This is cool but will any of it explain the most pressing MrBeast question: why does he smile like that? I'm assuming it's because he's always thinking about how terrible a person he is.

I believe its because they A-B tested his thumbnails, editors found that they vacuumed slightly more eyeballs when he was smiling, and updated the thumbnail images of him not smiling with photoshop.

The fault isn't with the photoshop though, he just doesn't have a soul so it actually looks like that when he smiles.

I'm honestly obsessed with it because it's so baffling. It takes effort to make your smile look this fake, and dedication to stick with it year after year. There's no way he hasn't been told how bad it looks, and how he could simply squint his eyes just a tad and it would look so much more natural. It's got to be a choice.
