This is the original video:

https://youtu.be/k5xf40KrK3I?feature=shared

I don't understand why people illegally steal and reupload videos elsewhere on the internet. Just post the original video...

You can't just do that! If someone here is dedicated enough, then this will get you in big trouble!

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 35 points 4 months ago

I agree, it's super scummy. If you think somebody's video is important enough that it should be shared and spread, then just post the original video.

Also, a surefire way to ensure that PeerTube doesn't succeed is by associating it as a viable freebooting platform. No content creator will want to put their material on such a platform. It hurts both the video creator and PeerTube. It also puts the Lemm.ee admins at risk for facilitating this thread, if the video creator were litigiously-minded.

I say pirate from companies. I don't like stealing from people

I say pirate everything. I don’t like denying from society.

3 reasons I uploaded the video to PeerTube:

  1. @DogPack404 had received a “cease and desist” at the time, thinking his video might be taken down.
  2. The video is not monetised.
  3. YouTube.

I’ve changed the URL to YouTube now though.

I always sort of assumed as much. For one, there is something about Mr Beast giving me bad vibes, I think he kind of gives off psychopath vibes. Maybe it's the eyes. I've also heard people who have interacted with him talk about how he spends basically all his time thinking about attention economy and views and just... it doesn't sound healthy.

But also, yeah no shit he basically does reality TV on steroids. And reality TV has been fake ever since they first figured out it's better TV than boring actual reality. So it tracks that his videos are also fake.

His ever present smile tells the whole story.

[-] accideath@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Less the smile itself but that the eyes tell you it’s not a genuine, heartfelt smile. It just looks fake.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 5 points 4 months ago

Honestly I feel like I see this smile a lot when you look at politicians, ceos of big or terrible companies. Its like they don't know how to smile, at best they do the thing with the mouth but the eyes just look cold and predatory. Ron Desantis looks like he's being involuntarily sodomized when he smiles in pictures, its like he can't even fake it.

Not that I think these people can't feel joy or genuinely smile, I'm sure you could get more expression from them if you paid them to physically torture helpless poor people. But when they smile for us, its always dead in the eyes

Interesting as fuck?

Is it?

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 14 points 4 months ago

It's an hour long video where I couldn't tell whether they were trolling or just not very bright

Anyone who thinks you can be a millionaire on YouTube without being a fucking sociopath is deluded.

Could have proved it better.

That being said, there is something extremely off about that man. His eyes have always given me the creeps.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 30 points 4 months ago

His eyes have always given me the creeps.

It's because when he smiles, he doesn't use his eyes. If you look at a photo of him smiling, and cover up the bottom half of his face, he always looks completely neutral. Maybe he has nerve damage and part of his face is immobile, maybe he's just faking the smile for the camera? Questions like that what pop into my mind when I see photos of him and are, for me at least, why I feel something off with his eyes, as well.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Damn, this makes me sad. I thought he was one of the good ones. Between this and his buddy Ava/Kris, it's looking pretty bad.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

There's quite a bit of backstory there. SomeOrdinaryGamers on YouTube has been digging into it and has a few videos about it. If you like internet drama, Mutahar is usually a good source.

(Someone else could probably do a better tldr than I could.)

Isn't he the one who's working directly with Elon Musk now? Yeah I think the fraud stuff was implied.

unless they have permission to repost it in peertube, its not good for stealing someone's video
