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?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

he manages to project such soullessness and yet without malice. like cosmos.

anti-christ should be charming, i think.

Come to beast land and worship the graven images

What an amazing business decision. I can't wait to hear about kids failing to pester their parents to go to fucking Saudi Arabia of all places to visit this outhouse of a location.

Osama bin Laden blew his load way too early.

Would love to see the usual liberal stooges defending this and treating him like some angelic savior

From what little I know of Mr Beast he reminds me of this one episode of Only Fools and Horses that takes place in the future and Del Boy has a monopoly on basically every industry on earth.
