His face creeps me out so much

Maybe he has resting sociopath face?

NVM there is no way that smile is natural.

I've heard that he determined this facial expression makes more people click his videos than others. So well worth looking like a soulless husk.

I've been looking into making video essays, and it's crazy how much time and energy people can spend on thumbnails and A/B testing them, and it's even crazier that it does work. FD signifier said that just changing the thumbnail on an old video made his views go up like 5x

oh ya, the TrueAnon episode about mr beast and how obsessed he is with stuff is wild

It does seem like a system that rewards obsession and borderline neuroticism.

I'm not gonna try to find it, but there was one thumbnail I saw of his with an angry expression while he pushed a button causing people to fall through a hole in the floor, it's the only time his expression looked human and genuine though still very unsettling

I think I saw that thumbnail on the trending page. It later was changed to show him roasting someone alive over a fire. Also not smiling.

Dear lord ahaha, yeah I think that was the one, even more horrifying now. He is probably exhausted from hiding this true self
