Mr Beast is an evil guy that show how capitalisim can turn poor people into clowns to entertain rich people.

He is an evil individual who fails to address systemic issues or assist people for their own benefit.

As a game show host, he humiliates and exploits participants, boasting about his own virtues without any regard for the contestants.

Examples:

I believe legal intervention is necessary to limit his actions towards people and prevent him from exploiting them for personal gain.

Quick note: while I believe that results of some of his videos is good ( which he did to show how good of a person he is), that does not change the facts about his evil videos, the same way bezoz donations does not make him a good person.

MystikIncarnate,

I mean, most of his content is clickbait BS “I did this dumb thing for 20/30/40+ hours”.

When he involves his subscriber base, he’s typically expecting the same idiotic crap from them…

I don’t really watch his stuff, but that’s literally all I’ve seen him do.

I always see Mr. Beast get a lot of hate every once in a while…and I get that he has a accumulated an insane amount of wealth and fame as a kid which has given him a “unique” look on this world.

But as far as we know the know… Now in adulthood, the guy has yet to actually do anything horrible.

I mean the only thing he is guilty of is having a massive following of mindless people that feed him more eyes.

Yet people keep constantly hating on him for this. Idk if they wish they had his money, fame or what the deal is.

I see true evils happening in the world all the time yet someone always posts this focused hate on this Mr. Beast dude.

I don’t think the hate is gonna stop until he is as destitute as the rest of us.

Being in obnoxious is not a crime.

Majority of jobs here in the USA exploit and humiliate a lot more than any of these videos.

That’s all for my rant. Ty.

I don’t particularly like his style - it’s too loud, flashy and obnoxious - but I don’t think he’s an inherently bad or evil person, and actually does a whole lot of good with his charities.

Sure, some people get to look foolish in his shows, but none of them are going to suffer from long term negative consequences.

People forget how short-lived the internet is nowadays, and it’s not like any of the people are ever listed with their full names or even aliases.

systemglitch,

I was wondering what insane sub I was in for someone to want legal intervention against this guy doing his thing. Lol

How DARE he provide voluntary game show contestants that chance to win money as well as the ability to walk away at every moment.

It’s almost as if the contestants have their own motivations and reasons driving their willing participation in the video.

Like, honestly, half the times that shit just sounds fun. Wife and I found out that NASA was literally doing the same thing as the 100 days in a box challenge as part of a simulation for mars, and we were hyped to do it. Throw in a cash incentive? Even better.

But here’s the kicker: if we weren’t going to do it together, we wouldn’t want to do it, and that’s A VOLUNTARY DECISION I JUST MADE. Some folks would have fun participating given their situation. This isn’t squid games where participants are facing harm.

OP is just mad. Their arguments really remind me of “the unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for”. You’ll notice OP has absolutely no evidence that the participants believed they were taken advantage of.

EDIT: I googled “mr beast taking advantage of contestants” and the results are generally: others taking advantage of Mr. Beast and discussions about the morality of Mr Beast, but I don’t see an article about how a contestant says they were taken advantage of.

MaxPow3r11,

I think this opinion is (thankfully) becoming more popular (all of these youtubers have their “fall” eventually when a younger and more charismatic persona comes along…only a matter of time).

OldWoodFrame,

He’s turning poor people into clowns to entertain other poor people. It’s ad supported it’s not like a private club.

nothead,

I can guarantee you and I are on vastly opposite ends of a wide variety of opinions and views, but one thing everyone should be able to collectively agree on is this right here. Mr beast needs to be purged from the internet.

A bum fight organizer and promoter.

Feels like anyone who criticizes this guy has never seen a gameshow before.

NOOBMASTER,

But he just looks sketchy, and something feels wrong about his freaking “gameshow persona”…

EtherealMoon,
@EtherealMoon@lemmy.world avatar

“Looks sketchy” and “feels wrong” is a strong argument.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve only watched like two of his videos. Seems pretty harmless and kinda fun compared to lots of boring YouTubers stuck in their algorithms.

frankenswine,

Shoenice!

Squizzy,

Legal interventions in what way, he hasnt broke a law.

Its just boring virtue signalling.

Chip_Rat,

My guess is OP thinks there SHOULD be a law preventing people like me beast from profiting off of this sort of “entertainment”. I’d say I agree but I don’t know how I’d draw that line. I just don’t watch.

LifeInMultipleChoice, (edited )

Either bring back high taxes on the rich like President Theodore told us or don’t condemn the rich for giving away money to make money. We fucked ourselves. Let’s unfuck it, not talk shit about rich people giving shit away

5in1k,

Yeah I don’t care if he does an amount of good. I just don’t like the guy, there’s something off.

Mechanite, (edited )

I think it’s plainly just sketchy when someone is doing good things but making it extremely publicly open and obvious to anyone that it’s happening. There’s an argument to be made around publicity = ads = more funding for similar stuff but it still feels a little icky. Not to say his contributions are negligible of course

Beer_Raccoon,

Dude has “I have a basement of unspeakable horrors” kinda vibes. He looks dead behind his eyes, like truly soulless. We are 100% finding out some nonsense sometime in the near future.

Muffi,

He’s a man-child with too many resources. There was recently an interview with him, where he just suddenly left in anger, because a set piece was not the way he imagined it. Instead of trying to communicate his disappointment he just got angry and left. You could see on his crew that this is how he acts all the time, and that they were fed up with having a child as a boss.

There is something wrong with how we have structured society when a POS like him can get that successful.

PutangInaMo,

Not trying to defend the guy, but in the video you posted he did admit he’s not good at making those kinds of videos. He seemed overwhelmed.

MaxPow3r11,

Not to mention someone like Elon Musk (horrible human) shooting to the VERY TOP of the “economic ladder”.

Bullshit joke of a “society”.

Custoslibera,

Who would have guessed the man who found success by counting to 100,000 isn’t a well developed people manager and leader?

Duamerthrax,

Do you have a link to the interview? I’ve always been suspicious of him because he never seems “off”. Always the same click bait friendly face.

Muffi,

Sure! It’s this one right here

NOOBMASTER,

that permanent smile… even when he talks!

Something about him rubs me the wrong way, I can’t put it into words. I won’t be surprised if we find out he eats people or fucks kids or something.

slumlordthanatos,

That fake grin he plasters all over his videos tickles that “uncanny valley” part of my brain.

That, and many years of working in hospitality has taught me that the people who make the biggest deal about their grace and charity tend to secretly be the shittiest people. There are exceptions, and I don’t have any proof Mr. Beast is a secret asshole, but the pattern is there, and it remains to be seen if he’s a part of it.

0x2d,

i agree, something about his videos is off
