Fuck that guy and his fake-ass smile. I manually hid the show so I don’t have to look at his dead-eyed mug.
- His face upsets me so much
- I thought he got cancelled
  
  No one ever actually gets cancelled if they have money and influence.
  If they aren't dead they weren't cancelled, they just got free publicity in the form of backlash.
Don't give this sociopathic fuck more publicity
On the show where he refused to follow union rules for crew safety and proper procedures. At the same time they are spending millions per episode? The guy that’s company has a history of sexual harassment in his office. The very same man that exploits poor people and rigs games with friends and family? Nah.
I feel like I went from "who dafuck is Mr.Beast?" to "I'm sick of seeing this guy's smug ass face" in like 0.02 milliseconds.
