No shit. Billionaire pays poor people to embarrass or endanger themselves, uses it to promote himself.
Here’s an idea for a video: Mr. Beast and the Box of Knives. Him, the people he exploits, and a box of knives. Whoever kills him gets to keep his money.
That’s the content I want to see.
I’ve got to say, I’m disappointed in Lemmy for the amount of upvotes you’re receiving for a comment as sickening as this.
Killing someone just for revenge should never be the answer. That’s the kind of tactic that makes dictators and fascists what they are. The desire to watch something like that is even more alarming.
Yeah bloodthirst is never a good look, especially about something that doesn’t even affect you and is some abstract internet drama vol. 2762
It indicates you are some emotional ball of unpredictable that should probably be monitored by fbi and locked up at any signs of planning. A picture of greasy hair, basement, ar15 appears in my mind. Stained Mickey Mouse tee
Half of hexbears are like that
They’re not killing him for revenge. They’re killing him for money. Big difference. I’m sure he’s killed quite a few people for money, so I don’t think he has any room to complain.
Maybe the french should’ve just asked nicely for the nobles to treat them better.
Yeah, I agree with you. That shit’s fucked up.
This is what I’ve said about Mr.Beast from day 1. First video I saw of his was putting his friends in a taped off square in some backyard and the last one to leave keeps the car. So a rich asshole makes people dance for money and then he profits off the video for more than he paid. Mr.Beast is 1 of 2 youtubers that I have used an extension to explicitly block me from seeing his videos in my feed.
Please, what is the extension, the people need to know without googling
BlockTube. It let’s you block all kinds of stuff from specific videos to channels, even block shorts outright. I only use the channel block feature, so your milage may vary with the rest of it, but it’s pretty easy to use so it works for me.
That’s the content I want to see.
Not in this here country, boy!
Here the rich punk the losers with impunity while any pleb resistance will be treated as violent felony for even suggesting you are entitled for a raise for the work you do.
Mr. Beast is playing some deathmatch irl
I went into these two videos expecting them to be overblown and petty, totally changed my mind with a good solid string of evidence and explanations.
Which is funny because the top upvoted comment is about how there were no specific claims made.
I agree with you, the evidence is damning, but most of lemmy doesn’t seem to think so (or this thread is being social media managed by Mr. Least’s PR team).
I’ve never watched a single video of his and I could have told you that he’s a sociopath. Normal people do not act like he does.
How do you know how he acts if you never watched a single video?
I think he’s the most popular YouTube currently, or close to it if not. You can’t get around without hearing about him occasionally. The biggest thing I know about him is he does charity videos that he films where he gives poor people a little bit of money. It’s pretty obvious to me it’s just exploitation to improve his image, and also he makes far more money off the video than he gives away. Clearly he isn’t doing it because it’s a good thing, yet somehow people call him a good person because of it.
News articles
Kudos to Kavernacle for being the original hater, he was shit talking Mr Beast 4 years ago in the height of his popularity.
Ill post this comment here too since it’s the same video, but you might want to put a content warning on this video, it’s pretty rough.
The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it’s something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.
This second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can’t see the sun, constant lights so you can’t sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.
If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.
Mr. Beast’s suppurating carcass should be fired into the sun.
EDIT: along with anyone who downvoted this comment. Sorry, pacifists.
Maybe the downvotes are because firing him into the sun would be very expensive. Just fire him into a volcano or something more local than the ball of plasma 8 light minutes away that we have way too much momentum to hit easily.
Upvote for suppuration
Guess who’s gonna make the alt-right turn in a month?
That’s right! It’s Mr
BeastCouchJimmy has done plenty of interviews where he says he is a degenerate. He doesn’t hide it. He’s a dirtbag. If you just watch his videos you may not know, but it’s pretty much in plain sight.
I think doing war crimes on someone is worse than being a degen.
hiring a sex offender when his audience is focused on kids is suspect… then covering for two of them?
GTFO
This fella loves using his leverage manipulating people into whatever the fuck he wants them to do. The border between good and evil is so close it is nearly indistinguishible. Stay the fuck away from him if you can.
My nephew introduced me to him via a video of him taking is friends through more and more expensive airplane trips.
It was cool, extremely showoffy, I never watched any of his stuff after that.
He broke laws to encourage children to gamble, he isn’t dancing the border, he’s flat on the Evil side with a good PR team.
