MrBeast's "Red Ink" Cheat Code: Why He Loses $80M a Year on Purpose 🩸
MrBeast loses $80M a year on purpose. 🩸 While amateurs panic at the red ink, he used it to build a $5B empire. He isn't in the video business; he's in the Attention business. Like Costco’s $4.99 chicken, he uses "Loss Leaders" to buy customers. 🍗 But here is the catch: You can't execute this strategy with your own cash flow. You need a War Chest to float the gap. Stop saving your way to the top. Start funding your way to a monopoly. 🚀

The economy is getting richer, but it decided it doesn't need you to do it. Stop playing by the old rules. Don't get hired. Get funded. Here is the math behind the "Glitch."

2. You're forced into an "Interest Rate Gamble" (one "Amateur" saw his 6.50% rate jump 42.3% to 9.25%).
3. The punchline? A Chase banker told us 95% of applicants get denied anyway.
You're not a borrower. You're a victim of the process. Stop waiting in line.
