Chris here - just to elaborate.
Not been a fan of Mr Beast's content for many years now. I don’t think he’s bad, but like many folks his content isn’t aimed at me and thankfully his videos never appear on my homepage.
However, seeing him partner with Logan Paul, a man who's done nothing but awful act after act for almost a decade now just made me snap.
It may have been six years but I still have the dystopian fucked up image in my head, of Logan Paul vlogging himself in the Aokigahara forest, mocking somebody who was quite literally hanging from a tree before him. And rather than do what any decent person would do, and show compassion and immediately switch off the camera, he recklessly and selfishly exploited it for views. He carried on filming. He joked about it. And then he actively uploaded it to his channel.
Then I had to go on Japanese national tv and explain why a foreign YouTuber would want to exploit a man who’d tragically taken his own life for views. Understandably, everyone in Japan was confused why anyone would do such a thing.
And while I believe in forgiveness, Logan Paul hasn't exactly reformed his character. He's not a changed man - barely a week goes by without a new headline of some outrageous, awful shit he's actively partaken in.
So to see the world's largest Youtube gleefully partner with a man like that and endorse them to an audience of tens of millions of kids is something that just sickens me, all in the name of some disgustingly tacky food product, again aimed at children. I'm not sure what counter argument he has up his sleeve this time, but you can be damn sure references to philanthropy will be made in abundance.
My rant wasn’t about “making money is bad”. It was about the act of making money by partnering with a man with an abhorrent track record to sell crap food aimed at children seems like a pretty spectacular error of judgment.

I always remembered the Kevin Steen “Zoo Enthusiast” shirt and wanted to riff it in some way. Thanks to the immensely talented @PollyannaDIY we’ve done it. Combining VIF’s love of theme parks into a shirt. We should hopefully have these available in a few weeks!
@PuroPodcast His description was exactly what Derby fans did every game during our worst season ever 🤣. Lots of alcohol + Zero hope = Derby fans acting like a britwres crowd.
