These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.
After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.
Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.
For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.
Fuck meta, fuck x, and YouTube is not far off.
Fuck youtube
•use newpipe
So here’s the thing I love watching YouTube in the mornings on my TV box while having my coffee and while getting ready to suck the days dick. I watch either music videos or podcasts that I am interested in. Does newpipe have integration into TV boxes / smart tvs? I guess I could always cast…
Smarttubenext works great
Had to double check if it was the onion…
Man. I blocked them with my pihole because I got tired of max volume jump scares whenever I clicked on a link to their. Guess it’s staying blocked indefinitely.
Instagram is owned by Meta… Facebook.
Facebook had no problem helping pedophiles distribute child pornography on their platform, terrorists and Nazis from organizing events on their platform, or allowing deceptive political ads that swayed the votes of democratic nations.
Why would they give any fuck about fake Mr beast ads?
I’ve reported Nazis, violent threats, and literal child pornography on Instagram that then told me it didn’t go against their guidelines.
Actual child porn? How do you mean?
Porn with actual children.
Can you be more specific? Like AI generated 17 year olds, or real photos of some 3 year old kid in someone’s dungeon? There’s a big difference.
Both are children… So why does it matter? In USA under 18 is classified as a minor/child regardless if it is generated or not still illegal
No idea mate; not the OP.
As in child sexual abuse material. It’s pretty rampant on Instagram where they like to ‘hide’ under certain tags.
But if you make a clear joke in a joke group, you get flagged and can’t get it reviewed.
But god forbid if you say a no-no word like ‘suicide’.
Did you report the CP to the police?
No usually I report it to NCMEC who has better resources to deal with it. Cops very rarely care or are able to do anything.
Same… “this huge anal horse dildo does not break our marketplace guidelines”
I read between the lines: this is the content they support, so it’s not a platform for me.
I don’t think you understand how hard and resource-intensive it is to fight against the nipple crowd. I for one am grateful that they chose to do something about the real issues ! Yes, a world with free nazis is kind of a bother, but most of us would survive. Can you imagine the horror of a world with free nipples ? We would all be doomed, that’s for sure. /big s
But sexualized breastfeeding content that is borderline CSAM is a-ok lol
Enshittification has become the new way of life for tech firms like Meta.
They lay off workers and decrease user safety, because that leads to more ad buys. This year’s record profits need to exceed last year’s record profits, even though a fourth of you are fired. More profit, or else…
Yeah, no. Instagram was done enahittifying LONG before the term was coined.
I doubt they’re missing them. They simply don’t care and will continue to not care until something happens that makes the money generated by the ADs not worth it.
Sounds like a good time to make Mr Beast aware of these, he has a lot of disposable income to burn on a lawsuit or three.
These scam ads have been an issue for at least a year. I’m pretty sure they’re automated and there’s very little that can be done to trace them to their original sources. I’m sure if Mr. Beast did threaten to sue Meta, then they would just start filtering “beast” from ads.

Start by holding the ad account holder liable. When I worked in digital marketing and ran ad accounts, I had to upload my driver’s license.
You live in a civilized country.
There are others where you can get a stack of fake drivers licenses for a couple groshen.

I spent $500,000,000 to destroy a company
If 500m could take down Meta, I bet we could crowd fund that shit. Someone set up a GoFundMe!
Just get Elon Musk to buy it.
Honestly protecting vulnerable people from these scams is probably more generous than the usual philanthropy he does
So what they are saying is they are willing to take liability and thus be open to being sued over this as they know of the scams but say they do not break community guidelines
Got it
Seems like Mr Beast might have a claim for a defamation suit since they’re actively allowing what amounts to identity theft and fraud on their platform.
Yeah, only the rich would benefit. Again.
On Twitter I’ve reported:
- Pictures of dead babies/toddlers
- Pictures of murdered people
- Death threats towards public figures
- Illegal videos of terrorist acts
- Ads for illegal weapons (tasers)
- So so much crypto spam
Things found by Twitter to go against their community standards? 0
idk i got a couple of accounts banned by reporting, twitter is pretty good at it’s job (or used to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
This has all been in the last year…
i got 5 accounts banned in the last year
Why are you on X Twitter to begin with‽
Exactly. Get the fuck off the Nazi platform
They’re all catering to Nazi’s now it feels like as Meta seems to not enforce any quality standards
do they even have community standards anymore?
Do they even have a community anymore?
unfortunately they do
I’ve been suspended for no reason more than once
“for no reason”?
yea like a false positive or whatever
The reason is that you still have an account despite all the reason why you shouldn’t any more. Get rid of it and it should solve it.
ok but nobody on reddit or lemmy or mastodon is funny
Yeah, they are more leanient with their customers than with their products…
He fired more than 80% of the original workers. There is nobody to check the reports.
[…] Mr Beasts popularity, generosity […]
Mr. Beast feels so unlikable to me, I really can’t understand his popularity. But that’s beside the point, sorry. Fuck instagram!
My understanding is he gives a lot of his money away to various causes so I suppose that’s why people like him.
But of course equally he is part of that annoying YouTuber trend of bouncing around the screen being very loud and thinking that that’s a substitute for personality.
It is an interesting business model. Good for the people he spends money on, but no one should have that much money to begin with. And I am sure he takes his cut.
But without having watched many videos of him (about 2), his appearance just screams devious weasel to me.
The two biggest charity events he’s had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away luxury shit and engaging in his usual hedonism during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it’s not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn’t he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?
Also, he definitely profited from both charity events. All the videos have ads and he made no mention of donating the ad revenue so one can only assume he kept it (because if he was going to donate the ad revenue he absolutely would not pass up on making that known to everyone), not to mention the amount of engagement it brought to his other videos and his brand as a whole. That’s also assuming he doesn’t do what most influencer charity campaigns do and directly take a big cut of the donations as a marketing fee or something.
oh sorry, and how many wells and schools have you made?
He had you donate to him instead of directly for the same reason businesses ask you to donate to X charity at the registers - tax breaks. I mean, I’m not an account but I imagine this is why he did it that way.
I’ve stopped reporting obvious scams / spam on instagram because something like 19 out of 20 reports get ignored or denied
It’s still worthwhile. It could be that after X number of reports they assign a human.
Better solution: leave their platform
They’re also pretty cool with Nazi’s now too, Meta is a garbage company
YouTube also rejected my report for fake Mrbeast giveaway ads :(
How do you even report ads on Youtube? I’ve been seeing the same obviously fake Elon Musk ad for some AI trading tool, and still can’t figure out how to actually report anything.
