MrBeast is one person who I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if he had some horrible secret, like diddling kids or something equally creepy.

There's something very off about that guy.

Because that's not a smile, he's just showing his teeth. His eyes are dead and joyless... definitely off-putting.

[–] AgentGrimstone 14 points 3 months ago

Some people just don't know how to smile in front of a camera.

Or it's part of their clickbait thumbnail strategy, like how other Youtubers make an obnoxious face because those thumbnails get clicks.

[–] Lotarion 6 points 3 months ago

It's an expression that's optimized to maximize the click through rate of a video. Unfortunately it also looks hideous

At least part of the problem is the stache.

[–] davepleasebehave 1 points 3 months ago

I think it was worse.before facial hair

Been a lot of controversy around him in past weeks. I dont watch him, and while I am a fan of his charity work, it was an interesting read.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

His charity work while mostly good is purposely misleading, makes kids believe all his money for those videos is coming from YouTube/sponsors when I'd wager the majority of it is coming from his branded merch and those that sign up and pay for the chance to be in his videos. Like playing the lottery with extra steps. Could be worse sure, but his base largely doesn't understand how it works.

he also gets huge donations from corporate partners for those, like with the 100 E-bikes given away

[–] Paddzr 4 points 3 months ago

Better than just hoarding the money like everyone else.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 3 points 3 months ago

To produce that kind of continuous soulless content, you usually need to be on a lot of drugs.

[–] feedum_sneedson 1 points 3 months ago

He's just ugly, I think.
