There's an element of kayfabe to a lot of MrBeast's videos. Harmless kayfabe that most rational adults can see through and not care about (selective post editing to increase tension, etc). This somehow makes MrBeast a bad man.
He also seems to think that MrBeast should be 100% altruistic and that using his videos to promote products to children is bad.

- piva00 2y agoThe conversation about an adult YouTuber using psychological manipulation to milk children for money through gambling? No one is dying, just children being exploited. No biggie.
