Ooh yeah true I did

Being serious:

  • started as a YouTuber that did trend videos like "I did the latest trend, but did it BIGGER"
  • figured out a (very exploitative) formula for maximising viewer retention whilst getting as many sponsorship deals into a video as possible
  • Became the first YouTube Millionaire
  • Started amping up this formula by making the challenges shocking and attention grabbing, such as "I PUT 10 PEOPLE IN AN UNLOCKED HOTEL ROOM, LAST TO LEAVE GETS $5 MILLION"
  • realised he could wash his terrible reputation by occasionally releasing a charity video instead, kept it being exploitative though, his most famous example was "I CURED THE BLINDNESS OF 100 PEOPLE" (all blind because they had treatable, easily, diseases but American Healthcare is so exploitative they couldn't afford to get the treatment)
  • Managed to get a TV series called "Beast Games" that's this but TV

He's basically everything wrong with YouTube rolled into one person

It really isn't.

People just need to do more extreme measures, not pointless shit like "blackouts" that makes you feel like you're doing something when really you're not

Action! Resistance! Activism!

Nah, fully just people going "from a distance, it kinda looks like a truffle"

A confection having a center of ganache and an outer coating of powdered cocoa or chocolate, named after the visual resemblance to a Black Truffle

Oh wait you mean the mushrooms not the chocolate of the same name
