I’m not weighing anything in terms of credence, I haven’t done any dutiful scrutinizing myself. However this is reminiscing enough of previous mistakes that were made that I hope a constructive conversation can be had on the side of any willing partner before further engaging with Beast Philanthropy if this ever becomes an option.
I watched the second video, which appears to be the source of these accusations. The main claims are:
MrBeast fakes parts of videos and lies about it. This claim is well-evidenced, but frankly, inconsequential.
MrBeast’s employees fake his signature on signed merch. Again, not great, but inconsequential.
MrBeast’s chocolate and fast food deals promote unhealthy eating to children in service of profit. True and bad.
MrBeast’s general videos and structure encourage children to essentially gamble by purchasing products in exchange for chances at prizes. Not only is this unethical but it might be illegal, or at the very least, YouTube videos aren’t regulated in the same way as other media which are subject to much stricter rules about fairness.
This is only the first part of a series which the author implies will cover allegations against Ava Tyson, dangerous conditions on set, and something about Beast Philanthropy. The latter isn’t implied to be much more than charity-washing FWIW, but we’ll see.
I haven’t yet watched the linked videos due to their length. Would you say these ChatGPT-generated summaries fairly represent their content and claims?
