The interview I saw about him was more like he doesn't feel any emotions outside of making money. Like he gets bored or twitchy if he's not doing something connected to making videos or generating revenue.

Inhuman, soulless husk. Meat puppet generated by capital to do its bidding. Marx was correct when he said the bourgeoisie are more of slaves to capital than the workers are. People like Mr. Beast are barely even conscious entities anymore.

Feel that. Like people who have houses with 8 bedrooms and 200k cars. These things don't actually make your life better. Genuine connection with others is one of the best feelings in the world and most of these people can never experience that.

Nothing quite like sitting on a porch with someone talking until 2 AM, or getting together at a cabin with your close friends and playing games for a straight weekend.

MrBeast is so laser-focused on generating content on YouTube that he describes his personality as “YouTube.” He acknowledges that this brutal approach to videos, which has cratered many creators over the years, is not healthy. “People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality.”

With a laugh, he admits that he has a mental breakdown “every other week.” If he ever stops for a breather, he says, he gets depressed.
