The first and only Mr Beast video I watched (partially) was the one where the had two teenagers stick their hands on the big pile of cash for many hours.

All I remember is the one kid fucking up and obviously becoming emotionally traumatized over it.

I thought it was fucked up exploitative slop for children. I remembered the mother who famously died holding her her pee to try to win her child a Wii (back when their were all sold out). I was surprised they still did those type of static-holding competitions still.

My initial impressions have been totally validated.
