PLEASE do a video about the ironically named channel "Healthy Family Force?"
I have come across them a couple times and am concerned, confused, and not sure how they are able to use family members with severe mental illness to beg for money to eat - while they livestream cooking meals in their bathroom - as opposed to working jobs. It's a bit disturbing.
I find these game shows based on Squid Game so insanely ironic.
Every single one turns into a giant human rights violation. It's almost as if the point of the show was to say that the Squid Games as a concept is immoral
@@popshoppacks exactly
Yeah way to miss the entire message of the series lol
especially when it's a rich willy wonka type wack job running the game show.
i totally agree, like theyre making it seem like the squid games was just a game show with life-changing money on the line, completely forgetting the fact that it's a commentary on how people will do just about anything to survive. extremely ironic
It's crazy how "Squid Game" highlights the impact of capitalism, forcing individuals into a perilous and inhumane game to sustain the same system and somehow Mr. Beast thought it was a great fun idea.
THIS!! how ironic
Mr beast the first time he watched squid game: 🤑
HE IS THE SYSTEM
It's the tweet that goes "Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus"
And generally, nobody said shit. “He’s still a good guy look at how he helps the poor” yeah shit like this is why he did that. So he can point to it and be like “uwu I’m just a little guy and it’s my birthday! I helped people because I’m good! Anyway gimme reward me praise me pay attention to me pay me”
Also, revolted trans noises of “oh, so the trans person he was idolized for protecting had ALWAYS for YEARS of them knowing each other had fucking pdf commission art up on her wall, including while she had a wife and child. How he protected and platformed a predator, and she happened to come out, and he happened to do the bare fucking minimum of not condemning her to death for her gender. Wow. Omggg what an icon yass kween stan. The friend you knew for years was chummy with one of the internet’s most famous pdf files, who is and was an active danger to children, has a gender and you didn’t dehumanize her about it? You saint. Wow what an ally. She definitely deserves special protection even more now. You hid her crimes Jimmy. You use the marginalized and the dehumanization of others to conceal the atrocities you condone and create to make yourself look philanthropic. You were starving people under NDA. We *_cannot cheer when billionaires “save us.” They are not our friends._*
The TH-camr Kavernacle has been talking about Mr Beast’s shitty business practices for YEARS and nobody believed him. History absolved him
THIS! There have been people that have been calling out his unethical behavior and practices for YEARS but the general public never took it seriously. It sucks because the public’s inaction to hold him and his company accountable for his actions just enabled him and other problematic creators to continue doing this and more.
i subbed to him like over 3 years ago because of those videos 😭 hardly anyone called out mr beast back then and i just knew it's all too good to be true
It's a big reason I followed him initially
@@migoreng7789I hate how he seems to be immune to criticism. For example, whenever other TH-camrs talked about the "Mr Beastification" of TH-cam, they always said something like "Mr Beast seems like a cool guy" or "I have no problem with the guy" etc. Kavernacle is a breath of fresh air.
@@KalitayyThe Mr Beastification of TH-cam isn’t a big deal though. And that’s not his fault people imitate his content terribly. However there ARE actual criticisms such as ones that have came out recently which are fair. But yeah Jimmy has done more good for people than me or you or anyone who reads this ever will combined. That’s why he escapes criticism
When Mr. Beast did his original squid games parody I remember making a tweet about how it feels dystopian & normalizing the exploitation of people for "content" was a slippery slope, & I was met with alot of people arguing that "he does so much good with his platform though!"
But THIS is what happens when that kind of "content creation" goes unchecked. & with the economy how it is, I'm not surprised people may have been willing to take a grand or two in hush money. Its dangerous, exploitative, & no amount of "good" this man has done makes up for the way he plays god & uses actual real life human people like fucking expendable sims in a ladderless swimming pool.
I remember that time, had tons of people excusing it because he did charity stuff and even denied that it wasn't exactly charity when he literally benefits from it financially and pr wise.
I always felt like he was playing God,which is not a good thing.
@@saneZ45 that's exactly what he does, dangles the promise of life changing money over people in order to make them dance for him
people often do nice acts to hide the hideous acts they do behind the scenes
The part about contestants hoarding feastables bars feels particularly like a dystopian fantasy.
Sb having to wear a pad for 2 DAYS is absolutely horrendous and just crime against women. That's all I wanted to say. Despicable in the worst way possible. Really shows why the Beast crew didn't start with any women in it. It's not just sexism it's actual abuse and risking sb's health. Knew Beast wasn't the nicest guy but that's just fucked up
YES! This, 1000%!! It’s so unhygienic/potentially dangerous and uncomfortable :-(. Their treatment of women is so disgusting.
@@nova4476 For me the worst thing, is that he just REMOVED the women that passed away!!!! He dont even talk about it, he just removed them to record the show.I incredible how he dont even care.
Sorry, but what "SB" stands for? My English isn't good :(
@@takesometacos I think it stands for "somebody." Idk though sorry
@@ThebensterBV oh, ok! Thank uuu
Did Mr. Beast / the production company not have any health and safety personnel working on this show? They would've immediately told them 2 ambulances for 2000 people is not meeting the OSHA regulations. I see a huge lawsuit and possible violations coming their way.
if he made sure to hire non-union labor then i bet he also is lawyered up enough to cover up his ass :(
@@migoreng7789as soon as one thing in a contract is illegal, the contract becomes void and can not hold up
@@migoreng7789 you are clearly talking out of your ass
I believe kavernacle mentioned in his vid that someone mentions OSHA regulations and was essentially barked down they said safety came second pretty much
That would cost money, though! /s
that fake smile of his and him being an elon musk fanboy should have told you everything you need to know about mrbeast
And Logan
He's far from an "Elon Fanboy" he is an opportunist, he uses what he can to get engagement, at the time Elon bought Twitter so he knew he had to engage. Elon doesn't like him especially given the recent controversy with Tyson.
