    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

      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.

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

      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.

    Most of this seems true (or was at the time) but this is outdated now.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

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

    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.

      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.

        His charity work while mostly good is purposely misleading, makes kids believe all his money for those videos is coming from YouTube/sponsors when I’d wager the majority of it is coming from his branded merch and those that sign up and pay for the chance to be in his videos. Like playing the lottery with extra steps. Could be worse sure, but his base largely doesn’t understand how it works.

          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.
