        He was the guy riding the cresting wave of YouTube enshittification. A lot of the more obnoxious marketing gimmicks - Soy Face, most notable - were pioneered by his team.

        Idk if you can blame him explicitly for a generation of slop. But he’s the physical embodiment of doing literally anything for attention. His mannerisms and soulless self-promotion have become the curse of the GenZ demographic.

          Also massive safety issues and borderline human rights abuses at his weird squid game event which he had direct knowledge off and did nothing about.

            Oh yeah there’s a bunch :3… didn’t he also get accused of running illegal lotteries and rigging games?

            I can’t say I kept up with most of the drama well enough to verify many of the specific claims tho

        He’s successful and on YouTube. The rest is typical nerd rage and jealousy from neck beards angry at his success.

          Bad take for the L. Did you miss the part he knowingly had a pedophile on staff and gave them access to children? Id love to hear how that is nerd rage or jealousy

          And that is just one issue with mr beast but your dismissive attitude is blinding you

          His Wikipedia page has 7 different subsections under controversies, plus a link to a separate page called “List of lawsuits involving MrBeast”

          Probably just jealousy.
