    MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy “jokes” about buying Black people…

      I mean in a year or so I’m sure the US will allow people “rent” prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

          Yeah that’s the typical chain gang type labor that we’ve always allowed. But I’m pretty sure a random citizen can’t just rent a single person atm. And it’s not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn’t want their own prison “secretary”.

            I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices

            I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.

          Yeah but I meant your everyday American. You’re not walking down the street seeing your local prisoner carrying some yuppie’s shopping bags.

          They’re scraping roadkill off highways and picking cotton. I’m suggesting they’ll change not only what forced labor is allowed but also how it looks.

        The situation with Jacks Films was so fucked up. She literally showed up at his house to try to talk to him about his call out videos.

        YouTube seemed more likely to punish Jacks Films. They basically “both sided” the incident. Absolutely insane. She’s just making YouTube too much money for any of the rules to matter.

          Tell me about it. Dude was in fear for his safety and YouTube are like, jacksfilms was bad too! Eff you, Google. He did nothing wrong.

          His jjjacksfilms channel doesn’t show up in the search bar, which is really weird given it’s a big channel. It’s like YouTube doesn’t want you to find him criticising their little cash cows. Stalkerwolf is invincible.

          YouTube is properly messed up. It’s basically a monopoly though. People won’t post elsewhere if they can’t monetise though 😞 a fedi YouTube alternative will never catch on. At this point I’d even welcome Microsoft or scamazon creating a rival service.

    It’s not exactly the same, and it’s been a long time now, but watching Grace Helbig go from DailyGrace with a vaguely male-catering focus and general no fucks given attitude into becoming Grace Helbig, Internet Big Sister for zoomer girls, was pretty jarring.

    I actually miss the humor that stemmed from an environment where everything was assumed a joke unless it’s missing a punchline. Not the racism/sexism/etc, which was prevalent of the time it became popular, but the style. The edgy style can be done really well (e.g. Bo Burnham, George Carlin, etc…).
