He actually did a market study and realized that his videos with that smile on the thumbnail got more views. Like, a lot more. So he quietly started adding it into every thumbnail. He even went back to old videos are replaced the old thumbnails with ones that had that smile.
As for why that stupid smile makes his videos more popular? No clue. Kids are weird, and he does well in that demographic. So maybe it’s just a meme at this point. But the reason he’s known for that smile is ironically because it makes him more money.
So he’s even more soulless than I previously thought
Like a car crash. Horrible but can't look away.
I doubt he's overthinking his smile, he just isn't actually smiling. He's just moving his mouth.
A genuine smile has the muscles around and under the eyes contributing as well.
Y'all should read Transmetropolitan: It predicted twitter journalism/politics, streaming, the abundance of porn, bubble theory, etc.
It predicted Jordan Bardella too:
The caption says the RN literally paid a coach to teach him to smile. With taxpayer money of course.
The Smiler is Tony Blair.
I wish Warren Ellis hadn’t been such a crook bloke.
Seconded. This and Nausicaa are the best comic series ever.
Because he is a creepy ass motherfucker.
Mr. Sociopath
Ugh, I loathe that soulless POS.
Look, his eyes don't smile. So his mouth just does an imitation of a smile he likely did have to train for in front of a mirror.
He has the cold, dead eyes of a shark.
Like a doll’s eyes…
His smile reminds me of the dead eyes of a "smiley" flight attendant at the end of a long haul.
Or my wife after we've had our monthly eight seconds of fun times.
I have to believe she takes care of it all on the first of the month so she knows she'll have 4 full weeks of peace.
I'm not sure if this is a meme or a meta-analysis of our current dystopia...
...and dear god what is Mr. Beast doing with his other hand?
May he too be met with a horrible fate.
The song you play to summon that statue is called, "The Elegy of Emptiness." Make of that what you will.
Both have a fixed smile with dead eyes
The fascinating thing about Mr Beast is that the bigger his smile is, the sadder he looks.
omg you’re right!
Has he really not like practiced on a warmer smile by now?
because the eyes are a window to the soul, and this is what it looks like when there's nothing there to see.
You shouldn't have done that...
You mean Ben Drowned?
