## Notes - I never financially supported him but it's opened my eyes to the exploitative practices he does. Why is it so hard to not be a scummy person as an online creator 😭 - I wish he was more transparent. That lack of transparency is turning me off. - i wish people were held accountable more often, especially those with great influence like MrBeast. ## Highlights - holy fuck this is ruthless expose right now - faked videos - goal is for a good video, not for genuineness - [[Growth for the sake of growth]] who cares about making things legit 🤩 - Interesting how they tie in behavioral learning - subscribe for x is sarcasm but also incentivizes more than just subscribe - i guess this is done in email lists usually - damn the sales manipulation on the hoodie giveaway is kinda fkd when looking at the statistical probability - seems like he doesn't have much skin in the game with the moon upload - being frustrated in keith's chocolate bar review when he wasn't willing to be a yes men is interesting, definitely promotes the superficial creator mindset where you're just trying to fake positivity for the sake of sales or persuasion - just talking about macro sales and manipulation tactics, i'm honestly disappointed in myself for being blind to his strategies - "Paid" work for stocking shelves considering his young audience is fucked
