His reaction on hearing the news:

How can you smile but not smile at the same time?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

A regular smile is shown a lot in the eyes. The eyes are dead and hollow in this picture

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.

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.

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

I haven't paid attention honestly. Just saying things take time to investigate properly

  1. I don't really know who the fuck this is, apart from being some YouTuber for kids. Probably plays Fortnite.

  2. 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?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

Not that I'm a fan, but he is literally the biggest channel on youtube. So it might be interesting to read up on him

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He run hundreds of illegal lotteries and will eventually get jail time.

LOL, imagine wasting the FBIs time with spicy chat logs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

About time this clown got exposed for who he really is. I always heard murmurs about what he is and what he does, yet they were always swept away.
