Talk:MrBeast

He has been reported to the FBI

Leaked Telegram chat logs containing Jimmy, Ava, and various employees of the MrBeast company have been reported to the FBI due to the nature of the content discussed and shared in them. This should be added under the Ava Kris Tyson section, because most of the concerns and reasons for being reported come from Tyson more than Donaldson and the other employees.

Why Did Rosanna Pansino Report MrBeast to the FBI? Scandal Explained

YouTuber Rosanna Pansino files FBI report on MrBeast over ‘disturbing’ Telegram chats - Hindustan Times Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 02:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

These feel like low quality clickbait sources, and I would oppose inclusion. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Agree with @Hemiauchenia. Also, the recent allegation from Rosanna Pansino and DogPack404 about the Ivanka photo seems misleading due to this X Post. It shows some allegations were made with minimum research. We have to wait until things are clear. IDB.S (talk) 02:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

That is fair, there are a lot of allegations mentioned by Rosanna, Dogpack404, and other ex-employees and contestants that are not mentioned on the article yet such as the faked/exaggerated philanthropy due to lack of confirmation from a reliable and Wikipedia-trusted source.

Honestly at this point I wouldn't even be surprised if DogPack404 appears in WP:RfD Jothefiredragon🐲talk🐉edits 09:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

To be fair, I think that MrBeasts downfall could merit an entire article if enough verifiable allegations come out due to how big of an event it is in terms of internet culture. To think that only 5 months ago, people wanted him to run for president and win the Nobel Peace Prize, but now they want him and Ava in prison.

• add and edit the Controversy section of MrBeast Wikipedia page regarding Beast Games*

Background: Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, worked with Amazon MGM Studios to produce his new show, Beast Games, inspired by his YouTube challenge series. The reality show is said to have 1000 contestants partaking in a series of competitions for a single cash prize of $5 million dollars. “My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove Youtubers and creators can succeed on other platforms,” MrBeast stated. Beast Games has caused loads of anticipation as it is expected to be the biggest reality competition series according to Amazon. Despite its indefinite release date, the series will be available in over 240 countries and territories through Prime Video.

Issue: In March 2024, Donaldson and Amazon MGM Studios announced plans for a new reality competition series Beast Games, with 1,000 contestants competing for a $5 million prize. However, the production soon faced criticism for denying contestants food, water, and medical care. A lawsuit filed by five contestants in September 2024 alleges unsafe conditions, unpaid wages, and sexual harassment, particularly affecting female contestants. The lawsuit claims participants were hospitalized due to the physically demanding challenges, and the work environment fostered a culture of misogyny​.

Involvement: Amazon was involved and Jimmy Donaldson. 1000 contestants participated, but names weren’t disclosed due to privacy concerns. The lawsuit mentions that is it filed under pseudonyms to protect identities and avoid public embarrassment.

Responses: As of October 2024, the aftermath of Beast Games is still unfolding but has ignited significant backlash from fans and critics alike, who voiced their disappointment over ethical concerns surrounding the production. Many expressed worries about the contestants' well-being and called for accountability from both MrBeast and Amazon. Contestants have corroborated the allegations of poor treatment, pushing for industry reforms in reality TV standards. Although Amazon and MrBeast initially remained silent, public pressure has mounted, demanding greater transparency and enhanced safety measures. YouTuber Rosanna Pansino (past contestant) further amplified the issue by highlighting troubling allegations such as unsafe conditions, inadequate food, and medical neglect. Pansino criticized fellow influencers for their silence, stressing the need for accountability and responsibility within the YouTube community. GNSE 330 (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Adding information regarding developments about faked and/or misrepresented charity work

In the controversies section, a new sub section should be added detailing the recent information about some of the misrepresentations of various elements of the charity work done by mrbreast. This includes not paying for the 1000 eye surgeries as was claimed in the video for that and the misrepresented images of the building repairs in the "we powered a mountain" video.

It may also make sense to add information to the public image and influence section, which seems totally lacking any mention of the negative change in recent months. TheTopOfCode (talk) 07:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

So long as reliable sources exists. However I advise to wait since the story can develop markedly. ChopinChemist^Talk? 18:55, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Request to modify protection settings

​​​​​​ Hi. Previous previous protection settings was indefinite WP:SEMI. However, someone changed it to temporary wp:ECP, which is expiring by tomorrow. Any planned updates before shenanigans approach razing the door without even knocking on it?197.240.59.54 (talk) 17:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, as it has been a long time since it was last protected, maybe we might want to see what happens? A request to renew that indef semi can always be made and will in all likelihood be looked on favorably. Daniel Case (talk) 18:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I can see anons'. edits which don't seem to be helpful to the recently created page MrBeast Lab. I also realized that you protected lunchly temporarily. Once its protection expires, which is within a week, the same story might likely happen again as what is presently happening to feastables. Those aspects have to be taken into consideration before this page's edit history gets likely flooded with hidden (or perhaps wp:oversight) material.197.240.59.54 (talk) 00:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Considering how polemic the subject appears to be, and it being a BLP, I think returning to indefinite semi would be best. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 01:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
