MrBeast Did Nothing Wrong LOL [OP-ED]
Added 2024-08-15 16:07:58 +0000 UTCThis is my OP-ED on the recent MrBeast drama and allegations. I don't think MrBeast's career is gonna be touched by any of this. There will be promises made, some things may change, but MrBeast is just too big fail. Perhaps the first creator who is truly untouchable and is the powerful person on this platform.

The Linus Tech Tips situations is similar to this IMO:

Well, I can't say the love for money, fame, and the ability to take advantage of someone elses need isn't evil.
