Being boring is lucrative for MrBeast

Image
  MrBeast is one of the most popular YouTubers on the video platform with over 154 million subscribers on his main channel alone and I find his videos …. incredibly boring. I used to watch his videos at the height of the Team Trees project which was a campaign that saw the influencer plant trees for every dollar donated. But quickly I grew bored of his videos. The big production videos MrBeast and his team create are an impressive feat but often when I try to watch a video I end up clicking off because I’m not interested nor invested in the people starring in the videos. Many of MrBeast’s, real name Jimmy Donaldson, videos feature his subscribers who he regularly gifts substantial amounts of money. The only somewhat constant in the videos are MrBeast himself and his childhood friends who operate as supporters and jovial distractions for those competing in challenges. But still for me these big budget videos lacked personality.   Despite the tens of videos I’ve watched by...

What Sneako is missing…..

Image
  On the 20 th of October commentary YouTubers Aba and Preach uploaded a video in response to recently deplatformed content creator Sneako who criticised the Canadian’s for not making a video speaking out against YouTube’s decision to delete his channels. Earlier this month Sneako‘s two YouTube channels were taken down after the New York based creator received three strikes on his livestreaming channel SHNEAKO where the streamer posted red pill content, talked negatively about women including aggressively simulating sex towards youtuber Chad Chad. Aba and Preach aren’t the first content creators Sneako, real name Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, has expressed discontent with. In late August the 24-year-old had an argument with KSI, Britain’s biggest YouTuber, on Twitter because Sneako was upset that KSI was celebrating Andrew Tate, fellow red pill content creator, being banned on  all popular social media sites.

Yes Anthony Fantano your Twitch chat is Toxic

Image
  In the latest edition of his video series Let’s Argue , where music reviewer Anthony Fantano discusses the hot takes of his Patreon members, one supporter referred to his Twitch chat as ‘a toxic environment that feels like a very unwelcoming place for some people to participate in.' This video is a compilation of Let’s Argue’s that Fantano has posted on to his Patreon . The video was released shortly after the eye-raising beef between the YouTuber and rap superstar Drake which saw the Canadian direct messaging the reviewer on Instagram and telling him his ‘existence was a light 1’, attempting to poke fun at Fantano’s own rating system. Fantano, whose main channel is called theneedledrop, disagrees with the hot take explaining that he and his moderators take great care to remove racist, bigoted, and hateful people from his chat. He then goes to share that he doesn’t think his Twitch chat is particularly better or worse than any other content creators and that chats on the...