Look at all these people white knighting for a Sociopath being a for profit charity and scammer.
I’m not a YouTube guy; I only follow one channel I found during the Covid lockdowns, this kid called Technoblade who was low key while being really good at the game Minecraft. They worked together sometimes. Didn’t make Mr Beast seem very cool.
From what I’ve seen, he just inserts his loud personality into things by throwing money at people. It was never “hanging out with Mr Beast”, but “Mr Beast is giving out money”. Those guys are generally bad people, I cannot think of an exception.
I’m not sure if you know already but techno passed away not too long ago :(
Yeah, extremely saddening. I watch his father’s videos sometimes and they can be difficult.
Techno’s death was a lot harder to hear about than I expected. I heard about it from a friend that I’d shared a video with and felt genuinely sad. I didn’t even know the guy or watch that many of his videos. I’ve watched dozens of them in the time since when I have nothing else to do and honestly, it’s the celebrity death I’ve cared about most.
He was so young too. Probably younger than 90+% of this site. Such a tragic death.
I had the same reaction when TotalBiscuit died 6 years ago. Loved watching his reviews and his humor was always top. It’s hard to lose someone who you don’t know but feel like you do from all the hours of their lives they’ve shared with us.
What’s with the recent traction for the Mr Beast hate train? There have been a few posts lately talking about how bad this guy is.
Since nobody pointed it out yet there’s also controversy because his friend was being inappropriate with and allegedly touching kids using the fact that they work with Mr beast. That just came out before all this. And Mr beast fired them, but there’s a lot of discord messages that Mr beast was in on as well where some of the inappropriate stuff towards kids was happening as well
There’s a part 1 to this video that goes into it. Basically:
- videos are faked (reality level TV stuff - making the timers look like they’re still counting down)
- there was a person who was recently on staff who was a sexual deviant named Ava Kris Tyson who also seemed to be obsessed with teenagers and ran a discord server talking about inappropriate stuff (this is worse than my description sounds)
- Beast was on this server for a time but doesn’t seem to have been an active participant
- Illegal lotteries from the Streaming “giveaways”
- claiming his chocolate is “healthy” and encourage kids to eat it to have a chance at randomly winning a prize
- in Aus, having an app for the chocolate that says you win a prize when you pull the slots but you actually don’t win anything (basically getting triple 7s and getting told you win nothing)
- safety issues with the beast games, moving to Canada so no union workers can join, etc.
- this video explains some horrible stuff Mr Beast and team did for a single video
Really the biggest deal I think is the illegal lotteries. Because those are actual criminal acts
Part 1 also shows some evidence of fake contestants (who are actually actors) that end up winning the prize.
Just people finding out that Santa isn’t real but in fact a company which uses psychological warfare to sell you something that is bad for you.
A story as old as capitalism.
The whole “content cop” vibe of this video is fucked considering its such a serious topic. We need an actual journalist to dig into this.
I don’t use the word cringe much, but the way this was presented gave me second-hand embarrassment. It was hard for me to watch, content notwithstanding.
Yeah the delivery would be better in some normal clothes tbh
Youtube drama being presented in the youtube style is fair.
Fuck Mr. Beast. The real heroes worthy of praise are your friends and neighbors who are out there volunteering and/or doing good things for others without making a fucking spectacle of it.
Mr. Beast with his bucky ass face and products plastered on every last corner of the earth has left a bad taste in my mouth for years, but up until recently people have been unable to criticize him in any way without a thousand others rushing to his defense and declaring what a beautiful, selfless person he is. It’s Ellen all over again.
People truly are blinded by philanthropy-for-clout and mistake it for genuine goodwill. Truly good people do not film themselves handing out food and money.
i need a monthly reminder of this - fuck Phil.
We’ll be right back
I’m going to preface this by pointing out that I don’t watch Mr. Beast, and I didn’t watch either of the two videos. My only comment is that it’s a little suspicious that this person is stretching out the accusations across two (three?) videos, across multiple days. Feels like they’re farming for the drama views for as long as possible.
he stated out what is going to be in part 3 in the begining of 2nd video. He’s also making them as fast as he can from what it seems not even waiting a response lol
Yes, it’s so suspicious that to cover the crimes of a psychopath with a media empire would take several hours of documentary evidence.
30 minutes of this video is an interview… that touches on different aspects of the beast operation beyond the scope of the first.
The YT account only has two videos (the two about beast).
