Mr Beast crypto fraud traced
INTRODUCTION MrBeast, one of the most popular YouTubers with over 320 million subscribers across his main and side channels, has recently faced public scrutiny over various controversies. Allegations have emerged, including claims of faked videos, running illegal lotteries and employees with que
The guy running a hostile workplace while hanging out with Logan Paul, selling junk food to children, and putting on reality shows so hostile to the contestants that they get compared to torture is... into cryptocurrency?! I'm shocked! Shocked!
Goodness kids need some better role models because sometimes it seems 90% of people on the social networks are morally bankrupt.
Can’t believe this soulless empty eyed husk of a person is a grifter!

The world needs another Mister Rogers, but I'm not sure if the world wants another Mister Rogers.
Moldy junk food even.
Perhaps... their parents could be good role models?
What the hell do people think they're adding to the conversation with quips like this? We were talking about how social media personalities should be better role models. Should parents be good role models? Yes, but that's only relevant to the discussion, if you mean to imply it's not a problem that social media entertainers are bad ones, and that parents being good ones just solves any issues.
ok
The name and face of the most subscribed man on YouTube keeps changing every few years but my perpetual dislike of him keeps being validated.
The only youtubers I like are the creatives that have side gigs and alternate sources of income. It’s almost as if having youtube as your main source of income corrupts your incentives to the point of moral bankruptcy, OR, the only people that can have youtube/social media be the money maker are morally bankrupt to begin with. If only we had more data on this!!!
This is cool but will any of it explain the most pressing MrBeast question: why does he smile like that? I'm assuming it's because he's always thinking about how terrible a person he is.
I believe its because they A-B tested his thumbnails, editors found that they vacuumed slightly more eyeballs when he was smiling, and updated the thumbnail images of him not smiling with photoshop.
The fault isn't with the photoshop though, he just doesn't have a soul so it actually looks like that when he smiles.
I keep hearing that stupid-face thumbnails generate more clicks and more and more people do it, and yet every single person you ask says they think it’s fucking stupid, including the creators themselves. I really wonder who these people they A-B test this with are, or if this is just some Google Autoplag Bot that estimates it’s better because it falls flat into their uncanny valley home territory.
I've heard the theory that dumb youtube-face impresses the algorithm itself, somehow. This causes the videos to surface at a higher rate, which leads to more eyeballs (but with a layer of indirection) even though no human actually prefers it. Sort of a reverse-slop situation.
I had heard a bunch of positive press about him (the trees stuff, etc.) but didn’t look into him because why should I care about a youtuber? Then I found out he was part of the ghost kitchen craze and was selling candy bars. I saw his face on a supermarket standee and thought: that is mason verger after consulting a PR firm. That’s the pre-evolution of mitch mcconnell. Of course he does squid game shit to entertain children.
I wouldn't clarify barring your teeth as a smile, but that's me. Someone told me to zoom in on his eyes. Real smiles touch the eyes. Does that look like a smile when you do that?
Dude is straight up Evil Cooper from Season 3 of Twin Peaks, but without the charisma.
Because of what he sees in the future
for many years, I went blessedly unaware of who this random fuckjack was, knowing only: 1) ambiently knowing the name, 2) that I ambiently know the name (these two things together are usually a decent heuristic for me to not bother digging)
and then I got jumpscared by a full-scale mrbeast standee in a shop some months back
may I soon be able to forget about this fuckjack once again
Beast's been reported to the FBI after a litany of horrific shit got found in leaked chat logs - logs which have also been released to the public.
Between that, Lunchly turning out moldy and getting memed on, and a litany of controversies shredding his public image, chances are his empire's gonna go down in flames pretty soon, and you're gonna be able to forget about him pretty quick.
We've attained douchebag escape velocity
Same experience with Sam bankman-fried. Suddenly hearing about them elsewhere as a super ethical billionaire or whatever shit only to turn out that they're a shit stain billionaire like all the rest.
I can't tell which of these profits are in actual currency and which are in fake money.
