    I watch a lot of YouTuber myself. Answers with Joe being one of my favorites.

    I can’t help but feel like there’s something off about him. Like years from they’ll find a bunch of dead homeless guys in his garage or something.

    It might just be that smile, or the over enthusiastic way he talks. Like all preformers are fake. Joe from answers with Joe is also putting on a performance but Mr beast it just like an alien pretending to be a human.

    And games just feel problematic and exploitative, on the other hand poor people have done far more degrading things for lesser domes of money.

    Anyway long story short there’s just something about him that creeps me out

      There was a former employee for MrBeast (Donaldson) who posted 2 very long videos about his time working for him:

      Allegations from DogPack404 On July 24, 2024, former employee DogPack404 posted a YouTube video accusing Donaldson of staging contests, running illegal lotteries, falsifying signatures, and misleading viewers.[172][173][174] He followed with an interview of former staffer Jake Weddle, who described being denied sleep during productions, said the team employed Jake Franklin’s brother-in-law despite his status as a registered sex offender, and alleged that a cameraman tried to intoxicate female participants with paint fumes.[174] Weddle identified the cameraman as “Delaware”, claiming Donaldson knew about his conviction, which stemmed from an incident when Delaware was 16 and the victim was 11.[175]

      The videos he posted are long (~51 and 54 min), but he does comment a lot on MrBeast’s character while making his case against him. His second video focuses a lot more on this and he brings in another former employee while showing off some screenshots of others who wanted to remain more anonymous.

      He mentioned a part 3 video, but never posted it.

      On the other side, Legal Eagle offers a shorter video, focused only on the legal aspects of the DogPack’s allegations in the first video. Basically, MrBeast is likely protected by whatever waivers he has his employees/contestants sign.
