But you have to understand that once "Mr beasts feastables" gets big as nestle or Hershey, they will start doing the same damages.

@@chairpants I wonder about that though - Mr. Beast has such a large following, bad PR like that could kill his brand. He would have to stop doing KZfaq in order to do the things that Hershey/Nestle/Co get away with

@@sarahwatts7152 bad PR of Chris was pretty bad but not enough tho

​@sarahwatts7152 His fans are a cult however. He just has to say sorry, and he'll do better. Then all is forgiven, if needed.

​@@cjgentmoron

i wouldn't factor cost and how it compares in Europe into your decision about it's taste. I can get them at 7/11 for under $2 which is pretty good for a chocolate bar, also 7/11 doesn't sell lindt so that's not a great comparison. he's not out there making THE BEST CHOCOLATE BAR!, he's making decent ones 10/10 on the deez nuts, will eat again. probably this week when my kid asks for more

@@PizzaTrophy I said it tastes decent, not great, but the value is lacking. If you compare it to Hershey's (which kinda tastes like vomit to me sorry Americans don't put fucking butyric acid into food) it's infinitely better. 2$ at 7/11 is still more expensive than Lindt is here, since the Feastables bars are 60g, that puts it at 3.33$ or 3.16€/100g. Lindt can be found for ~2.50€ per 100g quite easily, and I've seen it as low as 1.79€ (1.89$)/100g online (in store it can get even cheaper with offers). For an equivalent amount of chocolate to a Feastables bar (60g) that is 1.13$/1.07€. I'm sorry but if you're ~2x as expensive as Lindt, there's 0 reason to buy something that only tastes decent. Feastables is like high C tier (assuming mid C is the peak of a normal distribution) and Lindt is like high B low A, about 1-1.5 standard deviations better, and literally half the price (or even cheaper) Obviously chocolate availability in America is different than in Europe, but for me to buy a Feastables bar it would have to be probably around ~50-60 cents European? Tbh with how cheap good chocolate is here, there's little point buying anything else. Edit: It appears that Walmart online store carries Lindt 125g bars (2x Feastables bars in weight) for 3.26$. If you've never had it before, I'd recommend you give it a try, it's basically the "entry level" swiss chocolate (idk how it would be to an American palette though tbh) [also entry level here doesn't mean "bad" or "inferior", swiss chocolate just gets crazy good but even marginally better options are significantly more expensive due to way smaller scale]

@@morgenanspyrys yeah no one calculating how much per 100g. it's dollars per bar. also i dont think europe is the feastables target audience. also, i've been stationed across europe and i know what good chocolate tastes like. sorry you wasted all that time trying to "convince" me to see a better way. this is america

​@@PizzaTrophyDollars per bar lmao? The feastables bar is basically half the size. That's like saying a McDonald's cheeseburger is better value than a Big Mac, because you're looking at dollars per burger.

@roknovak9991 dude I'm telling you from experience. I don't care how big they are

I mean the only think I do not like about Mr beast is that his video are the most bland, souless, garbage, waste of time I have seen in long time, made for kids with a low attention span, it's pretty much a long tiktok the best example of this is the squid game video, the rest is hard to criticize even if he "use" these people and their desperation for views at least he is paying them

Thing*

Yes, this. There's tons of charity going on everywhere not being broadcast on media platforms like KZfaq. Just because it is with MrBeast, doesn't change the fact charity is being done. Broadcasting it isn't wrong because it is indirectly funding more. Taking the flack for the whole "blind people" charity as an example; that would not have happened if he wasn't making as much money as he was then. Making more because of broadcasting it isn't wrong. He could've made more doing many other things that weren't charity, and that's not even considering the expense of the procedures in that video. The fact it happens is only a good thing. The fact his popularity is as strong as it is is only a good thing because this means more funding for more and bigger charities. It's win-win-win. Who's being harmed by any of this? The people who are donating? They do so willingly. Some I'm sure are probably donating more than they should or can afford. That's still their choice, but if they can't control their spending any better than that, then at least it's going to be used better than otherwise.

@XionEthernum well Spoken

Only because it makes him money. I bet he wouldnt if it wasnt profitable

If you think about it. Jimmy doing philantrophy and spending millions on good causes and SHOWS US it's real depsite the intent being to avoid critism... is a win for everyone. Sure you might think it's underhanded. But see it as this... What would you rather have? A rich good person giving away millions to something bad. Or a rich "bad" person giving away millions to something good. We seen rich people who are good at heart, fall for scams or organsations that are terrible! But Jimmy here might be a bad person, but heck the money they give away goes to good places. And even if Jimmy is just using it all for deflection... he ain't the Pauls who are just awful rich people who give away millions to awful things.

