  • I like to frame Mr. Beast in the context of the NFL.

    The Super Bowl had 123 million viewers this past year. A 30 second ad slot costs $7 million. This is something we can all wrap our heads around. It’s a big deal, and that’s a lot of people.

    Mr. Beast puts out a video about every 2 weeks. Most get more viewers than the Super Bowl. Some almost double. If every video he makes essentially prints him $20 million in ad and sponsor revenue, I wouldn’t be surprised.

    That’s why he can give away $1 million in a video.





  • It’s an interesting stat. Is this individuals or households? Is it “head of household” or is it also counting minors?

    Regardless, there’s enormous disparity.

    The median wealth in India, according to Wikipedia, is $3755. There’s probably hundreds of millions of people there who fall into the less than $380 category.

    Again, Wikipedia, but Africa has just over 700M inhabitants with a median $1242 wealth. That’s $879B. For everyone on the continent. 8 people have 1.5X more wealth than an entire continent full of people.

    But maybe it’s not 3.6B people. Maybe it’s 3B or only 2B people. It’s still not OK.

    This is it. The 2nd string tight end was in for that play and whiffed on the block that led to the fumble. Kelce was screaming “Leave me in, leave me in,” which is a fair point because he’s a monster blocker. I’d give the edge to Kittle for blocking, but still really good.

    I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can’t comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it’s real.

    For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.

    But, “Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity” feels like an Onion article title.
