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

    2. Is “discussing inappropriate topics” a crime now? I skimmed the video, but most of just looked like the usual adolescent 4chan stuff. Racist stuff in there? Sure. But we’ve got a presidential candidate who declared that immigrants “poison the blood” of America. A couple of memes from a flash-in-the-pan “celebrity” hardly seems worthy of the FBI’s time…

    As far as I can tell most of the paedo/grooming allegations are about one of his staff members. Is this story really about them and they’ve just slapped MrBeast in the headline for clicks?

      Beast is charity exploitation porn. One of those people that does “good deeds” and then plasters himself all over the good deed while recording the people he is helping, demonstrating how great a thing he is doing, while simultaneously stuffing his pockets as fast as he can with cash. He’s supposedly a billionaire to give you an idea of where his priorities are.

        The problem here is how you present your opinion and thoughts as fact. I even agree with your opinion, but I don’t really care that he does it. I’m sure he is exploiting people to profit for himself, but at least he’s giving people things.

        There’s a lot worse out there to dedicate care and energy to.

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