@@liamoliverdarroch6482 I have gotten ads for straight up Ponzi schemes before. But yes the amount of scams just in general is ridiculous.

And she was talking about how hot it was... I don't think I need to even divulge with the rest of the ad.. was mostly because I skipped it and was fuming.

He found a formula to make the biggest videos on the platform, would he really be inclined to not make the most of an opportunity to become the biggest TH-camr ever? Like, sure it’s not super healthy for TH-cam to constantly have raised stakes but people are already growing tired of it.. just like how everyone stopped being interested in unedited gaming videos, they’re starting to drop off care for flashy spectacles. I mean it’s fairly obvious by MrBeasts last few videos.. he’s been doing less money “challenges” and more focusing on the characters in his videos to make story content. Although I think that the people aren’t well written, that’s kinda gonna happen with real people. He has an obsession with only perfection and I can tell that his new videos aren’t itching that.. the people aren’t super endearing characters. That’s why ages 1-100 part 2 was so good for his channel. He was able to edit the video in a way where 42 was a villian fighting a hero. That’s the kind of characters he wants. But the new videos aren’t hitting that mark anymore. I can tell his creative itch isn’t being met because of how his newer videos are more about survival than crazy flashy challenge. Knowing him he probably wants the survival to be flashy but knows that he can’t genuinely risk the lives of his contestants so he’s making low effort slop like the cave video. He’s starting to go through a slight change that might relax the whole challenge million dollars thing. Despite that this trend is something that’s deep rooted in TH-cam now just like the idea of playing video games is. It won’t easily “go away” but it’ll be less absurdly popular than it was a bit ago.
Honestly im super grateful that dogpack did what he did. Sure, it didnt accomplish much in terms of bringing down Mr Beast himself (at least not yet) but it has definitely exposed the internet to how screwed up the business model of his and other channels like his are. Everyone was showering Mr Beast with love and praise a few months ago, and now the internet appears to be entering an all-out war against corporate youtube channels. Dogpack may have inadvertently healed the youtube platform
It might have done some damage actually. MrBeast has released 3 videos since after the first DogPack video. They got 104M, 116M and 182M views. (Check out his channel page for yourself and you'll see what I mean) That's a ton for any YTer but for MrBeast, he normally gets ~200M views. I get it takes time to build up a view count but being tens of millions short of your average is pretty rough. Now it's ~151M on average (which is -25% in $$$ he gets from views, which is insane. Example: If he was making $400k/video, it's now $300k/video. Over 10 videos, he'd be missing out on $1 million). If it keeps up, he's gonna lose a lot of money.
It was the first step. Before the dogpack video, almost everybody still loved MrBeast. I remember watching the aftermath of dogpacks first video.. it was nasty. Nowhere near enough, but in the future people will be keeping a very close eye and trying to expose more things. With enough effort it can happen

heres the thing commentary should be community news/history on topics and communities your interested in not just a quick buck or exposing someone. those are exposasitsts

@imtyler99yearsago90 That TH-cam is in the wrong. I don't care if someone likes or hates Jimmy. I just have a problem with the actual corporation trying to manipulate people into liking him. It's clear favouritism.
i would love to say that this video is actually super eye-opening.. Genuinely all my for you page rn is drama, commentary, food videos etc. Because these thumbnails and titles are so intriguing and it's purposely made that way. I opened TH-cam with no account on a different device and it all had my interest. Art, diy, music, thrifting, alternative history and fashion!!! All made my TH-camrs who aren't as popular as people who sit in front of a camera and talk about drama and controversies. Ty for making this! I will seek these people
I often think how 15 years ago we were saying "So good, TH-cam is going to replace TV!" but now it seems YT did'nt replace it but became the TV, with all its flaws.
I think the issue is more a general issue with Neoliberalism. Nobody has a sence of morality, nobody has any commitment to anything besides money. Look at the government. Every figure in the government is corrupt because they decided to put monetary gain infront of there sence of duty for there nation.
You act like critikal ever has anything important to say lmao he’s the ultimate fence rider. Not to say it’s a bad thing but Charlie would just say “so yeah if Jimmy is doing this it’s pretty bad but we won’t know until he gives his side. That’s about it. See ya”
I mean he's more of a report-rundown of a situation channel when he covers dramas. I dont think people watch for his opinion,not on dramas atleast since he plays games and talks about movies too. He's also not a member that knows the behind the scenes,there's nothing he can add.
