Recently, a new challenge brewed by the famous YouTube celebrity "Mr. Beast" has caused controversy. He plans to let two pilots challenge their lives on a plane for 100 days without leaving the plane. During this period, the team will provide unlimited fuel. If the challenge is successful, the two pilots can keep the private plane. Some netizens questioned whether "Mr. Beast" risked the pilot's life for entertainment.
When the controversy arose, Mr. Beast was quick to respond. He explained that the plane does not need to be in the sky all the time during these 100 days. Flying is only an "optional". If the two challengers want to stay on the ground for 100 days, it is also allowed. Mr. Beast said that "flying is just an option to make the challenge more interesting."
Additionally, Mr. Beast and his team have a plan to deal with carbon emissions if these pilots want to fly around the world. "We are tracking the carbon emissions produced and carbon offsetting them at the end of the video," he said. Exactly how the team will achieve this goal is unclear.
Mr. Beast has 340 million fans on the YouTube platform. Its channel is currently one of the largest YouTube channels in the world, with each program played an average of more than 200 million times. His shows are known for their hefty prize money and production fees.
