[@DogPack404]

Hey thanks for reacting to my video Tom. I was trying to play devils advocate asking him why he didn't just leave because I knew that's what people would say. Jake's a great guy, he was trying to put others before himself, enduring as much torture as possible so the company would have a good video and his friends wouldn't be at risk of losing their jobs. Really tragic, the video idea never should have been green lit in the first place. But the company culture there is if you speak up against your superiors you get reprimanded or fired.

[@EdricheOro]

Great job man

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thanks so much for doing this video and interview. Incredibly well done and in depth. I appreciate the way you handled it and he was very genuine in the interview. I think he’s been taken advantage of, and his history of trauma leads me to believe he was manipulated with money, peer pressure and wanting to help so he wasn’t a disappointment. Would love to talk with you and Jake one day about the mental health fallout after events like this. So sad to see but appreciate you watching my reaction, creating this video and shedding light on a serious issue🙏

[@BS-vm5bt]

Its great that you expose people like mrbeast. I always see dangers when it comes to power concentration/cult of personality. I hope that nightmare ends.

[@TheRealJontayPorter]

Your the man Dogpack. 2nd video was 🔥 and we are all with you and support you. Looking forward to part 3 my man

[@ScáthachAssassin]

Mate, you are a legend. You opened my eyes to look past the good deeds mr beast had done and see what he really is underneath. Stay strong, justice always prevails in the end.

[@JamieVatarga]

This is the best reaction to the interview. So many others reacting are making fun of him for crying and saying it’s acted up for sympathy. To me it feels like a very genuine reaction to retelling a trauma

[@최현빈-s8w]

What kind of psychotic piece of shit looks at this traumatized man and makes fun

[@Someperson1522]

Everyone keeps saying something along the lines and it’s heartbreaking to me The only one that had sympathy was Nuxour surprisingly (but not because from what I’ve seen he’s just an act but a real person, looking at the hate he gets is kind of funny lol)

[@shahrilofficial]

@@Someperson1522Fr.

[@MissusAnon]

Wait people are making fun of him and think it's fake? ...I've literally never watched MrBeast/seen ANY of his crew or former crew, my first impression watching that video with Jake was that I was watching someone BARELY ABLE TO HOLD BACK his emotions! He did NOT want to cry. It seemed far more genuine than any BS I've seen on YT. He stuck to his own experiences and never went into hearsay and would stress if anything was secondhand information, he fully explained the actions and why he was feeling the way he was feeling and exactly what every one of the actions did to f**k him up. It was extremely coherent...

[@JamieVatarga]

@@MissusAnon yeah, different ones have said like, he knew what he was getting into, it’s nothing worse than college pledging, he’s being too soft. There are also a lot who don’t really understand what he’s saying, since they find it boring, and people say to just skip to the last 10 minutes of the whole video for the “good part”

[@e.nordstrom3892]

So much coverage of this, and I keep seeing people talking about Weddle not ”looking credible” due to body language, laughing etc. Feels good seeing someone who actually knows this stuff covering it, since all I could think is that everyting screams anxiety, coping strategies and being on the werge of breaking down. I get really concerned when some influencial people doesn’t seem to be able reading emotional responses like these. Downplaying this is such a hurtful and cruel thing to do when someone’s coping with trauma. Empathy folks, show some.

[@GoosterHiista]

Yeah it's kinda nuts how many comments are saying he is acting or faking. If he was acting, he definitely deserves an Oscar. At first I was like what's this guy's deal? Then when I got the full story I was like damn, this guy was traumatized. You can really see the catharsis in him when he really gets going and it's obvious that he's been living through this whole thing over and over in his head from the way he tells it. The whole thing was really sad but I'm glad he finally got it off his chest and out into the world. Having to keep it secret in fear of getting blacklisted or sued must have been a horrible burden and now that it's partially gone I think he can start healing the actual trauma.

