MrBeast's book actually sold decently well, so there's talk of film rights
What else can I say, I just don’t like MrBeast very much.
And the number one movie was called “Ass”. And that’s all it was.

Is it at an appropriate reading level for his fans? Perhaps a picture book?

This guy’s floated the idea of running for president in the future.
Our timeline is truly railed.

I’ve never seen his videos but I rarely hear good things

I have watched a few, once you have seen one you have basically seen them all though, they have a rigid formula
I needed something to talk to my nephew about when he was younger

its mainly targeted towards gen Alpha audience, stupid gimmicks for a impressionable young audience. also the biggest drama was the LUNCHLY disaster with KSI, paul brother, and another influencer. they made a wierd commercial how “its the best lunchable-like food they ate” and all of them look they had a gun to thier heads.

A movie about a YouTube star. I wonder what it will reveal. What social statement will it make. How will it show the art of AI sloping your way to a script and a thumbnail.

And publishers pay people to buy their books so they get on the best seller list.

I didn’t even know he wrote a book.
Just curious what you don’t like about him.
I don’t consume any of his content. All I really know about him is he does gameshow things and dug some wells in Africa I think.
Or maybe that was eye surgery?
Hell maybe both, I don’t even know.
Oh and something about his teeth.

his influence sells very well in ASIA apparently, they like his shitty food he sells, and his “comical” channel.

I don’t find his antics entertaining. But also he might be a bad person on top of that: https://time.com/7010441/mrbeast-accusations-explained/

Ah, Mr. Beast… I didn’t know he had a book. I remmeber his vids. They were algo-hitting “do crazy stuff” survivor-like videos, along with philantrophy vids. Dude’s got issues, but rarely do you get a youtuber that’s super popular and isn’t a problem offscreen.

his eyes are soulless like dolls eyes, he really has very little emotion going on.

By sold well do you mean he bought himself a million copies so it could be said that it sold well?
That’s the entire fucking streamer house of cards.

You go any evidence to back that claim up?

It’s a pretty commonly utilized tactic that’s especially employed by grifters who want to lend credence to the grift and political operatives who want to… lend credence to their grift. Occasionally though by people who want to gain notoriety in a field they’re new in, keep up a streak of success if they’re not sure about the book’s quality, or do a book tour and have something to sell the talks talkshows. In all cases it’s employed by people with more money than talent.

That’s just a normal thing best selling authors do
