For those out of the know:
Video 2 (CONTENT WARNING: Torture, SA)
I’m not much for YouTube drama but never liked Mr. Beast’s child lotteries and wealth glorification. If you wanted to improve society you could put that money into actual charity, but of course that isn’t a profitable strategy. Oh well.
You might want to put a content warning on the second video, it’s pretty rough.
The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it’s something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.
The second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can’t see the sun, constant lights so you can’t sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.
If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.
The interview in the second one really got to me. His mannerisms really remind me of a friend of mine, and the descriptions he gives of that abusive power dynamic reminds me a lot of similar experiences I’ve had, especially the inappropriate ’jokes’ made about deeply personal issues like his dad. Really hope that dude gets any help he needs.
Just going to drop this here. Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of like half of these:

Do you have a timestamp for that interview in the video? I see the video is 50 minutes long and the first few minutes seem pretty odd. I’d like to see the good parts without watching the whole thing.
It’s the second video, and it starts at like 4 or 5 minutes in. It’s almost the entire video long.
Cool thanks. I knew as soon as I asked for a timestamp I was going to get down voted. I watched the first 3 minutes and didn’t see anything resembling to what I was replying to.
I don’t know man, this coming off of the whole Ava Tyson weirdo shit gives me a weird feeling. Also, that first video has had Mr. Beast’s employees debunk most of it, so I’m still sitting extremely skeptical about this.
Do I think it’s possible a rich guy is a fucking piece of shit? Of course. Do I also think it’s possible the right wing anti trans nut jobs are exaggerating this? Yes.
