Its so validating to be right about Mr Beast. My sixth sense about people is never wrong. Now I'm just waiting for Louis Rossman to be outted for something too.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 22 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Louis is self-admittedly an asshole, but he's a fair asshole and his people stick by and swear by him, even after they leave.

I respect him and truly feel he's honest, especially when he has so many receipts.

I'd rather an honest asshole than a kind manipulator.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social -2 points 6 hours ago

I hope I'm wrong for once. He does a lot of good, but people said the same about Mr. Beast when he was paying for surgeries.

My gut says it'll be diddling.

Self righteous assholes like him always end up being diddlers.

Honestly, Louis has been giving pedo vibes past couple months. Maybe it was the sunglasses, maybe it was one too many incel comments, but it's a bit harder to watch him now

I mean, the dude made obscene amounts of money by getting poor people to debase themselves for a little bit of his horde. I question the judgment of anybody that didn't see it coming.

It was very suspicious that there was one good billionaire.

He can be a bit petite bourgeoisie. Other than that, he's a stand up guy who doesn't have to worry about YouTube demonitizing his videos so he can say whatever the hell he fucking pleases.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Well.. he was doing ok in NYC for a while, and that's a tough gig. I'd call him a petite bourgeoisie if we're talking about the actual definition of the word lol.

If we're taking about his chutzpah, giving a billion dollar company the figure on the regular, that's just the NYC mentality. The social stratum in the city can be very strange, for ex living in the building next to trump himself, but knowing he's completely divorced from the realities of a regular guy.

We might be from the same city, but some of us are new yorkers, some of us merely do business there.