I never watched a Mr. Beast video simply because his smile on his thumbnails annoys the hell out of me, it feels so fake and conceited (this is from a person who cannot smile properly for photos and has to hear people tell me jokes to get a realistic smile). Thumbnails are already filled with over exaggerated expressions but Mr. Beasts smile annoys me the most. I had to hit, "don't recommend" because that smile was everywhere.
@@mikec2012gonna be funny when Elon deadnames or misgenders Ava Tyson... I doubt MrBeast will even speak up
@@Candytime9yes I second this so much. The fake over exaggerated smile annoys me and gives me weird vibes so much
the no food for diabetics is craaazy to me as a diabetic who deals with a lot of low blood sugars
Same here, I'm also a Type 1 diabetic (unfortunately). I'm disgusted and appalled with what MrBeast is doing, and it NEEDS to stop.
@@darla620 needs to be sued
RIGHT?! i have epilepsy so the withholding medications part really struck a nerve with me, as well.
That would be a violation of the ADA, and they could be sued for gross negligence considering those people had to turn over their insulin…two employees of the MrBeast production.
Honesty this makes me want to tear up, I feel so bad, I didn’t realize that lack of medications could have such adverse consequences 💔
I've been treated with more respect and dignity in a mental institution. This is just deplorable.
Mental institutions have duty of care, it would be weird, if you weren't
@@kikiTHEalien Then you'd be surprised at how inhumane they can get. Oftentimes people aren't treated as real people in those facilities. But who's going to believe the institutionalized "crazy" person?
@@kikiTHEalienwell yeah but mental institutions have an INSANE track record of being downright abusive or monsterous towards their patients, especially everything pre 80s or 70s. It isn't exactly as blatant in modern day but you'd be surprised lol
@@kikiTHEalien they fail to actually treat their patients like human beings. As someone who has been in them multiple times.
@@calthegreatest Yeah. I remember a while ago they fiered someone for hitting a patient where im from. Some of the staff is very unpleasent generally speaking, even more so with the voulnerable people.
The fact that Mr. Beast’s team/the production was offering people who got eliminated $1,000 on the grounds that they promise not to join any class action lawsuits against the production tells me everything I need to know. I know that for any type of show like this, there’s a danger of there being class action lawsuits, but the fact that the production are *anticipating* that there will be, treating it like it’s a FACT that there will be class action lawsuits against the production screams that they know exactly what they’re doing and don’t care. I just want to know where the $100,000,000 Jimmy got from Amazon to make this show went, cause it sure as hell didn’t go to things like buying food and water. I guess renting out hotel rooms in Las Vegas for 1,000+ people could get expensive, but, then, don’t cast so many people??? Everything about this production seems shockingly cheap, even down to them hiring non-union crew members, presumably so they don’t have to pay them union wages
Renting out rooms at the Rio is dirt cheap, not even taking into account the MASSIVE discounts they must’ve gotten (this happens all the time for conventions). Lodging was probably a v v minimal part of budget
I’m betting Amazon paid for those rooms, and that it didn’t come out of his earnings.
Squid games: showing how immoral the fight for money is a capatilist world is and how people will do anything for money they need no matter what background they are from and how the elites laugh and mock them
Mr beast: hey! Ive got a fun youtube video idea!
I do see where he did try to go to but it ultimately ended just being a competition for money… honestly could’ve just been a game show that’s squid game inspired and the participants just win a flat cash prize with new if and or buts. Could’ve been somewhat different and more game focused rather than money focused.
maybe you should learn to write coherent sentences
Movie: NEVER EVER BUILD THIS DEATH MACHINE
Mr.Beast: LETS BUILD THE DEATH MACHINE FROM NEVER EVER BUILD THIS DEATH MACHINE!
@@fransliszt maybe you should mind your business
@@Saturnm0ss Maybe you shouldn't write nonsensical bs on other people's TH-cam videos.
The contestants were incredibly dehumanized, starved and their medications and their UNDERWEAR was taken away. this should be grounds for human rights violation, right?
why would they take their underwear
@@obscuretrace Exactly. Why not just say all clothes? Why specifically underwear?
They can just leave at any point lol
@@CryptoLightskin Could they? Might some of them desperately needed the money? If they could, does it make it ok?
@@Claudius-s4c well thank god mr beast is giving them an opportunity to make 5 mil in 9 weeks if they need it that bad
Cutting corners for the record for prize money. Take 25% of that prize money and allocate it to event planning, security, food, and first aid. If you can’t handle a production of this scale don’t do it.
He's been getting away with this for years. Nothing he is doing now is new, the only difference is that he can't hide it anymore and there is enough people coming forward now to tell the truth about who he really is as a person and how he conducts business.
@@Christo_TrismegistusExactly. Cuz I ain’t ever heard of this stuff until right now.
