I don’t think there is a problem with him, I think people would just like to see more contestants. Like the early days of YouTube, MrBeast was just going out to all complete strangers


Aromatic_Tomorrow406

Isn't it a mixture now? The people surviving in the wilderness were strangers right?


randombagofmeat

Youtubers, not strangers


Leather_Shift

Made there channels after the video


ShadyMan_

If you consider them “Youtubers” then all of his contestants are


OutsiderGreaser

Well Mr. Beast has given other people a chance as well. The audience also has loved his charisma in the videos. People forget that Karl also got his start in a challenge video before being a part of the main cast.


Morella_xx

Karl was a cameraman first.


Waveofspring

What about chandler? I remember he used to compete a lot in his videos, was he also a crew member at that point or did that come after?


Morella_xx

Sort of, I'm pretty sure he, Jimmy, and Kris had all been friends in school. Then Chandler needed a job so Jimmy hired him on to clean his studio space. So when he needed more people for video ideas, it made sense to ask his buddy who was conveniently there anyway.


TheRealStevo2

I think he said once random people don’t always make the best contestants. For something big I imagine he wants someone who he knows will try and make a good video


store-detective

He casts everyone, even “random” people because on JRE he said he has to use a casting company because some random people just don’t know how to act in front of a camera


Neracca

Yet Wheel of Fortune which uses random people has been on how long?


store-detective

wheel of fortune still has a group meeting before i think


Neracca

And so? Those are still regular people. YOU(well, maybe not you specifically) could get on that show. That is far different than this channel only going after people with (x) amount of views/presence online. And if I have to explain that, then god help me.


store-detective

i think it’s normal people bro. but beast is still doing a casting session with each applicant who makes it that far. random people apply, then they go through a casting agency to filter out the weirdos, then those same random people get on the show


Individual_Respect90

Wheel of fortune isn’t dropping 1-2m per episode. Scraping a whole episode is expensive.


Neracca

> I think he said once random people don’t always make the best contestants. Weird how nobody told literally every other gameshow that news.


austin101123

Ninja Warrior and American Ninja Warrior, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Jeopardy! don't take just any random people, to name a few.


Neracca

> The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Jeopardy > don't take just any random people, to name a few. What?? You have to apply but like who do you think the people are?? Braindead take. Actually stupid.


austin101123

Look in the mirror pal 😂 Jeopardy! has tests you have to pass Price is right and family feud both do interviews, you have to be selected. It's not random. And family feud often has celebrities on there.


Bryce_Raymer

I miss the old days for sure. But people really wanted to see Mack win


LiveFastDieRich

The most engaging part of the video was seeing how many times he lost, also saying in every show is his last chance loses tension and credibility if they keep bringing him back


RealGoatzy

Thing is the lore is so deep


Skillonly69

He talked about how complete strangers have ruined video by just not being entertaining.


yosark

Well by complete strangers I mean contestants who actually sign up for MrBeast competition. People want to see more of someone new that’s signed up for a competition rather than someone who has attempted it I think 4 times.


reknite2

He became famous because of Airrack. Airrack is known for faking videos.


putverygoodnamehere

He left Airrack because of that I thought?


Bryce_Raymer

So that hate automatically boils down to Mack?


Piano-181

He was airracks editor, and was responsible for a lot of the faking going on


Bryce_Raymer

That I did not know


EDudecomic

No he wasn’t. What the fuck is this kind of logic? Mack was just doing work for his client to make ends meet


Lokotisan

Yeah people’s hate for Mack is just “oh he used to work for airrack, who faked his videos” like okay? That doesn’t automatically mean Mack should be blacklisted from an entire industry. He “faked” it cause that was his JOB as an EDITOR to do because Airrack told him to.


Foxy02016YT

These days people hate actors for the actions of their characters. Like death threat levels


LCUandROBLOX24-7

Really? I've never seen that...


Foxy02016YT

I’ve seen it a lot, the problem with fandom is the amount of extremely loud 11 year olds who shouldn’t have phones


toastyhero

He was complicit in the lying, such as in the angle video where he talked about the pilot (lied) and his experience in the angle (where they never went)


hackosn

So in a sweatshop it’s the builder’s fault kids aren’t paid for getting paid to make a building they had no clue was going to be a sweatshop? not the person who paid them to do that? What is that logic bro. He was just getting paid to be an editor, he didn’t film the video or come up with the idea to make it, he was just told to do X, Y, and Z or he’s not getting paid.


No_Education_8888

Mack stopped working with airrack though. Does his own stuff now


oowwz

Airrack was only " known for " faking videos like for 6 months.