[@e.nordstrom3892]

@@GoosterHiista Yeah, funny thing is everyone talking about him acting and doing this for money never considered why he’s not acting for money if he’s this good. Funny thing is how the people trying to break this down into the components they want to see in someone traumatised have me questioning their emotional authenticity. Humans show affect, emotion and mood, there’s an individual behavioural baseline that give us all our quirks and characteristics that all together forms a genuine response. I get real uneasy when people sit and question why he’s not behaving in a way that probably requires some serious manipulative deceptive skills to pull off. It’s suspicious to me. They engage in the whole “perfect victim” thing, that’s a red flag.

[@SarcAStice]

Knowing people dealing with trauma and dealing with mental health issues in the past myself- if Weedle was faking, then he deserves a flipping Oscar.

[@GoosterHiista]

@@e.nordstrom3892 I guess people ironically expect him to act as if he was in a movie scene to seem genuine. Like a single tear falling down and a slightly strained voice or something. The whole animated and erratic body language, bursts of laughter (not knowing if you want to laugh or cry from the emotions inside), the coping humor, all point to authenticity in my book. I mean I've been in that situation, opening up and finally vocalizing thoughts that have been festering inside for years. It isn't pretty. I generally don't trust people if they look all pretty and presentable with their sob stories unless it's clear that they're mostly over them and not just fishing for sympathy. You can control your emotions to some degree but even that shows with a sort of stiffening when you try to keep them inside despite wanting to cry.

[@jimboakimbo-y4r]

A sibling of mine was graped as a child and my mother believes one of the reasons her grapist got off without charges is because she never cried about it and talked about it very matter of factly and without emotion. There is no one way people react to trauma and believing there is can cause serious harm. Now I still think there needs to be more evidence to corroborate his story, but discounting it because of how emotional he was is not smart.

[@tantohalim]

THANK YOU for vocalizing how much pain he is in. I think a lot of youtubers just missed or even desensitize when they are behind the screen. Jake is is so much pain that it was so hard to watch for me. He laughed, but that is just defensive mechanism, he is depreciating himself. He is crying and everyone made fun of him, but I am not, if someone wants to cry, do it, it is very normal for a HUMAN to cry. Toxic masculinity is bad. This is the first channel after watching like 5-6 others that not even sympathizing about his condition at all.

[@bugyua]

considering how popular squid game was its crazy that nobody took the 'rich people making poor people debase and risk their lives in rigged games for what amounts to pocket change to them is bad actually' message and just saw good content

[@vetreas366]

This is not new. The novel Battle Royale had a similar message, albeit aimed at cruelty for entertainment. The manga made after it (the version I first read) ended with a message that the main character who survived the experience hopes that the watchers (referring to those who watched the in-universe TV show as surrogates for the audience reading) could take their (the victims') struggle to heart and not resort to hurting others for entertainment in the future. What did we do? Well Battle Royale has a manga adaptation that I mentioned, two movies, a stage show and there were talks for an American TV show that kinda died down after Sandy Hook apparently, but really what the hell were they thinking wanting to make a series about teenagers murdering each other for the sick enjoyment of everyone watching them. In the US no less! Talk about tone-deaf. Columbine had already happened by that time, as did the other dozens of school shootings until Sandy Hooke and since then that keep happening in the US so... prolly for the best they stopped before they were called tasteless ghouls. So Battle Royale spawned an entire genre named after it of novels (think Hunger Games and such) and even video games (I don't think I need to name them), and it's not even the first of its type. Point being that we all took a look at a story about senseless killing in the interest of entertainment that specifically said that it hoped reality never gets to that point where cruelty is commodified and we said "THAT'S SOME GOOD SHIT" and turned it into a full genre of entertainment. A failure of messaging at its finest. At least nobody actually got roped into a real-life death game however. So Squid Games had absolutely NO SHOT of not being re-enacted in reality in some way, shape or form. I was honestly just hoping it wouldn't actually lead to people being tortured for money and it would just be pretend-play but here we are!

