Asmongold.
It’s not about his politics—his videos are solid background noise, honestly. He can even be based sometimes. But it’s not his content that bugs me; it’s him as a person. The dude’s super cheap, unclean, and a straight-up hoarder.
His fans lost their minds—OMG, so offended—when MrBeast cornered him to donate to charity. Yeah, maybe it was a shady move, but Asmongold’s a millionaire. 100K is pocket change for him. By his own admission, he barely spends on anything besides basic living expenses, so it’s not like they were asking him to break the bank. It felt like a setup, sure, but they knew he could afford it because he’s sitting on a fortune. They trolled him because they know he is cheap.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m no “eat the rich” lefty. I’ve got zero issues with YouTubers or rich people who are frugal and spend wisely. Rich folks living normal, non-flashy lives? Totally fine. I’m cool with people being richer than me; that’s not the problem. But Asmongold? He’s not that kind of frugal. He’s the type that makes my skin crawl, reminding me of the worst people I’ve met—folks with literal millions in their bank accounts who don’t mind if their kids or elderly parents are sleeping on the floor or can’t even afford food.
I can’t stand people who have wealth but choose to create poverty and misery for themselves and their families. Asmongold’s got more money than most will see in a lifetime, yet he lives like a bum in a third-world country. His place is a mess, he refuses to clean up or live like a normal person, despite winning the YouTube algorithm lottery.
It’s not just quirky; it’s depressing. He’s got the cash to live comfortably, to make life better for himself and those around him.
I’ll give him this: he’s an entertaining streamer, and for all I know, he might be a decent guy that secretly donates money for good causes and needy people . I can admire frugality but not cheapness, and artificial poverty is outright depressing.
