Ken needs to make this a series as "Toastie News" or something 🤣🤣

[--.UNKNOWN.--]

Anyone remember when Jacksepticeye said "Mr. Beast is ruining YouTube by glorifying what he does" and "if he was truly having fun he would make his videos longer" and Mr. Beast had a temper tantrum saying "Oh, I can say SO MUCH about HIS content BUT I'M NOT GONNA because I'M the bigger person" like a third grader?

That was before the Rosana stuff. And that should of been the public's first red flag.

I really think you guys should watch the full dogpack videos, specifically the interview with jake weddle. Watching a summary isnt going to paint the most accurate picture of how exactly traumatic jakes story is. I watched it and it legitimately made me cry hearing him clearly reliving the trauma as he was telling the story

[bluebados]

The summary video does not do the accusations justice. It isnt that "Mr beast makes kids trust him for subscribers" its "Mr Beast ran illegal lotteries targeted at children." Its not "Mr beast picks people around him to be in his videos" its "Mr beast makes a big show saying you can be randomly selected to be in a video but he chooses his employees and their family members to be in his videos" Ken and Buff should just react to the whole two videos at this point.

genuine reminder that the Rosanna thing isn't about a bad edit but because she had a bad experience on the set including feeling like she was pushed out and was there to meet a diversity quota as the only woman in the videos. Then the edit came out and it reinforced it as the edit placed focus on the white male content creators and changed the ranking of a woman and a man of colour to instead highlight a Paul brother.
It was honestly disheartening how many people put it down to just the edit and not that her experience on set was a bad one

[Bennettalisha]

If Dr. Disrespect gets his platform back, that just shows there is absolutely no consequences to your actions.

[Princesspandapop]

11:35 it’s the problem that he markets to kids and they can’t tell he is lying. They think it’s real. Also Rosana needs an apology since everyone bullied her into retracting her original statement.

[weirdbe]

Dude the amount of drama that has happened on youtube in the past month. I am FLABBERGASTED.

[MollyEva-ll]

This is why y’all need to watch the video cus that girl knows her stuff she answered every single question y’all had

[Stella-wbuf]

I feel so bad for that worker of Mr beast. What they did with the isolation ‘challenge’… literally labeled torture. You’re not allowed to sleep deprive prisoners of war. Hope he gets better

[itzTeTe]

So many people owe Rosanna an apology 😭

[Thegeekponygirl]

Ken you didnt speak about the employee who got tortured with solitary for 30

[jamesb]

You went too safe on this. There were SO many other things. Literal abuse being one.. I know you want the channel to remain nuetral but sometimes you can't.

[AlanJ]

This is probably the worst summary of Mr.Beast drama basically no context for anything. There is also the guy who was on H3H3 talking about a producer that worked at MrBeast and the Jake Weddler stuff.

[zoehepburn]

Youre forgetting hes aimed at kids/teens.. not people in their 30's who understand what the internet is and how maniplulative it is

[GamerKittyEuphoric]

My issue with beast is the dangers he puts people in, for almost no payback, like, holy moly

[jjongsmoon]

I feel like you misunderstood if not minimized the issue with mrbeast. it felt very immature, insincere, and dismissive.

the problem is that:
1) he is aimed at a child audience and they do not understand that it is fake. and he is promoting gambling through lotteries (which is illegal, as only federal owned may do that).
2) he is putting contestant in dangerous circumstances, i.e., the beast games (partenered with amazon) and contests like the one the former employee, Weddle, went through. These circumstances can be life altering if not deadly.
additional points to this, if weddle had come out a month earlier he would have been able to sue. because what mrbeast productions did was illegal. it was torture. the contestants of beast games were denied medicine and pads and food, they can do a class action.
3) the issue with faking videos is that they're rigged. adults will understand that, kids don't. and he is using poor people as entertainment, basically telling a person in need "dance monkey dance". what type of person looks at squid games and think "ah yes let's do this irl"?
4) he employed a RSO at a managerial position knowing he was an offender. this was confirmed by the RSO's brother in law, Jake the Viking. and there are supposedly more allegations of workplace misconduct due to come out.
5) he aided in creating a toxic work environment at mrbeast productions where there are ingroups and outgroups and overworking people and incentivising them to lie and pressuring them with the potential of losing their job.

honestly this was a bad take. you need to look at the severity of these claims. they are coming from many individuals who are not related to one another. just watching a 1min summerisation and only skimming the document doesn't even scratch the surface of these issues. you need to watch the videos and read the relating texts. you can easily dismiss people when you don't see or listen to their pain. weddle's testimony reminds me of many victim testimonies at trials, of people with ptsd. the testimonies of people at the beast games are horrifying to read.

[runisa]

I get what y’all are saying, but saying other companies do this isn’t a great defense.


Like MrBeast chocolate promotes gambling, but so do cereal boxes.


The difference between the 2 is that MrBeast holds more power over the minds of small children than cereal boxes do.



As uncle Ben said with great power comes great responsibility, and MrBeast has great power which is why people are holding him more responsible than they do others

[candied-bees]

One of the things that’s always bothered me about Mr beast is that the people participating in his videos are either incredibly disadvantaged and in NEED of money or his and his employees friends and family. It reduces everything to either a rigged wwe style event with none of the fun and creative scripting OR a hunger games/saw type psychological torture chamber that a poor person needs to suffer through to “earn” a small potion of the money needed to MAYBE turn their life around. None of Mr. Beasts brand has ever conveyed to me that he’s interested in philanthropy and helping people. Just exploitation.

[awesomeninja]

You really only scraped the surface with this. First there’s also the NYT times article which describes the horrible conditions on production of the series Beast Games. Then there’s also the second dog pack video which you really need to watch even if it’s long. It describes the horrible torture he put a contestant through while dangling and pressure and expectations so he wouldn’t quit. He’s literally a sad villain like you said
