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.
I get that, I think the difference is Mr. Beast never admitted to being a dick and presented himself as “fun and kind”, whereas Louis expressly and repeatedly says “I think I’m doing a good thing, verify if you want, fuck you if you disagree, I don’t care about your opinion.”
I’ve had both kinds of people as bosses and employees, and I would absolutely work with the second kind again.
Any criticism got met with “Well, what have you done with YOUR life?” or “How many children have YOU given sight back to?” So as obvious as it seemed to those of us that saw it immediately, most people see a guy seemingly doing something good and become blind to the rest of it.
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.
I do not trust anyone who engages in philanthropy porn. It’s always more about the show and the ego of the person or people behind it than it is about the people supposedly being helped.
Yeah he’s inflating his ego. And he’s making money off it. The only reason I sort of like MrBeast is that there are plenty of other people ALSO doing a bunch of shit for show and making mad bank from it, mostly nobody gives much back, but he realized that philanthropy can be self-funding if done with enough show.
But it’s still very much obvious philanthropy porn with MrBeast, not true philanthropy.
I don’t have anything specific to out him with, he mostly seems like a genuinely nice dude, but here’s my take on him:
Louis Rossmann pretty much supports right to repair because he ran (runs?) a board-level Apple device repair shop and his life would be much easier with access to schematics. And he’s got a YouTube channel that got loads of views from blasting Apple with all this, so he must’ve realized that this would be popular with his viewers too.
He’s also a libertarian. In many areas, it seems like he’s for LESS regulation of companies. Including on workers’ rights, because “the free market will make everything great”. Are we really sure his right to repair stance is genuinely because he wants the best for everyone?
That said, if I had an Apple device with a bad logic board and I was in the area, I’d take it to him without any hesitation. I honestly doubt he’s scamming his customers. Like, ever. I think his business practices are good, it’s his political views that are suspicious.
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.
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.
I’d call him a petite bourgeoisie if we’re talking about the actual definition of the word lol.
That’s exactly what I mean.
There’s several videos where he’s effectively saying capitalism is great, and all companies need to do is be a good employer and treat their customers well. And I’ll even say that by all accounts, he is a pretty good employer and his company does good work. There’s also reasons he’s an exception, not the rule, and expecting the rest of capitalism to fall in line is untenable.
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

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.
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.
I get that, I think the difference is Mr. Beast never admitted to being a dick and presented himself as “fun and kind”, whereas Louis expressly and repeatedly says “I think I’m doing a good thing, verify if you want, fuck you if you disagree, I don’t care about your opinion.”

I don’t think anyone with a base level of 2 perception was saying this about him at any point
I never really paid much attention to him, but to the extent I expressed skepticism about him folks would generally act like I was too cynical.
I’ve never seen one of his videos. I was able to make this judgment by looking at one of the thumbnails

Did people ever doubt that though?

Do people doubt that he can’t be trusted? Yes, at least 2000 who were in Las Vegas not to long ago.
Or the (assuming more than 2000) people that watch his clips

I think Louis Rossmann has gotten to be a lot better of a person. Did you see his video about old vs new ThinkPads? The man was insane
Tbh I haven’t watched him in a while.
What’s wrong with Louie?
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.

Ahh, the days where something was “a billion dollar industry” or a “billion dollar company” was big.
The company he’s constantly giving the finger to, is more of a trillion dollar company now.
That’s exactly what I mean.
There’s several videos where he’s effectively saying capitalism is great, and all companies need to do is be a good employer and treat their customers well.

It was very suspicious that there was one good billionaire.
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
Eh, I’d say the diddler vibes have been there for more than a couple months, lol
