    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.

    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.

    Its so validating to be right about Mr Beast. My sixth sense about people is never wrong. Now I’m just waiting for Louis Rossman to be outted for something too.

      Louis is self-admittedly an asshole, but he’s a fair asshole and his people stick by and swear by him, even after they leave.

      I respect him and truly feel he’s honest, especially when he has so many receipts.

      I’d rather an honest asshole than a kind manipulator.

        Honestly, Louis has been giving pedo vibes past couple months. Maybe it was the sunglasses, maybe it was one too many incel comments, but it’s a bit harder to watch him now

      I mean, the dude made obscene amounts of money by getting poor people to debase themselves for a little bit of his horde. I question the judgment of anybody that didn’t see it coming.

        He can be a bit petite bourgeoisie. Other than that, he’s a stand up guy who doesn’t have to worry about YouTube demonitizing his videos so he can say whatever the hell he fucking pleases.

          Well… he was doing ok in NYC for a while, and that’s a tough gig. I’d call him a petite bourgeoisie if we’re talking about the actual definition of the word lol.

          If we’re taking about his chutzpah, giving a billion dollar company the figure on the regular, that’s just the NYC mentality. The social stratum in the city can be very strange, for ex living in the building next to trump himself, but knowing he’s completely divorced from the realities of a regular guy.

          We might be from the same city, but some of us are new yorkers, some of us merely do business there.

          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.

          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.

        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.

    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.
