This is Mr. Beast, the fraudster and child exploiting psychopathic piece of shit, right?
Remember rich ppl do charity to duck paying taxes!Government social services have a much wider reach than any millionaire or billionaire and the tax money they should be receiving from the upper class could benefit millions of ppl instead of the few lucky enough to receive their "charity"
Looks to be an hour long video. What's the summary for people who prefer to read?
It's a very good video. A former employee (confirmed btw) breaks everything down about Jimmy piece by piece from how his videos are faked and winners are rigged to how Jimmy holds literal illegal lotteries exploiting children. He was recently sent a cease and desist by the beast team under the claim he was leaking "company secrets", which is a bad look, and one of their employees directly responded to him to "debunk" the video but instead mostly attacks his character and completely ignores the whole targeting children with illegal lotteries part. It's pretty damning, and he is releasing a part 2 video soon.
Thanks for the info.
illegal lotteries exploiting children
Can you please elaborate on this bit? Do you mean that it's illegal because any lottery has to be state-run or some other aspect? And how are children exploited? Is it because they're the contestants in the videos or something else?
In the US, you can’t sell a product with a chance to receive a prize without having “no purchase necessary” and a means to enter for free. Mr. Beast did not do this in the past and also changed the terms for the lottery after sales.
Excellent explainer. Thanks!
The comment above this one sums up what an illegal lottery is. He has openly admitted he knows children are his core demographic, which means these illegal lotteries were clearly targeting them. With things like "if you buy my X you can possibly recieve a ps5!" Or implying he would sign random shirts and telling his audience of children they have a chance at getting a signed shirt if they bought his merch. Incidentally, that was a lie. The video proves it by showing a live stream where staff were quietly signing shirts using Jimmy's signature, essentially forging his name. One employee realizes that they were caught and briefly looks guilty on stream before pretending nothing happened . And then there's the feastables bullshit, where he tells it's audience his xhicolate is "healthy" which, yeah once upon a time they were gealthuer, but he changed the ingriediants to significantly unhealthier ones and still told his audience it was "healthy".
How are the lottdties illegal? End of the day, can he not choose how to spend money? I assume it means it's lottery who gets support?
MrBeast uses a lot of illegal gambling techniques to hook children. The chocolate bar is advertised as healthy but the recipe was changed after launch, making it even unhealthier than Hershey. A lot of episodes and winners are scripted and somehow favor friends and families of staff. Even the signature on shirts are fake, as someone not Jimmy was seen on stream signing as MB.