[@ArenDsiire]

The cynic in me wonders if choosing Jake specifically for such an inhumane challenge wasn't a backhanded form of punishment for daring to ask for more money...

[@ze_SillyBS]

he said that in the video

[@twistysart]

the insane part is jimmy replicated the same video idea of being in solitary confinement except HE was in solitary, he talked about the dangers, he talking about how he's risking his life, he talked about how he had done his research. As a victim of abuse, if i saw that it would bring distraught to me. Poor weddle, i genuinely feel for him. My father was my abuser and he was really good at it. But jimmy is good at it too. Dangling 300k. I'm poor too, i understand weddle, i understand his mental state and how damaged he is.

[@amurphy61497]

I am so grateful that your channel exists. I found it because of this drama but I am so excited to see a mental health professional looking at what happened to Mr. Weddle and talking about how bad that was to his mental health. People are screaming about the possible PDF file, but they are ignoring the blatant torture of this man. I hope he can get the help you suggested, and I am so glad you are looking at this. Also, I want to tell you that Jake put out a video of his own in which his own mother talks about his mental state after that time and it makes me cry. You might want to look at his video as well. Just a suggestion. You have more than earned my sub and I will be looking at more. THANK YOU!

[@Ashlyy__0]

I just want to give this guy a hug. It breaks my heart when he breaks down. Mr Beast is trash

[@rakantopinibl5736]

Yeah. I had to pause multiple times while watching the interview and do something else.

[@avocado1845]

I liked MrBeast quite a lot before all this, but whenever the emotional moments came up in videos it just felt wrong. When he would say “Oh my gosh, you’re gonna make me cry” and he touches his eye with no tears in sight and a fake smile plastered on his face you could tell he was faking it for the camera. It always made me uncomfortable but I never thought much about it until now

[@dellirious13]

Honestly, a lot of times in this interview, Jake's reactions while telling what happened (and reliving it) were very similar to Robin Williams more...off times. Visible PTSD and visible coping mechanism of dark comedy being used to mask major discomfort in having to talk about what happened. I really hope his therapist(s) are doing their best to work through the PTSD and give him coping mechanisms to positively destress triggering times and situations. Drugs can help, but positive psychological coping mechanisms (and of course as you said, continued therapy) are so much better in these types of situations.

[@CP-jk8nm]

When I watched that video and saw how he was recounting his experience, it reminded me of my own painful memories. I reacted similarly-while sharing my story, I would go off on tangents, then laugh bitterly, and eventually cry, only to return to telling my story in a detached fashion. From someone else's perspective, I probably appeared weird.

[@cynxmanga]

Maybe I'm quite traumatized by my own life events as well bc to me his behavior looks like totally typical to someone who tries to cope. Being all over the place, laughing-crying and like you say, trying to deattach himself from the story.

[@artisticbunny3987]

Same! I had an extremely hard childhood and a lot of mental abuse from others later on and I could see the pain in this guy. People saying it’s fake obviously don’t understand PTSD or real mental health breakdowns, because it was real. It felt real.

[@TrkJustin]

Recounting traumatic experienced while composed and in control of yourself is weird. Its normal to have trouble expressing yourself

[@currencysociety]

This has to be the absolute best coverage of this interview on KZbin. Wow…

[@panaleksander13]

Bad news is, it only gets worse

[@cynxmanga]

You can just HEAR and SEE how much he hates Jimmy, how bitter he is whenever he mentions him. Totally understandable

[@brkmfk3200]

Mr beast got so much dirt on him he really could run for president now

[@ARandomAccountYT]

😂😂😂

[@stargazerkawaii]

If they guy had been on a normal video competition and failed to make it through to the end. I understand only paying for what he earned. This wasn't a normal video. They tortured this guy. No sleep and lights on for days. Then, after days of that treatment, when he is clearly mentally unwell, they make him run a marathon?!?! I don't know if someone can make a proper decision at that stage of the process. Then he gives up, blisters, and mentally unsound needing medical help. But he wasn't there for the full time, so he didn't deserve the full payout, only what he "earned." It's sickening.

