I remember someone awhile ago described him as a rich guy giving away life changing amounts of money so long as the pesents dance for him.
tbh despite how accurate this description it i understand why he does that. To give away money you need to have money, and he makes his money by creating videos on YouTube, a video where someone does a challenge and earns a million dollars is going to be much more popular than a video of him just walking around and giving people money (again)
Yup. It's like an actor getting typecast as a tough guy who always kicks ass and never gets his ass kicked, makes tons of money from it, and then everyone complaining about him only ever playing a tough guy.
I'm sure a few names come to mind. But they're rich and stuck in that role because most people subconsciously agreed they should be rich and stuck in that role (by liking those movies and going to see them).
I mean I just think of him as zoomer game show host. So that's a bit harsh.
Most of his challenges either are straight rips or would feel right at home in survivor/fear factor, then some challenges are just big brother straight up.
But I suppose you can say the same thing about all game shows that have normal folks on it competing for life changing amounts of money.
Business owners are just guys who will give away money as long as the peasants work for them!
Ya. That’s kinda the standard, the problem comes from exploitation. “Perform on an international stage to potentially be paid a small percentage of profits” seems pretty remarkable.
