Dude literally watched Squid Game and said that shit would be better if it were real then set out and did it.

I watched a video about it, and what's interesting to me is that he had an enormous budget for this Squid Game remake. He spent it on setting up hundreds of cameras, building a whole set where the game would take place, hired all kinds of camera operators... but didn't do even basic play-testing of the games he was going to have people play.

As a result, some challenges that were supposed to last for an hour or so ended up taking more than 12 hours. Some challenges that were supposed to eliminate half the contestants instead eliminated over 90%. Some challenges didn't work because people refused to eliminate their friends.

But for 5k a day.. Yeah, I'd waste three months of my life for that kind of money

Of course you would. I probably would too. It's life changing money. But the morality of these 'challenges' is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮

And this is brings us to our next point--we need to tax the shit out of them.