[@bugyua]

exactly!! he didnt 'lose' the challenge so he should've earned the full amount (or at least something more as compensation). the challenge was poorly designed torture and the team in charge should've acknowledged and paid the amount he was promised. there was no way for him to win this...

[@stargazerkawaii]

@@bugyua They should have paid him more than agreed on if not as some kind of apology or compensation then at least as hush money.

[@bugyua]

@@stargazerkawaii at least medical costs (physical and mental). sending him off like that when so many people on-site were saying he was being harmed... its a bit absurd to me. wouldn't you want him to have no complaints about you at all if you've just tortured him for days on end? id be paying him double the prize money at that point out of guilt... its not like the crew couldn't afford it

[@ridgethompson]

He seems like a sociopath. Usually when people get that much money and fame that quick they become sociopaths

[@stephenwildt4408]

So everyone who watches the videos as well must be sociopaths as well because they watch these videos as a form of entertainment. The same videos the people AGREED to do and couldve left at any point by free will.

[@gi-go8575]

He seems to be ignorant to me. He cares about KZbin and he knows everything there is to know about KZbin. But how his challenges affect mental health of people he dosen't quite get.

[@abbylafey]

​@@gi-go8575that's the sociopath part. People are supposed to have a sense of empathy that makes it difficult or impossible for them to straight up torture someone for profit and then not worry about their health otherwise. There's a reason why so many sociopaths are politicians and lawyers and why many are rich. Sociopaths are laser focused on their own growth and are manipulative and cunning enough to take advantage of people in any way they feel they can get away with doing it. Hence why they tend to get rich within this capitalist framework we've built.

[@AJ-zv9tn]

No such thing as fast money. Always understand that rule

[@Cripplified]

People don't become sociopaths because of money and fame, it's more so that sociopaths are willing to do highly sociopathic and immoral things to obtain the money and fame they desire. Sociopathy is a personality disorder, yes money and fame can make it worse, but the disorder to manipulate people and fake emotions is something that starts at a young age.

[@Kraziidrac]

When they deprived that worker of sleep, they legit committed a war crime. 😮

[@dml1765]

Of all the folks covering this (and there are plenty), I think I've come to like your coverage the most. Looking forward to your final thoughts in part 3.

[@danusorn8655]

I swear you give a normal person this video and they give you a typical reaction to Jake’s emotional moments, but then you see people where you really see how they can’t seem to get his emotions like they can’t understand him. That gives me the ick.

[@bluewingedchaoscat]

That laughter and use of words is a coping mechanism. Better to try and make light of it than someone cry or be outraged on your behalf. Because if you don't suppress the emotions they come out and there will be no end in sight.

[@stargazerkawaii]

The no doesn’t mean no content is also a problem if it was the same way they dealt with the people they filmed. If they are purposefully pushing, manipulating, and pressuring people to do more for the video, like the guy in this video, that's a big problem.

[@cynxmanga]

Can we just stop and think for a bit about the fact that they thought locking someone like this was a great idea for a video FOR KIDS??? Like, is it only me who thinks this is just mindblowingly evil in general???

[@frosty_liquid]

I have read "The R*p* of the Mind" By Joost Meerloo.... My heart sank when this video got to the topic of not turning off the lights. Very dark stuff

[@how2pick4name]

After watching A LOT of info on this in the last week from sources nobody seems to notice It is my opinion that Jake got lured back in to be tortured because J hates him. He seems to be a bit of a sadist from what I see. Also mommy controls everything. Literally everything.

