I’m not a YouTube guy; I only follow one channel I found during the Covid lockdowns, this kid called Technoblade who was low key while being really good at the game Minecraft. They worked together sometimes. Didn’t make Mr Beast seem very cool.

From what I’ve seen, he just inserts his loud personality into things by throwing money at people. It was never “hanging out with Mr Beast”, but “Mr Beast is giving out money”. Those guys are generally bad people, I cannot think of an exception.

I'm not sure if you know already but techno passed away not too long ago :(

Yeah, extremely saddening. I watch his father’s videos sometimes and they can be difficult.

Techno’s death was a lot harder to hear about than I expected. I heard about it from a friend that I’d shared a video with and felt genuinely sad. I didn’t even know the guy or watch that many of his videos. I’ve watched dozens of them in the time since when I have nothing else to do and honestly, it’s the celebrity death I’ve cared about most.

He was so young too. Probably younger than 90+% of this site. Such a tragic death.

I had the same reaction when TotalBiscuit died 6 years ago. Loved watching his reviews and his humor was always top. It's hard to lose someone who you don't know but feel like you do from all the hours of their lives they've shared with us.
