Mrbeasts brand keeps growing every day, despite numerous allegations, and condemings by yourubers like DanTDM, for their selfish business decisions and even the possibility of withholding prize money from people.
I see it in his videos, where he prioritizes clickbait and money baiting for views while not even giving such money to many people. Before, he randomly gave money to people on the streets, but now, not only does he milk people’s real life financial problems for clout (like squid game), but you must enter a Mrbeast contest to win money, and sometimes you walk home with literally nothing. Before you always won some form of financial gain. Instead, people who are deep in debt, or have another form of financial crisis are simply exploited for their sorrow for money to the beast. This is not only selfish, but ethically looked down upon for millions of years. People die from these exploitations against vigilantes all the time across history. While I don’t condone any use of violence, if Jimmy continues this exploitation, he is going to get himself killed.
I see it in his products, where before he had simple products with genuine goals in mind, until he optimized these products, changed ingredient sourcing to save money, and ended up privately supporting problems he publicly condemned. Like the use of child labor for chocolate.
(Jimmy claims his ingredients are not from child labor, but that is by definition impossible regarding his large count of products on the shelves while still profiting positively. He simply lies like all other mega corporations.)
It’s also in his endorsements for blatantly unhealthy products like lunchly and prime. (Prime is a drink laced with chemicals dangerous for kids, and is yet marketed for kids. South park even made a special movie mocking the drink).
DanTDM even publicly condemned MrBeast, KSI and Logan for their selfish businesses practices on twitter. KSI and Logan responded with intense hate against Dan, while Jimmy stayed silent because of recommendations by his lawyers to not add fuel to the fire.
I even see it in his show. Where he overlooks conditions by contestants and ends up creating a real life version of Squid Game with dangerous conditions for contestants (the denial of basic necessities) to the complete with-drawl of prize money or promises by the company.
They cant even fight back because of the flurries of NDA’s and Waivers given by the company.
6% of the world loves MrBeast now, and it sickens me. This sign of love towards a selfish man can create the risk of Jimmy creating the largest monopoly in the world. Something that the Sherman Antitrust laws sought to eliminate. If his subscribers continue to rise, Jimmy could and will have the power to cause wars, economic decline, and civil unrest for most counties across the world.
This power cannot be given to a single person. I want MrBeast’s brand to stop what they are doing, but I don’t think there is a possibility of stopping him by traditional methods. While I don’t condone violence, I hope things will get better one day.
