What was the reasoning with the location?

Middle of the world because a majority of my audience is outside America and we have a big middle eastern fan base. Wanted to give them a chance to participate!

What does "middle of the world" mean? Saudi Arabia is not even on the equator. Is MrBeast a flat earther?

It's called the Middle East because it's the middle of the planet, which is east blob-no-thoughts

More seriously, he's just saying words and we all have a rough idea of the real reasons for him building there, e.g. abusing laborers, maybe money from the crown which wi do anything to improve its image, etc.
