        I watched a video about it, and what’s interesting to me is that he had an enormous budget for this Squid Game remake. He spent it on setting up hundreds of cameras, building a whole set where the game would take place, hired all kinds of camera operators… but didn’t do even basic play-testing of the games he was going to have people play.

        As a result, some challenges that were supposed to last for an hour or so ended up taking more than 12 hours. Some challenges that were supposed to eliminate half the contestants instead eliminated over 90%. Some challenges didn’t work because people refused to eliminate their friends.

        But for 5k a day… Yeah, I’d waste three months of my life for that kind of money

          Of course you would. I probably would too. It’s life changing money. But the morality of these ‘challenges’ is extremely fucked. And $5k a day is pocket change to Mr Beast who makes $1.6 million a day 🤮

      A 2.5 million private jet is, uh, probably not new.

      The smallest Very Light Jets, like the Cessna Mustang or HondaJet, start around $5 million new.

      So you’re probably looking at a decades old plane, almost certainly not enough room to fully stand up, and possibly no lavatory.

        It could be a Cirrus Vision Jet.

        Edit: holy shit they’ve gone up in price to $3.2M. Damn inflation hitting private jets too. Nobody’s immune

        I looked this up. It was a Hawker 400XP, worth about $2.4 million. Yes, it’s a tiny jet.

            So if this pilot users his new Jet to smuggle more drugs, is Mr Beast an accomplice?

      That’s literally a description of society. Not just modern society, society throughout all of history. The rich and powerful have always toyed with the peasants.
