Not that I don't trust a random greentext 4channer, but is this true?

It would explain why asmongold defended him

Edit: Ludwig is also defending him now

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 100 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yes this is true, they're a talent management company. A couple months back Night Inc also bought The Roost bringing H3, Phillip DeFranco, Ludwig and others under their umbrella too.

Mr Beast went independent since this was originally posted though.

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

It's odd how I already didn't like most of those creators to begin with. I guess this just gives me a reason

[–] bookcrawler@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

[–] shani66@ani.social 26 points 3 months ago

I know beast was with a company called night owned by reed duchscher and they company claims to work with a lot of other streamers, so it's at least true-ish.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 70 points 3 months ago (4 children)

MrBeast is one person who I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if he had some horrible secret, like diddling kids or something equally creepy.

There's something very off about that guy.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Because that's not a smile, he's just showing his teeth. His eyes are dead and joyless... definitely off-putting.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Some people just don't know how to smile in front of a camera.

Or it's part of their clickbait thumbnail strategy, like how other Youtubers make an obnoxious face because those thumbnails get clicks.

[–] Lotarion@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It's an expression that's optimized to maximize the click through rate of a video. Unfortunately it also looks hideous

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At least part of the problem is the stache.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I think it was worse.before facial hair

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 10 points 3 months ago

Been a lot of controversy around him in past weeks. I dont watch him, and while I am a fan of his charity work, it was an interesting read.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

To produce that kind of continuous soulless content, you usually need to be on a lot of drugs.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

He's just ugly, I think.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lmao, I'm just glad I don't watch anyone this post mentioned, or any other of those idiots.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Yeah I've heard of mrbeast but all of this means absolutely nothing to me.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago

Your World^TM^ is managed, every moment crafted by gentle handlers. See these unnatural qualities and weep that you do not possess them.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I must consume more german stuff to build up my vocabulary. Thanks for the suggestion.

[–] killingspark 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Go Back to his Minecraft stuff from like 2013. It's great

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I tried pulling up his youtube (using Grayjay) don't see any old videos. I've also viewed some other youtubers but can't seem to get english subtitles. Though, on big channels like Kurzegsagt in a nutshell, there are subtitles in all sorts of languages

Edit: oh apparently I was on gronkhtv and not gronkh. Still can't get english subtitles though.

[–] killingspark 2 points 3 months ago

Hm yeah I think getting subtitles isn't a thing for this kind of content

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

What OSINT does to a mf

[–] BetaDoggo_@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Most of this seems true (or was at the time) but this is outdated now. Mr. Beast is no longer managed by Night Media.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ESG compliant! Oh no! Only the most…wait, what’s that? Every fucking Fortune 500 company has an ESG program? Oh.

Well, I guess that’s nothing but stupid fucking conspiracy theorist QAnon goof bullshit.

Moving on…

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I just wrote a marketing plan for a company selling ESG data solutions to $1B+ businesses. Its likely going to be a big topic in the coming years.

Of course it's also likely going to be full of bullshit and excuses and weasling out of their responsibilities.

I replied to the wrong guy, sorry.

This is fourteen words

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I think they want Mr. Beast to shit on them.

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Old school YouTubers started and sold Maker Studios. I think ShayCarl, Lisa Nova and Kassam G are some that were part of that.
