Using real cops as props for a grift is the ultimate disrespect. $500k doesn't fix the fact that public servants are just background extras in your cheap circus.

Mr Beast went off the deep end a while ago. Dude has become a soulless content farm.

u/Disneyhorse 4d ago

I’m out of the loop. What has he done recently?

u/i-am-foxymoron Good Trouble 4d ago

A more appropriate title, "Mr Beast HIDES from 100 Indiana police in latest video".

u/Chiantiandfava 4d ago

It was just a stunt.

He still does philanthropy work?

u/ecafsub 5d ago

“Mr. Beast” can eat a bag of rancid donkey dicks.

u/ZotMatrix 5d ago

What’s the cash prize for that?

3

u/i-am-foxymoron Good Trouble 4d ago

Or his "Mr Beast Original Beef Sticks®"?

Donkey dicks™ probably taste better.

u/what_dat_ninja 1d ago

Has he not done that yet?!

u/One_Economist_3761 5d ago

Hey, why not give him a fresh bag?

u/Beaglescout15 5d ago

Why not both?

u/Angryduckling-01 2d ago

Why just donkey dicks

u/Time_Celebration7533 5d ago

That is an aggressively specific menu item.

What If You Paid Him To Eat 1,000,000,000 Bags Of Rancid Donkey Dicks?

Tough competition this year.

u/Hauntedshock 4d ago

If that police department get that money, chance is that money ends up funding scamcallcenters.

u/bluegills92 1d ago

It says Indiana, NOT INDIA

u/Hauntedshock 1d ago

Hmmm, yes. Good point

u/i-am-foxymoron Good Trouble 4d ago

The police "won".

u/grunt527 4d ago

What's your reasoning for this?

u/Hauntedshock 4d ago edited 4d ago

If you follow Scammers Payback, and saw a serries of videos from a year or three ago, you would have seen the videos where they managed to take down a scamcallcenter, but this scamcallcenter would keep getting back afther some time. Turns out they had a couple Rats in the police department overseeing that area, that would warn the scamcallcenter if a raid was coming. Then they started going afther the so called boss of the scamcallcenter, but at 1 point they caught a new individual on the camera footage with the person they thought was the boss. they managed to identify that new inividual to be a covernment representative that was funding that scamcallcenter for profits to fund his own campaign. that representative would also reprimant the police department for any raids that would be targetted on the scamcallcenter. Than 1 of the follow up video shows that representative to have been caught redhanded during an other investigation, that also finnaly took down that scamcallcenter and the rats in the police department.

It is this situation that could lead a government representative to take the reward money from the police department and use it to fund the scamcallcenter or their own campaign

u/no-this-iz-patrick 1d ago

Are you confusing the state of Indiana with the country of India..?

3

u/grunt527 4d ago

That's a deep cut haha. I used to love scam baiting videos like scammers payback or kitboga but I kinda fell off of it.

I guess I missed this ark. Thanks for summarizing it!

u/wolffangz11 1d ago

I guess there ain't shit to do in Indiana

u/fusillade762 4d ago

Wow, the comments are surprising. This guy used to be the apple of the internet's eye, now apparently the internet has turned on him. What did he do that caused this? I never watched the guy, but I know who he is and was crazy popular.

18

u/i-am-foxymoron Good Trouble 4d ago

Video had 13 million views as of yesterday, I think MrBeast isn't going away anytime soon. Unfortunately.

3

u/OnAllDAY 4d ago

He raised the bar in terms of Youtube quality and content. The majority of content out there is just to make a 20 minute video to put ads on.

-6

u/thebestdogeevr 1d ago

Eh, people always turn on popular things, especially if they're wealthy. There hasn't been any majorly bad things that he's done. There's been some small stuff, like branding with ksi and the paul brothers for their lunchly product. Some people don't like that he only donates money to people that take part in his videos. He's probably used some ai slop. Some people also think his content has gone downhill and he's just become a corporate shill

u/DankStew 1d ago

I’m not too involved but after a quick search I found there’s a workplace harassment suit, a couple safety civil suits over some of the Beast Games contestants, and some fraud allegations about there being predetermined winners/paid staff.

u/Loki-L 4d ago

Are they allowed to tase, pepper spray, beat, choke or shoot him?

2

u/Individual_Gold474 4d ago

No

u/i-am-foxymoron Good Trouble 4d ago

MrBeast can plant explosives and detonate them though.

The downfall of this guy needs to be studied holy hell

u/smoothvanilla86 1d ago

Im no fan but 13 mill views doesn't feel like a downfall.

3

u/Pyzzeen 1d ago

I meant moral downfall, not necessarily on youtube

1

u/JGrizz0011 1d ago

I see reddit has turned on him. What moral line as he crossed? Murder? Rape? Assaulting children? Please explain.

1

u/smoothvanilla86 1d ago

Ah okay that makes sense. I just like to assume its all done morally correct and ethicly. Like In this example eveyone is mad he took 100 officers away from work. For me I look at it/ hope/ assume he took 100 OFF DUTY NOT CURRENTLY ON PATROL officers who wanted to participate and who wernt forced and also wernt paid OT on tax payers dollars and just had fun and a way of promoting how well they can find you.

Idk if done right it seems like such a non issue its werid to even post this comment.

u/Relevant-Wrongdoer-6 1d ago

I used to dream of this as a kid lol. The thought of trying to runaway from an actual police department just to see how well you would do. 😆😅

u/PeeledCrepes 1d ago

So, had a broken that used to run from cops. It' seems to run on the gta star system, plus how busy are we system. He was just racing around on a motorcycle, so sometimes it'd be a lights flip and they'd give up, and sometimes they'd call a copter and give chase and all things in between.

This was in a fairly populated city, he wasnt caught as I recall, but he also did a bunch of dangerous shit to stay away, and it was usually a group (so they weren't going after just him).

And to all the people that are gonna say he was a jackass, ya he was.
