His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he's still... I have no idea. I don't know anyone who watches him. It can't just be kids.

You underestimate kids and their amount free time.

but someone's buying all the merch

That’s the kids parents for their kids.

I didn't mean to imply it's all kids. Just that they can be the majority. Regardless, parents buy stuff for their kids all the time. You think adults are buying tons of hot wheels and barbies for themselves?

As a childless millennial, yes.

You underestimate kids' ability to manipulate their parents to buy things

but someone keeps taking a dump on his lawn every morning.

I'm a grown ass man and love his videos because they're light-hearted and generally wholesome. Like where he rescued 100 dogs from kill shelters and helped get them adopted. But some of the more recent ones are just wasteful or dumb.

Roblox has completed its long-awaited direct listing on the NYSE, with shares closing at $69.47 for a fully diluted value of $45.3 billion—a gargantuan valuation for a video game company that rose to prominence and saw massive growth during the pandemic

Why exactly can’t it just be kids?

I think Roblox has more adult players than Mr. Beast has adult viewers
