      to understand the appeal of YouTubers.

      Come on, are you really putting all the Youtubers in the same boat as MrBeast ?

      Take a look at channels like :

      • Veritasium
      • Technology connections

      They only share a platform with MrBeast but it’s not fair to compare them to that prominent idiot.

      It’s akin to saying all books are bad because you didn’t like your last book…

        Veritasium

        Technology connections

        I rest my case about YouTube users.

          I think you just contradicted yourself.

          I rest my case about generalization.

          Also what does their audience has to do with the fact that you equate a Veritasium channel to a MrBeast channel ?

          It’s weird because you started by saying you didn’t understand Youtubers and now you are comparing the audience of entirely different channel.

          It’s fine you had a stereotypical conception of Youtubers, you dont need to change the subject.

    I’m sure the philanthropic man that he is will use it to educate consumers and totally not to swindle them…
