go to ww.com and register I wouldn't

play00:03

want a million dollar even smells like

play00:05

well guys this is the last one I promise

play00:08

this is going to be the last video I

play00:10

make on this whole Mr Beast Fiasco we've

play00:13

been going through over the last couple

play00:15

of weeks because honestly I'm kind of

play00:17

just tired of talking about it and what

play00:19

we're talking about today is the exact

play00:21

reason why now if you have somehow gone

play00:22

the last month without hearing about any

play00:24

of this Mr Beast drama then I don't even

play00:27

really know where I would start if I

play00:29

were to try and give you you a full

play00:30

recap it would take so long that I would

play00:32

end up spending more time giving you the

play00:34

recap than I would talking about the

play00:36

actual topic of today's video so I'm not

play00:38

going to do that but what I will do is

play00:40

try and give you some context in 30

play00:42

seconds or less so basically over the

play00:44

last month here's what's happened Ava

play00:46

Chris Tyson one of Mr BEAST's best

play00:48

friends and a long running member of the

play00:50

Mr Beast channel was exposed for some

play00:52

really weird and predatory online

play00:54

Behavior which included messaging a

play00:55

minor Mr Beast was called out for

play00:57

knowing about this and doing nothing

play00:59

which led to a Chris Tyson and the Mr

play01:01

Beast Channel parting ways shortly after

play01:03

that a YouTuber named dog pack 404 made

play01:05

a video that went viral accusing Mr

play01:07

Beast of Faking his videos exploiting

play01:10

his audience and running illegal

play01:12

lotteries Mr Beast and his team

play01:13

apparently sent a cease and deist letter

play01:15

to dog Peg 404 that in the video going

play01:18

viral in the first place put Mr Beast in

play01:20

a lot of hot water which was only made

play01:22

worse after accusations came out that Mr

play01:24

Beast project the Beast games a game

play01:26

show he's producing for Amazon Prime are

play01:28

being ran and managed Ed so poorly that

play01:31

people are nearly dying trying to

play01:33

participate now obviously every

play01:35

situation I just mentioned is a little

play01:37

bit more nuanced than something that can

play01:39

really be explained in a single sentence

play01:41

if you want the full stories if you want

play01:43

all the information I'll put links to a

play01:45

couple of videos in the top right corner

play01:47

but I feel like having that brief

play01:48

explanation is really all you need for

play01:50

today because for today's video to make

play01:52

sense all you really need to know is

play01:54

that one Mr Beast has gotten a lot of

play01:57

backlash for every single thing that I

play01:59

describe

play02:00

and two it has all happened in the time

play02:02

between his last upload and his most

play02:05

recent upload this is important because

play02:07

I feel like it really is going to

play02:08

highlight just how pointless talking

play02:10

about stuff like this can sometimes be

play02:12

yesterday Mr Beast uploaded survive 100

play02:15

days in a nuclear bunker win

play02:18

$500,000 and since that video has come

play02:20

out there have been multiple Twitter

play02:21

threads accusing Mr Beast of censoring

play02:24

any negative comments that that video

play02:26

receives screenshots and videos have

play02:28

popped up showing people's comments

play02:29

being removed almost instantly if they

play02:32

mention anything about Ava Chris Tyson

play02:34

anything about the videos being fake

play02:36

basically just any reference to anything

play02:38

that's happened over these last few

play02:40

weeks is apparently getting your comment

play02:42

nuked immediately now while this is

play02:44

something that's kind of hard to prove

play02:46

I'm inclined to believe these claims for

play02:48

a few reasons one being that earlier

play02:50

today once I saw all of these

play02:52

accusations I went to the comment

play02:54

section of this video and I saw a lot of

play02:56

comments doing the same thing now I wish

play02:58

I would have taken screen scre shots or

play03:00

something but I just kind of wasn't

play03:02

thinking about it but the few negative

play03:03

comments that I saw were all one word if

play03:07

that makes sense like it was people

play03:08

typing out full sentences without

play03:10

spacing anything I guess to get past the

play03:12

auto moderation of this comment section

play03:14

and a lot of those comments had a lot of

play03:16

likes also none of them were older than

play03:18

10 minutes I'm looking at the top

play03:20

comments right now and they're nowhere

play03:22

to be seen some of these comments had

play03:24

like 20 or 30,000 likes 8 hours ago they

play03:28

