    @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.

      My understanding is that he got his start doing extreme challenges himself, so now that he’s got the money, he challenges fans and gives prize payouts. He also still does his own challenges once in a while.