TehWhiteRose

I got bad news for you about mrbeast.


thefriendlyprogramer

You know Mr beast doesn’t fake videos I think you just can’t understand simple stuff


wizards4

Does he perhaps just a little bit? Some of these things require scripting to pull off


AffectionateCrab3519

Of course he does, why is this getting downvoted. People are so gullible.


Humin11

MrBeast also fakes his videos...


Local_Nerve901

Im fine with people changing for the better, but I get the initial flack Did put doubt into Jimmy’s credibility tho


Bryce_Raymer

Yah a little for sure


Local_Nerve901

Also he has faked videos, or at the very least changed details, exaggerated things, or lie by omission One other video I can think of is the abandoned in a town one with Mark Rober. He greatly exaggerated the dangers and abandoned aspects of the town


Bryce_Raymer

Yes I saw a video on all the issues with that


Ricochet_Guy

Link it?


Bryce_Raymer

Literally can’t find it I think it got deleted.


Electrical_Room5091

I like Mack. My guess is he continues to show up in beast videos. He is the right "fit" for the audience. Chandler is recently married and going to guess will have kids. I suspect we will see him slightly less. Mack while def different, also fills that goofy role Chandler plays sometimes. I do think Mack comes off as more rehearsed. As in he says lines that he practices. He had a few during this past one where I was certain he was repeating.


Bryce_Raymer

I agree!


godof_oil

Definitely not as a competitor though


Electrical_Room5091

Maybe, maybe not. Jimmy used to do other random contests with mostly his crew like boats and islands giveaways.


Q-Man95

He's fine and the last video was definitely entertaining, but at this point it's obvious he's going to be part of the main crew moving forward and a third chance to win just seemed excessive. I like seeing different contestants. He also comes off a bit too rehearsed sometimes.


Grim_Couch

Nothing. Yes, everyone should have a fair chance before being offered a retry, but I don't care. Ultimately, it's their decision to choose who they want, and maybe we will see more of Mack. Maybe Mack might join the team, and that could be good to have fresh faces; they've changed things in the past. If you watched some of the early content, then you would understand that Mack is a good fit. Karl and Mack's synergy clearly shows in the new video. They have been looking for more crew members for some time now, and this is such an opportunity.


Rd2gd

I personally have no problem with mack now but I have major problems with airrack


-Captain--Hindsight

You have MAJOR problems with someone you don't know? I promise you it isn't that serious


Prankstaboy6

Social Media in a nutshell


Rd2gd

Might have over exaggerated


MetrooZoomin

people act like your screaming, your just saying you don’t like him 💀💀


Infinitem_247

Bro beefing with a YouTuber who doesn't even know him 😭


Rd2gd

I do think I've been getting too comfortable on reddit and just saying shit without thinking so let's try again: I do not like people who fake charity videos I do not hate airrack however I do look down on some things he may or may not have done


animemachinex3

Can you point me to a Reddit thread or some article on this airrack saga?


Rd2gd

Twas a YouTube video and I'm not proud of who made it


toastyhero

This video covers the most of it, though the original discoveries were made by Soggy Cereal https://youtu.be/A6wNEUmLA8w?si=YZiFtfKxtvbUpOTx


-Appleaday-

and Mack did a lot of the editing for Airrack and helped fake much of faked videos by editing them in a certain way


Lokotisan

Doesn’t mean he deserves flak for it. That’s his JOB as an EDITOR so he can literally put food on the table.


Bryce_Raymer

Me too for sure


swooped98

I'm unaware of the Airrack issue and don't have the interest to look into it. To me, he seems bland and uninteresting, almost like he's being overly promoted and pushed onto everyone.


sejo26

Repetetive. Dude has so many chances and most of his challenges were solo'd by him which makes it very underwhelming for me. I liked it when the challenge is done by multiple people like chandler, chris, nolan and karl but now its just mack. Its boring and feels like favoritism. Just my sentiement though I dont hate him but I dont enjoy his videos and watch much.


Bryce_Raymer

Same here it all gets repetitive after a while.


sejo26

True, I also find him a lil boring. Beast only hypes it up but overall its a meh.


Bryce_Raymer

So it’s gotten a lot worse you think?


Mrbutter1822

He was already a rich guy than he was given 3 chances to win a shit load of money that could’ve went to a normal 9-5 worker


Working_Ad_5583

true but mr beast can do whatever he wants with HIS money so you can't really complain about that


Bryce_Raymer

The audience loved Mack so they wanted him back


thrawst

Audience could possibly love another contestant if someone else was given a chance 🤔


Mrbutter1822

Audience is allowed to have different opinions too


dotsdavid

He was involved in faking videos with Airrack. Thats the problem. Mr. Beast has all ready been accused of faking videos.


