It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead
Just save up that easy $10 mil and retire. It's ok to retire and piss off.
But…but what if I encounter someone who’s worth eleven million dollars???
Idea: due to capital tending to concentrate anyway, we should just institute Highlander rules for anyone with a net worth over say $2M. There can be only one.
The implication here is that he is so hollowed out by the whole thing that if he tries to step away he will simply collapse inward on himself and then crumble into dust
While his free time seems minuscule, the rare times he does pull away from work are for dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.
Holy fuck dude chill out
never gonna feel sympathy for a man who saw "Squid Game" and thought to himself "I can make this real"
he describes his personality as “YouTube.”
That's bleak
Something something the worker reduced to a commodity something something becoming more worthless the more they produce 
this human thumbnail could hit the off switch tomorrow, buy his own epstein island, and be left the fuck alone until climate change claims us all, but no, he has to whine about how hard it is to have massive piles of cash thrown at him in exchange for essentially being a game show host, truly he will be the zoomer generation's donald trump, "donaldson" indeed.
It reminds me of an addiction. He knows it's killing him and he outlines all the ways it is but he can't walk away,

Rich people's wealth is wasted on them. They don't know what to do with money other than use it to make even more money. The only rich person I know about who I consider normal is Tom Anderson, the Myspace guy. He made millions then retired and just wanders around the world without any worries. I can relate to that.
Mr Beast has easily 10x the money of Myspace Tom and yet still keeps going, for what? So he can have even more money he won't spend on anything?
freakish behavior by a freakish person born of a freakish society
never looked upon this man with anything other than an equal blend of pity and disdain
he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead
Just think for a minute about how much actual human wellbeing you could buy with a single hour of this dweeb's time, and then tell me about how capitalism is the most efficient way to allocate resources. 
We can't have healthcare but we can pay some weirdo to run a train into a big hole.
Maybe I just have simple tastes, but if I had a 500 million dollar net worth, I'd retire to a self-sufficient climate resilient compound and train communist guerillas to engage in a protracted people's struggle against the United States.
no buddy here's a better idea what if instead we did squid game for real. or what if we locked two people in a room for months for money and filmed it
“People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality,”
Yes.
While his free time seems minuscule, the rare times he does pull away from work are for dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.
God fucking damn this guy has enough that he could literally just retire right now, live an upper middle class lifestyle paid for by his savings for the next eighty years and never worry about money ever again, but the capitalism prions are in his head and he just can't stop thinking about money.
rolling over after a passionless 13 minutes, lighting up a cig, "you like that babe? an extra 3 minutes (5000$) just for you"
she rolls her eyes and thinks about how she'll get him killed in a way that the money goes to her
Why does every rich famous person have to have a woe is me article now?
Pitchforks are a-comin’ 
He tells viewers that while he employs a sizable percentage of his hometown, he still lives modestly, unlike other rich YouTubers.
Okay this is something I’ve never been quite clear on: how many people/employees does it take to make Mr. Beast happen? I get that it’s a bigger operation than someone just doing “let’s talk about the patch notes for a video game update” kind of videos, but “employs an entire town” seems way bigger than warranted, unless we’re talking about a rather small town.
Samsara-maxxing. Just bolted to a wheel of suffering he himself created, and that he can let go of at any time.
The rich are all mentally ill.
If he ever stops for a breather, he says, he gets depressed. MrBeast is so laser-focused on generating content on YouTube that he describes his personality as “YouTube.”
shit that's bleak. now imagine working under him. jesus christ the desire for infinite growth is hollowing out people, collapsing societies and destroying our environment. we should stop that.
Capitalism is quite literally a death cult.
Absolutely brutal indictment of algorithmic capitalism.
Al-Khwarizmi is probably rolling in his grave that stuff like this is what people are talking about 99% of the time when they mention "the algorithm"
he made the decision to be miserable to make a number that he does not go need to go up, go up. No sympathy.
I've watched a lot of youtube, but the algorithm has never served me one of his videos in my feed. I really don't know what he does or what type of content he creates. The only thing I know is things my kids tell, and it's all about how much money he has/earns/gives.
Open YouTube in Microsoft Edge to see the true face of Hell
because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead.
for someone i feel like he doesn't really need to worry about missing $100k here and there
If viewers don’t really see him having fun, that’s by design. Donaldson has outright said he sees “personality” as a limitation for growth, once noting in a podcast that hinging your content on who you are as a person means risking not being liked. And if someone doesn’t like a creator as a person, they may not give the videos a chance.
I know this isn't really the point but I think he's straight-up wrong on this. Personality is integral if you want people to get attached to your brand or emotionally invested in you as a public figure. A lot of multi-millionaire streamers get by just by watching other people's videos (
<3) without blowing up a walmart every week because they know that viewers what them for them, something which MrBeast is purposely denying himself, it seems. "Parasocial relationship" is the online buzzword of the week for a reason, and you can't have that without displaying your personality.
“People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality”
Dude’s making me feel well adjusted by comparison
Fascinating.
Now line up on the wall.

Is this guy stupid? He’s a multi millionaire and he can’t take acting classes to put on a fake persona? Lmao.
What a fucking freak.
I honestly can't process the mindset of people like this, the lack ambition and imagination is genuinely inhuman
If I had 500 million dollars I'd become the Master of Mankind within 10 years, I'd literally make communist space marines motherfucker, do these people not understand the breadth and depth of resources they have access to, Jesus Christ get a grip
When your personality is the algorithm.
You see this with Twitch too, and the recent mockery people have taken to by using twitch lingo outside of twitch "what's up chat" when referring to a group.
I don't even know how you would go about solving this. If you have gameified content in any way at all people are going to work out how that game works and optimise around it, even more so when it's for money and not just clout.