definitely would have had a lot more now

play03:30

and they're nowhere to be seen another

play03:32

thing that I think is really really

play03:34

fishy is that this is currently the

play03:36

number one trending video on YouTube

play03:38

like basically every new Mr Beast upload

play03:40

is and I'll show you what happens if you

play03:42

filter the comments by newest it's

play03:45

really hard for me to believe that a

play03:47

video that is getting hundreds of

play03:49

thousands of views a minutes is only

play03:50

getting one comment every couple of

play03:52

minutes and if you scroll through these

play03:54

comments whether you sort by top comment

play03:56

or whether you sort by new comment look

play03:58

through all the replies and no matter

play04:00

what you do you will not find anything

play04:02

that mentions what has been the biggest

play04:04

controversy of the last month straight

play04:07

if you think that nobody is coming to

play04:09

give Mr Beast a piece of their mind

play04:11

you're insane these comments are 100%

play04:14

being censored in some capacity now why

play04:17

is this important why should you care

play04:19

that these comments are being censored

play04:21

well Mr Beast is without a doubt a the

play04:23

biggest YouTube figure of all time I

play04:26

doubt there will ever be anybody who's

play04:28

bigger than Mr Beast and over the last

play04:30

month he's been accused of some pretty

play04:32

serious stuff and look this was not some

play04:34

isolated incident of somebody who seemed

play04:36

like they were just trying to get famous

play04:38

this was dozens upon dozens of different

play04:40

sources saying different things all bad

play04:43

I feel like the last month deserves to

play04:45

be addressed now look I'm not saying he

play04:46

needs to make a YouTube video where he

play04:48

whines and cries for forgiveness and all

play04:50

that but a tweet addressing the

play04:52

fact that somebody says you've been

play04:54

running illegal lotteries for the last

play04:56

few years taking advantage of children

play04:58

faking every you do hosting a game show

play05:01

where people are having seizures or

play05:02

getting bones broken by other

play05:04

participants I mean these are things

play05:05

that I feel like you should at least say

play05:07

aren't happening right trying to sweep

play05:09

all of this under the rug just seems

play05:11

like a really shitty thing to do and

play05:13

sending cease and assist letters to the

play05:15

people making these videos and deleting

play05:16

any sort of comment that references

play05:18

anything that's happened makes it seem

play05:20

like that's what the Mr Beast team is

play05:22

trying to do now you might be asking

play05:23

yourself why should you care about this

play05:25

why should you care whatsoever that Mr

play05:28

Beast is deleting comments and trying to

play05:30

sweep all of this controversy under the

play05:32

rug well the reality is that you

play05:35

probably shouldn't when it comes to

play05:37

situations like this when we're looking

play05:38

at a Mr Beast kind of figure a person of

play05:41

that kind of Fame wealth and success if

play05:44

the people above him are not willing to

play05:46

do anything there's nothing to be done

play05:48

now this would be slightly different if

play05:50

the primary audience of Mr Beast was

play05:52

young adults or older but it's not I

play05:54

mean I've got to imagine the average Mr

play05:56

Beast viewer is between like 10 and 13

play05:59

probably when you have a person who is

play06:01

as successful as Mr Beast who does not

play06:03

directly work for anybody or does not

play06:06

like rely on a certain industry to give

play06:09

them work and Their audience is full of

play06:11

11-year-olds there's literally nothing

play06:12

to be done here because for anything

play06:14

meaningful to be done to Mr Beast to

play06:16

force his hand to respond to these

play06:18

allegations or make anything right one

play06:20

of those things would have to be true

play06:22

now look I'm not trying to put on my

play06:23

like Hollywood conspiracy theory hat

play06:26

here but this is just reality if a

play06:28

big-time celebrity does something they

play06:30

shouldn't they're forced to Apologize by

play06:32

their PR team because if they don't they

play06:34

won't get movies anymore they won't get

play06:36

TV shows they won't get commercials they

play06:38

are relying on Hollywood for work so

play06:41

they have to make sure they comply with

play06:43

Hollywood if your audience is made up of

play06:45

young adults or adults they will have a

play06:47

more developed sense of morals than a

play06:49

12-year-old will and if you do something

play06:51

bad enough they will not want to watch

play06:53

you anymore because they won't want to

play06:54