I have a seizure disorder and denying someone their anticonvulsant medication is fucking cruel! There's withdrawals, the anxiety of the impending seizures, and getting back on the meds is hell. Fuck everyone involved with denying people their medications. Inhumane and cruel! I sincerely hope there are severe reprocussions for these actions!
i think it's weird that people run to defend Mr Beast because of his "philanthropy" as if that changes anything. wasn't there already a controversy like this a while ago where people participating in mr beast videos were mistreated? when are Mr Beast fans going to learn that nothing is black and white? sure he does create real material change for the better (for a very select few btw and compared to how much money he's actually making? anyway) but he ALSO is negligent and, i emphasize, DRIVEN BY PROFIT. he hired non union workers so he can save more money. he clearly doesn't care if people get sick or injured on his sets, because taking proper care of them will cost more than the $1000 hush money. don't defend him. don't say that it's not his fault. it's his show, with his name on it, and he needs to be responsible and accountable. he's proven that he's not.
With all due respect I'd like to quote a bible verse regarding MrBeast's 'philanthropy':
Matthews 6:1-2: Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the hypocrites do in the houese of worship and on the streets. They do it so thag people will praise them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full.
So even the New Testament says that what he's doing is wrong.
I started to notice a shift in his content after the pandemic but the most drastic shift has got to be around the time he hit 100 million. His content started to be more dystopian and showing people how far they can go with any stimulation which is very weird and they knew what they were doing is illegal so the asylum episode was Mr beast and not some stranger. And the fact that people defend him because of philanthropy is crazy to me because, good deeds are done for the help of it when no one is watching or aware. He is crazy rich so the money he gives away is nothing to him so the fact that people go crazy over that content and defend his actions bc of that is just horrible.
When it comes to his form if content it’s practically inevitable trying to avoid becoming something like that. Like he said himself, bigger and more grander the stunts the more money he rakes in and the cycle repeats.
Ngl now I kinda see it like the hunger games with the whole premise of the games.
You still think he does charity stuff out of good will? 😂😂
It’s all a show! He uses that to get people’s trust. He’s Satan himself!!!
@@resurrectedpaim not Christian but even in our book this exists.
Obviously this is extremely terrible, but there is something a bit funny about a contestant saying "I thought it was going to be like Squid Games, but turns out all the games were completely unfair and we were treated like animals :("
Everybody though they had the plot armor I guess😅.
I honestly think they were referring to the Squid games that mr beast hosted a while back where it seemed more wholesome, but that def caught my attention too😭
I don't think they watched squid game before do they even know what happens to the losers in that show?? They probably just watched the mr beast video of it
@@firechillbro720They explained what they meant tho the games in the show don't all require you to be athletic and fast meaning everyone had a chance to make it far ( or die) i don't know why everyone is acting brand new
Avocado Animations predicted evil MrBeast
The fact jimmy boi publicized this as “squid games on steroids”, that by itself said a lot. Over 1,000 people competing is unethical imo because game show mentality doesn’t warrant basic empathy and common sense, anyone with a human brain and human heart could’ve seen that
Yeah too many people and too big of a prize. It was inevitable that people started injuring others.
he always has to do things over the top. 2000ppl is crack math
I've hated the "beastification" of entertainment for years, hopefully people see why now
stupid people wont.
They will still worship him for no good reason.
It gives me the same vibe as 2017-2020 when people were constantly talking about "Shane Dawson style documentaries" 🙃
i started having icky feeling about this guy when he made that healing peoples blindness video. i’m not surprised he’s withdrawing medications from people he has a history of using disabled people for profit in his videos.
Yes, those sorts of videos were what turned me off from him (not that I watched much of his content to begin with). I saw suspicious seeming “curing” of people and the like, and caught the vibe that he probably prioritized content over if he actually helped people or misled his viewers.
@@Professor_Brieyea, I stopped watching when he’d offer someone who won thousands a double or nothing.
Like those thousands could go so far and help them so much, but who wouldn’t take a life changing amount of money over that.
It just felt like he was playing with people’s emotions, and a lot of people probably still think daily about what if they did or didn’t accept the offers.
Idk if I’m expressing myself well, I haven’t had a day off in 3 weeks and am slightly sleep deprived.
But I mean that it feels like a slightly more ethical saw/like he was playing God
MrBeast: *Helps people*
Elliottsalibi: "I'm feeling icky about this"
It sounds like oversights were definitely made when it comes to the Beast Games, but when it comes to his previous videos, you need to realize that EVERYTHING is a business. Hospitals make money from sick people, reshab makes money from disabled people. You can't expect MrBeast to NOT make any profit and simultaneously have money to help people. Call it "exploitation" if you want, I call it positive business.
Not to mention don’t think Mr Beast or his current team understand how important medication is, especially for certain disabilities that can kill you if left undiagnosed. I have schizophrenia, and if I weren’t given my medication, I probably go insane and hurt people around me in who knows what ways. It has happened before. I know people who were forced to withdraw from medications and have gotten seizures because of it. As I said , the problem is that the team doesn’t understand because they either are aren’t disabled or just don’t need medication for certain things 🤦♂️
@@asjonzy137How is giving life saving treatment to a person in need for money in return comparable to leaving 1,000 people in dangerous condition such as withdrawal of medication or barely any water/food. There wasn’t even any medical professionals on the site which is very dangerous. You clearly haven’t even read the Mr Beast allegations. He has literally groomed minors with Kris Tyson too. Do you not understand how serious this is, especially with a TH-camr with 3 mil? Anyways, most of his videos are rigged and all phony 🤦♂️
I feel like we really glossed over the "required to give several pairs of underwear which were not returned upon disqualification". Not only was this an abhorrent way to treat people u are hiring for a video, it may have presumably been a scheme to get underwear from women. Even if it turns out they were to just throw away the underwear they were given it's still highly questionable as an action to keep someone's underwear like that.
