I think this is the key line to take away from the article that sums up what a massive fuckup this whole thing was, solely based on one person’s ego:
MrBeast producers had forbidden medics from being stationed inside the set—even during challenges—because they did not want to ruin the atmosphere, said April.
You know what ruins the atmosphere? Injured people
Apparently not, since they said you could hear bones breaking while cameras were rolling and someone had a seizure and was just left on the field for an hour.
Honestly, the whole thing sound like MrBeast just wants to jerk off to people getting tortured.
Injury IS the atmosphere! Genius
Is this the recent fuck up from that mrbeast guy? I knew he had legal stuff, but I didn’t care enough to look into it. I just was trying to be like the cool kids and kick him while he was down. I watch a whole Erik video about him and didn’t learn what he did. 😂 I was wondering when I would find out some details.
Endangerment?
surprised pikachu
About a dozen portable restrooms were set up on the field to accommodate the 2,000 contestants who were limited to the field’s confines.
there’s me, shitting my pants again
That’s me in the corner That’s me on the came-ra Shitting my pants
And now you have to find an organizer who knows where they stored your spare underwear.
But that does bring up a glaring omission. Contestants had access to porta potties, sure, but nothing in this article mentions access to showers. 🤔
Unfortunately he won’t. This is just press for his show now. It’ll draw more of an audience to watch the shitshow and net him millions and he won’t learn a thing.
They collected everyone’s medication???!!! Wtf? What could possibly be the reason for that? Also collecting a change of underwear for 2000 people is just ridiculous.
Not having any system in place to keep track of what underwear belongs to any of the participants is just icing on the cake.
Why are you taking people’s medication and underwear and then mixing it altogether? Just to create chaos?
I am so confused by all of this.
It’s definitely one of those "The longer you look, the worse it gets. "situations
This is just brutally bad. There are people who organize large scale events. The knowledge is out there, he obviously either did not hire them or ignored their advice.
My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won’t end well.
I’m that case I’m making “Swift 2032” bumper stickers now, get in the game early.
Iirc he has expressed interest in running for president before.
He made the most 10 year old statement that if he ran for president he would just talk to both parties and reach a compromise.
Good thing his target audience can’t vote. Hopefully as they grow up they learn he’s full of shit and stop supporting him
In the wise words of Billy Connolly,
The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.
At the founding of the United States, the public sentiment reflected that idea. The thought of someone promoting themselves for public office would’ve been seen as a power-grab. In fact, George Washington didn’t campaign at all - others nominated him. Even when he won the vote unanimously, he still wasn’t sure if he would accept the position, as he doubted his ability to handle the responsibility.
Washington set a lot of precedents for the office that still remain today. It’s a shame this humble honesty didn’t stick.
It’s true for leaders in general. The best leaders I’ve had were people who didn’t want to be, and each person I’ve seen focus on “leadership skills” and trying to climb a corporate or other power ladder has been abysmal at it.
Resonates with my experience. A company that comes from nothing to be successful is likely to have a good leader. That hugely successful company that attracted the sharks and one of those managed to gain leadership? Bad times ahead…
Most of the ppl I’d vote for have expressed a clear digust in becoming a politician. Sad irony
Those best suited to power rarely want it.
I would like to see a minority of the house representation of elected people from individual regions with term limits, with a majority of the house being regular people randomly selected to serve for a defined amount of time.
Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don’t hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don’t support them.
He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It’s just a matter of time.
I think that means we’re not learning.
I would take him over trump
You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.
Obviously, I’m voting for Harris. I’m just saying, on the relative scale, there’s a hierarchy.
There’s a hierarchy, but surely there’s also a minimum level that a candidate should meet.
“Should”? Absolutely. At some point if both candidates are truly awful I suppose I’d have to vote third party.
It’s always a vote between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Probably always will be too.
Well you’re spare parts, bud.
You’re never going to be offered a choice between Mr. Beast and Trump, you may be offered a choice between AOC and Mr. Beast though
Outright fucking sociopath.
I am baffled how anyone thought someone who went by the moniker Mr. Beast wasn’t telling you who they were the whole tine.
Thank you spankmonkey
Mr. Spankmonkey
Do you have any history of pointing this out, if so, where?

They really went all-out in recreating squid games
This reads like another Fyre Festival. Just when I thought my opinion of him could not get lower.
Fucking crazy that they took peoples meds from them. Its like they were trying to get people killed for clicks. Honestly also crazy that people didnt just walk out right away but i guess money makes people do weird stuff.
They literally let someone who had a seizure just lay there for an hour before getting them medical attention. Fucking criminal.
That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.
He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.
Putting everybody in a hotel room doesn’t let you display them all simultaneously like a herd of animals.
Oh totally not, but that’s my point. If you are going to exploit those people, at least treat them with dignity before they go in front of the camera. Even Jerry Springer had at least the decency to pay for the flight, the hotel, the limo… before treating his guests like monkeys for his show. Not that it would excuse it, but it would appear a tad more humane.
Well the guy is a grade A clown. If his fan base wants to be treated like garbage for a chance to eventually get sexually molested by mr beast or his inner circle of douche bags….🤷♂️
Most of his fan base are children.
And that makes it worse
Not really sure how anyone could think I was suggesting the opposite, particularly as I was responding to a comment blaming the victims for being abused.
Production company Off One’s Base LLC wrote in a synopsis sent to the Nevada Film Office that challenges would involve “brains, brawn, and character.”
Brains to plan Violence, Brawn to preform violence, and a (lack of) Character to enact violence, seems to be what they meant based on this article.
Yeah, there was a point in my life where I liked Mr. Beast. Then I came upon a video where they were trying to imitate gangsters and thugs and I got a racist vibe from him. Since then, I’ve been really hesitant to support him.
