I never bothered to ask and now i’m afraid of being outed as an old for asking.

    You’re not alone. For how immensely popular he is, I’ve yet to ever watch any of his videos, or even have YouTube recommend them to me.

    Only reason I know about him are a few videos from other channels, like the epic rap battles of history episode, and one that was criticizing his ghost kitchen. But I think the first time I heard about him was when every YouTuber was trying to jump on his hype when he was planting a ton of trees or something like that?

    @KingThrillgore @asklemmy YouTuber who make money off of throwing money at people to do ridiculous things.
    I do not like his content cause it feels like a billionaire playing with the little people for his amusement.

      I enjoyed a few when I first came across the channel because it reminded me of those shows from decades ago. The ones where someone comes up to you in a toy / electronics store and you have a minute to grab whatever you can for free. That was a fun concept.

      However a lot more of the videos feel like this, especially with how well known he is now. I don’t think I’m the target age group regardless.
