Despite facing significant controversy regarding his company’s working conditions, MrBeast has chosen to continue releasing videos and proceed with the launch of his toy brand.
The YouTube video, titled “7 Days Stranded In A Cave,”features MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, as he explores caves in New Zealand. It quickly gained 10 million views within 3 hours, and despite receiving some criticism and negative feedback on social media, the YouTuber has not let it affect his usual operations.
Despite the expectations of those who were hoping for a formal response, the latest video fails to address or even acknowledge the controversy, much to their disappointment.
Alternatively, the MrBeast video solely featured his caving expedition, with a quick interruption to promote his toy line, MrBeast Labs.
At the same time, it has been reported that the YouTuber is removing comments related to the controversy surrounding him and his company, according to some viewers.
When his previous video, “Survive 100 Days In Nuclear Bunker,”was released, there were also accusations of similar behavior. Viewers of his caving video have noted similarities in the way comments were allegedly removed, just as they were in the comments section of his previous video.
Mr Beast is such a loser, deleting and botting comments, what happened to the kind hearted genuine, down to earth guy, it just feels dystopian, off and like a fucking corrupt tv show pic.twitter.com/zofcDk2VIZ

“The Twitter/X user lamented the disappearance of the kind-hearted, genuine, down-to-earth guy, saying it felt dystopian.”
In addition to the two videos and accompanying Instagram posts, Jimmy has refrained from making any further statements since announcing a third-party investigation into his company’s practices on July 22, 2024.
Even so, MrBeast has communicated with both his collaborators and the individuals making accusations against him since then.
Ludwig reached out to him to end their sponsorship with Feastables, stating that the decision was mutually agreeable. He also mentioned that he would not be collaborating with MrBeast until he addressed the accusations.
Despite acknowledging making the same claim multiple times, Jake Weddle turned down a $190k payment and an apology from the creator himself.
Weddle anticipates that Donaldson will refrain from making any public statements until the release of Dogpack’s third video, which he alleges will include accusations of sexual misconduct within the workplace.
Despite the additional context, it is understandable that MrBeast has chosen to remain silent on the allegations against him. However, many viewers still hoped for some form of acknowledgement from the YouTuber regarding the situation.
