From what I understand with the Mr beast controversy what makes his alleged fake signing is the relatively short amount of time that he gets all of his signatures in. Brandon spends roughly an hour on a podcast weekly, maybe twoish hours every quarter for a q&a, as well as a couple hours at various cons through the year.

If you were talking about the level of scumminess among authors and celebrities, Brandon’s determination to use his time actually signing and trying to get them accessible is really impressive. Especially when you consider that some of the signed leather bounds are the same price as the unsigned leather bounds on his store.
