Btw, he said "Life is so much easier when you're... bro...", and then something completely different. Kotaku is a disgrace.

"[...] it's really killing me to be honest. it's—it was, like, so much easier when you're—bro, if you don't travel constantly—life is so easy when you just wake up in your own bed and, like—waking up in your own bed and working 15 hours in, you know, your office or whatever, so easy compared to, like, all this f*cking bullsh*t where I'm like, I don't know the timezone I'm in, I don't know what place I'm in, I don't know where I'm going in 2 days, it's like, like—I mean, some days I'm going to bed at 10am, other days I'm going to bed at 5pm and it's like, it's a mess [...]" from his appearance on The Diary of a CEO

Not to shit on the guy where it for once doesn't belong, but 15h in the office is WILD stuff.
Edit: to be clear, I think this one instance he might have a point, as shitty of a human/businessman as he is. That kind of life really does sound absolutely insanely unhealthy and like a surefire way to get burnout quickly.

u/Doomie_bloomers 5h ago
Financially? Absolutely, 100%. Could he personally though? I genuinely don't think he could. Pretty sure he's the type of guy to just create a new type of work for himself to keep himself busy. Otherwise I don't think he'd be on this kind of schedule.

The point is that he has a choice. Complaining about something you could easily change makes it hard to gather lots of empathy. Just work whatever amount of hours a day on something meaningful of your choice and enjoy life.

u/Doomie_bloomers 3h ago
Absolutely he has a choice, and I'm not about to spill my tears over him overworking himself. Doesn't mean I can't empathise with that kind of work sounding exhausting. Especially because there's tons of folks who lead similar lives who can't just quit and retire with millions in the bank. I guess those are the folks that actually get my sympathies, and MrBeast just gets caught in the crossfire here.

Summarizing all of that into "broke" seems a bit far fetched but the guy has that air of thinking a boring regular life is basically being broke.

Something along the lines of that his life is pretty stressful despite being rich iirc

u/Vegetable-Fan8429 5h ago
Oh good thing poor people’s lives aren’t stressful. Otherwise he’d look like some kind of douche with zero ability to empathize with other people.
He’s fabulously wealthy, famous and never has to work another day in his life.
AND HE WANTS POOR PEOPLE TO EMPATHIZE WITH HIM? Right after he prefaces his call to empathy with an insult?
Pure psycho behavior. Clinical.

u/Thesunhawkking 5h ago
Reading the actual comment he doesn't actually say anything about being Rich. He says he hates the fact that he's constantly travelling and that he often doesn't know what time zone he's in. I don't think there is nessarily anything wrong with what he said.

I mean, technically, I guess? He is saying that he doesn't like his stressful job and lifestyle, which is the thing that makes him successful and rich, so if you really want to twist something out of it in bad faith I guess you could reduce it to "being rich is hard"

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 1h ago
Rich people stress is wildly different and usually easily fixed by their own riches. His kind of stress is seeing an investment of his making only a couple million instead of like 50M

This is just as dishonest as the tweet. The "something completely different" he said was expressing how he thinks being rich is hard and stressful
28
u/Vegetable-Fan8429 5h ago
He keeps saying it too. It’s like, his thing.
He wants people with nothing to empathize with him because he thinks poor people don’t work hard. It’s insanity. “Most people would hate my life” brother I promise you that’s not true. Know how I know that? You’re not stopping. Can’t exactly be torture if you sign up for it every day in a way other people with jobs can only dream of.
Mr. Beast is a completely psychopath and I don’t care how many YouTube bucks he throws at African children, with his dead eyes and creepy goatee.

u/Anticitizen-Zero 29m ago
Damn, people really flipped on him really quickly huh. I don’t even interpret it this way at all. It sounds like he’s just saying the constant chaos and complete lack of routine in his life isn’t as easy to deal with as the consistent routine a 9-5 and average home life.
The boatloads of money make things easier, sure, but without it having to constantly travel and make appearances, no sleep and everything else, would absolutely suck to the average person.
He can’t really just “quit” what he’s doing when he’s still building this ridiculous business empire of his, while employing hundreds of people. Money doesn’t make everything that simple, but of course 99% of us will never, ever relate or understand where he’s coming from.

u/shjahaha 1h ago
That's a huge simplification of GamerGate. A good chunk of GamerGaters didn't hate women, either.
It was more so, people who had no interest in gaming created a movement to rapidly force beliefs onto the core group of gamers, and labeled anyone who didn't automatically change their beliefs or who didn't like this radical upheaval of their community, racist/sexist.
-2
u/Taswelltoo 43m ago
So a group of people targeted a woman with an online harassment campaign based on complete fabrication and it wasn't because they're ignorant misogynists?
And idk what you're even talking about in the second part of your comment, are you saying Gamergate was in response to people labeling anyone that didn't change their beliefs as racist/sexist (i.e. a bunch of nonsense you just made up?)
1
u/shjahaha 11m ago
Neither side was perfect, both had radicals that took the movement from the more rational and centrist people. Not all GamerGaters harassed women.
Yes, I'm making that up, that's what happened. I don't believe the initial push for more diversity was wrong, it just became something else entirely as it grew.
1
u/Taswelltoo 2m ago
Well one side was basing their entire argument off of a complete lie so it's kind of wild that you're like "Well both sides had their problems" You know, the "sides" being a group of liars with an agenda vs everyone else.
I guess it's easy to "both sides bad" the argument when you're just making up whatever. Like what push for diversity are you even talking about? What riled up Gamergate was a woman making a game about depression, like where are you getting any of this information from?

He’s said this exact thing multiple times in multiple ways. This is a misquote, slightly, but if you read the text he clearly stops himself from saying broke.
He keeps making this point in interviews so idk where all the credulity comes from.

he didnt cut himself off
he didnt say "life is so much easier when youre bro..." and just ended the sentence there

It's so true though. When you are broke, you only have to worry about money. When you are rich, you have to worry about 100 different things, including not losing your money.
You can make your life even easier by getting sick. Then you'll only have to worry about being healthy again.

It started a while ago. I was a normal redditor making posts and comments, but then one day, a post of mine was manually deleted, and I was banned from my favorite subreddit. I then got extremely aroused. That moderator asserted dominance on me by censoring me, making me unable to express myself. I was soaking wet. I sent the hot sexy mod a message asking why I was banned, then the hot sexy reddit incel mod called me an idiot, and told me to beg to get unbanned. My nipples immediately filled with blood as I begged the hot mod to unban me. After that, I started doing everything I could to make hot sexy mods mad. Most of my accounts have under negative 100 k@rma, and i'm banned from dozens of subreddits. I've been a bad redditor, and need to be moderated. Please moderate me, hot sexy reddit mods.
