Guess who’s gonna make the alt-right turn in a month?
That’s right! It’s Mr
BeastCouchKudos 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.
The 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.
A creature like Mr. Beast needs to be destroyed and his suppurating carcass displayed as a warning to others, and while that would be moral, it’s also really impractical, so I’m not promoting it.
Upvote for suppuration
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
Youtube drama being presented in the youtube style is fair.
Yeah the delivery would be better in some normal clothes tbh
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.
Who is the author of this video? What type of stuff do they usually do? Generally credible?
He’s an ex-worker at Jimmy’s firm. If everything he said is false, it’s an easy defamation lawsuit for Jimmy versus him. He dug his own grave. I think he wasn’t dumb to do that. The points he made were sensible to me, except the legal stuff. I’m not an attorney. Anyway, we haven’t heard Jimmy’s side.
Why do people call him Jimmy so often? We don’t know him. He signs MB on his merch so it seems unnecessary.
True that if the guy making accusations does not have proof, it will be a pretty shit position to be in. I have seen other creators giving him the benefit of the doubt based on their experiences collaborating Mr. Beast though, so it’s kind of early to tell. And the illegal lottery accusations seem pretty straight forward to prove based on archived videos circulating.
Edit: reworded first few sentences.
If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, especially that he knew that many of them were kids. He said something like “The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000.” right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.
The sleep deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was brutal.
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.
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.
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).
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 literally had no idea who this guy was until like last year… my partner showed me some clips and i immediately got bad vibes. i told her i thought he was just doing these nice things for the money and attention and she was shocked. but here we are lol
People like him prey on the naivety and good will of others. It’s basically the same behavior as people like Trump and Musk–they need to be constantly adored by others.
that’s exactly the feeling i had, he needs people to see him being a good person. that’s usually an indicator.
Someone showed me a video of him giving 100 people (age 1 to 100 or something) a chance to win money
The whole thing was gross and exploitive but he’s just laughing at them
The guy’s an absolute shitstain but protected because he makes youtube bank.
His kids snacks are disgusting and unhealthy, the clothes he sells fall apart after 3 washes, but since he makes kids glued to the screen, all of society will protect his assholery.
I hope he gets caught fucking a cow corpse.
Look at all these people white knighting for a Sociopath being a for profit charity and scammer.