Wtf?...
Why would they do that if not for that reason, anyway...?
I think they were just incompetent. I would never hand over my medication. Its so scary to put someone else in control of that. I wonder what they did with it all.
That has to be the reason because there is not other reason besides that. Those people are sick. Hope everyone is doing alright now.
Exactly! Especially considering the fact that the Mr. Beast crew are majorly men and they're protecting one of their friends who was recently outed as a pr3dator (which makes me wonder whether they have more such people amongst them). I don't understand why they had to collect and keep the contestants' most intimate clothing item (and sanitary pads too).
@em84c personally I tend to stick by the opposite of the phrase "never attribute malice to what could be considered incompetence". Men in power tend to weaponize their own incompetence against other people IMO. Even if it is likely that they just didn't have systems in place to keep track of clothing and medicine then that goes to show they didn't have the empathy to consider that being a potential problem ahead of time. If I were to run the same gameshow, no one would be surrendering food, clothing, medication, or health products because it's an unnecessary step that just creates problems down the line for myself and the contestants. If I were to decide surrendering those things was necessary to the integrity of the show, I would have people tag and sort stuff to be easily accessible as well as not restrict access to those things at the contestant's request. Keep in mind that Amazon sent out a statement saying they were also "unprepared" for the situation. Amazon has too much money to be unprepared for any situation. Money solves every problem but incompetence and incompetence will always be malicious in the pursuit of profit over human life
Edit: and if this is a problem of the employees hired being overworked and unable to do the job needed, that's a problem with how Mr. Beast prioritized saving money over paying for union labor
Why are there so many rich people who watched squid game and thought “oh wow! That’s so cool! I should recreate it in real life! :)” like genuinely missing the entire fucking point so incredibly bad that in comparison my (awful) 3rd grade pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey game looks like sharpshooting 😭
how do they not see the irony. entire thing was a commentary on YOU! AND YOU’RE PROVING IT RIGHT TIME AND TIME AGAIN!😭
I don't understand why they took people's medication and undergarments. I can see having medical distribute medication if they had enough staff and a proper set up, but I can't imagine why they would need to dole out undergarments instead of letting people have free access to them. It's their personal belongings, why are they making a game show worse than jail?
And why undergarments specifically?
@@Claudius-s4cprobably because the clothes the contestants would be wearing would be the mr beast merch like the shirt that was shown
“Think Squid Games!” My brother, if I want to watch Squid Games, I’ll watch Squid Games. Stop letting that show control your whole brand.
Crazy how he's still running with it. I saw a clip of his recent video w youtubers and bro still doing the sugar cookie thing from squid games lol
A MrBeast/Amazon collab, what could go wrong? They both have such a positive history of treating people humanely. Oh wait…
holy shit, i was _just_ watching the "BeastGames keeps getting worse" video wondering what the hell i missed and when tf Rosanna Pansino linked up with MrBeast..
thank you for your service, Austin. 😭
She got into a controversy a few months back for criticizing him for a competition she was in, but got a lot of backlash about it, I guess this is her being vindicated, in the worst way possible
She previously called him out for rigging games in a sexist way when she worked with him. She was in a similar TH-cam production with him and would've placed 3rd in the contest, but he selectively edited the footage to make it look like Logan Paul placed ahead of her and Quackity (who wouldve gotten 3rd and 1st I think), another big TH-camr, because Logan is more famous and a man and men do better for the algorithm or his views idk. He also let a guy break the rules of the venue and win, so cheating was rewarded. At the time, she also got majorly attacked for it and told she was being dramatic when she was just pointing out that Mr. Beast lies and selectively edits things and is also unprofessional because he did not give her or others a heads-up about the edit.
She made a video about it at the time, but I think it's deleted. It was around the same time Jacksepticeye made a really anodyne critique of Mr. Beast, who then got all up in his feelings about it. Assuming she got these DMs because she spoke up about it in the past and he basically did the same thing on a bigger scale. Just wanted to emphasize the sexism angle here because I think that boys club vibe is relevant to some of his other current issues...
@@MarieLehleitner Yeah, I remember that a lot of the backlash seemed sexist to me, but I wondered if I was just overthinking things
i want irs to bust mr beast's ass like for real. he gotta be doing some heavy tax write offs cause 'it's all charity!' on top of the hardly legal gambling stuff he does on streams
Surprisingly as a formal Vegas local that worked in media. Vital Vegas is actually a pretty reliable site. They spill more accurate tea than anyone else in the Vegas media Sphere.
it’s infuriating that they didn’t account for biological advantages when it came to the fairness of the games. Those young men who were punching and tackling women and elderly people should be ashamed of themselves.
Yes, but also in these financial times the desperation to win must be huge.
wah wah
I understand the moral issue, but bro it's 5 million dollars. Of course you're gonna do whatever it takes
@@dannymatos9556 morals don’t all go out the window 😅 I personally wouldn’t be tackling an elderly person for 5 million.