@@gostix8599 you forgot when he insisted that idubbz had nothing to apologize for because “what he said wasn’t hurtful” and then doubled down when responding to criticism. Charlie gives his opinions more than you think and more often than not, they are worthless
You made really great points, I haven't really heard anyone else bringing up any of this and hadnt exactly thought about the things happening from this perspective
@@Duckz4bucks These commentary channels have been doing this for years though, just because you have an attachment to this one doesn't make him different Plus, that amount of cloned thumbnails speaks for itself...
True, but I think Mr.Beast (who began his career filming the homeless for clout) was always bad. I think some people aim for fame and power because they were bad people already. I think their lack of morals helps them get ahead in those power structures. Power doesn't always change, sometimes they were always bad.
I think it really depends on a person and their moral code and if you betray your morals for becoming a brand and leaving your integrity behind then you never had a moral code anyway.
I digress, I think it’s possible to avoid this. Just like when I’m more productive if I put down my phone, I could create content based on community and passion if I stop looking at the stats.
@@lordfreerealestate8302 reminds me of a saying introduced by one entertainment analysis youtuber, “power and wealth do not corrupt a man, they reveal his true nature.”
What started off as and should’ve remained something to be viewed fun, entertaining, unique, and enjoyable, has now become all about glory , prestige, and fame (RIP Mr. Beast 2018-2022)
Thanks for this good video. I especially appreciate your Penguin0 call-out, and more importantly - pointing out how TH-camrs becoming brands often makes them more shallow, especially with you also using Odds1out as an example
8:53 you can sell way more units if you sell chocolate or gummies than if you sell a t-shirt. The average customer would only like a few shirts in a year (or more) but they’d likely buy way more food products or other consumables (since they’re consumables) The “healthy” marketing is just so parents are less hesitant to buy it for their screaming children
I really like how you brought up that Penguinz0 hasn't brought up the controversy yet. And I'd like to bring up that AMP, one of the biggest twitch/youtube groups made a whole video WITH Mr Beast, and I'm positive they deleted comment's talking about the whole drama, but no one seems to talk about it.
moistcritical hurts me. You were the hero of youtube- quite literally untouchable. And when everyone needed you to speak, you hid. how could you hide now? its just a bit sad.
“When the world needed him the most, he vanished” same bro I respect penguinz0 so much, like he was my favorite honestly. It’s very disappointing to see, if anyone could heavily impact mrbeast it’s moistcritical so many other scumy content creators could’ve gotten away with what they did if it wasn’t for Charles. That’s why it’s such a problem that he’s silent
You are having a tantrum over something you aren't owed in the first place, as well AS CONSTANTLY BEING FED THAT THING BY OTHER PEOPLE. NO ONE ON TH-cam DOESN'T KNOW THIS. And he does not owe you guys SHIT!!
It's very sad... it doesn't make sense to say nothing, even Ludwig did it. Charlie was always aggressively loud attacking anyone speaking out against Mr. Beast. He either is embarrassed now and doesn't have courage to speak out, or is afraid of jimmy, or worse and is still a defender... i found a funny video today from Branimate, with a caricature of Charlie :P
Nobody can bring down Mr. Beast, especially other TH-camrs. Mr. Beast is the face of TH-cam, and can be considered TH-cam. Mr. Beast single handily brings in more views and revenue to TH-cam than the top 10 TH-camr channels combined. At the end of the day in business it comes down to the “bottom line”, TH-cam will always back their biggest creators.
Genuinely one of the best video essays ive ever watched on this platform This is exactly why a lot of the people im subbed to are smaller channels like yours, who actually care about what they talk about and are genuinely passionate about YT. I have a cousin who literally *only* watches inauthentic slop like MrBeast and even LankyBox, and I honestly feel bad for him. He's only like 5 and all i see him watch are glorified advertisements only meant to keep your attention for as long as possible (and you cant even set a watch time limit on TH-cam TV, which is really stupid)
Am I dreaming? Calling out the Mrbeast/MoistCritical thing... bashing the stupid ass commentary channels like Pegasus... I have been so annoyed about this stuff for awhile. Thank you EntLaiser.
Exactly. Moistcritical's case is just sad... i found a funny video that I wish had more views, from Branimate. I don't understand why people are talking more about this, because Charlie continues to post about drama.
At least Pegasus aware, plus he remind us he's just reporter that report what he got from Dogpack and other allegations to send light about those information.