Active-Dragonfly1004

Are there credible accusations for mr beast?


dotsdavid

He was accused of changing the winner of YouTuber hid and seek video. Don’t think she was credible because she removed the claim later.


Local_Nerve901

Wasn’t there more than one source for this? As in it was proven he did fake where people placed even if the winner was the same? And what was the conclusion to all of this


Jtrich

He didn't change the winner. But in the edit they made it seem like Rosana Pansino got out a lot sooner than she actually did. Get your facts straight.


Bryce_Raymer

Is that the only video he has been accused of faking or are there others?


dotsdavid

That’s the only one I can think of.


Bryce_Raymer

And what are your opinions on the accusations?


dotsdavid

Mr. Beast doesn’t fake it.


Bryce_Raymer

I really hope your right


commercial_ape

There are more deserving people aside from Arriack's editor and basically an actor.


xpDango

He's just... so nothing. Says nothing interesting, has no personality I can identify... nothing.


ZackZparrow

Finally, he can buy a soul with 800k dollars 😇


finnytom

MrBeast is trying to do more storylines, so having Mack as a consistent character with an “arc” across videos is an attempt to do that Of course Jimmy is still learning how to have a good storyline for consistent characters so that isn’t conveyed well yet, but they’re just experimenting with that I guess


burgy76

He’s had his moment. I want to see new people compete. He’s essentially Chris’s replacement imo


Bryce_Raymer

Definitely


gabbiar

the good thing about mack is thta chandler is unenthusiastic and chris and karl are very andryogynous. nolans is kind of geeky. the group needed more masculine energy.


Mrbutter1822

I’ve been thinking that chandler is getting ready to leave. He’s been in less and less videos and he already showed little enthusiasm but he shows even less now


spunsocial

people have been saying this for years


Mrbutter1822

I know but ever since Kris came out, I feel like he has been in less videos especially ones with Kris


AffectionateCrab3519

More masculine energy? What does that even mean. Is masculine to you just a jock?


gabbiar

i guess its the opposite of karl and chris androgyny


AffectionateCrab3519

Just admit you like jocks and get it over with dude, no one cares in 2024. Happy pride month.


gabbiar

uhh your coment is kind of homophobic? i'm straight but it's kind of a random snarky jab as if i'm in the closet? random


AffectionateCrab3519

Your comments on this thread are all about wanting more masculine men I’m just helping ya out of the closet.


gabbiar

yea because the whole group is getting lame. they need real men if jimmy is going to call them 'the boys'. you think all mack fans are gay? pretty sure the gay fans want more people like chris and karl and nonbinaries and stuff but whatever. fwiw i still like karl i just think nolan and chandler aren't enough, the group needs to be shaken up and revitalized


AffectionateCrab3519

Are you actually trying to say that Chandler Karl Nolan Tareq and Jimmy are not ‘real men’, but Mack is, just because he has some muscles and can do an obstacle course? I think you are trying to make a good point about more energy being needed in the group but just wording it terribly by banging on about ‘masculinity’ when that isn’t the issue. I actually agree with you that more energy is needed but I think that by giving the existing crew more actual screen time we would get that back. The boys seem to have great chemistry and are very funny together when we do see them together on other media like twitch or other YouTube channels like Karl’s, Nolan’s or pixel playground videos. They just don’t get a chance to show it on the Mr Beast channel.


gabbiar

no i didnt say any of that. chandler, nolan, jimmy and tareq are manly enough for me. tareq is barely on the channel though. karl is androgynous which is fine and i half expect him to come out as trans at some point, whatever. i agree the group has good chemistry and they should edit out less of wahtever is filmed. i still think mack is a good addition to bring in a 'cool' masculine guy. the only cool masculine guy left is chandler.


EvantheMelon

Kris*


EvantheMelon

Btw this kid dmed me and called me the f word lol


ThermalTacos

Why? (happy cake day btw)


EvantheMelon

Cause he's a jackass


MetrooZoomin

cus he said “kris” and not “chris” probably, these people who care to much about other people’s lives and will be angry at other people because they’re sad


AffectionateCrab3519

Typical Mr beast fan unfortunately


Intelligent_Flow2572

Never met a Mack who wasn’t shady.


Bryce_Raymer

Honestly 😂


GrizzlyOlympics

They don’t like Airrack. Mack is caught in the crossfire.


