In ancient times, in Babylon, Egypt, Greece, the Islamic caliphate, Florence, or Venice, patrons dedicated their financial resources to promoting the most talented artists and scientists.
Today, we promote those who generate the most clicks (with clicks)
And in ancient times we enjoyed the blood sport of humans killing each other.
I genuienly dislike attempts of people to portray that the past was some how more refined or cultured. Low educational entertainment has always existed.
No pranking, no real adult themes. Lots of silly games that while I might not enjoy are at least not crossing any clear morality lines. It might not be Mr. Wizard but pretty wholesome compared to the other stuff I have seen online.
Additionally from the interviews I have seen from him, he seems grounded and treats his employees well.
There are different ways to define "wholesome" but when looking at clips/videos of that get mass produced these days, I could see classifying his as wholesome.
Fair, I guess in this age of internet media I was thinking of all the harmful content out there and while yes he does pranks, they either seem staged or the kind of prank like we made him think he won a car but we actually bought him a house kind of pranks.
What are you asking? Your question was how is he wholesome. I don't watch MrBeast on any regularity. I have seen his videos though and have seen most of his interviews. I don't have a classification but I can see how would could group his content in the wholesome category, not Wizard but not "Hey bro let me punch you in the face" prank.
Part of his routine is doing outrageously-pricey good deeds, at over a million dollars, such as paying for cataract surgery for 1,000 people. How the heck can a YouTuber afford this? Easy: with the ad revenue of same videos. It turns out people enjoy watching good-deed videos, and these huge giveaways wind up paying for themselves.
> Chandra’s study revealed the amounts of different elements produced by the explosion. The supernova has spat out 10,000 times the mass of the Earth in sulfur, 20,000 times Earth’s mass in silicon, 70,000 Earth masses of iron and a million Earth masses of oxygen.
I have two 13-years-old kids. No mobile phones. Most friends have phones. Pressure is high. Kids can use their mother's phone to answer some class group messages. Kids still surviving and thriving. Parents still resisting. Good luck everyone.
Personal anecdote: In order to find interesting books for my children, I tried everything online but to no avail. In the end, the solution that worked best was to get recommendations from the local bookstore owner. It goes without saying that she is an excellent bookseller. But all it took was telling her, my son likes such and such book series for her to say: in that case, I think he will like this series. As a result, he read three books in three weeks. Ten more to go.
