  • There’s a part 1 to this video that goes into it. Basically:

    • videos are faked (reality level TV stuff - making the timers look like they’re still counting down)
    • there was a person who was recently on staff who was a sexual deviant named Ava Kris Tyson who also seemed to be obsessed with teenagers and ran a discord server talking about inappropriate stuff (this is worse than my description sounds)
    • Beast was on this server for a time but doesn’t seem to have been an active participant
    • Illegal lotteries from the Streaming “giveaways”
    • claiming his chocolate is “healthy” and encourage kids to eat it to have a chance at randomly winning a prize
    • in Aus, having an app for the chocolate that says you win a prize when you pull the slots but you actually don’t win anything (basically getting triple 7s and getting told you win nothing)
    • safety issues with the beast games, moving to Canada so no union workers can join, etc.
    • this video explains some horrible stuff Mr Beast and team did for a single video

    Really the biggest deal I think is the illegal lotteries. Because those are actual criminal acts













  • I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.

    Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.

    It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.

    In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.