Thanks for calling out MoistCr1tikal! He used to be one of my favorite commentary channels, but I haven’t been watching him as much because it doesn’t feel like he’s being genuine. I know he wants to talk about things he likes but it’s shitty to not talk about how maybe you were wrong about MrBeast. He was (and probably still is) Jimmy’s biggest defender.
He doesn't wanna talk about drama. *Looks at his channel.* Yep. He doesn't wanna talk about Mr Beast Drama. The Internet may forgive but never forgets.
One thing about charlie is that he hates being called wrong on anything. Just look into Rust OTV shenanigans where he used excuses and detaching himself from all causality when he wrongfully insinuated someone being an asshole. Even his own viewers called it out on him because the person got sent death threats (a good number came from moist's own fanbase iirc). He already fell off for me some years ago and now he's drifting off.
There are so many unpopular opinions in this video that I was thinking for so long 1. MoistCritical literally not saying a word about this. Absolutely insane. 'im done with drama videos" Yet thats all he makes, reddit, youtube, etc. Like to this day he hasnt stopped with them, hes just trying to avoid the MrBeast drama 2. Ryan Trahan being unauthentic. I liked his older videos, but he quickly got way more fake. All of his shots where he acts like its his first time seeing it, I always know he first set up the camera, then faked it completely. Its disappointing. 3. MatPat feastables video where they just brush it off at the end.... I dont think I need to explain this. I was just surprised he brushed it off.
I mean man, at the time of the whole feastables video of MatPat at the time MrBeast was still the supposed golden boy of the internet, or literal living saint considered by most people…
Creating ideals prescribes not being able to reach that ideal, but continue trying. Reaching it means the death of creativity. The formula is revealed, there is no suspence, no competition, no actual motivation to explore the ideal or even try
It's sad that I look up to Mr Beast when he helps the kids in Africa but it turns out that video was fake. Mr Beast reuse the same water containers. That fake smile of Jimmy has really shown his face.
I find the irony so hilarious that the common sentiment when MrBeast became the most subscribed channel is that he “avenged pewdiepie” but now that all this stuff’s coming about how jimmy runs the channel it’s clear that he is just another t-series
When you go from a simple TH-camr to corporate? It's usually 50/50 on the outcome. You either, see the channel thrive and become successful as a business, or expect an exposé on shady business practices and money greed. With a side of corporate jargon downplaying and lawsuits. What a time to be in my 20s. 🤣🤣 It has become a "pick your poison" time on TH-cam in my opinion. Everyone wants that bag and they will throw all moral/ethical judgement out the window to get it. Great video by the way! Subscribed. 💗
Bro seems to forget that in the 2010s every channel was a pewdipie clone. Personally I think the site went downhill the moment youtube gave people money for popular videos.
Good video overall. Though your whole rant a lot Pegasus made no sense. Just because he is talking a lot about a situation means they are making low effort/meaningless videos. Pegasus’s videos are a good summary of the whole situation which is why they went viral and since people were interested he continued to talk about it. The news literally does the same thing when the Trump shooting happened news studio made multiple videos about the situation does it make it low effort? Well not all of them. Many were giving information that the people wanted to get. An artist or documentary creator could call your video low effort does it make it meaningless no because you are giving us the viewers an interesting take that we are interested of hearing. It is the same as Pegasus. He is giving his audience information they want to hear. It’s OK if you don’t like Pegasus, but your argument about him being meaningless was kind of stupid. It makes me feel that you just saw the thumbnails and thought all the video were bad. Also he can choose to read tweets if he wants to. Some viewers love that. Not everything need to have a “point” to make it meaningful to people. Some people might love a less organized type of video that has more human thoughts and feeling. Not everything needs to be like Sunnyv2, Internet Anarchist, or your style (though their video are great). Also Moist Critikal does not have to make a video. If you friend does something bad you might not want to publicly bash them but rather talk about it privately. If he made a video, it might have some biases which would make people hate it so he might not choose to make a video. At the end of the days he is a general commentary not really a drama channel. He has the right to make any video he pleases. Despite this the video was good.
