MrBeast blames terrible Beast Games conditions on the CrowdStrike outage
Contestants say food, water, prescription medicine and clean underwear were withheld — but the YouTuber is blaming external factors.

This is Mr. Beast, the fraudster and child exploiting psychopathic piece of shit, right?
71Remember 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"
27Looks to be an hour long video. What's the summary for people who prefer to read?
26It'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.
63MrBeast 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.

I don't know why but there recently is a lot of Mr beast content in Lemmy posts, and I could do without that as I have zero interest in the person.
34OK, neither do I, but I post these things for posterity.
IMO, he’s very overrated.
5He exploits hopeful people for money. He's a creep.

His empire is falling apart right now. And he's a huge name. Expect to see him in the next couple months.

31My 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
11It'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.

Surely the world's most punchable face ?
25Ehh, I'll still go with Ajit Pai
