  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.

        Can we file joinly against the Girl Scouts?
        There has to be some kind of violation of the Mercantile Act.

        Somoas indeed…

  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.”

      Ohh that’s what was meant. I thought it was about some document before reading your comment.

        People saying pdf file instead of pedophile because of internet brain rot. What a cool thing to discuss serious topics and call them stupid fucking names in the least serious way possible.

      I would tell you but I’m not signing up for the legalese involved in an Adobe Premiere Cloud Subscription. Fuckers reserve the right to use my art as AI training data?

      With some sort of Adobe tool I suppose. The use of TLAs by the US crowd is becoming increasingly confusing to me.

    What is this about? I tried looking it up but all I’m getting is weird right wing shit.

    • FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s spoken about I’m 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’m like 90% sure it’s not true. Right wingers love to accuse LGBTQ+ people of being pedophiles because they’re intolerant little cunts. LGBTQ+ people can of course be pedophiles, but it’s no more likely than cishet people being pedophiles.

    Add onto this that he is using lotteries to get people to buy his chocolate (even though its consistently rated as not as good as others) and he is lying about the healthiness of said chocolate.

    Why would I expect more from a legal tv channel, say, owned by Murdoch or “left leaning” like CNN?

  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.
