Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be blacklisted, cite OSHA, setting medics for failure
Exploring the chaos that paved its way to a class action lawsuit, contestants and Las Vegas staff speak on their MrBeast ‘Beast Games’ experience.
I think this is the key line to take away from the article that sums up what a massive fuckup this whole thing was, solely based on one person's ego:
MrBeast producers had forbidden medics from being stationed inside the set—even during challenges—because they did not want to ruin the atmosphere, said April.
You know what ruins the atmosphere? Injured people
Endangerment?

Unfortunately he won't. This is just press for his show now. It'll draw more of an audience to watch the shitshow and net him millions and he won't learn a thing.
About a dozen portable restrooms were set up on the field to accommodate the 2,000 contestants who were limited to the field’s confines.
there's me, shitting my pants again
That's me in the corner That's me on the came-ra Shitting my pants
And now you have to find an organizer who knows where they stored your spare underwear.
But that does bring up a glaring omission. Contestants had access to porta potties, sure, but nothing in this article mentions access to showers. 🤔
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.
It's definitely one of those "The longer you look, the worse it gets. "situations
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.
I do not trust anyone who engages in philanthropy porn. It's always more about the show and the ego of the person or people behind it than it is about the people supposedly being helped.
Did people ever doubt that though?
Yeah he's inflating his ego. And he's making money off it. The only reason I sort of like MrBeast is that there are plenty of other people ALSO doing a bunch of shit for show and making mad bank from it, mostly nobody gives much back, but he realized that philanthropy can be self-funding if done with enough show.
But it's still very much obvious philanthropy porn with MrBeast, not true philanthropy.
I don't have anything specific to out him with, he mostly seems like a genuinely nice dude, but here's my take on him:
Louis Rossmann pretty much supports right to repair because he ran (runs?) a board-level Apple device repair shop and his life would be much easier with access to schematics. And he's got a YouTube channel that got loads of views from blasting Apple with all this, so he must've realized that this would be popular with his viewers too.
He's also a libertarian. In many areas, it seems like he's for LESS regulation of companies. Including on workers' rights, because "the free market will make everything great". Are we really sure his right to repair stance is genuinely because he wants the best for everyone?
That said, if I had an Apple device with a bad logic board and I was in the area, I'd take it to him without any hesitation. I honestly doubt he's scamming his customers. Like, ever. I think his business practices are good, it's his political views that are suspicious.
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.
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.
It was very suspicious that there was one good billionaire.
Now what am I supposed to watch while waiting for the edible to kick in?
Old Gumby and Pokey cartoons, like nature intended!
Just don't drop acid and watch this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUHyZt_NY7k
My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won't end well.
I'm that case I'm making "Swift 2032" bumper stickers now, get in the game early.
Iirc he has expressed interest in running for president before.
He made the most 10 year old statement that if he ran for president he would just talk to both parties and reach a compromise.
Good thing his target audience can't vote. Hopefully as they grow up they learn he's full of shit and stop supporting him
Outright fucking sociopath.
I am baffled how anyone thought someone who went by the moniker Mr. Beast wasn't telling you who they were the whole tine.
Thank you spankmonkey
Mr. Spankmonkey
Do you have any history of pointing this out, if so, where?

They really went all-out in recreating squid games
This reads like another Fyre Festival. Just when I thought my opinion of him could not get lower.
Fucking crazy that they took peoples meds from them. Its like they were trying to get people killed for clicks. Honestly also crazy that people didnt just walk out right away but i guess money makes people do weird stuff.
They literally let someone who had a seizure just lay there for an hour before getting them medical attention. Fucking criminal.
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.

Comments are about the Beast Games and lack of experience, safety, and general foresight.
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.
