This is Mr. Beast, the fraudster and child exploiting psychopathic piece of shit, right?

Looks to be an hour long video. What’s the summary for people who prefer to read?

Misleading title. It makes it seem that Mrbeast is exclusively blaming Crowdstrike which isn’t the case. They said Crowdstrike complicated the incident. Here is the quote

“It was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident, extreme weather and other unexpected logistical and communications issues.”

Go read the original good reporting done by NYT: gift article. There are tons of details that The Verge left out.

My bad. I suggest you post that separately perhaps on the same community so that everyone gets the info.

EDIT: I put the link on the main post

It’s okay, I am just using your post to express my anger with The Verge I read the nyt article first and then saw this headline. I was like wtf??? Crowdstrike was the most inconsequential detail in that article, and you chose that as the headline? And you worded to make it seem worse? I think they just hate Youtubers in general. I stopped reading them after they went after Pewdiepie and made him a nazi. Went back last year but they are still spreading misinformation it seems.

Wait, the Verge said the multimillionaire that paid two Indian guys $5 to hold an English sign they didn’t understand that said “death to all Jews” is a nazi? The guy that also paid someone else to dress up as Jesus christ and hold up a sign that said "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong?" The same guy who likes to shout the N-word during his “gamer moments?”

How unfair of them.

You obviously don’t know anything about him and never watched any video. You only know him from controversies. Ignorance is bliss I guess

You only know him from controversies.

“It’s not fair to mention that he gets drunk and beats his wife. He also has a lovely singing voice, does that not count for something?”

There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as “news”, jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), “reporters” who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as “deals”.

All that being said, it’s still leagues ahead of Gizmodo and I do think it’s worth reading.

The difference here is that The Verge is a tech site. That they chose to lead with the tech-related aspect shouldn’t be surprising. Not a Verge apologist; I mostly stick to ArsTechnica.