[@Andy-v5v8x]

Yeah I thought that it was an opportunity to bully him

[@piotrswat169]

[@ABagelLeftOnTheRoadside]

Dude better help is sketchy af

[@brittanyparistx]

Is Mr beast sadistic? I asked myself that quite a bit after dogpack’s 1st video……….now I’m REALLY asking myself and thinking he legit might be sadistic. It’s the enjoying filming ppl suffering. a person who derives pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from inflicting pain or humiliation on others.

[@charlesm.2604]

I don't think he derives any emotion from it to be honest just flat out none. I think he's so locked into "having the best analytics", "biggest growth", "best sales", etc. that he's actually just completely insensitive to how the content he produces affects people. The thought that this guy was a human getting tortured probably didn't cross his mind *NOT EVEN ONCE* while he would go on site to shoot his daily scene. That's far more sinister and dangerous in my opinion. If MrBeast's channel would had seen better results if he "turned 1000 people blind" instead of "curing 1000 people of blindness", I guarantee you he would have considered making that video instead. It's just power hunger, that's how I felt for the last 2-3 years whenever I heard him talk in podcasts and interviews, that's where his mindset is. As soon as he starts talking business he lets the emotions out of the conversation, which wouldn't be problematic for most people but it suddenly becomes the biggest red flag ever when your business is all about coercing people to go through intense physical and mental challenges for money.

[@vetreas366]

Above is correct imo. Man is either unable to empathize or he leaves it at the door the moment it becomes about getting views or likes. I don't follow him but I do know that there are early videos of him basically trying to learn how to manipulate the algorithm which are weird, but they suggest to me that what he eventually settled on was just what he found was most successful. He gives not so other people can have, it's so he can receive fame and praise. As Jake mentioned, giving to a single person is not real charity if you film yourself, post it and then gain millions either in direct revenue or attention/fame. Calling him content-brained is letting him off mildly. I don't know Jimmy Donaldson, but he doesn't seem like a good person to me. A good person doesn't have only morals, they have a conscience. Going to someone who is unable to sleep and getting them to run a marathon for content are not the actions of a good person. Maybe a good person wouldn't be able to notice that what they were doing was wrong because they were hyper-fixated, that is only human. A good person would not then go and give him only what he earned after the dude almost lost his mind during his video's production. Jake also mentions that he thought Jimmy was going to say that he hopes Jake doesn't "sue" but honestly I'd be surprised if he wasn't going to say "suicide" because Jimmy has good lawyers, and Jake has no way to compete in that arena especially since his participation was voluntary and he could leave at any time. But "suicide" would leave an indelible mark on the MrBeast brand and no amount of lawyers could wash that stain out. And Jimmy? Jimmy seems WAY more interested in preventing reputational damage than financial one.

[@brittanyparistx]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@charlesm.2604definitely agree that’s his goal. Absolutely. No secret. But there weren’t metrics with Jake. There was just footage that editors and presumably Mr beast were watching. The editors weren’t enjoying it…….they were raising concern. That’s why I think Mr. Beast had to have been enjoying it to continue while people were encouraging him to end this “challenge.” But….also….. can’t you just see Jimmy in a dark room on his laptop watching Jake thank him for paying off his student loans and just smirking like an evil villain. I can. It tracks.

[@brittanyparistx]

@@charlesm.2604really good points from both of y’all. I guess I have such a hard time wrapping my mind around how someone couldn’t realize what’s happening to Jake…… I just can’t accept that someone could do that to another person and be oblivious to the impact. Like how? He’s telling them he’s miserable and not well and Jimmy keeps going……ugh….. Whatever it is - he’s gross.

I've been watching you since the start of your Juice Journey and this was not expected but definitely a great choice for a vid

[@liz_lore]

Thanks for covering this. I agree that his trauma from this has long-term implications and that he still needs help and healing. I had PTSD from a hostile workplace that I started recovering from more than a decade ago. A couple years after my PTSD diagnosis, I developed fibromyalgia (this happens a lot after trauma). I still suffer from fibromyalgia and it really limits my quality of life, even though my mental health is better. The body keeps the score, for real. 😢 I hope this guy can get the healing he needs and I hope he knows how brave it was of him to speak up about this.