I wouldn’t tackle an elderly person for 5 million, but if the women are my age…
This is what happens when you do something you have no idea how to do. Mr. Beast has to acknowledge his shortcomings and hire people who know what they're doing.
But he wants to prove a TH-camr can do it too 🙄
You do realize that he’s just a terrible person acting nice, right? It’s not just he doesn’t know how to do something, it’s the fact that he’s a scumbag and a fraud.
Too expensive
“Someone cosplaying as the Grim Reaper if he was into crypto and wearing boots with jeans” is the funniest description I’ve heard in ages
The whole 'Beast Games' disaster is nothing more than a mash-up of 'Jackass' meets 'Squid Game.' Amazon Prime is going to lose big time if they air this sadistic 'contest of torture', especially due to the number of serious injuries that landed many of the contestants in the emergency room. Denying the contestants food and water is just completely insane, but denying them their prescribed medications is criminal. Add to this the fact that these contests were designed to only favor young, athletic males, and it becomes an utter travesty of shame. No one should EVER air this complete fraud of a 'contest.'
People love watching train wrecks and disasters and Amazon has too much invested in him to not air his show. I hope Mr Beast loses the show but it's looking like the media and his corporate sponsors don't care about all the shady and bogus crap he has been doing for years. He has too many followers for him to be canceled and he has an army of lawyers and PR people scrubbing records, running damage control and trying to pay people off to save what little reputation he has left
Agree - and people are over rich people flaunting their wealth at the expense of the needy. No one wants to watch desperate people being tortured to try to get a life changing amount of money
If MrBeast couldn’t meet the logistics of managing 2,000 people, he should’ve reduced the number of contestants, but he didn’t. No one in these types of situations ever does the sensible thing.
Should have done what every competition show with a large contestant pool does and travel to different cities and have mass elimination rounds in those cities selecting only a handful of winners from each who will go on to travel to Vegas for the actual competition. They could pre screen the contestants and have the same selection process just have them travel to different cities closer to them vs all to Vegas just to be immediately eliminated and still have the burden of providing food and clothes for that many people. There should have only been like 50 people who actually made it to Vegas for filming that's a more manageable number and even then most would still be sent home in a day one mass elimination because the audience isn't going to engage with a show with too many contestants to get to know.
@vianjelos your idea sounds way better, picking winners from different states and then vegas being the final show
Just because someone cosplays as a philanthropist doesn't make them a good person. It doesn't mean they aren't exploitative. It doesn't mean they can't do more harm then good. In fact I'd argue the more public you make your good deeds the more likely you are NOT a good person. He's doing these good things to gain favor while raking in millions more than he donates.
I always found his overly dramatic and expensive competitions as really questionable. It really doesn't surprise me that he would watch the squid games and think, hmm I could do that. Not compete, but create the horribly exploitative and deadly competition. Good job Jimmy. Just wait till your defenders grow up and realize the truth. I hope we can all stop viewing his content as good.
Let this be a lesson that a lot of the time the person screaming their good deeds and raking in money are problematic.
I hope these people are all okay. I know I would have been one of the ones who went to the hospital. You take my meds and liquid IV and I need a real IV. This was so unbelievably dangerous. I hope they all get sued to hell and back.
People were so rude to Rosanna when she spoke out about being third place in competition but she was edited to look as though she wasn’t. People were so rude. Watch now. People reached out to her because she spoke out about unfairness. Nothing as bad as this crap but because she spoke out about something people made fun of her for people felt comfortable reaching out to her.
I can understand wanting them sequestered so you have the contestants stay in one place, but sleeping bags? Not letting them have their meds or just luggage in general and "dispensing" them out? Why? That's dumb af. If you are going to do that fine but then you HAVE to ensure that whoever is in charge of getting people their stuff is doing their job. That shit is dangerous.
What the fuck??? Not letting people have their meds is insane. There are some meds that if you don't take them every day can give you serious side effects. Not to mention some need those to stay alive.
Also, confiscating their underwear and sanitary pads/tampons. Why? I genuinely want to know.
i need legislation to be passed with limits on what prank/'social experiment' youtubers can do like mans is literally gonna recreate the stanford prison experiment if we dont stop him 🙄🙄
Im so confused who thought it was a good idea to take everyone’s things? Like they just created a fuck ton more work for themselves thinking they can organize and hand out medications and clothes when people could have just ben in charge of their own stuff 🤷🏻♀️ also Mr Beasts competitions are always so gross to me I’m not surprised at how people were acting, trampling over women and elderly because I’d guess a large portion of people there are drawn to the money and the money alone, greed can be a nasty thing.
Also taking people's underwear is not a good look, especially when one of your crew members recently got outed as a predator.
This is why we cant put rich ppl like this on too high a pedestal. Ppl have gotta hold Mr. Beast accountable for this shameful behavior.
If he wants to keep his persona of the "charismatic popular philanthropist entertainer" strong, then why is he not providing basic needs to the people hes gonna be making money from? Is he not literally a billionaire? I personally think the issue is literally that hes a billionaire, and thats why hes being so careless and cold, but thats just my opinion. Ultinately it IS his responsibility here and this is majorly disappointing (but not surprising).
the gag is he's not even that charismatic. i have no idea what's his appeal, he can't even smile like a normal person
What's frustrating is he can afford professional event coordinators and staff to make sure everything is seamless and safe. He chose to have that absurd number of contestants flown to Vegas. If you are going to have that many people competing and restricted to where they can go and what they can have on them and what they can eat(presumably for fairness of competition to know no one is cheating) then you need to make sure you can actually provide propper food, water accommodation and saftey for that many people. If you can't 100% gaurentee that then you need to lower the number of contestants to one you can manage.
