anyone who watches him. It can’t just be kids.
I didn’t mean to imply it’s all kids. Just that they can be the majority. Regardless, parents buy stuff for their kids all the time. You think adults are buying tons of hot wheels and barbies for themselves?
I’m a grown ass man and love his videos because they’re light-hearted and generally wholesome. Like where he rescued 100 dogs from kill shelters and helped get them adopted. But some of the more recent ones are just wasteful or dumb.
Roblox has completed its long-awaited direct listing on the NYSE, with shares closing at $69.47 for a fully diluted value of $45.3 billion—a gargantuan valuation for a video game company that rose to prominence and saw massive growth during the pandemic
I like how they actually removed suggestions on the home page on the first time you visit logged out. I never click on anything on the home page suggestions and most of the stuff there is garbage, so it’s actually refreshing just to see a blank home page.

I started getting a shitload of recommended videos based off an app I played for 5 minutes and deleted.
I never looked it up on youtube or google, and I didn’t even search for it in the play store, I just saw it listed as similar to a different game that I did look up.
And after a week of constantly telling them to stop recommending me these videos because I don’t like them, I’m still seeing them.
Again, played the app for a few minutes and deleted, have now spent more time telling youtube to stop showing it to me than I spent playing.

I didn’t even know who he was until recently. I don’t even understand why he’s popular.

You underestimate kids and their amount free time.

That’s the kids parents for their kids.

You underestimate kids’ ability to manipulate their parents to buy things
but someone keeps taking a dump on his lawn every morning.

Why exactly can’t it just be kids?
I think Roblox has more adult players than Mr. Beast has adult viewers
Fast paced editing and the novel experiences possible by being rich
Children
I don’t watch him or any top YouTubers, but many other clickbait thumbnails are far worse and more annoying with their shocked “YouTube face”…