[@liz_lore]

p.s. - I love that you mentioned he needs EMDR as part of his mental health treatment plan. I did EMDR with my therapist and it definitely helped. I also did group therapy and individual therapy. I doubt Better Help can offer anywhere near the level of treatment he needs to fully recover. I was lucky to have health insurance cover it, though. He may not have that good of coverage, if any at all. Sad.

[@omalleycaboose5937]

He was fired from being a writer, but still came back as a person in videos when asked, people in videos arent all employees, a lot of people are collabed with.

[@blackpanther3912]

Jake Weddle has his own KZbin channel he has posted on since this came out. There are videos there you may want to react to.

[@rosericci1896]

I know some people said that he seems to be playing it up for sympathy, and in all honesty I felt a little iffy about the way he acted too. Come to think of the way he was acting the entire time, it seems to just be part of his personality. He just seems to be an exaggerated emotion kinda person. I've been around those kind of people before and it is something you definitely have to get used to, but I do think he is telling the truth.

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

I'm only halfway through the video so far, I don't really know if you piece this out together later, so to maybe clarify Weddle's side a bit? The company was becoming a bit phony with their videos, and he found the constant camera pointing at poor people odd, and also the weird salaries and company politics, but that was it in Jake's mind up to that point, Mr. Beast and co was a bit weird, maybe suspicious, but they weren't an outright terrible company to work for in his eyes yet. Also he didn't willingly leave the company he was fired, he was let go by the company, and yes he was happy to leave, but he's also in need of money and that's why he was "hoping" to get invited to a video again, he wanted to be part of them for the money because they weren't completely terrible yet or so he thought.

[@stargazerkawaii]

There's a difference between working for someone long hours for little pay. And working as a talent in front of the camera for a ton of money. He may have thought the camera role was exploitative but fair to a degree that was separate from how workers were treated behind the scenes.

[@CasmsVR]

Squid games got real, reaaal quick.

[@lich109]

A thing I think we're overlooking in regards to why Weddle kept up public appearances is that he's a stand up comic. Mr. Beast videos would be a great reference for him to use so even if he hated his time there (before the solitary confinement), he would want to pretend it was good for his other career, and it would be a good reason to do extra stuff with them after (even aside from the extra money).

[@rakantopinibl5736]

3:05 I don’t like to assume about you but if you had it easy in life you can speak like that. When you are not financially covered you will accept anything even a bad workplace environment just to pay the bills, food and gas in your car and hoping one day you'll have it better so in the meantime you have to suck it up and sawllow your pride. I don't know it makes sense to me, no need to have a degree to understand why Jake went back to that hellhole 🙄😒

I always felt like there was somethinf off about Mr. Beast. There is a difference between nice and kind and a lot of the most charitable people want to go unrecongized and unnamed. I am not sure why if youre doing something charitable you cannot do it in silence. If you're not looking to get anything out of it then why talk about it and put it on youtube. Seems like Beast wants to have people praise him

[@shacklferd77]

@@ThatSharkGirl that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying to just stop using better help not telling people to not find help, of course find help just don't use better help and when you do find help look it up on Google or somewhere so you can see if they will actually help you or are they just trying to get your money and pretend to help you.

@@mixxisom Uhh what? My comment is literally saying that it’s better to give people a place to seek therapy (other than better help) than to just tell people not to seek therapy. For example, you should try Talkspace.

[@ThatSharkGirl]

@@mixxisom You should seek help from AmWell, they focus on providing help, and patient privacy. Not only is that an example of what I meant, but also a suggest. I think you should seek help.

Going back - other than the money, which when you make your living like Jake does is genuinely life-or-death sometimes these days - is also analogous to people returning to abusive relationships. Jimmy has a huge amount of power in the industry Jake works in; easily enough to blacklist him, especially back then. When a man with that much power and reach and money comes knocking at your door with hundreds of thousands of dollars and the opportunity of a lifetime (a solo Beast video) saying "no" isn't really an option.