I honestly think he was enjoying it a bit when he made his channel but in any company as it grows you get the taste of power and that it's addicting once you got a feel of it you want more power starting to look at others as just a source of profit nothing more than that you're not a living person in his eyes
@@vianjelosExactly!! He has the status & wealth to hire great production staff & coordinators! (Not that the current ones aren’t great it just sounds like there isn’t enough of them & they’re overworked). Hearing he purposefully sought out non unionized staff was appalling to me… He had them cover up with trash bags in the Vegas summer instead of buying them some plain shirts to change into wtf!? I live 5hours outside of Vegas & that’s awful! You can get heat stroke in regular clothes! Btw I loved your other comment about with so many contestants there needs to be eliminations & Vegas for finalists!
Withholding medication is fucking CRAZY, as an autistic person I would never give my meds up to strangers unless I knew they knew what they were doing (like the staff at a summer camp for disabled kids/adults that I went to as a kid). The fact they were asking you to is super suspicious.
with so many of these wonderful informational videos, the saying from Maya Angelou - "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" stands very true
i know it's getting passé to call multi-billionaires sociopaths, but like, it's pretty obvious that Mr. Beast does not see his "contestants" as actual human beings, right? i truly do not think he comprehends that the thousands of people in these games are actual people who have basic needs like food, water, somewhere decent to sleep, medications and health supplies, et cetera. it's like they're just NPCs to him to play around with.
Oh he comprehends, he just doesn't care.
If MrBeast as no hater, then i'm dead.
So happy to see all his bullshit crumble on him.
Mmmm, I smell a juicy lawsuit! And yea, another classic case of "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus".
Making people wear garbage bags over a uniform in Las Vegas in July is so incredibly irresponsible. Idgaf if it may have only been inside
I always got weird vibes from Mr Beast and felt he didn't actually care about people as much as he pretended to, only caring about pulling off bigger and bigger stunts to grow his brand. It was inevitable that he'd eventually try and pull something off that got people hurt in some way
If he was as altruistic as his videos make him seem then he wouldn't have tried something as obviously dangerous as "squid game but with 2000 people"
Jack films even said that they would just wait for hours before anything happened
That's prety normal, though
@kikiTHEalien not in a professional production. Actors or people in the production are paid while they wait and don't wait on set. That's what trailers are for and they can walk around and get drinks or food. Mr.beast just straight up makes them wait on set with nothing for hours. That's not normal
peak dystopia. amazing how well they replicate the original squid game (aside from there being a fairly even chance for older people or women to win). disgusting
Original squid games actually had some challenges that relied on precision or wit, but I doubt the producers were creative enough to make non-strength based challenges.
Amazon needs to stop the Beast Games or take it over.
I wish this would happen but Amazon has too much invested in him to stop the show now. Mr Beast been getting away with this for years and most likely will continue to do so. Mr Beast has too much influence and followers for anything drastic to happen to him
people could have died or faced permanent medical consequences from this and he's silent abt it. disappointed but not surprised.
Not enough food??!! I want to clarify that the claim is completely untrue. I worked in the food department on that show, and I can guarantee that there was more than enough food. We ended up throwing out a significant amount of food every day after everyone was fed. Mr. Beast provided ample food for his staff and employees, creating many job opportunities and fostering a positive work environment. The individuals involved should be grateful for the opportunities and experiences they were given this summer, instead of bitching. I had the best summer of my life thanks to MrBeast and Amazon Prime! I won't ever forget it.
Bot?
one of the most lowkey and nicest creators using her voice to take down a giant beast is definitely not on my bingo card this year. This anime series is getting good
So why did they even need to take the contestants underwear? Was it because they'd only be wearing the shows uniforms, so they separated the underwear since thats the only clothing luggage they would need??
It's Mr Beast satisfying his ego and letting all the contestants know that he controls every aspect of their life. When I was in the Army, they would do this to us to break us down mentally and physically to mold us into the brainwashed bots they wanted us to be. Mr Beast thrives and lives off of exploiting people and having control over everything no matter how wrong the situation. He has been able to hide behind his philanthropy shield for a long time and I truly hope this makes people realize that he is just another grifter fraud that only cares about making money at the expense of other people's dignity and lives.
Maybe. It's still hella weird though.
Rosannas videos have been taken down in multiple countries! Someone is trying to silence her!
Yep, Mr Beast treats people like cattle. Can't say im shocked.
This reminds me of when one of my favorite TH-camrs a few years ago talked about how she met MrBeast at VidCon and said she didn’t like him because with him, it was a ‘boys club’ and he only would talk to men. People attacked her when it turns out she was right all along :/
Rosanna was in drama with Mr. Beast before too
yep and the internet destroyed her, the overall consensus was that she was criticizing a charity event just get more clout. I pointed out in someone else's video at the time, that rossana is a household name in her niche and doesn't really get any clout out of this, got hateful replies for a week.