I dunno. I see you're point - he's a lot better than the alternatives. But it feels like we're missing the forest of alternative possibilies and looking at a single tree. It feels like a false dilemma somehow. I just want Mr Beast to do even better and have high standards, although I also understand he's probably already doing his best anyway.

@@Anolaana I want everyone to reach for a higher standard, but failing that, having the most popular youtuber being Mr. Beast is pretty good for the most part vs. one of those weird kids channels or someone like Jake or Logan Paul. I think you might be missing the forest for the trees here. Mr. Beast isn't perfect, not even close, but as a whole, he consistently donates a lot to charity, puts a lot of effort into his content, even if it is clickbaity, isn't a douchbag hustler, is open to have honest conversations and talk to people, and is passionate about what he does (or at least he says he does and I believe him since he's been at this for basically half of his life at this point).

"this inspires more people to be more charitable in their own lives rather than be a complete and utter douchebag" But does it though? People feel good about watching his videos and buying his products and that can give them the "feeling" of doing good without necessarily actually doing good themselves. Yes, he's better than the Pauls, but that bar is below the floor

@@ltlbuddha I think so. Team Seas and Trees were successful endeavors. At the very least, it emphasizes in people's minds that charity and helping others in need is a good thing.

Evil/malicious??

Exactly, his mission statement is something that we can see and rate him on. If he changes it means he loses his grip on the market. It's voting with your wallet, we want this change and if he gets more influence through that, other companies will be forced to change

It's at least dystopian that instead of providing healthcare to blind people so that they can see again, Americans have turned basic human rights into an entertainment format. Mr Beast is the No.1 enabler of that. It's very Black Mirror and really f****d up.

Especially Nestle, good products, horrible company

Feeding the beasts

Ya I remember he had gotten a BMW i8 and a house when he started making money, but he didn’t feel any fulfillment from it and liked giving stuff away more. And his car and house was broken into so he was like now I see why rich people are in gated communities lol

​@@WolfvineGamingaaa

@@palomab9967 ?

I agree for the most part he has a good heart but I also do believe he’s a business man first, a KZfaqr second, an a philanthropist third

Giving a million bucks to a random dude off the street does not make the world a better place though. Like, it doesn't move the needle even a hair. Bill Gates definitely did more good for the humanity than Jimmy ever will, even if Bill did some shady shit along the way.

this is a tough one! We've considered all sorts of products, from sustainable socks and underwear (basics that everybody needs and usually buys new) to small items like patches and stickers which won't leave such a lasting footprint. Still in the workshopping phase though, what kinds of products would you like to see from us in the future?

@@FutureProofTVnot the person you replied to but I think it’d be really cool if you had some kind of consulting service for any upcoming business entrepreneurs or something akin to it, I think something like that can be practical to anyone and would have the least impact and smallest footprint

@@FutureProofTV Manscaped

@@FutureProofTV I guess I was thinking eco-friendly cleaning/laundry products or something like reusable produce bags

​@@FutureProofTVBuying polyester free underwear is a nightmare. Apparently it's too hard to make something with cotton.

This is a great point, if we're just creating an additional way to spend money instead of replacing one then we're not really helping anybody in the long term ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for sharing!

I’m a weird way it’s like buying chocolate from a small/medium sized business. You know this money goes towards MrBeast and his many employees instead of to Nestle and their desire to conquer the worlds water sources

​@@sethpolevoi4027I'm a weird way...??

Is this the longest sentence I've ever seen in my life? I'm not sure. There's not a period at the end, so is it even a sentence? 😊

​@snakedoktor6020 at least there are commas unlike others 😅

We feel similarly! There isn't usually quality behind these products and if there is there's no real way to know if the creator who funded it ensured this or if it's a PR strategy. However, if the latter is the case it's usually a net positive so we like to pick and choose our battles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ appreciate the insight!

@@FutureProofTV True 🙏🏿

😂being a rock dweller doesn't sound so bad these days

do you actually think people are being for real when they say that

@Nice19997 idk abt them but i think its actually wild too

But he doesn’t live a humble lifestyle… all he does is flex wealth. He pushes consumerism in terrible ways, all of his videos now are dripping in tacky KZfaqr wealth. I mean I watched a video of his where he recently destroyed millions of dollars worth of goods. He bought 5 pristine clearly functional school buses and stacked them on top of each other with a fucking crane, for what? It took up like not even a minute of the video and boom 5 school busses gone forever. It didn’t even look cool. And then I see people be so critical of other creators when they destroy a couple hundred dollars worth of food for a video but somehow Mr. Beast doesn’t get much criticism when he destroys 50000x value. He’d rather give away a Lamborghini for views than give away 100 used cars that would help 100x as people. It feels so shallow, and makes me sad that young people view him as the new pillar of philanthropy. The way philanthropy should be done

Whether or not you like the guy and whether or not his acts have caused people to be more charitable, I can't say. But I can say that humble is NOT the word I would use to describe that dude.

