He just can't seem to figure out how to smile.

[–] VetOfTheSeas@discuss.online 12 points 15 hours ago

No life behind the souless eyes.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

In other news the Prime Directive is to protect your clickthru rate.

Literally everything this guy does ends up feeling like a scam lol

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 10 points 17 hours ago

It is, he gave stuff away, but was sponsored or he was still making bank. There are so many selfless people out there, but he is not one of them.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

maybe I'm cynical, but he always gave me the wrong vibes.

like I'm waiting for the revelation that he did something terrible.

I get the same vibes from blippy, I hated when my ex let my kids watch it in unlimited autoplay.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What revelation are you waiting for? He's already awful.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

diddling minors, mr Beast, maybe, Blippy, I'm sure

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's not like the threshold for being bad is as high as hurting children lol. You can still be a bad person even if you're not diddling minors lol.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

i know, but my gut tells me to never let my kids near blippy.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not saying Blippi hasn't done anything (I don't even know what the allegations are), I'm just saying even if Beast didn't diddle children he's still bad.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

there's no allegations against blippy.

he just creeps me out so much.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

No allegations, but there's still the Harlem shake poop video.

It's on archive.org if you feel the need. I don't recommend it.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 19 hours ago

Same vibes Ellen always gave me. You can feel it in the eyes

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

blippi did a harlem shake video where he shit all over his friend

[–] MrStranger@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't that already happened? Like his ex employees coming out and talking about bad or missing payments and about the setup of his games being biased. It's been a while so I don't quite recall the details.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

yhea, crazy he is still successful.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 87 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even his face is a scam. I've never seen anyone whose entire facial expression looks like a constant veneer, barely hiding how he only sees others as an opportunity for exploitation. It's uncanny.

[–] scytale@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It’s his eyes. He smiles but if you cover the bottom half of his face, all traces of a happy or pleasant look from the smiling disappears. A genuine smile also makes the eyes “smile”.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His eyes look a bit ketaminey to me

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Can we not equate ketamine with sociopathic losers?

Ketamine doesn't make you a piece of shit.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Did I offend the ketamine addict community? So unbelievably sorry 😭

Good point.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's a pretty empty shell of a person I think. There was a yt vid about his tv show being idiotic and that he just doesn't understand being funny or entertaining and thus does his weird money things

[–] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If his shows aren't entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that's a different issue.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 4 points 23 hours ago

You're right, entertaining is the wrong word

Mr Beast sucks.
