The comments replying seem to ignore one of the key aspects of your opinion. It's about Mr Beast getting his name and face on every interaction. If the networks shoved "WERE GONNA BLOW UP THIS LABORGHINI BECAUSE CBS!" "WERE GONNA FEED THIS HOMELESS DUDE! CBS! CBS!" ad nauseam it would be a different animal, but somehow ostentatious displays of consumption and self-promotion are acceptable for some.

My main point is, you motherfuckers want to help? Money = free speech right now. Money is law. Use that fucken shit to sway laws. Start locally. They don't want to help. They want to play saint lottery for instant good boy points while solving nothing. Its disgusting. May they all feast on each other at the table in hell.
