He has been exposed for months now and literally nothing came of it. I don't see how "tHe fBi" would suddenly give a crap, given also that what it's show in the logs is just a bunch of offensive memes and shit...
So this comes across as someome else trying to get attention and moral points from this...
If you actually want to do the right thing get off those toxic platforms and follow better creators elsewhere. Block ads too, they should not get a penny out of you.
Did you read through the chat? I don't think there's anything damning there. It was 7 minutes of video swiping through an immature telegram group chat from 2019.
Basketball my place, Don't do it he f**** cheats, I don't cheat Y'all are a bunch of. *******. (Pic of a cartoon with a dick on it). Two comments about somebody leaving a bad comment on their video (another cartoon with a dick on it) who wants to play risk, Don't do it he ******* cheats
He obviously fucked over a lot of emergency services and there's nobody there that can manage a fucking production to save their lives. But in the end it's just a bunch of Bros talking trash and drawing dicks on things, while it's rather poor taste for a production company that has a lot of kids watching it, The bullshit in the chat doesn't seem to come out in the videos.
Now if Tyler was actually grooming a minor back in the day there might be something there but the chats just raunchy bullshit nothing really criminal there
With the FBI I guess, but then youtube didn't do shit, nor his sponsors. It's all business as usual with mr. beast. Usually platforms are quick to act on these things. It shows they don't give 2 shits as long as the money flows in.
This Rosanna character is also disgusting because she's milking all of this for sweet money. I just checked and she has posted regularly about mr beast these past months, and all of those videos are monetized. So yeah, all in all just more shit. I don't think give a shit either.
The only way to win is to not make their wallets bigger.
I don't really know who the fuck this is, apart from being some YouTuber for kids. Probably plays Fortnite.
Is "discussing inappropriate topics" a crime now? I skimmed the video, but most of just looked like the usual adolescent 4chan stuff. Racist stuff in there? Sure. But we've got a presidential candidate who declared that immigrants "poison the blood" of America. A couple of memes from a flash-in-the-pan "celebrity" hardly seems worthy of the FBI's time...
As far as I can tell most of the paedo/grooming allegations are about one of his staff members. Is this story really about them and they've just slapped MrBeast in the headline for clicks?
Beast is charity exploitation porn. One of those people that does “good deeds” and then plasters himself all over the good deed while recording the people he is helping, demonstrating how great a thing he is doing, while simultaneously stuffing his pockets as fast as he can with cash. He’s supposedly a billionaire to give you an idea of where his priorities are.
The problem here is how you present your opinion and thoughts as fact. I even agree with your opinion, but I don't really care that he does it. I'm sure he is exploiting people to profit for himself, but at least he's giving people things.
There's a lot worse out there to dedicate care and energy to.
It's always so sad, yet predictable, when people that get famous become drunk with power and make poor life choices that hurt others. If put to good use, the power these people wield could do so much good.
This world needs more people like Mr. Rogers, Steve Wozniak, and Keanu Reeves. Not this shit.
I think in MrBeast's case, he got big precisely because he was willing to hurt and manipulate others, not that he changed once he made it. He seems like a grade A PoS.
The thing I'm most surprised about is that it took so long for the cracks to show.
Unfortunately, not him either. He's such a big fan of the bigot Graham Hancock that he's involved in Hancock's Netflix series.
And you don't have to believe me about Hancock. There are indigenous Americans that are happy to tell you all about it.
The description for the Secrets of the Ancients program listed on the Chaco filming permit application said the program would explore “one of archaeology’s biggest mysteries: the peopling of the Americas”.
It went on to state: “We’ll uncover the latest findings about the earliest inhabitants of the Americas and reveal remarkable scientific knowledge that’s been handed down for generations. Where did humans settle first in the Americas, and what do we know about them?”
Hancock, who is not an archeologist, has attracted the ire of those in the profession, as well as Native groups, for pushing a theory that an advanced ice age society, responsible for modern understandings of maths, architecture and agriculture, was wiped out by floods triggered by comet strikes nearly 12,000 years ago.
Evidence of this is found at ancient sites around the world, Hancock claims, with the writer visiting such places in countries including Turkey, Mexico and Indonesia in the first season of the Netflix show, aired in 2022. During the show, which Netflix promoted with the tagline “What if everything we know about prehistoric humans is wrong?”, Hancock railed against “mainstream archaeology” for not accepting his theories.
“[Hancock] presents his theories as being superior to what the first inhabitants of the area say about their own history,” said Stewart Koyiyumptewa, tribal historic preservation officer for the Hopi Nation.
The Hopi people have lived in or near the Grand Canyon for at least 2,000 years and claim a sacred site inside the canyon as their place of emergence. They also have strong ties to Chaco Canyon.
A Grand Canyon national park staff member who is Native American also pushed back against issuing a permit to ITN.
“This is embarrassing and a discredit to our agency when we have been working hard to respect Indigenous people and right many historical wrongs,” wrote the staff member in an email to Grand Canyon park management. “This is just degrading.”
