MrBeast. now his cool, philanthropic facade has crumbled, but before he even created it, he made edgy "jokes" about buying Black people…

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

I mean in a year or so I'm sure the US will allow people "rent" prisoners and some of them will even be locally sourced!

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that's the typical chain gang type labor that we've always allowed. But I'm pretty sure a random citizen can't just rent a single person atm. And it's not going to be retail or office jobs. Who wouldn't want their own prison "secretary".

Like many others, I've always felt he was fake and so were his videos. Was not surprised when all the crap about him and his rigged contests came to light.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Does somebody have a source for / link to the drama? I know the guy and have seen a couple of videos, but the fakeness tuned my off too.

But my YouTube frontage was full of him and still is.

Look up the guy who made "actual cannibal Shia Labeouf"... Interesting transition there too

[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

All I’m finding is he used to be in Tally Hall?

Edit: Oooh I misunderstood, thought you meant before he did ACSLB.

[-] WR5@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I loved Tally Hall. I used to listen to Ruler of Everything on repeat.

Nooo, nooo, not gonna. No.

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 55 points 2 weeks ago

TLDR: I'm pretty sure he went on to write music for kids TV shows because that's what he wanted to do. Pretty wholesome.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 weeks ago

Brutalmoose, but ten years ago. He went from shitting on mediocre games and swearing a lot to super chill stuff and food reviews. I actually love all of his new stuff.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago

I live for his current content! Edgy jokes & constant swearing to thrift store journeys & food discoveries. Absolutely love it!

He was actually how I discovered the Cosmic Crisp & sparked my love for it. (:

[-] ogeist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

His editor skills are top notch

No shit? I had no clue. I'll have to check out that toxicity. I've always enjoyed his chill vibe and excellent editing since his food reviews and other projects.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The montageparodies of food reviews.

I was gonna say Joji, but yes, call him by his real name.

[-] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh my god..I did not put two and two together. I can't believe I never realised JOJI was filthy frank.

[-] match@pawb.social 15 points 2 weeks ago

it's kinda funny thinking about how gamegrumps once upon a time had JonTron instead of Dan Avidan

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 14 points 2 weeks ago

The first one to come to mind is Blippi.

[-] Codename_goose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I have to know more about this. Care to point me in the right direction?

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 weeks ago

Before becoming the Blippi character he made low-brow gross-out videos under the pseudonym Steezy Grossman.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Look, we've all done things we've come to regret. Who here hasn't publicly broadcast videos of themselves defecating on a so-called "friend" for no compensation whatsoever save imaginary fame?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

publicly ... for no compensation

That's what makes it weird. Who just GIVES that kind of gold away?

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I've never actually seen the video before until now. You can tell what it is by the url. NSFW

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

That’s absolutely incredible.

The artist’s rendition in the Buzzfeed article is also choice.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

SSSniperWolf. Holy shit, she was brutal on Omegle telling kids to off themselves & shit. But then she started stealing content, so...

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 11 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget doxxing.

She also has a criminal record for armed robbery. So there's that too. She's always liked a bit of thievery.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The situation with Jacks Films was so fucked up. She literally showed up at his house to try to talk to him about his call out videos.

YouTube seemed more likely to punish Jacks Films. They basically “both sided” the incident. Absolutely insane. She’s just making YouTube too much money for any of the rules to matter.

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 weeks ago

Tell me about it. Dude was in fear for his safety and YouTube are like, jacksfilms was bad too! Eff you, Google. He did nothing wrong.

His jjjacksfilms channel doesn't show up in the search bar, which is really weird given it's a big channel. It's like YouTube doesn't want you to find him criticising their little cash cows. Stalkerwolf is invincible.

YouTube is properly messed up. It's basically a monopoly though. People won't post elsewhere if they can't monetise though 😞 a fedi YouTube alternative will never catch on. At this point I'd even welcome Microsoft or scamazon creating a rival service.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

I’m so pissed that the quest girl in the new Monster Hunter looks like her.

[-] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

There is at least a claim that she told a 16yo to flash herself on Omegle in a video.

Apparently she deleted the video in question.

Michael here.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Pewdiepie went one bridge too far

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's not exactly the same, and it's been a long time now, but watching Grace Helbig go from DailyGrace with a vaguely male-catering focus and general no fucks given attitude into becoming Grace Helbig, Internet Big Sister for zoomer girls, was pretty jarring.

Riolu

But I only know that because of Wirtual's latest documentary

[-] Kwdg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

But isn't that the opposite? Though I watched Lars' reaction and he actually said that Riolu became less edgy when his streaming took off

[-] Oka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

He became more marketable, but his personal choices were edgy

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I actually miss the humor that stemmed from an environment where everything was assumed a joke unless it's missing a punchline. Not the racism/sexism/etc, which was prevalent of the time it became popular, but the style. The edgy style can be done really well (e.g. Bo Burnham, George Carlin, etc...).

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

blippy with his shit harlem shake video

and i mean literal shit from a butt

[-] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mumbo jumbo

[-] Elkot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You kids with your YouTubers, in my day we had blip.tv and TheSpoonyOne to be disappointed in
