I honestly can’t watch an hour long video right now. Does anyone have a TLDW? I skimmed through the first 10 mins and it’s all about his videos being scripted, edited, and using paid actors. That’s not really surprising. What I’m curious about is if he really gives away all that money and stuff (i.e. cars, houses) to people. The video probably goes into that later on but I haven’t gotten to it.
The TL:DW is Mr. Beast is a master of using gambling psychology to capture kids’ attention, to then sell them horribly unhealthy foods. His contests and giveaways are largely fake and/or are rigged to favor other creators, friends and family. He constantly fails to deliver promised prizes, and he runs live streams that are essentially child gambling masquerading as sweepstakes. He violates sweepstakes laws all the time but seems to get away with it by taking down old streams, and DMCAs any clips that get uploaded by others. He has also promoted a scheme to get his fans to act as child labor and stock/organize his products at Walmart.
Damn how is this just now coming out?
Like I figured most of it had to be bullshit when I found the “Mr. Beast Burger” ghost kitchens on Uber eats.
I ordered it once and I was very disappointed when it wasn’t actually ground Mr. Beast.
0/10 and have started a class action lawsuit if anyone wants to join.
The video author posted this comment under the video which goes over his main claims:
"Claims I provide evidence for in this video:
-
Many MrBeast videos are fake, contests are unfairly rigged, and contestants are often undisclosed friends and family of MrBeast employees, or employees themselves.
-
MrBeast has run multiple illegal lotteries targeting children. (I estimate they profited over $10,000,000 from these lotteries)
-
MrBeast knowingly sold merch with fake autographs while claiming on his website that “The autographed piece is genuine”. (fraud imo)
Also MrBeast knew about Kris being a pdf"
Ohh that’s what was meant. I thought it was about some document before reading your comment.
Also MrBeast knew about Kris being a pdf"
What is this about? I tried looking it up but all I’m getting is weird right wing shit.
It’s spoken about in the video, but a woman called Kris that worked for Mr Beast had some controversy come about I think grooming children or being a pedophile (not sure about details). Mr Beast feigned ignorance about it, but the guy in the OP video claims it was an “open secret everybody knew”. He also says it’s even worse than “just” that because Mr Beast’s company specifically works with understanding how to manipulate child psychology and bring children in, and videos etc have brought minors into easier access by Kris.
You might be getting a lot of weird right wing shit because Kris is a trans woman and a common right wing accusation against trans people is that they are pedophiles.
I feel the same. For me, anything over 10 minutes and I speed it up to 1.5 speed. I barely notice and saved roughly 20 min off of it. This is also continued so it seems like there will be like 3 or more videos covering various subjects.
I used to have a lecturer at university and I got to the point where I could not stand being in his lectures, and I had to watch the recordings at two times, just to make him sound like a normal human.
He didn’t speak slowly, he just drooled every word, sooo heee woulddddd talllllk likeeeee thissss.
The problem is that kids obviously don’t care about this, and parents will dump the iPad or phone on their kids so they don’t have to deal with them, thus keeping his channel alive.
Fuck I hope its true, he’s been setting off alarm bells with me since day one and I couldn’t put my finger on why. Never mind the whole “do a song and dance and I’ll buy you new eyes” thing.
Holy shit tell me about it, but I kinda thought maybe I was just being paranoid about it because of all the money that he has put towards philanthropic things.
My kid has come across his videos several times, the algorithm absolutely pushes his stuff to kids. I haven’t known about him for very long, but he does create some interesting videos. Never watched any that were giveaways or stuff but I have seen some of the contest and destination ones. They were obviously edited videos, but it’s a shame to also hear the games and people used are all setup as well. Guess we’re about to add another horrible YT personality to the canceled list?
