YouTuber MrBeast has issued an apology after his ‘MrBeast Experience’ at a Las Vegas resort did not live up to the billing.
The event at Resorts World Las Vegas was advertised as an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience that included exclusive games, a MrBeast-themed menu and mystery bags thought to contain limited edition merch, including one with a $10,000 (£7,550) gift voucher.
Instead, the guests camped out in their hotel rooms waiting days for their bags to arrive. And when they did, the guests were underwhelmed.
“I was told to wait in my room for two days for a package to come, so I legit spent two days in my room for a package to come, and it was a box of chocolates,” Ms Metta said.
Several users said on social media that they received T-shirts in different sizes, which could be purchased for $9 (£7) online.
Go away trash man.
I really hate this guy’s face
It’s the soulless eyes that creep me out
The sad thing is, once he really hit it big, he could have just done good will stuff and kept the money fucking rolling in.
He didn’t have to do * emotions to all of everything * this.
He could have hired a PR firm and a capable management staff, still had fun circle jerking his friends but actually be a positive force for society.
Everybody he has running the show is under educated, incapable, and unashamed of all this.
With that kind of money he should have a office building full of people working this shit out.
there’s no way this dude hasn’t hired a PR firm and management consultants. this is just the brand image he has now. remember that this dude used to make videos like counting to a thousand.
dude got a firm to tell him he’s Willy Wonka and now he has another firm sculpting that image for him behind the scenes. Mr beast and his crew are just the front end operations that can’t manage to stop fucking up on their own right.
The ghost kitchen venture and the chocolate venture were handled by external companies certainly It was just one of those slap your name on this thing.
But look deeper into the mismanagement of the events and the videos. Especially the last couple Vegas stints. Any event company would have had the first responders properly lined up and dangers managed. Especially in Vegas they do this kind of shit all the time.
Every single off the wall of event that he stages is just poorly managed. When people start asking questions and pointing fingers it ends up with him and his actual crew. There aren’t any adults in the room.
no, they absolutely have teams and teams of suits working for them. people who get blamed are just the front end of the company, but this guy absolutely has a whole back office working for him.
Mr Beast is the quintessential example of someone who defines themselves by their unfathomable success, attributing it to their unique work-ethic and dedication, and then collapses under the weight of their impossibly large ego
I could cook a turkey on the heat of this burn.
Thank you.
Ready to stop hearing about this dork
I have never watched a single video of his.
I never want to do it either.
He was in a video I watched once. I don’t remember the whole context, something to do with how he was so successful at working YT’s algorithm. Had never heard of the guy before then, and all of the content samples they showed were braindead nothingburgers.
I think it was a veritasium video. I know because it’s also the only time I’ve seen that dork on camera.
If he pops up in a video of a channel I like, instantly thumbs down and block the video. Not rewarding that chode.
This tracks with my viewing habits, thanks!
I blocked his ass on my kids YouTube but I can’t block it on his friends YouTube. I just point out how creepy and weird he is.
Yeah, I have no idea who he is.

Judging by how Americans vote, this guy will be president within the next twenty years.
We’ve already reached the point where only billionaires or celebrities can be candidates, extra points if they’re both. Kim Kardashian stands a better chance of being the first woman president over Harris, AOC, Warren, or any other qualified woman.
Shut your dirty fucking mouth
They hated him because he told the truth

Lol nice try. I think you could probably do a better job misrepresenting my arguments next time though.
Either that, or brush up a bit on cause and effect.
How many alts do you have?
And who the fuck is “person prole”?
No alts. One and the same.
Sorry for not posting reference.
Here you go https://lemmy.world/comment/16421833
You may be projecting. I see your alt is upvoting your ridiculously bitter comments everywhere. Time to take a break from Lemmy Person Prole.
Thanks for providing context so anyone who comes across this can see how ridiculous you look right now.
Maybe don’t link to a comment mid-convserarion though.
I know having someone challenge your beliefs can be tough, but following them around on a web forum is a strange way of coping. You are behaving in a very odd way.
