MODERATORS
I’m going to preface this by pointing out that I don’t watch Mr. Beast, and I didn’t watch either of the two videos. My only comment is that it’s a little suspicious that this person is stretching out the accusations across two (three?) videos, across multiple days. Feels like they’re farming for the drama views for as long as possible.
30 minutes of this video is an interview... that touches on different aspects of the beast operation beyond the scope of the first.
The YT account only has two videos (the two about beast).
I don't believe he himself (the creator) was an influencer.
He turned off monetization on the video.
Thanks for the preface, but all this reply does is stir the pot without adding anything of value to the convo.
People have to be able to question the motive of content without being accused of "stirring the pot". Personally I really appreciated that the comment you replied to was posted, as it led you to reply to it, so that I could get more context and information.
Ya know what? Fair.
I do think that's a reasonable take, but the person I replied to seemed unwilling to engage with the content in question but still wanted to chime in casting random uninformed doubts. Doesn't add much of anything. If they had cited parts of the video that made them question it I wouldnt have said anything, because honestly I ALSO asked myself those questions.
