I thought it was a joke also, until Mr. Beast snacks started showing up in my supermarket.
Which I took as yet another sign we're in the bad timeline.

I've never seen one, but every time I see this guy mentioned, it's not in a positive light
It's mostly kids, ain't it?
Yup. My nephew loves Mr Beast and I can't figure out how to save his soul without insulting his parents.
Eh, go for it. They're adults, they can handle it.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Some adults are merely adults physically.
Probably need it, too
My girlfriend's son is 12. I can confirm that people watch Mr. Beast videos.
I've never seen one of his videos. Back when I first heard of what he does, I thought it was some kind of satirical social commentary where everyone that participated did so as part of that goal. Later I learned that it's all seriously real, and that blew my mind. He disgusts me.
The next gen are going to be mentally stunted
Many of the younger ones talk like youtubers or streamers, and make one-sided comments to their nonexistent "Chat" in real life. It's a total mindset for millions of em
Chat. Teenagers acting like they have an invisible audience was a common phase in development way before live-streaming. But Chat, live-streaming made it way worse coz it feels normal, and relatable, so it's worse now, and they are taking longer to grow out of it. Chat.
Those are not "people".
Ok let's not stoop to dehumanization.
I have not yet begun to stoop
The Squid Game one is fascinating from an organization and planning perspective and I loved seeing BTS of how it was put together on such short notice.
Around 3 years ago or so the vibes of the videos started to feel off, and the content all started to feel the same, so I dropped checking out new videos.
They are not real people, only up to 12 yo.

"People" are stupid.