yeah no I don't like Charlie at all so I think that was deserved; but inasuch as Pegasus is kinda milking it, the videos definitely aren't bad just because they have no editing, or are just him reading off tweets; people like me who don't have twitter and refuse to get it get quite a bit of value from channels just explaining what is even happening on that hellhole of a site. That being said he really could cool off with all the videos because it seems essentially like it goes over the smallest developments that could have very easily been a 5 minute video at max instead of 15 minutes
15:16 that tweet was made prior to the allegations and he was still known as a philanthropist, but even without the allegations, he still wouldn't be fit for presidency
To touch on the last thing you said before the end of the video. I have to go to a search engine outside of TH-cam to find what I want anymore. TH-cam has never been better, absolutely not
For myself when it comes to uploading I just livestream the challenge runs I do to have a record of them. Do I expect to become a big youtuber? No as being even a small youtuber requires an astronomical amount of luck. Ultimately I'm just livestreaming it cause I'd be doing the challenge run anyway. Why not let other people see them if they find my channel
That’s the same philosophy I run my channel on. I like making no damage challenge content. I’m not in it for the money, I’m in it for the fun and passion. Money should never be the main focus. That’s what a job is for. Though being able to make a little bit of money on the side doing what you love is nice. Obviously not the main focus, but a nice little bonus nonetheless.
something that really soured my image of charlie was actually ludwig's mogul mail on the mrbeast situation. ludwig had that dogshit stream "addressing" the drama and it was clear that he wasn't giving too much of a shit and was just stalling in hopes of not dealing with a massive drama like this. his proper response to everything in his mogul mail is exactly the kind of honesty that commentary youtubers that is uniquely close to mrbeast (in this case charlie and ludwig) should be showing.
What i feel like ppl forget is that most people talking about the drama are just gonna forget about. The most degenerate TH-camrs couldve just forget about it and still be succesfull
Pretty excellently made video! Tho for Pegasus, I'd recommend watching his video where he responds to his criticism. As it seems, his thumbnails are only really boring and generic because he uses the ABC testing feature on youtube. And the generic thumbnails are the ones that ended up getting the most clicks. And only made new videos when he found out something new about the topic of Mr. Beast, doing some coverage of the topic whenever something comes along.
I’m gonna say it. TH-cam has never been a good platform. Before you witch hunt me, let me explain. Sure, MrBeast wasn’t as big as he was, people weren’t being in drama as much and TH-cam didn’t feel corporate, but there was still some bad stuff happening. Like for example, Leafyishere still had a platform at this time and people who were fans of him did massive hate brigades and bigotry on anyone or anything that their Leafy god deemed as cringe and the victims of his bullying ranged from children to people with disabilities to everyone in between. There was also people who still remembered Chris Chan existed and that guy’s a walking rabbit hole who just so happened to be a Sonic fan which caused people to associate every sonic fan with Chris Chan and other infamous individuals who were Sonic fans. I could go into more but I don’t want to make more people upset than I probably already did.
TH-cam has always had it's problems the difference is that it keeps getting more and more corporate every year and makes out of touch decisions like removing the dislike count
Sonic fans had a reputation for being weird degen's way before Chris Chan came along and it was never an inaccurate perception. Lots of overlap with the furry fandom.
That’s sorta why I prefer faceless channels or channels that use a avatar to display themselves it feels more authentic as it feels more like a true version of themself
Eventually mr beast will hit a peak and when that happens he can only go downhill from there and there won’t be a resurgence. He will reap what he has sow for everything he done and will do. All it takes is patience through time.
I have always hated me breast. and I was right about him in every way. we have gotten channels like mr beast before but everyone never learns the lesson.

i think anyone who's channel is based around giving their opinion should try to see the big picture like you did here
Sometimes giving the opinion is safer. Because then you are less likely to get sued for dumb shit.
he did not really see the big picture though. he has great points, and overall, I agree with the video, but if you sht on one, then you have to be critical on the other too. Jaiden said quite a few bad things as well in podcasts, I literally turned away from watching the content. EVERY youtuber who blew up has something to hide and I think it's not an overexageration.
heres the thing commentary should be community news/history on topics and communities your interested in not just a quick buck or exposing someone. those are exposasitsts

I like the TH-camrs that make videos after work or on weekends that just do it coz it’s fun to do and rewarding to have a discussion, not a big fan of YELLING 24/7 AND BEING HIGH ENERGY ALL THE TIME
That shit is so annoying and obviously fake. Like no one can be that high energy all the time, it’s just not natural.

It's truly a shame to see TH-cam being taken away from it's figureheads, the TH-camrs, and given to soulless corporations.
That's why I'm actually watching a lot less TH-cam.
Well its only you you can also just watch youtubers with just 100 subs i think youtube is only good if you follow more small content creators
I am becoming less interested in watching youtube because of infuriating Safetyist 4kidz Tv type censorship.
