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

Is it at an appropriate reading level for his fans? Perhaps a picture book?
Malica@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I’ve never seen his videos but I rarely hear good things

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.

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

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 the number one movie was called “Ass”. And that’s all it was.

That feels a bit like cotton candy flavoured cotton candy.

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

“Is your book any good?”
“No.”
“Can we make a shitload of money filming it?”
“Yes.”
“We start shooting tomorrow.”
LordFireCrotch@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
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.

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/

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

for me any post about mr beast is mildly irritating like the rest of the “influencers”. I by and large don’t know anything about them except their “influencers” and I begrudge every small thing I migh know because of a commercial or post.

All I know is that I can’t stand that psychopathic imitation of a smile he does.

I remember hearing articles about the Minecraft movie. I thought that would never happen.
I was wrong.
My gut reaction here is again, “that would never happen” let’s see in 5-10 years…

Why would you buy his book??
FatVegan@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
People bought his lead filled lunchables
Rothe@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
He has a lot of fans. They would probably buy anything of his.
TAG@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
All I know about him is that he has a very large YouTube audience and that he does particularly well among young adults. That is an audience that has (a little bit of) disposable income but is still learning how to make good use of their money. I assume Mr. Beast advertised his book non-stop on his channel, so his viewers went out and purchased it.
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
his eyes are soulless like dolls eyes, he really has very little emotion going on.

I thought this was fake until I saw it at the store yesterday.
foggy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

That’s just a normal thing best selling authors do
Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
You go any evidence to back that claim up?
Lasherz12@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

I’ve added ‘& Mr beast shill’ to your growing list of tags reminding me why I ought to not take anything you say seriously.
You’re one of my least favorite people on Lemmy. Thought you should know. Cheers!