@@monhi64 but thats food you can recycle the fucking school buses infact most of the shit he destroys can be recycled or repurposed the difference between food and and 5 school buses is who the fuck needs 5 school buses? Also did you not see that video where he gave away free cars? It feels like you are lacking the ability to see the needed longevity

Not really. If you compare Feastables with more premium chocolate, it still comes as lacking.

„Lacking compared to Hersheys” and „Hersheys tastes so good”? Is this just the American taste buds coming through or are you actually being serious, Hersheys isn’t even legally allowed to be called chocolate in the EU and Canada (the word „chocolate” can’t even be implied to be on the wrapper), and it literally just tasted like powdered milk mixed with water xd

I'm sorry but Hersheys chocolate has a very specific taste that can only be acheived by using cheap bottom of the barrel barely qualifies for the legal definition of chocolate recipes. if you like it more power to you, but that just means you have cheap tastes in chocolate. Which i want to be clear there is nothing wrong with that live your best life and eat the chocolate you prefer. but most people who buy Hersheys do not buy it because they think it tastes better then the higher end brands most people buy it because its very cheap, they know what they are getting, and you can get it almost anywhere. Hershey's is the Mc. Donalds of chocolate bars, Its made as cheaply as possible and as widely available as possible and is just good enough for people to seek it out when they want something familiar. If you prefer it to more expencive brands you probably just don't actually like the flavor of chocolate very much and as such bars with a higher percentage of chocolate are a turn off.. That being said if hersheys is the mac donalds of chocolate bars then Feastables is like the applebees or chili's of chocolate bars.

Hershey's is trash

@@givememychannelback5425ikr, so trash. I feel like there’s a reason why everyone goes for Snickers or Kit Kat; we need something like peanuts or wafers to distract us from how garbage the chocolate is. Hershey’s just gives us the garbage.

Same

Verb, philanthropy to keep/make money isnt philanthropy

Mmm... Yeah, folks like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are well known to have been absolute monsters behind the scenes, but since they've put a tiny fraction of their fortunes into philanthropy, people act like they're good now or something. But make no mistake... It is simply not possible to get *that* rich in our society without exploiting the hell out of people, and Buffet and Gates, among others, have done far more harm than good. I'd like to believe that Mr Beast is just a nice guy, and in the absence of direct evidence of him being a monster, it's really tempting to believe that his stuff is the most ethical form of consumption under capitalism... But the odds are not in favor of him being some sort of saint.

I'm interested in why you don't like him

And it’s not like he’s saving up a bunch money solely for his personal gain, most of it goes back into the machine that is Mr.Beast

​@@foxcipher7741exactly

@@foxcipher7741 which is the exact same thing as personal gain, considering he’s already declared he’s using it to become president

I still think it's poverty and charity p*rn

As someone who doesn't watch or interact with anything in his genre (not my cup of tea), he has a bad reputation in my books because he's acting too much like a content creator instead of the owner of a company for someone who manages large-scale projects. Look at the way he responds to decisions like the employee town/rental (whatever you want to call that) and that isolation chamber idea. He desperately needs a proper PR person because even if he had good intentions, he (and by extension, his fandom) just sounds negligent in the worst way possible.

Second fakest tasting chocolate I’ve had

It was very thin

Are we talking candle wax taste or car wax taste?

both probably @@jaystarr6571

We agree, even if the philanthropy is an act it's still (usually) a net positive - at least in this instance. Espeeeecially if compared to his main competitors which are mega corps who actively want to see our world burn lol. We'd still rather see people going out of their way to buy something like Alter Eco with a clearer mission but you can't win em all !

They are only available in America. Or at least, they aren't available here in the Netherlands. From what I'm hearing, it's less sweet, and considering American chocolate is less sweet in general than EU chocolate, they likely aren't as flavourful as EU chocolate either. But Americans are also kind of trained to enjoy that vomit flavour in chocolate, so... 🤷‍♀️ who knows...

That's my question too.

Hence where this brand of nommables emerges from; nice passive income for when he's not the hot topic anymore.

but money

he's a corporation as well in some sort of way so putting the emphasis on the individual person is simply better for him. If he advertises that we normal people demand action from big corporations what assures him that he isn't the next one on the chopping block
