MrBeast is the ultimate modern YouTube phenomenon—your kids are either already watching or will be soon. The good news: it's relatively clean, genuinely helps people, and beats a lot of the toxic content out there. The bad news: it's engineered for maximum engagement (read: addictive), promotes consumerism heavily, and treats charity like a game show.

The content itself isn't harmful, but the effect can be. That dopamine-hit pacing trains brains for constant stimulation, and the wealth-worship messaging ('everyone should be a millionaire giving away money!') is a lot. Plus, once they're in the MrBeast ecosystem, YouTube's algorithm will serve up endless similar content, some far worse.

It's not the devil, but it's also not enriching television. Think of it as digital candy—fine in moderation, but you wouldn't want it as a staple. Watch a video together, talk about what's happening, and set clear boundaries about screen time. The biggest risk isn't MrBeast himself; it's the rabbit hole that follows.