If you actually want to talk through the crisis you’re having, I’m here. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you stopped wasting my time.
Enjoy your weekend.
Buddy, I’m not following you around. I’m casually perusing Lemmy. Look at your comment history, shitposting and being a bitter salty contrarian is your full time job here, which I didnt know, hence my surprise to run into you again.
You’re not here. None of your comments - to me or others - display any kind of willingness to listen or openness to other people’s viewpoints. You never respond to people’s points, just talk over them, so carry on. You’re making Lemmy look busy and a valid alternative to Reddit lurkers, and provide downvotable content, so I’m grateful for your contributions either way.
Funny you say that, he publicly announced that he’ll run for president in the future
That’s the only possible upside to the nation sinking into a dictatorship, at least we’ll never have a duly elected President Beast… Silver linings and whatnot.
Max Headroom was about a society that decided their elections via tv ratings. We’re kinda already there.
This, totally this. I hate America for spreading their empty vapid ideas over the world
Calm down satan.
President of whatever remains of the US, that is.
Hey congrats to Mrbeast on being the 3rd mutant president of the United States of smoldering craters!
if you go to these or you let your children go, you deserve to get scammed, which is probably also Donaldson’s point of view. No respect for that guy btw, but I doubt he has little of it for himself either.
Who the hell cares about this random streamer.
Exactly. Paying 1000 dollars to see some scripted asshole is not how I would like to live. If was rich and had dumb kids that idolized him I would disable their internet access.
“grifter”. it’s nice to know who’s going to take advantage of you
isn’t he one of the most popular youtubers? idk, I keep hearing about him so he’s probably not ‘random’
I don’t know and don’t follow YouTube reality stars.
Any popular YouTuber is a random
what even is random
Fire skates plural when the glurp-spasm phrenolactates slug bottoms.
DISCLAIMER: don’t quote me on this, I could be off by a cloff-shnort or seven.
umbode, the pleurven merci baucoop :)
God damn, almost instinctually downvoted this post because I saw his face
Y’know, the thing about him, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.
Dead eyes.
His smile NEVER reaches them. He’s such a grifter
He never figured out how to fake a smile. He knows a smile means moving the corners of the mputh up and showing some teeth, but his eyes remain dead and uncaring.
And him photoshopping every thumbnail to be overly saturated and bright with smoothed out skin doesn’t help.
He should shave his beard and get a slick back.
MrBeast themed menu? Like a bunch of moldy lunchly?
Thing is this isn’t the first time. He did more challenges with awards but once the video was done he took up and left off. Smiling to the bank with that uncanny valley expression.
Who wore it best?
Uncle Bob was far more convincing.
“Uncle Bob…? Ok!”
“Pitcher of tequila woman! Let’s dust off the firearms…”
He’s not sorry for anything honestly. He will continue to do bs like because of this fans. It maybe funny and cringe now but it will be interesting if he tries to run for office or alines with a political party. “ hey guys I just bought an election!”
Clearly, no one’s read Transmetropolitan lately.
how I wish the Republicans stayed in their reservations…
Frankly? The problem is, they do stay in those pens/pastures/suburban/semi-rural “communities” (straight-up engineered for their smooth, barely-verbal brains), and their minders know exactly where, when, and how to rustle 'em, as it were.
A metaphorical herd of cattle can be many things, including a gawdamned stampede.
What they’ll never be in the eyes of those in charge of them, though? Human.
Giving Fyre Festival a run for its money.
My hopes for world evolution are dashed when I see people still falling for this stupid shit every day.
I hate influencers too so I get it, but I figure its mostly kids and young adults who grew up watching him, so I put the blame more on the systems and communities they grew up in.
Those kids should have been protected by say… A strong consumer protections board, or parents controlling their screen time & curating their viewing, government banning phones at school, or outright banning social media for kids, or a quality education teaching them media literacy - but all of those things are demonized as bad things that those socialist European countries have.
or parents controlling their screen time & curating their viewing
Ironically, one of the people who attended went with their mother.
