Popular YouTube star and philanthropist Mr Beast has done it again, folks. He’s found a new and innovative way to push the limits of capitalism. In a recent tweet, Mr Beast requested his millions of followers to clean up the presentation of Feastables, a brand of snacks sold in Walmart and soon-to-be other retailers.
At first glance, Mr Beast’s tweet may seem innocent enough. After all, he’s just asking his fans to help improve the presentation of a product they may see in their local store. But look closer, and you’ll see the true genius of Mr Beast’s request: he’s essentially asking for free labor from his followers.
Some might argue that this is simply an act of kindness on Mr Beast’s part, that he genuinely wants to help the Feastables brand and improve the shopping experience. But let’s not forget that Mr Beast is a capitalist at heart. He’s made a fortune by creating content on YouTube and selling merchandise to his millions of fans. He also owns the Feastables brand and stands to benefit the most from its presentation.
So, what does this mean for the future of capitalism? Could we see a new trend of free labor being requested by companies and influencers alike? Will we soon see tweets from other billionaires asking their followers to paint their houses or mow their lawns for free?
Only time will tell, but one thing’s certain: Mr Beast is always one step ahead of the game. He knows how to turn a simple request for help into a viral marketing campaign. And who knows, maybe he’ll even offer a prize to the follower who cleans up the most Feastables displays.
In the meantime, if you see Feastables in your local Walmart, be sure to give the display a little sprucing up. After all, you wouldn’t want to disappoint Mr Beast, would you?
