Parasocial Relationships, Food Processing Factory Fires, Chicken Feed Questions & Bill Gates

Recently, Mr. Beast, Youtuber with over 131 million subscribers made a video titled "1,000 blind people see for the first time." The video itself performed pretty well, yet was met with mixed reviews. Many people praised Mr. Beast and the video for the positive impact it made on 1,000 people's personal lives. Alternatively, others criticized the video proclaiming that Mr. Beast is "demonic" and that he exploits people for content since they believed he acts for financial gain. Unironically, the people who criticize Mr. Beast are likely critical of every facet of society that they don't personally like. If you turn the tables just a bit, their criticism becomes appreciation or worship. Our general question is this; why should they care? They're not friends with Mr. Beast nor any of the public servants, celebrities, or individuals that they appreciate so much, yet their criticisms seem to attack the ethical nature of an individual whom they don't know, who's running a business. Could this be some strange byproduct of parasocial relationships, virtue signaling, or society's unhealthy relationship with public figures? We'll talk about that in this episode.

Recently, a company owned by Supply Chain Digital called Resilinc released a report revealing that the top driver of supply chain disruption in 2022 was factory fires. In 2022, there were 3,609 fire alerts, an 85% year-on-year increase, which is the most ever recorded in a single year. Resilinc has determined that the causes were labor disruptions and inexperience. In addition to the supply chain issues, a recent observation about the quality of chicken feed has popped up on social media. Many individuals have started questioning whether the feed companies have altered their product to stop backyard hens from laying eggs, thus driving up demand for commercial eggs, or to cause people to switch to plant-based alternatives. Both of these issues sound wild to us, so we'll make sure to cover them as well!

Join the Wolf, Bull, and Baewolf in episode 84 as they dive into a conversation about parasocial relationships, the recent events with food processing and logistics, the chicken feed concerns, and our favorite worldwide influencer, Bill Gates. It's a great episode and we hope you enjoy it!
