    I’m a millennial and had never heard of or seen Mr. Beast until he had that controversy around the same time he started launching shitty foods, which was enough for me to be like “don’t care for anything this guy’s involved with moving forward.” and have since then not even seen ads for anything he does except maybe once? before a Fallout episode.

    They must have their targeted advertising on lock ‘cause I guess they got the message from my lack of interest that I’m not in his demographic and aren’t advertising to me.

      Millennial also. Mostly know Mr. Beast aka Jimmy Donaldson for denying contestants female hygiene products, running illegal sweepstakes, and torturing Jake Weddle with 24/7 lights on sadistic exercise challenges and damaging his long term health while teasing more prize money for a video that was never released.

      Millennial also, very glad not to have Mr. Beast advertised to me. I had one glance at that mf and I knew he’s just doing it for the money. Phony ahh bish.

          Well yeah, sponsorships. But all his videos are for the money. Only. And all the controversy around him doesn’t sit well with me. I watched his former employees say some pretty damning things. And showed some pretty damning footage.

        Claims to be a millennial then uses “ahh” like a 14 year old girl on ticktock. Something here is fishy.

        I denounce your claim of millennial status. No self respecting depressed millennial would be caught dead using Gen z brain rot algospeak

      mr beast was so cringey when he did that cringey “al qaeda in a cave like skit commercial” with him and other influencers being forced to eat his poisonous food.
