    I have seen enough to know those is all some weird ass bullshit campaign too fuck this guy. It’s all been so engineered and vague. What a joke

    Actually reading these comments I’m starting to get it. I think mr beast is a bit of a powerful influencer. But generally apolitical. Inn order to sway him the right will make these huge pushes trying to find dirt to force these influencers to end up like Russell Brandt where he looks for an audience on the right after the left eats the onion

        He broke laws live on stream to convince kids to gamble. This has nothing to do with any possible presidential run.

            … it’s literally in the video… Twice…

            And now because I know you are here to do nothing but waste my time, you will probably ask me for a timestamp, and I would normally provide it of course because I want to keep the discussion intellectually honest.

            But it’s pretty clear that you don’t, and of course after ignoring my timestamp hyperlink, you will make up some vapid arguments on how it is unpossible for Mr Least to ever have done such a thing and that I’m stupid for misunderstanding federal gambling laws.

            And we can go back and forth for hours, me posting evidence, you saying whatever stupid shit that comes to your mind to push the discussion far away from the original point that Mr. Least is illegally involving children in gambling.

            And I am so just fuckdamn tired of intellectually dishonest people like you ‘just asking questions’.

            So

            Amazingly

            Fuckdamn

            Tired.

            So you’re blocked now.

                Your abelism infuriates me. If I were younger, I’d waste an hour rhetorically browbeating you.

                You could have already completely watched the video by now but still you are here whining for timestamps just like I predicted you would. The more shitstain forum sliders keep using the same tactics, the easier it is to call your uncreative asses out on it.

                Mr. Least encouraged children to gamble, broke gambling laws to increase buying pressure, and even less shocking apparently hasn’t made good on most of the ‘winners’ anyway.

                Yet you are here pretending he just accidentally bent a few obscure sweepstakes laws instead of the critical point that he USED HIS INFLUENCE OVER CHILDREN TO CONVINCE THEM TO GAMBLE!

      It’s not vague at all, Mr Least actively broke gambling laws multiple times during livestreams to push sales. May I remind you his primary audience is children, he was encouraging children to illegally gamble for prizes and money.

      So I think you have to be a part of his shitty PR team and have now blocked you for all eternity.

        His kids snacks are disgusting and unhealthy, the clothes he sells fall apart after 3 washes, but since he makes kids glued to the screen, all of society will protect his assholery.

      Killing someone just for revenge should never be the answer. That’s the kind of tactic that makes dictators and fascists what they are. The desire to watch something like that is even more alarming.

        They’re not killing him for revenge. They’re killing him for money. Big difference. I’m sure he’s killed quite a few people for money, so I don’t think he has any room to complain.

      This is what I’ve said about Mr.Beast from day 1. First video I saw of his was putting his friends in a taped off square in some backyard and the last one to leave keeps the car. So a rich asshole makes people dance for money and then he profits off the video for more than he paid. Mr.Beast is 1 of 2 youtubers that I have used an extension to explicitly block me from seeing his videos in my feed.

          BlockTube. It let’s you block all kinds of stuff from specific videos to channels, even block shorts outright. I only use the channel block feature, so your milage may vary with the rest of it, but it’s pretty easy to use so it works for me.

        It’s funny you say that, because last summer a coworker of mine became completely obsessed with Mr Beast. He’s a 50y/o retired marine captain. Not the kind of person that fits into the normal beast demographic.

                One time, he was bitching about how he’s the only one getting anything done at work. He said “I’ve done a million things today. I did A, and B.” And i asked him if that’s how he thought counting worked. “1, 2, a million? What is this, marine math?” And he fucking LOVED that. He uses “marine math” all the time now.

    I think Dogpack is brave. Jimmy and his attorneys can cook up a worthless lawsuit to hurt Dogpack financially. Jimmy is so rich legal expenses won’t be problematic. While Dogpack may have a hard time with legal expenses, I think.

    It’s like Logan Paul versus Coffeezilla. Logan is so rich; Coffeezilla isn’t.

      He’s an ex-worker at Jimmy’s firm. If everything he said is false, it’s an easy defamation lawsuit for Jimmy versus him. He dug his own grave. I think he wasn’t dumb to do that. The points he made made sense to me, except the legal stuff. I’m not an attorney. Anyway, we haven’t heard Jimmy’s side.

        Why do people call him Jimmy so often? We don’t know him. He signs MB on his merch so it seems unnecessary.

        True that if the guy making accusations does not have proof, it will be a pretty shit position to be in. I have seen other creators giving him the benefit of the doubt based on their experiences collaborating Mr. Beast though, so it’s kind of early to tell. And the illegal lottery accusations seem pretty straight forward to prove based on archived videos circulating.

        Edit: reworded first few sentences.

          If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, many of whom were kids, seemingly. He said something like “The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000.” right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.

          The 💤 deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was cruel.

    Ill post this comment here too since it’s the same video, but you might want to put a content warning on this video, it’s pretty rough.

    The first video is largely about him running illegal lotteries, which is pretty terrible given the scale they operate at, but it’s something that the average person might not know about or really think about it being essentially child gambling.

    This second video is an interview with a former employee who was put in solitary confinement for a video that never made it to YouTube because it was actually just them torturing him. Like, legitimate Geneva Convention war crime torture. Constant noise, no idea what time it is because you can’t see the sun, constant lights so you can’t sleep, constant monitoring, and him running until his feet bled.

    If any of it is anywhere near true they need to be sued off the face of the planet in addition to going to prison.
