      It does not fail. Every kid knows his name, so he can rip them of before their costomers lean how banks work, and how to spot good deals or red flags. Every video he makes will be an ad for his bank on the YouTube homepage.

        I was truly baffled when my boy used to watch him. He’d make money from ad revenue, then would also star in the ads about his own products which I assume he got paid for that and then makes money from increased sales. And in between his show being an ad for himself and his next grift the whole shtick was being so generous that he gave his mom a house.

        Its like everywhere that man looked its just moneymoneymoneymoney and kids think its in any way honest.

      The people at the front desk where I work sell his shit for him, cheap wax chocolate that cost 5$ and other crap. He makes bank selling the most shit things he can find to phone zombies.

      Madoff only went to prison because he stole from rich people. Stealing from regular people is basic business practice

        May I introduce you to the concept of “rent”? Basically, I pay you for a job and give you a place to live but you have to pay me back for living there. It is not slavery, because we both pay for a service.

    Mr Beast is the best modern candidate for the Antichrist for sure. I’ve never seen grown ass adults get more defensive over some random YouTube guy.

      Nah, he doesn’t have a huge Christian following / congregations supporting him, such is actually one of the requirements for Anti-Christ.

      No joke Trump fits it extremely well. He even was essentially given a golden calf.