The recommened tab is GOOD? Damn, I must be living on a different planet
I think the biggest problem is that the pull towards the largest creators isn't their unique personality, it is their content.
It’s the very reason why TH-cam feels like another playground for the rich and powerful
Today I got an unskippable MrBeast toy ad. TH-cam is so desperate to make people like this guy.
What would you say if TH-cam began banning people who showed even a little bit of criticism towards MrBeast?
@imtyler99yearsago90 That TH-cam is in the wrong. I don't care if someone likes or hates Jimmy. I just have a problem with the actual corporation trying to manipulate people into liking him. It's clear favouritism.
i would love to say that this video is actually super eye-opening.. Genuinely all my for you page rn is drama, commentary, food videos etc. Because these thumbnails and titles are so intriguing and it's purposely made that way. I opened TH-cam with no account on a different device and it all had my interest. Art, diy, music, thrifting, alternative history and fashion!!! All made my TH-camrs who aren't as popular as people who sit in front of a camera and talk about drama and controversies. Ty for making this! I will seek these people
im also seriously unsubbing from these big channels
“Recommended” page, not “fyp” lol it’s not tiktok
@@creatrixZBDeveryone starting to talk like that, I just adopted the phrase too at this point 😂
I often think how 15 years ago we were saying "So good, TH-cam is going to replace TV!" but now it seems YT did'nt replace it but became the TV, with all its flaws.
i miss the old youtube...
As do I. 😔
Don't we all...
straight from the go youtube…
It's nice to see someone who actually poses genuine criticism with optimism rather than just saying: "Money's bad!".
I've thought the same thing, there is definitely a difference between a youtuber and a content creator. Good vid.
You may be on to something when you talk about how caapitalism as affected art, and how its made
Capitalism is dead. What we have now is a husk of a system that calls itself capitalism.
I think the issue is more a general issue with Neoliberalism. Nobody has a sence of morality, nobody has any commitment to anything besides money. Look at the government. Every figure in the government is corrupt because they decided to put monetary gain infront of there sence of duty for there nation.

You act like critikal ever has anything important to say lmao he’s the ultimate fence rider. Not to say it’s a bad thing but Charlie would just say “so yeah if Jimmy is doing this it’s pretty bad but we won’t know until he gives his side. That’s about it. See ya”
I'd say being a fence rider is a bad thing when it's pretty clear as day that Jimmy knowingly employed predators and a convicted child molester.
I mean he's more of a report-rundown of a situation channel when he covers dramas. I dont think people watch for his opinion,not on dramas atleast since he plays games and talks about movies too. He's also not a member that knows the behind the scenes,there's nothing he can add.

Noone is immune to greed. That's the harsh Truth.
Sooner or later, you will chase the bag and leave tegridy behind.
True, but I think Mr.Beast (who began his career filming the homeless for clout) was always bad. I think some people aim for fame and power because they were bad people already. I think their lack of morals helps them get ahead in those power structures. Power doesn't always change, sometimes they were always bad.
@@lordfreerealestate8302He had the morals of a normal person. The development into what he is now was slow burning over his obsession to be perfect
I think it really depends on a person and their moral code and if you betray your morals for becoming a brand and leaving your integrity behind then you never had a moral code anyway.
I digress, I think it’s possible to avoid this. Just like when I’m more productive if I put down my phone, I could create content based on community and passion if I stop looking at the stats.
@@lordfreerealestate8302 reminds me of a saying introduced by one entertainment analysis youtuber, “power and wealth do not corrupt a man, they reveal his true nature.”
It’s amazing how long it took for people to realize how exploitative his content was
Fr the signs were there right in our faces all along.
Honestly, I would argue that TH-cam was better back then. Policies like removing dislikes just kept making the platform objectively worse.
the problem with mr beast is that, he crossed that threshold where he stops being human and becomes a _concept_ , like pepe the frog or sum
“You were the chosen one! You were supposed to destroy the corporate institution, not join it!!!”
"Bring balance to TH-cam! Not leave it in darkness!"
What started off as and should’ve remained something to be viewed fun, entertaining, unique, and enjoyable, has now become all about glory , prestige, and fame (RIP Mr. Beast 2018-2022)
thank you for bringing up ryan trayhan and how he feels like he’s lab grown, i feel like i’ve been alone in that belief for a while
Thanks for this good video. I especially appreciate your Penguin0 call-out, and more importantly - pointing out how TH-camrs becoming brands often makes them more shallow, especially with you also using Odds1out as an example
You couldn’t of said it better. It’s dystopian.

