The comments replying seem to ignore one of the key aspects of your opinion. It's about Mr Beast getting his name and face on every interaction. If the networks shoved "WERE GONNA BLOW UP THIS LABORGHINI BECAUSE CBS!" "WERE GONNA FEED THIS HOMELESS DUDE! CBS! CBS!" ad nauseam it would be a different animal, but somehow ostentatious displays of consumption and self-promotion are acceptable for some.
