You Tuber claims Mr.Beast faked all his videos and competitions

[Del.]

All I had was hide and seek, kickball, tetherball, softball, baseball, bicycling, football, hunting, fishing, and other stuff like that.

And those spinning rides you got flung off of.

Same here. We could fill 2 teams playing baseball from neighborhood. Camping out was popular also.

All I'm saying is watching someone play a video game isn't as brain-rotting as some people think

Yes it is...when you can spend time enhancing your ability and/or knowledge, video games are a complete waste of time. They should be relegated to the "entertainment" category and time on them limited.

JM2C YMMV

I agree it's in the entertainment category, but some people seem to think watching someone else play a video game is another level of unproductive, almost like it makes you dumber.

I put watching YT in the same category as watching a sporting event. You shouldn't spend the majority of your free time watching sports OR YT, but I also wouldn't consider either a waste of time.

I should also add improve your relationship/relationships....

Except for Incog, he's just screwed

When she asked "Do these pants make my ass look Fat"??


I said "Yes"

[Incogneeto]

She said she wanted "an Honest Relationship"

I said "OK"

I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, I think that's a fair comparison.

It's not something I'd consider doing but I know some other youngsters that do it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I get my news here (for better or worse). Typically there's a couple different views on any given topic, and when something happens yall are pretty quick to post and talk about it.

I don't have any social media. I didn't have a smart phone until 2018, and it seemed like social media didn't provide any benefits to me. I was already addicted to youtube at that point so I saw no reason to try and get addicted to something else. In hindsight I think it was a great decision.

You get your news here! 😂😭
Yeah, social media is garbage anyway, I'm very addicted to instagram, I also use it to promote my business so I make it work for me.

Have you thought about making some YouTube videos?

My issue - to this day - about watching streamers, is that you can play any video game yourself without much hassle. I never understood the draw of watching someone do something you can do yourself, other than to learn. 99.9% of humanity can't just waltz out to Daytona and put in laps, nor can they kick a field goal under pressure, hell I bet the same number can't saw a straight line. I do understand watching sports, there is a spectacle (with value?) in viewing athletes and competition in top form.

I was in university when the whole phenomenon started, and the boys were constantly watching other people game, and I would always rather improve my own lap times than that any day. Add to that a huge portion of streamers play low-skill games like Minecraft, and it boggles the mind to imagine the view numbers total.

Looking up some cheese strats, or walkthroughs of tough sections - that makes sense to me. I was always a player, not a watcher and never understood it. I posit there is a physiological/psychological aspect to watching streamers, that it is on a screen in front of you (as if you are playing) and your brain is tricked into thinking you're playing, getting that same sense of satisfaction or accomplishment. Worth a study, since the medium is extremely well established and super popular with the developing mind.

I'm a gamer myself, if I had more free time I'd be splattering brains on call of duty all day, but I get extremely additcted to call of duty, so it doesn't co-exist with the rest of my life

I love the video of the dad piling all of his sons games out in the yard and son is going insane as dad drives his zero turn mower over them. 😝
