The other day we were at my SIL's and all the nephews and nieces were unsupervised watching AI slop on youtube (they seldom are, but it was one of those mornings) then one of them changes channel and it's MrBeast, auto-dubbed by youtube... doing a show where he locks up a guy in a fake store and.... the premise made no sense at all, the show was essentially a typical dumb TV game/show from 20 years ago : gratuitous premise, vacuous talk and lots of money involved (the guy made like 100 grand from putting items in carts and living inside the fake store for a month). And once in a while the MrBeast itself appeared and gave the camera this creepy smile, saying "I gotta go now, I have a shoot planned in Africa!" I rolled my eyes. "In Africa". It could be anywhere... That guy is ignorant to top it off
