The ultra rich:

I'd do it for $10!

The bourgeoisie already does that offer, the proletariat can't choose it.

This is an old twilight zone episode. A women is given a box with one button on it and told to press it is she wants the money, but someone she doesn’t even know will die.

She decides the push the button, and then someone comes to collect the button device, saying that it will now be reset and taken to someone else now for the same challenge. Some random person on earth. Implying that she will be the next to die if the button gets pushed.

Frankly not a bad system. Slowly cleanses the selfish from the earth.

No.

Also, fuck Mr. Beast. A billionaire proposing yet another Trolley Problem for amusement and engagement bait.

Jokes aside, no. I don't think I'd do it for $100 million. I seriously don't.

The justifications y'all are providing don't work for me. Maybe it's because I have a son, and I can imagine he would be the one to die, then I remember everyone is the child of someone, or the friend, etc.

I will not be the knowing cause of the death of some random person just for money. You guys can have it. No, thank you.

Can I only use it once?

That is happening everyday, done by thousands of people who could have stopped those deaths readily. Just they are obsessed with more wealth.

You pay taxes in the US, you've already paid for the random death of people.

I'll take 0,01 if it ensures that the person who dies is a billionaire

Yes. In fact I'll keep at it until Mr Beast is the one who drops dead. It's not about the money, but the principle of the thing.

Does the name of that random person rhyme with "rump" or "rootin" ?

if anyone presses the button and I die I'm haunting your stupid ass forever

He’d do anything for attention, so I could see this video happening in future if he felt that social media would support him

I'd press it at least 500 times. Maybe more, you need to make sure it works and one random death isn't going to make the news. So gotta put in work and press it as many times in one instance. And, I get paid at the end?

It's a life, how much could it cost. $10,000?

I’m not sure I can answer that yet.

So what I’d suggest is sending me 10k and i’ll see if I take. However I’d also suggest we do multiple runs just to confirm consistency. I hear 100 times is a good number for checking consistencies.

About 2 people are dying every second regardless, so if i don't take the money, 2 people die.

Im actually saving a life by briefly capping the death rare at 1.

That's the premise of the Twilight Zone episode "Button, Button". After she pressed it, the man making the deal said he'd go to "a random person on Earth" offering the same to them (implying that the person being killed will be the one who pushed the button earlier in the chain)

the only way i'm ever pushing a stupid ass button like that is if hunger gets solved or manufactured housing scarcity disappears, and i'm the only one that dies.

tf is wrong with some of you?

In my current situation (ok economically but not without worries), wouldn't fucking take a million, nor a billion for that matter. It is not like all my consumption habits are %100 devoid of someone else's suffering or maybe even death, indirectly. But having a vague idea about bad effects of consumption habits vs knowing it will be a direct cause of death is two completely different things imo. On the otherhand if my life or a loved one's life depends on that money, that is a harder question and I don't think I can really know the answer without going through it and deciding.

Ok now lets do billionaires but 100mil and ten thousand people in a far away country dies.

This is the trolley problem on steroids tbh. I have $10.000 in my savings. I could use them to save a whole lot more than one life! Yet I don’t. At face value this is no different from accepting the money and a rando kicks the bucket.

No.

Counter proposition: for every €10 I pay, a random fascist dies. I'm willing to spend all my money, and am willing to take gifts from others to continue paying more amounts of €10 for as long as I have any. I'll even spend €100 to prioritize highly influential fascists first.

That sums up the IQ of Mrbeast fanbase right there, peak irony.

This is basically what we living in developed countries are all doing every day.

RIP 750,000 random strangers.

Every time I pet my cat, a random stranger somewhere in the world dies. There's 8 billion people in the world, at least a few hundred are born and die every minute.

Since people are already dying at random I would take it. Given they do not actively enforce the dying part.

remember that cring video he did with KSI, its like they were in cave in afghanistan, and he had a gun to the guests head to force them to eat his lunchly.
