Its addictive design exploits attention, fuels echo chambers, and undermines privacy. A breeding ground for misinformation and cyberbullying, it's time we reflect on its true societal cost.

MrBeast AKA MrMoney
YouTube's biggest name. I must say this guy could as well be the face of the entire platform! From his challenges to giving out wads of cash, this guy is so rich, he is giving it all away! This makes me ponder how does MrBeast do his taxes? I bet his accountants are losing their minds as I write these words.