It's a shame how many people attacked her for being honest about her experience and I hope she gets her get back now
@@Christo_Trismegistus She's making videos about it now still but i think she's being shadow banned and her videos on tiktok are being banned
So he got $100 million dollars to make this show and only offered at most $2,000 dollars for any participants silence over all the illegal/inhumane activities they were subjected to? 0.002% is the highly insulting salt to the wound of all the physical harm and trauma caused at their expense to line his pockets. That's wild!
I'm not saying what the Beast Games did was right, but I WILL say do you have any idea how expensive it is to make a show? You might say $2000 is an insult, but when you realize there were 2000 contestants it changes the math a bit. The prize money by itself was worth 5% of the entire budget. The $2000 compensation would have equaled another 4% of the total budget. I feel like giving away almost 10% of your total budget to the contestants is not a good way to "line his own pockets" as you said. Just saying 😅
10:30 Being trampled is so scary wtf
I'm not experienced with seizures but in college I had a friend who took band with me who has epilepsy. He said that his medication, sleep, and food routines were really important, and messing up any of those cycles could potentially make his symptoms more unpredictable. If these folks were sleeping on a floor, had no access to medication, water and very little rest, I'm not surprised at all that there were medical consequences. The production should have at the very least vetted their contestants better and informed them of the specifics of the games. I'm sure they would've had far fewer participants and would've had to change the rules and guidelines.
Scott from Vital Vegas has a unique writing style. He writes in the third person even tho Vital Vegas is a one person show. He is a professional through and through. Mr Beast actually commented on the original article because he was so confused as to how Vital Vegas knew this was being filmed.
Because Scott is competent and Mr.Beast doesn't understand that concept.
posted 19 second ago, my thirst for drama is unquenchable
I never trust anybody who can't take criticism. I remembered how mr.beast responded to Jacksepticeye's critics.
The whole thing is a crapshow and what with all the 'other' Mr Boast and his 'Fiends' news, it isn't looking good.
Boast and Fiends lol nice one
Chandler, Nolan, and Tareq better leave before people start coming after them
@@dantdmfangamingrich9802 what abour karl
Signed up for Squid Games, got Hunger Games.
Mr. Beast and Logan Paul are two sides of the same coin.
Except one shows it and one hides it.....
This sounds like another McKamey Manor type of experience 😑🤦♀️ I sincerely hope the individuals that are affected get the best medical and psychological support they rightfully need minimally ❤️
I've never liked Mr. Beast, but I have always thought that he was AT LEAST doing some net good with his stuff.
And while MAYBE he is still helping more people in greater ways than he is hurting people...That kind of goes out the window when you KNOWINGLY, PERSONALLY perpetuate human suffering and then try to absolve it by throwing money at poor people.
Like, yes, I own a phone that probably was made with cobalt mined by child slaves. But I did not set up the system to be that way, nor did I have a choice to have an ethically sourced phone. I did not create the conditions such that these companies actively seek out impoverished children to exploit in the creation of an item basically demanded by the way the world functions now. I speak out against such practices and if I had the power, would punish companies engaging in such exploitation.
Mr. Beast is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for EVERYTHING people experience in his shows because he orchestrates all of it. And the fact that these issues KEEP HAPPENING shows he is not only aware, but also doesn't care to fix any of it.
What makes you think that anyone gives a fuck what "people" like you think.
FYI, pink eye is not only contagious, it is the first sign of several nasty diseases that are out there right now. Sounds like they had zero medical screening.
I just don’t understand why this rich guys put on acts like this and won’t pay workers or for actors/contestants to have safe working living conditions when the prize pool is 5 million fucking dollars. Let’s say Mr beast is GENUINELY struggling for money, make the prize pool a normal fucking size like every other game show and use the rest of that on ur workers or the contestants or both, u can make it work but he’s actively choosing not to for cheap labor. Really sad tbh.
I'm surprised there's not been some kind of lawsuit or something that's prevented this show from continuing production. If nothing is done to stop this before the next batch of production starts, I can forsee that there will be far worse things going on than what we've seen so far.
It’s unfair when the news article says the allegations are untrue. Every single thing that was reported is absolutely true. I was one of the older contestants in the beast games. When I arrived at the Rio I was told I had to stay in my room until someone came and got me. I was to order room service for my meal that night. Some people went to the casino and the pool because we were imprisoned in our rooms for 2 days. I was told they were sent home if caught but never actually saw anyone be sent home. Room service didn’t arrive so I was told go to the food court buy something and come right back to my room. I actually thought this was part of the show being locked up for two days. The television in my room did not work but maintenance came the second afternoon and brought a new cable box. Contestants were guarded 24/7 so I never left the room. The other item not addressed was the 8 buildings on the production floor. There were port a potties disguised as set props. They were never emptied so the smell became rancid. I could not sit sleep or walk next to them. The last day of filming they lost my sleeping bag and no one was concerned about it. I snuck into the bleachers and laid across four chairs to get some sleep. I do believe it was day time because with no clocks or daylight we had no idea what time it was. It felt like I was filming as 1 am all night long. When I was discovered I got a stern warning to get back on the field floor and the 2 production staff watched me until I got all the way back to the floor. I was one of the contestants that takes medication at night. I sent 3 emails to staff and they never responded. I got my medication late in the afternoon after we started shooting. My under garments were Fed X to me after I got home from Las Angeles address so I spent 4 days in the same undergarments. To say the challenges were unfair is an understatement. I was highly disappointed when I found out this was not the Amazon production but just for Mr. Beast you tube channel. It felt like I was the guinea pig for some Frat house antics. Did I want to compete? Yes . When I was escorted to my room I asked staff “should I be worried because so many young people” he said no, it will be fair just like beast games. Somehow I made it through the whole production but didn’t make it to the real show. All of that made me believe this You Tuber took on much more than he was prepared to handle. I am one of the few older contestants that managed to survive but not without injury. When I got really mad about the production is the reports the Amazon, Mr. Beast denied all the allegations. EVERYTHING STATED ACTUALLY HAPPENED! I still have the phone call about the additional $1000. Just buying silence. Nope not going to work. Mr. Beast team should have just been honest. The last lie we were told was wait around because several people will be able to move on to the Amazon show. So we waited for hours to just get yelled at that whoever told us that was wrong. I saw people crying and very upset. Don’t deny the allegations because someone is trying to save face, all these things really happened and our expectations were far from the reality but I guess it makes good content to see people trampled and hurt. I am patiently waiting to see the outcome.
