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.

I don't see why people were larping that shit to begin with until realized the audience is are teenagers.

Just another celeb milking the system. Stop giving them attention, they will die off on their own lol

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 video author posted this comment under the video which goes over his main claims:

“Claims I provide evidence for in this video:

  1. Many MrBeast videos are fake, contests are unfairly rigged, and contestants are often undisclosed friends and family of MrBeast employees, or employees themselves.
  2. MrBeast has run multiple illegal lotteries targeting children. (I estimate they profited over $10,000,000 from these lotteries)
  3. 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”

Right click on him and click “print.” Then where you pick a printer choose “convert/print to PDF.”

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.

This came out before the Kris news, my guess is to add to his “look how perfect I am” persona since it was tarnished by this former employee.

Dude is almost certainly a kiddy diddler too

Is there some evidence to back this up?

False accusation are counter productive esp when it related to egregious crime like this.

So if we are gonna do it, it better be true...

CaptainSpaceman ,

His long time cohost is a groomer

sunzu ,
  1. That's a different person.
  2. I thought that was already debunked as alleged victim said they were not a victim?
authorinthedark ,

i believe that one alleged victim said they were not a victim but they were not the only alleged victim

sunzu ,

Thank you for clarifying.

Do you know what the actual allegations are?

HeyJoe ,

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?

TempermentalAnomaly ,

Same. My kid isn’t into it, thankfully, but he was the topic of the week a fews ago.
