breastfeeding videos are far and away the most popular videos on youtube that do not ever get included in the rec algo

it's basically porn for children who can't get around the porn blockers their parents put in


Lol

he still watches both 😀


but on a more serious note, they often just use their parents account so even without shenanigans of intentional deception, it'll appear to advertisers as if someone in their 40s is watching

Nah, don't think he ever watched breast feeding porn though I would be more okay with that than him watching some dude who has a diddler in his team.

Can also confirm this yes.


What's "some dude who has a diddler in his team"?


Mr Beast had someone on his team who I think stepped down because they were found sending inappropriate messages to minors.

Edit: Allegedly. No clue if confirmed or not.


Ah right, not up to date with the latest Mr Beast news here as you can tell.

On this page alone, outside of PW (who likely has an older account somewhere), every account is 10+ years old

Yeah, you're right that most social media platforms are most heavily in the age group of 18-30 but I think the shift towards an increasing age in many places - like facebook and reddit makes a lot of sense with peoples habits and what they like.

The avg reg user here is probably 40 atm, while the avg age in 2009 was probably 28 - mainly because it's a lot of the same people and habits are hard to break. I would assume that there is going to be a fair amount of amalgamation across social media platforms towards maybe fb, youtube and reddit with the user age continuing to increase.

I remember as a kid with video games in the late 80s and 90s being heavily weighted towards kids and younger people with adults a lot less interest. Now, it seems like video games are appreciated by all age groups way more than before for similary reasons.

Yeah can't say I care much about Mr Beast either but have to make sure my kid is not watching **** he shouldn't be watching.

I don't understand why you guys want to keep lying obscenely like this.For ex they all know trump wants to deport every single illegal alien the federal government gets in contact with in any way.And they all agree, and it isn't policy now, but trump promises it will be.Why do you lie, when you know this is obviously true, denying MAGA is about explicit, transparent, policy cha

Let’s be honest here, there’s no thread in politics where this guy can be avoided. And holy crap at how many posts this guy makes per day exclusively posting in politics

And for someone who is a magnet for getting people banned for getting people to respond to his incendiary attacks in people he sure gets to make a lot of incendiary attacks on people


you know how in werewolf some games would have # of posts per day restrictions...


mod chat werewolf game? who's in?

I dont know about the breastfeeding thing, but my own empirical evidence supports this observation. My son and multiple nephews all used to watch Mr. Beast videos, and they all aged out by 12 years old at the latest.

Also, I passively saw plenty of videos, including videos with "Chris" (his sidekick who became trans and then had the child porn thing), and I would not ban Mr. Beast just for that. Same as I would not ban my kids from watching Good Will Hunting because of Epstein's behavior. At some point you have to be able to separate the art from the artist, especially when it is supporting cast behavior.


What did Epstein have to do with Good Will Hunting?


Wait, did you mean Weinstein?


by d2_e4

Wait, did you mean Weinstein?

Yes


The guy is averaging 50 posts per day, all of them are in politics, and every thread in this forum gets derailed by him and by people responding to his attacking people or ideologies

Plz explain to me to why this is allowable when calling him out on it gets you banned?

I would never suggest someone should get banned for far right viewpoints but the guy is toxicity en masse and you’re more than willing to ban people for attacking the guy who literally lives his life 24/7 in this subforum spewing nonsense and attacks

The trans thing is not relevant. He’s a grown man he can go ahead and masquerade as a woman all he wants.

You should however “ban” him for having someone on his team who likes to send inappropriate messages to minors.

The powers that be stopped giving a **** years ago.

That's an insanely stupid standard. Every person with an organizational structure should be banned as soon as one person in their org is found to be doing something morally wrong?

I’m fine with them not giving a **** but then I keep finding a way to eat 1 week bans or inexplicable infractions for calling him on his bullshit

If you stop giving a **** about that I’m perfectly content with them not giving a **** about Luciom

Calling it "calling him out on bullshit" is a bit disingenuous bro. You keep getting banned for personal attacks, which you readily acknowledge are such by prefacing them with "I'm gonna eat a ban for this, but..." I mean, what do you expect to happen?
