    Even if I were being charitable to say what he meant was not being famous is easier, it’s still such a backhanded remark to make - I’d rather deal with the problems of fame than the looming threat of the poverty line any day of the week.

      What he means is it would be a lot easier for him to have adult conversations with underage children on the internet if everyone wasn’t always watching him. How’s he going to buy and hang cartoon CP on the walls if he’s poor though?

      The thing is, in this age, fame is a choice (to those it is given to). He has enough money to retire into obscurity, living a simple life of comfort. He chooses not not to.

      Where I’m from, if you’re evicted at any time during the 9-10 months of winter you’ll probably die unless you find another place in time which can be incredibly difficult and risky depending on why you were evicted.

      Learning about idol scenes and how hardcore it is to be an idol makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I somehow find Mr Beast to be a fish worth this ocean. He’s somehow uniquely compatible with what youtube wants now, and I doubt it’s stirs him wrong. In my mind, he echoes what other creators feel about all that bs.