you can sell way more units if you sell chocolate or gummies than if you sell a t-shirt.
The average customer would only like a few shirts in a year (or more) but they’d likely buy way more food products or other consumables (since they’re consumables)
The “healthy” marketing is just so parents are less hesitant to buy it for their screaming children
I really like how you brought up that Penguinz0 hasn't brought up the controversy yet. And I'd like to bring up that AMP, one of the biggest twitch/youtube groups made a whole video WITH Mr Beast, and I'm positive they deleted comment's talking about the whole drama, but no one seems to talk about it.
moistcritical hurts me. You were the hero of youtube- quite literally untouchable. And when everyone needed you to speak, you hid. how could you hide now?
its just a bit sad.
“When the world needed him the most, he vanished” same bro I respect penguinz0 so much, like he was my favorite honestly. It’s very disappointing to see, if anyone could heavily impact mrbeast it’s moistcritical so many other scumy content creators could’ve gotten away with what they did if it wasn’t for Charles. That’s why it’s such a problem that he’s silent
Literally every-other-fucking-human being with internet is making videos on it.
You are having a tantrum over something you aren't owed in the first place, as well AS CONSTANTLY BEING FED THAT THING BY OTHER PEOPLE.
NO ONE ON TH-cam DOESN'T KNOW THIS. And he does not owe you guys SHIT!!
It's very sad... it doesn't make sense to say nothing, even Ludwig did it. Charlie was always aggressively loud attacking anyone speaking out against Mr. Beast. He either is embarrassed now and doesn't have courage to speak out, or is afraid of jimmy, or worse and is still a defender...
i found a funny video today from Branimate, with a caricature of Charlie :P
I am so glad somebody finally called Pegasus out, the amount of vids he pumped out of this topic is absolutely diablolical😭
But he just reports updates on the situation.
Mr Beast is still growing, his drop in views is just normal part of TH-cam views. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down.
Nobody can bring down Mr. Beast, especially other TH-camrs. Mr. Beast is the face of TH-cam, and can be considered TH-cam. Mr. Beast single handily brings in more views and revenue to TH-cam than the top 10 TH-camr channels combined. At the end of the day in business it comes down to the “bottom line”, TH-cam will always back their biggest creators.
Genuinely one of the best video essays ive ever watched on this platform
This is exactly why a lot of the people im subbed to are smaller channels like yours, who actually care about what they talk about and are genuinely passionate about YT. I have a cousin who literally *only* watches inauthentic slop like MrBeast and even LankyBox, and I honestly feel bad for him. He's only like 5 and all i see him watch are glorified advertisements only meant to keep your attention for as long as possible (and you cant even set a watch time limit on TH-cam TV, which is really stupid)
Am I dreaming? Calling out the Mrbeast/MoistCritical thing... bashing the stupid ass commentary channels like Pegasus... I have been so annoyed about this stuff for awhile. Thank you EntLaiser.
Cooool so intellectualll..
Exactly. Moistcritical's case is just sad... i found a funny video that I wish had more views, from Branimate. I don't understand why people are talking more about this, because Charlie continues to post about drama.
@@stupidmangoz i am?
At least Pegasus aware, plus he remind us he's just reporter that report what he got from Dogpack and other allegations to send light about those information.
Thanks for the Branimate video recommendation, it's not bad
Wonderful research and video 🙌🏻. We need more creators like you!
Thanks for calling out MoistCr1tikal! He used to be one of my favorite commentary channels, but I haven’t been watching him as much because it doesn’t feel like he’s being genuine. I know he wants to talk about things he likes but it’s shitty to not talk about how maybe you were wrong about MrBeast. He was (and probably still is) Jimmy’s biggest defender.
He doesn't wanna talk about drama.
*Looks at his channel.*
Yep. He doesn't wanna talk about Mr Beast Drama.
The Internet may forgive but never forgets.
@@Phantom_Zone fr he’s talking about other drama again but he won’t talk about MrBeast
One thing about charlie is that he hates being called wrong on anything. Just look into Rust OTV shenanigans where he used excuses and detaching himself from all causality when he wrongfully insinuated someone being an asshole. Even his own viewers called it out on him because the person got sent death threats (a good number came from moist's own fanbase iirc). He already fell off for me some years ago and now he's drifting off.

