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.
Lemmy has been weird in the last week, post the content in it’s appropriate communities.
Where is the meme in your post?
Tbf Mr Beast does do traditional charity stuff too like Team Trees and Team Seas.
I don’t watch his content, so don’t know if he was running illegal lotteries. To be somewhat fair - a lot of people accidentally do that (the “no purchase necessary” stuff is important people).
The accusations of illegally rigged contests are just wrong though. Not that they aren’t rigged (I don’t know about that), but that it’s illegal to influence or pre-determine the outcome. The FCC “quiz show” rules regarding that don’t apply to cable or streaming - only broadcast television.
I was referring to several other videos going around accusing him of illegal lotteries and rigging contests.
To be fair, he does some sort of charity(as example when he build wells in Africa), but you’re right, Theres much better use for his money than 1m$ squidgame.
YSK much of this has been debunked
Yes… Yes we should know… But you see, you haven’t told us? You’ve just said, “YSK”
Fair point, you’re totally right sorry. This is a good start: https://youtu.be/W4CePWWN1Xs