[@MadAdam93]

that's a coping mechanism laugh for sure

Have you seen any of the videos Jake has made since this interview about mental health? They're really good and funny and raw.

What a nice video with a nice therapists. Wish i had a nice therapist. Altho i don't deserve one.

[@TheSmiesko]

Maybe you don't deserve, however I am quite sure that high quality therapist do benefit us all. I would like to have a world, where all professionals are respectful and good in general. :) Wish you a strong will to face your issues. :) be blessed.

[@ReeCrowsFray]

I tried EMDR for months and had only a couple sessions that felt like something was shifting. It was online so I think that has a lot to do with. But can see a ton of benefits to it. Also, maybe there’s people who have buried feelings so far that it may take longer 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@leavesofthetreehealing3211]

When I first saw the video (that you're reacting to), I thought Mr. Beast comes off as a sadist.

[@LiftandCoa]

3:00 I think he tries to explain the timeline where he did go from employment at Mr. Beast to being a freelancer occasionally hired by Mr. Beast. And this is just a money decision - as the actual really bad stuff that was happening (not a payment dispute) didnt even happen

[@redRuxx]

[@brittanyparistx]

I think he went back because he also wanted the FAME. Not just the money but the opportunity to be seen by a large audience.

[@panaleksander13]

thats not a hot take, he doesnt try to cover up the fact pług and screen time would be big for him, but what exactly does it change?

[@bugyua]

? for a stand up comedian and youtuber, attention is money. of course he'd try to stay in the scene or he wouldn't be able to feed himself. he admits to that too so you're not cracking anything open here

[@stargazerkawaii]

There's a big difference between not wanting to work for a guy who overwork and under pays behind the scenes and working in front of the camera big rewards. I don't get how that's hard to understand.

[@brittanyparistx]

@@panaleksander13😂 true. I was answering the therapist when he was questioning Why on earth would someone wanna go back after all that he had already been through… IDK why I decided to comment, but I did.

@@belladonna1475 I mean, Epstein donated millions of dollars to charity, and to universities. Hitler built the Autobahn and enacted the first animal welfare laws in Germany, he also wrote policies that supported families in need…… but, that doesn’t make them good people. Also, good people do good things when no one is looking. Good people don’t exploit less fortunate minorities for KZbin clicks or need to tell millions of people how good they are.

Jimmy is prolly moving heaven and earth to get rid of all proof and footage. Records etc. I mean he's been stealth editing over 100 videos and Dawson said they keep all footage if someone got it before they deleted it maybe they can have a case

[@WildaLeamman]

He (Jake) had a picture of himself in the room? He had text messages about the incident with someone from years ago? He was crying talking about it. This isn’t “spreading ideas”, this is a person giving their story. Not to mention Mr. Beast would obviously destroy any evidence. Unless your talking about something else, then it that case, sorry.

I agree tom, I wonder if the contestants have had a mental evaluation.. I struggle to feel sorryfor someone that made over 100k for less than a month. I’m not saying I agree with it all. I don’t know, I’m mixed about it all

[@Alex-vm6ef]

When you are in significant debt and getting that money is digging you out of a hole, you'll do things you wouldn't normally do + possibly be taken advantage of despite your final position not being rich/comfortable (bc all the money went to debt) As well, the money he made was basically decided after the fact and more than what was agreed to ahead of time. That shows that they knew they messed up and wanted to protect themselves by buttering him up or being able to point to the money given as if it absolves the wrongdoing. He also discussed multiple other factors that contributed to how he was kinda coerced into it.

[@stargazerkawaii]

The additude that it's okay to torture people for profit as long as you pay them for it? No more than what they "earned" of course, because they knew ahead of time they would suffer from insomnia and mental health issues from the trauma.
