MrBeast fans demand answers as YouTuber uploads new videos and ignores allegations

Despite major controversy surrounding MrBeast and the working conditions in his company, the YouTuber has chosen to continue releasing videos and proceed with the launch of his toy brand.

The video, “7 Days Stranded In A Cave” features MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, on an expedition through caves in New Zealand. It reached 10 million views in less than 3 hours and Despite dissenting comments and some negative sentiments on social media, the YouTuber continued with his business as usual.

This latest video does not address the controversy, nor does it address it in any way – much to the chagrin of those who were hoping the creator would officially address it.

Instead, the MrBeast upload consisted entirely of his cave adventure and a short cutscene promoting his toy brand, MrBeast Labs.

Meanwhile, viewers claim that the YouTuber is deleting comments about the controversy surrounding him and his company.

Similar claims have been made about his previous video “Survive 100 Days In Nuclear Bunker”, as It came out, and footage of viewers going through his comments on the cave video closely resembles the way comments were allegedly deleted on the last video.

“What happened to this kind-hearted, genuine and down to earth guy just feels dystopian,” claimed the Twitter/X user.

Aside from these two videos and the Instagram posts promoting them, Jimmy has remained silent since confirming a third-party investigation into his company's practices on July 22, 2024.

However, MrBeast has since spoken to some of his employees and those who have made allegations against him.

Ludwig contacted him to end a sponsorship of Feastables, a decision he said was made “mutually” between the two creators. The YouTuber also claimed he would not work with MrBeast again until he responded to the allegations.

Jake Weddle has made the same claim several times and admitted it when he refused a payment of $190,000 and an apology from the inventor himself.

Weddle expects Donaldson to remain silent until Dogpack's third video, which he believes will contain allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace, is released.

Given this additional context, MrBeast's silence on the allegations against him is understandable, but viewers still expected the YouTuber to at least acknowledge what was going on.
