A few comments totally miss the point of the document
which is to _codify_ the _culture_ that it takes to build ~~a~~ the _most_ successful media empire of the last 10 years.

I'm _definitely_ not saying that it's what _everyone_ should follow!
The "Toxic Culture" at Mr. beast is widely documented e.g: https://youtu.be/jiD8svbQtYs?t=1051

"Toxic culture with a lot of bullying" ... 😕

The point of this issue/thread is not to debate the good/bad of `Mr Beast`, ⚖️
so I will refrain from sharing _my_ thoughts/opinions ... 🙊
just that I wouldn't let _my_ children watch _any_ `Mr Beast` because it's _designed_ to be addictive not to _educate/inform_. 🙅

But focussing purely on the "onboarding into company culture" value of this `PDF`, it's a master class. 💭