I understand your stance but compared to Mr. Beast, not the same comparison. Mr. Rogers, Steve Erwin, and Levar Burton (should always be included) I would listen to their input on helping everyone. They are smart and good.
Keanu and maybe Woody Harrison are more of good people that you don't hear horrible stuff about that are universally famous.
No kid touching, woman abusing, racist rants, or Nazi praising episodes. Morgan Freemen and Bill Cosby use to be that way but over time it started to crack. Even Dave Grohl has fallen from the list. Of course these examples are not a 1:1.
The second group, like I said, is more good not smart. They have flaws but are universal good people. Ross was a great person but horrible judgment in some people. Look at his son's battle for his family name.
“[Hancock] presents his theories as being superior to what the first inhabitants of the area say about their own history,” said Stewart Koyiyumptewa, tribal historic preservation officer for the Hopi Nation.
The Hopi people have lived in or near the Grand Canyon for at least 2,000 years and claim a sacred site inside the canyon as their place of emergence. They also have strong ties to Chaco Canyon.
Obviously Hancock is a crackpot but saying that he offends other people with equally falsified theories is not exactly strong criticism...
Because you aren't browsing videos on youtube's Trending page on the daily? MrBeast started as a gamerbros do things channel and got popular, then started becoming a cursed gameshow host (but the youtube version). He's an antivillain, through and through. I've known that from the start. However, until allegations show something that's not just edgy teenager groupchat dirt, I won't judge further.
Is he a good guy? No. Is he the scum of society? Not yet.
Grumbles in elder millennial: I'm quite annoyed that we're in the era of some youtubers and streamers getting so popular that I'm forced to learn of their existence like athletes, actors, and pop music people. I was not prepared for this new reality.
Fellow millennial here and I'd say the common culture of the past that made us feel stupid for not knowing certain famous people is mostly dead. Society is so splintered in what media we consume that even my friends with very similar interests consume different games, movies, books, music, etc.
No, you are not. I'm in the same boat. The only thing I know about him is he is a big shot youtuber. Never seen anything he's ever done to be "famous".
Nor do I care to. And I can't be arsed to even read the article about him.
You might know of him by his food lines. Beastbars are all over the supermarkets in Germany. The marketing on the packaging didn't really fit in with what I expect to see (he doesn't look like a footballer or athlete) so I looked him up and learned from there.
In July 2024, Ava Kris Tyson, a former employee of MrBeast, left the YouTuber’s team after allegations surfaced that she had “groomed” a young fan.
Just hours later, Donaldson vowed to investigate the situation and claimed he was unaware of any prior wrongdoing. However, this new information indicates that the YouTuber may have known more than he initially let on.
“I have received thousands of messages from an official MrBeast work chat,” begins Pansino in the new YouTube video.
“These are all just their work chats from 2020 to 2021,” she revealed before also stating that she “verified the legitimacy of these chats with former MrBeast employees, and let me tell you, they are insane.”
She further noted that these leaked messages were from a Telegram channel that MrBeast used when speaking to his employees. She also included a trigger warning due to the “inappropriate topics” mentioned throughout the conversations.
I hate the reputation Telegram has gotten (though I understand). I still use it for family group chats ever since I left iPhones and iMessages. Back then it was basically just a less restricted WhatsApp
Most YouTubers are the worst kinds of people to get famous, alongside Twitch streamers. They just don't really know how to handle it, they let it all get to their head eventually and things come crashing down bit by bit once it's inevitably revealed that they're shit people.
Who's next? Good Mythical Morning? PewDiePie? It's almost like every year or other year, someone who made it big on YouTube/Twitch has a fall from grace moment.
I don't watch GMM but I always got the impression that they were really good dudes who use their status to lift other people up. But maybe I've been fooled.
They seemed really genuine in the video they made about their religious upbringing and the regrets they had from that time
As someone who has subscribed to them off and on a few times. I know that they seem like they're very open people who play it safe and probably could be the kind of guys you'd be buddies with. Yet I too sometimes cannot shake this lingering feeling that something at somepoint is going to blow up.
The best way to know about a person is to listen to them. When MB came out he did an interview with that one young gay dude and Jimmy happily admitted he was a degenerate. Once he admitted that I was done with him. He’s basically a man child with a billion dollars. Where have I seen that before?
Yeah! Why would the agency that investigates online child sex abuse be interested in chat logs that potentially contain information about online child sex abuse?
It doesn't say that? It mentions a former employee was a groomer. But it also doesn't mention why company chat logs would have anything to do with that.
FYI, OP edited the link in the post, so you and I are not seeing the same article as others are. Some are seeing a Newsweek article about the story, and I think you're seeing the Insider Gaming article that I'm also seeing, which provides basically zero details.
They never connect the dots when reading the chain of articles. If you go back through, you can find a vidcap of the telegram chat in question.
Looks like it from back in covid. It's a bit raunchy. Honestly not unlike any chat you'll see between a handfull of immature guys. It's kinda hard to follow, it just scrolls by for 7 minutes, mostly memes, dicks on catoons and them bitching about people leaving them needy or critisizing comments.
If Tyson did groom an underaged kid, maybe there's something in there damning, I didn't see anything obvious.
