The Trial of Mr. Beast

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Mr. Beast's popularity and his influence on society, particularly on children.

A boy named Jimmy studied internet algorithms instead of books and created a gigantic empire to become the most subscribed to YouTuber and is now a billionaire with multiple product lines and dealings with Saudi Arabia, cause hey why not?! Jake argues that he’s just a symptom of the world we live in and providing the entertainment we deserve while Mike thinks his popularity is bad for society, especially kids (Helen Lovejoy: Won’t someone think of the children?!) Holden is somewhere in the middle. You won’t get any money for listening to this whole episode, but hey you might learn something! Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
