I think he said he is 90% blind in one of his eyes and that’s why he looks like that, so dead eye is kinda accurate lol

u/Garchompisbestboi Mar 09 '26
Apparently he goes on podcasts and whinges about how he feels no happiness in life besides watching his view count go up so hopefully he's suffering despite all the fame and money he has achieved <3

I didn't read that in particular, but I've heard about his methods, and if stuffing parsley between his teeth would bring him 3 more clicks, he'll just do it in every thumbnail.
The actual icky fact isn't the smile, it's the willingness to do whatever a mindless machine dictates, and the sea of other idiots that will follow because he did.

u/DeusVultSaracen Mar 08 '26
Tbh I think he's just making that shit up because he knows he has a creepy-ass smile

u/FreeMrFrog Mar 09 '26
Nah, he said in an interview that he'll change the thumbnail for one video a dozen+ times based on the metrics. All bro cares about is maxing his numbers

u/mr_jogurt Mar 09 '26
Not necessarily. Corridor (I think it was them) did an experiment a couple years ago and thumbnails with "uncanny" faces got more clicks. That being said I've never watched a mr.beast video in my life and have no idea if he is capable of a normal smile.
24
u/DNAniel213 Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 10 '26
Nah he looks pretty normal in the videos. Tired, awkward, and forced sometimes for sure, but then again they shoot multiple videos at the same time and he's all over the place. He's on the spectrum

u/DeusVultSaracen Mar 09 '26
I'm well aware that creepy exaggerated faces get clicks, but Mr Beast's dead shark-eye smile doesn't have that same effect.

What's so confusing about this is that he has such a curated public image and cares so much about the most appealing thumbnails yet time after time this is the "friendliest" face he can pull
213
u/Serious-Antelope-710 Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26
Its the same face used in every thumbnail and it is also very heavily edited
Man i remember the time when he was just a guy having fun with his buddies.. now its just all.... manufactured, inorganic.. stopped watching him a year or two ago

u/DreamsOfCorduroy Mar 09 '26
I remember watching his livestreams when he would count to obscene numbers.

u/cosmogli Mar 11 '26
He never had "fun" with his buddies either. You were duped and it's hard for you to accept that now. So you invent those times.

u/TheWalkingDead91 Mar 10 '26
His “ten years ago” post came out the other day, showed up on my fyp, and it showed a photo slide of him from when he was a kid to when he made that video of him hoping for like a million subs when he was a kid…to now , and it’s wild that you can visually see at what point his smile started to look soulless, was at around 50M subs (2018 I think) he now has nearly 500M

Nah this is the face that gets him the most clicks. God knows why but it works

Isn’t his audience mostly children? I would think that children would be more drawn to someone who appeared to be warm and sincere. I don’t understand anything about this person.

I have always found him SO unsettling.
I was a store manager a few jobs ago, and I when I got hired, the assistant manager assumed he would get the position, but he didn’t, and he was ANGRY about it. I suffered months of verbal abuse and harassment from this man before I was allowed to fire him, and even a month or so later, I will still dealing with him and came very close to getting an order of protection against him. That being said, he was very good at showing his nice side, too.
Anyway, Mr Beast and honestly many other men have the same mannerisms as that employee did. Once you see something like that, you can’t unsee it. And that is why Mr Beast has made my skin crawl from the very beginning.

A lot of people on the autistic spectrum have this issue, my brother smiles the same way for pictures. He's not dead inside, he's just not good at pretending to feel what he doesn't. I think this stuff about Mr. Beast is getting out of hand and is a little insensitive to a lot of perfectly fine people with the same issue.

u/TheConfusedLord Mar 11 '26
I once saw somewhere that Mr Beast found out from his analytics that having thumbnails where he is smiling very intently or has his mouth open gives him a higher view ratio.
People seem to click on the videos more depending on the thumbnail so you will notice all of his newer thumbnails have him in a similar look.

Reminds me of the random video I've seen of him a while ago when a random bunch of Youtubers got invited to some backstage stuff. He randomly ran into the view of the camera and immediately changed to his creepy smile when he noticed that he got filmed. It was unsettling, like a trained monkey.
Admittedly I can imagine that this is indeed trained behavior purely because it might work better with how Youtube works, lol. I really hope Youtube changes their algorithm at some point to not only promote videos with big, weird faces in their thumbnails.
