A burning controversy. “Would you risk dying for $ 500,000?” This is the last video of the American Youtuber Mrbeast. Sunday, October 28, the creator of content more often in the world published another sensational video.
In this content, you can see a man tied in a fire house. Your goal? Be successful in exceeding seven events to earn half a million dollars. The man must, for example, succeed in escaping the building, is promoted in the middle of the flames or jumps through the rings on fire. Except that at one time, the person takes fire. “It’s on fire! It’s on fire! Bring the fire extinguisher,” Aulle Mrbeast.
“It is not consent. It is exploitation”
A video that surprised more than one YouTube user. In social networks, several fans accuse the creator of content to 442 million subscribers to go too far for these challenges. “Mrbeast will have to kill someone for people to really understand how dangerous it is,” says an user in X, former owner.
In fact, to build his career, the cameraman has opted for sensational and XXL challenges. In the program, reality shows with 5 million dollars in the key, videos in which one week buried alive or test one of the “most dangerous” traps. But recently, the content creator has also jeopardized participants.
In his video “Would you like to drown for $ 500,000?”, Mrbeast chained a man on a stone before throwing him into the water. It also offers strangers to spend 100 days in prison against the same amount. During the beast games, several anonymous candidates filed a complaint about “chronic treatment and sexual harassment.” They claim to have been “blatantly exploited”, not having been paid and have been subjected to dangerous conditions.
At the same time, several Internet users accuse him of exploiting the misery of the participants.
Again, criticism is not new. Mrbeast is filmed regularly giving money to homeless people, building a school and taking water to 100 villages in Africa … even if that means creating some controversies. Some Internet users accuse him of making “charity porn”, that is, filming his good actions to obtain a maximum of views on their channel and, therefore, money.
YouTubeur often wanted to respond to the controversy. Thus ensures that the participant is a specialist. “He is a professional specialist. But we will push him to his entrenchracks,” he says at the beginning of the video.
In X, Mrbeast also detailed behind the video scene. Therefore, it ensures that there was a ventilation for smoke and a cut circuit to extinguish the fires. “We have asked professionals for in -depth evidence. (…) I take more seriously security than you can imagine,” he said on the social network.
Controversies that are not the success of the video, on the contrary. In two days, his challenge has accumulated more than 51 million visits.