I don’t believe he himself (the creator) was an influencer.
He turned off monetization on the video.
Thanks for the preface, but all this reply does is stir the pot without adding anything of value to the convo.
People have to be able to question the motive of content without being accused of “stirring the pot”. Personally I really appreciated that the comment you replied to was posted, as it led you to reply to it, so that I could get more context and information.
Ya know what? Fair.
I do think that’s a reasonable take, but the person I replied to seemed unwilling to engage with the content in question but still wanted to chime in casting random uninformed doubts. Doesn’t add much of anything. If they had cited parts of the video that made them question it I wouldnt have said anything, because honestly I ALSO asked myself those questions.
To be honest, they seem to be taking a very media literate approach (impressively so, they definitely learned some stuff about YouTube and how to do this kind of thing) to this whole thing, so I kind of get the “farming for views” stance.
But I get it since that means they are actually getting traction instead of just being a thing that drama YouTube talks about for a week and gets swept under the rug. The video notes he’s a very powerful figure in a relatively small town, so they need media pressure on their side.
I have seen enough to know those is all some weird ass bullshit campaign too fuck this guy. It’s all been so engineered and vague. What a joke
Actually reading these comments I’m starting to get it. I think mr beast is a bit of a powerful influencer. But generally apolitical. Inn order to sway him the right will make these huge pushes trying to find dirt to force these influencers to end up like Russell Brandt where he looks for an audience on the right after the left eats the onion
It’s not vague at all, Mr Least actively broke gambling laws multiple times during livestreams to push sales. May I remind you his primary audience is children, he was encouraging children to illegally gamble for prizes and money.
So I think you have to be a part of his shitty PR team and have now blocked you for all eternity.
Wendell is a leftist. His current newest video has him say that.
Conspiracy time: about a month ago he did say he would run for president if they lowered the age.
He broke laws live on stream to convince kids to gamble. This has nothing to do with any possible presidential run.
I’ve looked but I can’t find anything regarding this besides him running some kind of giveaway and breaking a no purchase necessary law. Is that what you’re referring to?
Angry Autist is a Spez plant. Don’t let him destabilize this community. Block and move on.
… it’s literally in the video… Twice…
And now because I know you are here to do nothing but waste my time, you will probably ask me for a timestamp, and I would normally provide it of course because I want to keep the discussion intellectually honest.
But it’s pretty clear that you don’t, and of course after ignoring my timestamp hyperlink, you will make up some vapid arguments on how it is unpossible for Mr Least to ever have done such a thing and that I’m stupid for misunderstanding federal gambling laws.
And we can go back and forth for hours, me posting evidence, you saying whatever stupid shit that comes to your mind to push the discussion far away from the original point that Mr. Least is illegally involving children in gambling.
And I am so just fuckdamn tired of intellectually dishonest people like you ‘just asking questions’.
So
Amazingly
Fuckdamn
Tired.
So you’re blocked now.
Lmao Jesus Christ. It’s a 50 minute video that I was actively watching and I was reading comments and watching at the same time.
Anyone that’s not a maniac want to give me a timestamp? Because I don’t have time to watch a 50 minute video tonight.
I couldn’t find it earlier because I googled “Mr Beast live stream gambling” when I should’ve googled “Mr Beast Child Lottery”
Anyone that’s not a maniac
Your abelism infuriates me. If I were younger, I’d waste an hour rhetorically browbeating you.
You could have already completely watched the video by now but still you are here whining for timestamps just like I predicted you would. The more shitstain forum sliders keep using the same tactics, the easier it is to call your uncreative asses out on it.
Mr. Least encouraged children to gamble, broke gambling laws to increase buying pressure, and even less shocking apparently hasn’t made good on most of the ‘winners’ anyway.
Yet you are here pretending he just accidentally bent a few obscure sweepstakes laws instead of the critical point that he USED HIS INFLUENCE OVER CHILDREN TO CONVINCE THEM TO GAMBLE!
the absolute hilarious thing is I finally did find it all on my own and I agree with you about Mr Beast. I was simply asking a question.
I’m not sure what type of people you come across online to act this way but Jesus Christ tell me where so I can avoid it.
Block me because I’m going to return the favor.
Username checks out.

See how hard the responses are just for saying anything. Same shit markings on any of these things lately.
It’s really not that bad for me besides the one angry dude from last night. It’s definitely easy to get sucked in that nonsense though.