"Mr beast situation is crazy"
There are so many unpopular opinions in this video that I was thinking for so long
1. MoistCritical literally not saying a word about this. Absolutely insane. 'im done with drama videos" Yet thats all he makes, reddit, youtube, etc. Like to this day he hasnt stopped with them, hes just trying to avoid the MrBeast drama
2. Ryan Trahan being unauthentic. I liked his older videos, but he quickly got way more fake. All of his shots where he acts like its his first time seeing it, I always know he first set up the camera, then faked it completely. Its disappointing.
3. MatPat feastables video where they just brush it off at the end.... I dont think I need to explain this. I was just surprised he brushed it off.
I don't watch ryan trahan but I agree with the 1st and 3rd
I mean man, at the time of the whole feastables video of MatPat at the time MrBeast was still the supposed golden boy of the internet, or literal living saint considered by most people…
Pushing for the algorithm dude
Mrbeast, KSI, and Logan Paul are the biggest ever problems on TH-cam
Fun fact: jaiden animations actually talked about the drama in the comments
one day our presidential candidates will be the hawk tuah girl and mr beast
this is one of the best videos on the big youtube scene imo
Good video man, I like the editing along with the message of that TH-camrs feel like brand
If Mr. Beast’s creepy fake smile wasn’t enough to tip you off to his true nature, you don’t pay enough attention.
This comment is aimed at 98% of all youtubers
Its not the smile, its the eyes man
I miss old TH-cam tbh. When everything was more personal
True. Now theres a set way to get viral which just gets me so tired. I keep watching content thats the same over and over again.
Phenomenal vid, maybe the best one on this topic. I have a lot to say but I’ll leave it as “thanks”. Liked and subbed and etc.
Those new toys aren't even original. That's the Trash Pack
Creating ideals prescribes not being able to reach that ideal, but continue trying. Reaching it means the death of creativity. The formula is revealed, there is no suspence, no competition, no actual motivation to explore the ideal or even try
It's sad that I look up to Mr Beast when he helps the kids in Africa but it turns out that video was fake. Mr Beast reuse the same water containers. That fake smile of Jimmy has really shown his face.
I find the irony so hilarious that the common sentiment when MrBeast became the most subscribed channel is that he “avenged pewdiepie” but now that all this stuff’s coming about how jimmy runs the channel it’s clear that he is just another t-series
When you go from a simple TH-camr to corporate? It's usually 50/50 on the outcome. You either, see the channel thrive and become successful as a business, or expect an exposé on shady business practices and money greed. With a side of corporate jargon downplaying and lawsuits. What a time to be in my 20s. 🤣🤣
It has become a "pick your poison" time on TH-cam in my opinion. Everyone wants that bag and they will throw all moral/ethical judgement out the window to get it.
Great video by the way! Subscribed. 💗
Bro seems to forget that in the 2010s every channel was a pewdipie clone. Personally I think the site went downhill the moment youtube gave people money for popular videos.
what an excellent, high-quality and quite honestly eye-opening video, congratulations!
Good video overall.
Though your whole rant a lot Pegasus made no sense. Just because he is talking a lot about a situation means they are making low effort/meaningless videos. Pegasus’s videos are a good summary of the whole situation which is why they went viral and since people were interested he continued to talk about it. The news literally does the same thing when the Trump shooting happened news studio made multiple videos about the situation does it make it low effort? Well not all of them. Many were giving information that the people wanted to get. An artist or documentary creator could call your video low effort does it make it meaningless no because you are giving us the viewers an interesting take that we are interested of hearing. It is the same as Pegasus. He is giving his audience information they want to hear. It’s OK if you don’t like Pegasus, but your argument about him being meaningless was kind of stupid. It makes me feel that you just saw the thumbnails and thought all the video were bad. Also he can choose to read tweets if he wants to. Some viewers love that. Not everything need to have a “point” to make it meaningful to people. Some people might love a less organized type of video that has more human thoughts and feeling. Not everything needs to be like Sunnyv2, Internet Anarchist, or your style (though their video are great).
Also Moist Critikal does not have to make a video. If you friend does something bad you might not want to publicly bash them but rather talk about it privately. If he made a video, it might have some biases which would make people hate it so he might not choose to make a video. At the end of the days he is a general commentary not really a drama channel. He has the right to make any video he pleases.
Despite this the video was good.
I completely agree! I have seen a lot of commentary channels and his is not bad.
