"The latest YouTube video stunt by one James "MrBeast" Donaldson has already wracked up over 46 million views in just one day and it's not hard to imagine why. Titled " Would You Risk Dying For $500,000? " it shows a series of challenges in which people brave flame-engulfed obstacles in exchange for money. It's kind of like David Blaine if, instead of doing absurd and wild stuff himself, he paid other people to do it"
"The infernal trap that's been drawing the most attention is one in which a stuntman is tied to a chair inside a "burning house" and has to escape and save as much money as he can from inside the house in order to earn the highest cash prize possible. Donaldson bounces back and forth between urgent warnings about how real the flames are and mugging the camera with jokes about MrBeast product placement."
