It's very good that you are making your stance clear on this. Just as you've made it clear in the past.

You should (and are) making it clear that you do not condone this type of behaviour and that these unhinged people are not part of your community. But that really is as far as you can go. You cannot make these crazy people stop. If you feel responsible for how every person on the internet acts towards a person after you've publicly criticized them then you might as well stop making content because this is not going to be healthy for you. Nuance is so quickly lost that you just need to accept that the whole take away some people are going to get from your video is "this person bad" and that's it. They will forgot everything you've said before and after that point. In the example you gave where someone clearly did not listen to the caveat you gave in your criticism it is very possible that person have not even watched your video but just seen out of context clips of your content from tik tok or other sources. This part of the discourse is entirely out of your control. Again I like how you're publicly messaging on this and you should keep doing it. But please do not feel responsible for these crazy people and do not feel you need to apologize on their behalf. Because if you do then you are inhabiting a position where you cannot criticize people ever. Just keep being clear with what you mean and that these people are not part of your community.

100% agree. Please consider this though when it comes to people being harassed in person. The people that have scammed others have already painted a target on their back.

Again not condoning their actions, but if you play that game with enough people, you're bound to have crossed someone unhinged, or someone who is at the edge of what they can handle because of their circumstances. The second part to this is, if they're already getting harassed and a video comes out that they shines a light on all the shady stuff they've done, for the world to see. Probably one of the worst things to happen to them so far (barring jail). Of course they'd be trying to say it's all come about because of your video and make you feel bad.

Meanwhile, they are supposed to be untouchable, all that while perhaps doing even more awful stuff... Mob justice is not justice, but it dissipates somewhat that aura of "untouchability".

People in general don't understand the instruction of NOT doing a thing, it's a "don't think about the red elephant in the room". My suggestion for that is the "additive conditional" - approach of discouraging of action, like "If you do _anything_ to this person, even simple things like contacting them, you are a _bad human_™, maybe even worse than them." Do this X → you are like Y. (Usually something bad, but this can be used for positive things also) That seems to map so much better for humans to understand in general.

The internet can be an angry mob at times. The larger they get, the crazier they get. It’s unavoidable at times.

[@charlessweeney2460]

Got it. Never did it. But understood. This shouldn't be an issue, but I understand why you had to say it.

[@champabay4746]

JUST TELL US WHO TO BE MAD AT!!!!

[@Itsmez_]

You cant help with human stupidity. If people are conserned what people say to them they should not get involved into these shady situations in first place. Youre doing good work with exposing these things, its not your fault that people are stupid and goes after them

Waking up to a new void video means that it’s going to be a good day

[@bsbs9073]

Yes, MrBeast has leveraged his charity as part of his brand, much like how some churches use Christianity to solicit donations and enrich themselves. Pointing out these patterns is entirely fair-it’s simply addressing the obvious. As for accusations tied to actions others take, it's crucial to clarify: referencing what someone said and choosing to act on it is not the same as being instructed or ordered to do so. The responsibility lies with those individuals, not with the person whose words they misinterpreted or misused. Even in extreme cases-like if someone watched your video and committed a violent act against MrBeast-you wouldn't be culpable for their actions unless you explicitly encouraged or directed it. Blaming someone for actions they neither intended nor endorsed is both illogical and unjust. By that logic, anyone could commit a crime and pin the blame on a public figure, a president, or a CEO, claiming, "They inspired me." Should those figures be held accountable for actions they never endorsed? Of course not. That’s an absurd standard, and we all know it.

Coffee Zillow would be corrupt if he could. It's just luck of circumstances.

[@ChattieCathie]

I feel for you. My advice would be to do whats right. Try not to think of what might happen. Its not your fault.

[@RappingManualYT]

People who do it - won't listen. People who won't do it - don't need to be told not to do it.

[@taylorwolf7958]

Man with a chemical engineering degree who makes financial exposes talking about how people should stay in their lane and leave investigations to law enforcement. Got it. Would never dream of vigilante type behaviors on this channel.

[@angelbbva3135]

I knew something like this was going to happen when I saw the Mr. Beast name on your video and all the views

[@Nib_Nob-t7x]

Honestly I think if you put a one to two minute section talking about how people harassing him doesn’t help kinda like what you said at 4:00 to 5:00. It could help prevent people a bit more than just saying hey don’t harass this person.

[@Likeyacutg01]

Huh? I don't know if you just sound like a dick in this message your trying to convey or you are one the whole point of the video is discouraging people from needless harassment 💀

[@joshdw4]

The fact you care is what makes you different. Don't lose that, but also don't let it consume you (how's that for nuance, heh). As long as you move forward keeping an eye and placing the appropriate warnings/caveats, i think you're good. What I don't think you should do is pull content. I want the nuance and complex topics. Bookend them with "please don't" or "here's something you can do", but still move forward. Being aware of how you impact people (even if they're "the enemy") is what sets you apart from the grifters who don't care about their impact to others.

[@Meanlucario]

I feel like the problem is that unhinged/mentally unwell people think these are the excuse they're looking for to harass people.

[@yann6109]

I have a feeling that some people really *want* to harass others, and just wait for excuses to do this

[@hopethisoneworksman]

You should do a docu-series about Enron.

[@BaldAndCurious]

Oh my gosh! That happens?! Perish the thought that people do things to feel important. Like what I'm doing now.

[@Erazmutas]

Man i love your content, so intresting and fun to watch, always new mind breaking storys. Hope you doing well

[@xxfloppypillowxx]

I think that what you're doing is the right way about doing it, discouraging your viewers from doing it is the right thing to do but I don't think leaving him out would or leaving anything out would be right. On the one hand people shouldn't be harassing people absolutely but ultimately if you are presenting the truth and not trying to manipulate the situation to make it look worse then that's all you can do and while I again don't think harassment should be condoned a large part of the burden of the harassment has to be on the shoulders of the victim because it was their actions in the first place that created the genesis of the problem. Now if you were pulling shit out of your ass to make them look bad that'd be another thing but you seem to back up your claims and hedge where applicable. Degens are gonna be degens even when you tell them not to unfortunately.

[@elijahconnorcole5497]

you cannot control everyone, unfortunately. but this is the optic you want out in this wild.

[@hermdude]

Internet has lost all nuance a long time ago; don't worry about things that you can't control. Moving forward, since you're already quite big with the "popular audience" as you have said at 4:00, if you do want law enforcement to take control, that has to be done first by working with them somehow, then the story comes out afterwards. Otherwise, just cover your butt legally, the internet will do what they would do misconstruing everything, and get on with the show. At this point, in the internet we just lost all hope with the world, so we just watch videos while eating popcorn instead.

[@kneau]

As it has been, the context and very nature of your content qualifies as a call to action.