Agreed
agreed. the bashing of charlie and pegasus kinda pissed me off
yeah no I don't like Charlie at all so I think that was deserved; but inasuch as Pegasus is kinda milking it, the videos definitely aren't bad just because they have no editing, or are just him reading off tweets; people like me who don't have twitter and refuse to get it get quite a bit of value from channels just explaining what is even happening on that hellhole of a site. That being said he really could cool off with all the videos because it seems essentially like it goes over the smallest developments that could have very easily been a 5 minute video at max instead of 15 minutes
I scrolled too far to find this comment, was looking for it
But yeah, otherwise, I would definitely recommend you guys watch Pegasus’ response
This was very passionate and well-made. Excellent video.
All I can say is scary times ahead...
Unless you know Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, I have one quote in mind, the intuitive thought by the protagonist, “Greediness is bullshit.”
15:16 that tweet was made prior to the allegations and he was still known as a philanthropist, but even without the allegations, he still wouldn't be fit for presidency
What an genuinely excellent video. Keep up the great work
To touch on the last thing you said before the end of the video. I have to go to a search engine outside of TH-cam to find what I want anymore. TH-cam has never been better, absolutely not
I fu3king hate everything , all things turn to crap
14:26 people used to say the same thing about Diddy, and look what happened to him; the bigger they are, the HARDER they fall!
thanks for taking a step back for taking a look at the bigger picture. surely it wasn't just jimmy, but rather the entire company mr. beast.
Well the philanthropy shield is gone
For myself when it comes to uploading I just livestream the challenge runs I do to have a record of them. Do I expect to become a big youtuber? No as being even a small youtuber requires an astronomical amount of luck.
Ultimately I'm just livestreaming it cause I'd be doing the challenge run anyway. Why not let other people see them if they find my channel
That’s the same philosophy I run my channel on. I like making no damage challenge content. I’m not in it for the money, I’m in it for the fun and passion. Money should never be the main focus. That’s what a job is for. Though being able to make a little bit of money on the side doing what you love is nice. Obviously not the main focus, but a nice little bonus nonetheless.
something that really soured my image of charlie was actually ludwig's mogul mail on the mrbeast situation.
ludwig had that dogshit stream "addressing" the drama and it was clear that he wasn't giving too much of a shit and was just stalling in hopes of not dealing with a massive drama like this. his proper response to everything in his mogul mail is exactly the kind of honesty that commentary youtubers that is uniquely close to mrbeast (in this case charlie and ludwig) should be showing.
What i feel like ppl forget is that most people talking about the drama are just gonna forget about. The most degenerate TH-camrs couldve just forget about it and still be succesfull
Pretty excellently made video! Tho for Pegasus, I'd recommend watching his video where he responds to his criticism. As it seems, his thumbnails are only really boring and generic because he uses the ABC testing feature on youtube. And the generic thumbnails are the ones that ended up getting the most clicks. And only made new videos when he found out something new about the topic of Mr. Beast, doing some coverage of the topic whenever something comes along.
I doubt he had to make the "new information" 20 minutes long though
@@MyUsersDark Fair enough.
PLEASE get this in the algorithm youtube
please keep posting
I’m gonna say it.
TH-cam has never been a good platform. Before you witch hunt me, let me explain.
Sure, MrBeast wasn’t as big as he was, people weren’t being in drama as much and TH-cam didn’t feel corporate, but there was still some bad stuff happening. Like for example, Leafyishere still had a platform at this time and people who were fans of him did massive hate brigades and bigotry on anyone or anything that their Leafy god deemed as cringe and the victims of his bullying ranged from children to people with disabilities to everyone in between. There was also people who still remembered Chris Chan existed and that guy’s a walking rabbit hole who just so happened to be a Sonic fan which caused people to associate every sonic fan with Chris Chan and other infamous individuals who were Sonic fans. I could go into more but I don’t want to make more people upset than I probably already did.
TH-cam has always had it's problems the difference is that it keeps getting more and more corporate every year and makes out of touch decisions like removing the dislike count
@@Vijai_Ruva You make some good points, but the problems I listed shouldn’t be forgotten. However I won’t yell at you for saying these things.
Sonic fans had a reputation for being weird degen's way before Chris Chan came along and it was never an inaccurate perception. Lots of overlap with the furry fandom.

Eventually mr beast will hit a peak and when that happens he can only go downhill from there and there won’t be a resurgence. He will reap what he has sow for everything he done and will do. All it takes is patience through time.
With the issues and lawsuit involving him and Amazon (Beast Games), he might just have reached that point...