mrbeast fans are trying to defend him and hes going to sue someone to run away like a mrbeast burgers..
MULTIPLE people criticized Mr.Beast before - one girl claimed she had her prize stolen. People said she was an attention-seeking liar and didn't believe her. But they were right.
I was a mrbeast squid game contestant. But i was eliminated on the second event. That recording was pretty even. Im heavy set, and i made it through red light green light.
Okay, they covid tested us, they fed us, flew us out, and gave us hotel rooms for when we were not recording. And i was paid 2k for 3 days. It was a good time.
They emailed me a few days before the public casting call for Beast games asking if i wanted to go. Im so glad i never responded. I feel sorry for all these folks that were competing. Kind of wild.
I feel like there's gonna be a documentary soon about Beast Games just like the Fyre Festival situation on Netflix. Only this time, regular people are the victims rather than rich kids.
>Register to a game based on a deadly game
>Angry when it resulted in being a dangerous game and not a barnie episode
Imagine my shock
Bad planning for such a big show, the competition is highly athletic but they make it not gender based and seemingly have no age limit either, hearing young men compete with woman and elderly how this is not obvious yet to the production team, of course the young men will win, try to include everybody but end up being the most unfair!!!!!
Nothing will come of this controversy...Mr Beast is simply too big of a figure to care about health and safety. The only thing that will affect him is if people lose interest in his content, and majority of the people interested in his content don't care enough and/or don't see a problem.
Fr tho, companies have invested too much in him they'd most likely just delete everything being spread about him and file a few million dollar law suits
sounds like actual torture
Yk its actually concerning when someone puts on a smile every single time even when they arent supposed to.
I understand it was based on squid game. But i don't know if they knew the show was fiction.
God this is so terrible those poor people :(
Jesus, it's like The Hunger Games
They took hunger games literally

Bro even in Squid Games they were treating them better than this lmao
I like him less and less the more people talk about the shitty things he's done.
had a friend who worked on crew for one of his videos (he hired a lot of local freelancers for this particular video-don’t know if that’s usually what he does or if that just happened for this particular video but considering the crew he has for this show, it seems like he does this regularly). he said the hours were ridiculously long with little to no breaks for much lower pay than it should have been for that kind of shoot, it was extremely unorganized, his “friends” were rude to contestants, and mr beast himself had an ego and didn’t really acknowledge the crew and just kind of dropped them in their filming locations with little direction and dipped for the majority of the night until he was needed on camera again. this wasn’t even an early video where you can chalk it up to inexperience, this was a year or so ago. ever since i learned that i was always sketched out by his whole filming process and how he allows contestants to be treated on set, and it seems like my friend’s experience tracks with what’s happening now. he’s been doing this for too long to chalk it up to inexperience, and if the producers/directors/production people he hired are also allowing this, they should be taking the blame too.
I don't understand tbh. How are they able to forbid people from seeking medical attention? Were they locked inside the stadium with only production having the keys? They were physically stopping them from leaving?
Holy Bacterial Infections, Batman!
There are only two people in the world I trust to touch my meds, even the over the counter one. I sure as hell wouldn't let some staffer on a game show have hold of it.
I come to Austin’s videos because I never know what tf is going on and he never fails to inform
And the crazy thing is Jake from the DogPack404 video experienced similar cruelties to what were hearing from the Beast Games. So if there are people that still have some doubts about his story, then LOOK NO FURTHER. Mr.Beast at it again inflicting physical and mental trauma on innocent people, all for entertainment and profit.
He doesn't care. The FTC needs to investigate and the feds should search all of their computer devices
Atleast the people in the show got regular meals and water 😭??? WHAT
They got beds too btw 👍
I don't know why his company would let this all go down this way because large scale productions like this are stood up as businesses (usually LLCs) that are required to carry insurance, workman's comp, etc. So people getting hurt on set like this (especially due to negligence on the production's part) is the direct responsibility of the production, opening them up to all kinds of legal issues. One would think that at least out of the interest of self-preservation, Mr. Beast wouldn't allow this kind of environment to happen on set.
I will say the medication stuff and underwear is freakin weird... waiting to hear more....but am weirded out!!!
Why in the world did they take their medications and underwear? Like god damn let people handle it on their own.
The Squid Games reality show (which was already a terrible idea from jump) was a mess for a lot of the same reasons. So why they thought they could double the number of contestants and not end up in a mess of their own making is so confusing to me. Hubris maybe?
