Holy shit those lifeless eyes give me the creeps

I stand by my description of him: "That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes."

I just took a screenshot of the image and then cropped the bottom of his face out, there is no denying it

he looks like he's crying

I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.

I don't think there's a lot going on in Jimmy's head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He's not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.

Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that "Jimmy never stopped counting" was their conclusion as well.

It's a great video. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Idle hands and all that. Someone this vacuous with this much access to resources sounds like the perfect target for manipulation by someone with ill intent. Whatever it is may not have been his idea, but he also doesn’t seem like the person to say no to a paycheck for literally any reason.

I think that's underselling it, severely. I have no idea what would win the YouTube algorithm, many people try and don't get a fraction as close to Mr. Beast. Clearly, he has the creativity to come up with incredibly successful video ideas, initially even all by himself! Even he they're not my style, and I personally dislike his videos, brand and the guy's own personality, I do have to recognise he has this from of creativity and a lot of it.

Well, Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of torture and running illegal sweepstakes at the very least. His company is also the perfect place for Epstein class wannabes, which I’ve heard rumblings about but nothing concrete.
