The video author posted this comment under the video which goes over his main claims:

"Claims I provide evidence for in this video:

1. Many MrBeast videos are fake, contests are unfairly rigged, and contestants are often undisclosed friends and family of MrBeast employees, or employees themselves.

2. MrBeast has run multiple illegal lotteries targeting children. (I estimate they profited over $10,000,000 from these lotteries)

3. MrBeast knowingly sold merch with fake autographs while claiming on his website that “The autographed piece is genuine”. (fraud imo)

Also MrBeast knew about Kris being a pdf"

I put the video into an AI summarization tool, the TLDR is that the Johto region in gold and silver is a replica of Japan.

Feel lost still, very much miss the population on reddit. I browsed a lot of gaming subreddits, and the ones with dozens of daily posts there get maybe one per month(!) on their lemmy equivalent, and more niche subs don’t even exist here. It sucks. Yes, I try to make posts, but I alone wont change things.

Dont use reddit for entertainment but still have to use it for tech support or product reviews, there is 0 competition in that regard. Tried using a site that searches through multiple reddit-esque sites for questions like this but gave up bcs 10/10 times the only answers were on Reddit.

There’s been a number of articles about it a while ago on videogame journalism websites

AFAIK they do still put out articles about it but I suppose it’s not as much of a hot topic today

Disclosure I identify with the movement, hence bias

Thing started off February 29 when Chris Kindred, the narrative designer at Sweet Baby Inc, a videogame consulting company, called for a mass report campaign against the steam curator group (and its owner) “Sweet Baby Inc Detected”, which exist to highlight steam games in which the company has some involvement. Chris called it a harrassment group and claimed that it breaks steam’s terms of service.

This got a lot of eyes on the group which balooned in membership, right wingers/ old gamergaters latched onto it and I think it’s fair to say that this Sweet baby Inc detected group is the main Gamergate 2 community. As time goes on the movement isn’t just campaigning against this one company, but against many similiar consultation groups (Black Girl Gamers/Gaymers for example) and the concept of ESG funding in general.

Good part of the video talks about how games from Japan specifically are affected by these companies / ESG. So it’s not just limited to the american videogame industry

If you don’t directly pay for a product but engage with it, you are still supporting it. You are driving up user metrics, generating ad revenue, creating content for others (videogames, social media). It’s complete nonsense to claim you are against something but then continue to use it

This does apply to the current Reddit situation but I formulated this view a while back after quitting Gacha games, people playing those titles looooooove talking about how they would never pay a penny due to the evil monetization but they have no qualms about recruiting friends, writing positive reviews, being content for paying players to lord over, creating guilds etc.
