“People shouldn’t be like me. I don’t have a life, I don’t have a personality,” is a hell of a thing to say when you’re a guy who’s written a self-help book about how you’ve “succeeded”

He sounds fucking miserable. What a weird way to live if you’re that rich.

" While his free time seems minuscule, the rare times he does pull away from work are for dates with his girlfriend that center around activities that could enrich his videos, because he considers a single hour of a date to be worth $100K had it been dedicated to work instead." Absolutely insane lmao

Too busy grinding for interpersonal relationships duh

"MrBeast’s videos are so expensive, with budgets in the millions, that he can barely afford them. " Not a very successful grind imo

I always feel a bit wild in reading about online personalities because I’m the worst hipster that doesn’t know anyone. Never followed any big Vine, Youtube, Twitch or any other website’s personality. Its like staring into another reality.

There’s a Superman comic were Lois is writing about Luthor, and stating that if he ever saw a $100 bill on the ground, he’d waste more money stopping to pick it up than if he just kept going with his day. Absolutely wild to see this kind of calculation going on in a real person’s relationship.

this line fucking knocked me out

I read this a few days ago and it’s such a bleak read. I feel like if I made a short story as a commentary on how soul sucking it can be to pursue a career as a top content creator, that it wouldn’t be depressing as reading this.