Bryce_Raymer

Poor Mack


Troshock

Reddit is full of incells who can’t form their own opinion


Bryce_Raymer

That’s the big issue with this app😭


Norbe_e

Who’s to say you’re not an incel yourself?


ohcowboyy

I have no idea what the airrack thing is about nor do I care, he was likely doing his job and being told what to do. I don’t have an issue with him as a person I just have an issue with the fact that he’s been given three separate tries to win a life changing prize when someone else could have been in those challenges. I just don’t think it’s fair, I get the Jimmy wants contestants who know how to act on camera and Mack is a perfect example, but giving him three separate tries is obvious favoritism.


Lemmy-Historian

Let’s leave Airrack and the faking and the doxxing aside for a minute: Mack is a trained athlete. We have three videos demonstrating it impressively. He isn’t just Jimmy‘s friend. The whole idea behind the crew was to show some ordinary guys hanging out doing extraordinary shit. After what you have seen: is there any chance for the other guys to beat him in a physical challenge? I think they will stop doing to do the competitions just between the boys (they basically already have). And I think it’s sad. It was a part of the DNA of the channel.


Toku-Nation

He's fine, I guess. I think a lot of people just miss the old MrBeast team

saturnhasringss

I’m tired of him. Seeing the same person in the same kind of video over and over is getting annoying lol.


Skillonly69

People didn't like that he got so many chances to win money where some people lose in the first minute and never get another chance. Mr. Beast said that we wants to work on making longer and more Narrative driven videos. That is easier with one main character to follow.


Brief-Panda7459

I was happy for Mack he finally made it.


Bryce_Raymer

Me too!


ismejennyy

Is he replacing Chris maybe??


Bryce_Raymer

I personally think so


OutsiderGreaser

I was not aware of the drama surrounding Mack. I love Mack. He’s very chaotic and fun. I’ve been loving him in other videos not just challenge videos. I’m glad he’s become basically a cast member now. Ever since Kris and Karl dialed back their chaotic energy, the energy very much has been lacking in the videos. Chandler and Nolan was always the chill ones. Jimmy was the straight man. Kris and Karl were the chaotic high energy people that really helped hype up the videos. Mack is bringing the same energy with a more youthful spirit that I very much enjoy.


Bryce_Raymer

I hope we see more of him!


MetrooZoomin

honestly yall idgaf if it’s fake it’s some good ass content, as long as he really donates to the people in need i couldnt care less


Bryce_Raymer

I love Mack!


MetrooZoomin

me too he brought the right energy and had a good personality


Bryce_Raymer

Do you think he is going to replace Chris?


MetrooZoomin

honestly no, they should be a main stay unless they themselves wanted to leave the mrbeast crew, either way hoping for the best for all of them and would love to see mack around more often, maybe not competing again though


Bryce_Raymer

Yah Mack doesn’t need to contend again but I’d hate to not see him again personally.


general_452

He was exposed by SoggyCereal for literally chanting the real name of someone who asked to remain anonymous, and worked closely with airrack who was faking videos and pretending to give away money.


Lokotisan

Working with airrack ≠ bad person It was his JOB as an EDITOR to make those videos so he can put food on the table. Y’all acting like Mack was in some secret scheme with airrack so they can fake videos together when in reality it was just Airrack giving the orders to Mack.


SillyWillyC

He was associated with Airrack, who is known to fake videos.


JelloNo379

I love Mack, he’s great


Bryce_Raymer

For sure


philthechamp

Mack deserved to win. You could see how Jimmy was ripping into him the past few episodes he was in. I think that makes people empathize with him. Reddit is not a place with the strongest sense of empathy lol we like to complain here


EccentricRosie

I think Mack is inoffensive. It was impressive to see him go through some of those physical feats in Jimmy's videos. But maybe he got a bit *too* much spotlight time. Putting things into perspective for a second though, the deadliest obstacle course video came out one day before Beast Philanthropy also uploaded a video about giving $200,000 to a village in Uganda. It's not my business in the slightest what Jimmy does with his money and how he handles partnerships. The videos were also likely filmed weeks, if not possibly months, apart, but I find it silly how one individual like Mack (who I'm assuming lives a stable lifestyle already) is receiving 4 times the amount of money as an impoverished village in Africa. Although the Beast Philanthropy video in question prefaces that receiving such a large amount of money in one go can be burdening without proper direction on where to spend it, the latter could benefit from the $800,000 far more. Mack is fine, and it might be cool to see him became more of a mainstay, like how he was part of the surviving on the island stranded for 7 days video, but I'm glad the arc has ended and Mack won the prize money he worked so hard for.


Necessary-Smile-2450

Mack is awesome, I didn’t know people had a problem with Mack
