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.
The saddest thing is, there were always complaints against Mr. Beast, but everyone dismissed them with “but what about charities” until one of his workers transitioned. For a long time, people even had bigger issue with Ava Tyson’s transition than her commissioning an artpiece from Shadbase that depicts an actual real-life minor.
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
Lemmy has been weird in the last week, post the content in it’s appropriate communities.
Where is the meme in your post?
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.
Never liked him. He exploits the significantly less fortunate for his own amusenent. Glad to see the world at least partially open it’s eyes .
