      Selling illegal lotteries to kids, in the form of T-shirts. Then spending 0.001% of it to show how much of a "saint" he is. Also accepting donations from Gates foundation and similar organisation to peddle climate-change optimism propaganda through shell NGOs, getting huge tax writeoffs? Skipping out on organisations/unions related to game fairness and stage safety to cut costs over OSHA guidelines? Make certain incidents on CGI to cut costs again? Rinse, repeat. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat again? Sukkseccs!

Pansino believes that MrBeast is trying to recreate Squid Game and is leaving the viewer with a disturbing image of Jimmy dressed like the villain from Squid Game.

    At long last, I have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus
