    The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico.

    What a headline, what an article.

      I gave his AMZ prime show a chance. After the 3rd self-sacrifice round and a bunch of lame games I couldn’t continue. Something about his smile reminds me of this but without the rack

      Beats me. I keep seeing his stupid ass face in search results that are completely unrelated to my search, and the sheer amount of views. I can’t even comprehend as to why people watch this ass. At least now it is somewhat known that he’s a scumbag. Unsurprisingly & unfortunately it did not seem to have any effect on his popularity.

      He’s a bucky little fuck with dead eyes and a forced smile who practices philanthropy for clout, but up until recently you couldn’t criticize him because of the philanthropy – even when pointing out that said philanthropy is weird and immoral when it’s only being done for fame and self-promotion. Due to this paradox, he had everyone in a sort of stalemate. Fortunately, a lot has since come out about him being a sociopathic piece of human shit, so now we can kick him while he’s down.
