    Questionable Video, this guy claims to have worked with him but doesn’t show actual proof. Also yeah welcome to entertainment, many things are staged, he still does lots of good.

      A member of Mr Beast’s team confirmed that he did, in fact, work for them. Although, he apparently only worked there for a short amount of time.

        Yes i know, it was in one video and not even the entire time, some other youtubers did stuff for Mrbeast and did some behind the scenes as well, i don’t say that the videos aren’t staged partially or scripted, doesn’t make the good or interesting inside the videos less valuable, its just made to be more entertaining. And idk how he can be a scam in general, he doesn’t do anything that can be scam he sells merchandise, people buy that willingly.

        I just think this video is useless or outright flame bait.

          The video goes into some detailed allegations of actually illegal practices taking place with a lot of their contests and giveaways, such as obfuscating the “no purchase necessary” clause in their promo copies, making it unreasonably hard to enter the contest without making a purchase, “fixing” the contest so that some prizes go out to friends/family of the company instead of outside entrants, forging autographed merch, etc.

            Yes but there is no real coherent Evidence, its mostly allegations. I don’t say that all of this cannot be true, i just say that it’s not really believable currently. When now a lot of participants would stand up and talk about malicious practices i would probably believe it more. The forged autographs are actually pretty common, i don’t like it either but its not new.

              He provides a lot of evidence, largely including video footage and screenshots of the exact things he’s alleging. In fact, just about every claim he makes in the video is backed up by a clip or a screenshot. Whether or not those prove the claims he’s making is one thing, but to say he’s not provided any coherent evidence wouldn’t really be accurate.

              Did you watch the video? I know it’s long and not the most entertaining thing in the world, but I’m getting the feeling that you’re running on assumptions here, because a lot of the blanks you have are filled in by the video.

          There is another video that goes into detail about how it is illegal to sell products for entry to a random giveaway. Which he had done multiple times.

          He is absolutely scamming people and uses predatory tactics against children. Watch the SomeOrdinaryGamers video on it, it’s pretty clear. (For posterity, that video I’m mentioning is Mutahar watching and commenting about a different video to clarify and give his opinion)
