    I don’t know if they can, the opportunity cost is pretty high with these massive channels. Two weeks of grinding might be worth it for them, meanwhile MrBeast himself keeps on repeating this ridiculous notion he’s “revealing the true potential” of said creators. Meanwhile he’s just exploiting their knowledge and work ethic to grow his own brand.

      I couldn’t give less of a shit about beast but this take is just patently ridiculous.

      If someone asks you to work for exposure, you can say no. If someone asks you to rush something, you can say no.

      If you accept a completely optional shitty job because it will get you a lot of clout, I’m sorry but I’m not going to feel even a little bit bad for you.