support you when neither of those things

play06:56

are the case for Mr Beast why would he

play06:58

do anything YouTube sponsorships are

play07:01

generally kind of shady as is so I doubt

play07:04

any of them are going to stop working

play07:05

with them Amazon is Amazon I honestly

play07:08

can't think of a better fitting company

play07:09

for Mr Beast to work with to make a game

play07:11

show where the working conditions are

play07:13

apparently terrible so other than those

play07:15

two things I don't really think Mr Beast

play07:18

is relying on anybody but children he

play07:20

seems to fund all of his videos YouTube

play07:23

would not ban Mr Beast if he killed

play07:25

somebody the amount of money that man is

play07:27

making Google and the amount of people

play07:29

is bringing to YouTube at no more cost

play07:31

to YouTube than any other YouTuber is so

play07:34

extremely valuable to Google that I do

play07:36

not think the man could do anything to

play07:38

have his channel removed so I mean at

play07:40

the end of the day why waste the mental

play07:42

energy to address any of this why hire a

play07:44

PR coach and more lawyers to make sure

play07:46

you're saying the right thing if you

play07:48

don't really need to the reality is that

play07:50

the portion of his audience who does

play07:52

know what he's being accused of probably

play07:54

doesn't care and more importantly most

play07:56

of his audience probably doesn't even

play07:58

have a clue as to what's been going on

play08:00

look this is something I had to come to

play08:02

terms with on my own most people are not

play08:04

on the internet nearly as much as you

play08:07

would think they are if you are a person

play08:09

who spends a lot of time on the internet

play08:11

I guarantee you majority of Mr Beast

play08:14

audience doesn't even know there's a

play08:15

controversy right now to try and put

play08:17

things into perspective Mr Beast has

play08:19

basically the same amount of Subs as

play08:21

there are active Twitter users right now

play08:23

so while there might be a few million

play08:25

people talking about this on Twitter

play08:27

that number is nothing compared to over

play08:29

300 million people now I'm willing to

play08:31

wager most of the people talking about

play08:33

this on Twitter or YouTube are not Mr

play08:35

Beast fans to begin with and it's likely

play08:38

that many of the people watching those

play08:39

videos or interacting with those Twitter

play08:41

threads are also not Mr Beast fans

play08:44

you've got to consider that the average

play08:46

10-year-old is probably not on Twitter

play08:48

and they're probably not watching

play08:50

commentary YouTube when stuff like this

play08:52

happens when people get called out for

play08:54

doing bad things I'll often see people

play08:56

make tweets or make statements saying

play08:58

stuff like how could could anybody

play08:59

support them after this one aspect of

play09:02

that is a lot of people probably just

play09:04

don't know again Mr Beast is not exactly

play09:07

a niche content creator if you sign out

play09:09

of your YouTube account the default

play09:11

algorithm is going to show you Mr Beast

play09:13

all day long you don't need to be in the

play09:15

no on the internet to watch Mr Beast

play09:18

which is why none of this is going to

play09:20

affect the man's viewership the few

play09:22

people that do care who stop watching Mr

play09:24

Beast will instantly be replaced by a

play09:26

few million 8-year-olds who are

play09:28

instantly directed to Mr Beast after

play09:30

they're allowed on YouTube for the first

play09:31

time the people who really really care

play09:33

about this will continue to talk about

play09:35

it to the other people that really

play09:37

really care about it and they'll just go

play09:39

back and forth the rest of the internet

play09:41

will forget about this after a couple of

play09:43

weeks and then apart from when it comes

play09:44

up in conversation every few months

play09:47

it'll be like this never happened there

play09:49

was a moment where a lot of people

play09:50

myself included thought you know what

play09:52

maybe this will have an effect on this

play09:54

guy's career this is a lot coming out at

play09:56

once maybe some people will take notice

play09:58

but considering that this most recent

play10:00

video is his best performing out of his

play10:02

last 10 I don't think that's happening

play10:04

well guys what do you think do you think

play10:06

this last month will have any sort of

play10:07

long lasting effect on Mr Beast or his

play10:10

legacy because I don't I think we've

play10:11

entered an age of the internet where

play10:13

things move so fast that unless you do

play10:16

something truly heinous you can just

play10:18

about get away with anything there's so
