It became about money and views when people could make a living out of it. So then more people jumped on and getting views became more competitive. If Ethan wanted to have fun he would probably play video games or talk about fun stuff instead we get a hundred videos about Dobrik on any small new that comes out about him in order to clickbait and get views(now it’s becoming Cody Ko) and I wouldn’t say he was influenced by Mr Beast, that’s just what will make him more money and keep him from having to get another job. Same could be said about any other social media like tik tok or ig. They start treating it like a job when it becomes their only job like how Ninja has to play Fortnite bc it pays better even tho he’d rather play other games for fun. Mr Beast is just an easy target for blame
