The days you upload are the best days of my life.

When I get that notification I put on my Mr Beast shirt, get a feastable out of the cupboard, and pour myself a glass of milk to enjoy while I watch your newest video several times.

Please rethink this Mr Beast I literally love you.” Another added, “Give me your password so I can continue.”
