This fucker is so goddamned crooked. Psychological warfare on children and their parents pocketbooks.

Now he's partnering with Jake Paul to make a lunchables that contains Prime drinks and his shitty chocolate bars that shops can't even chill shill at a 90% discount.

Time to suggest again that his next video be “Mr. Beast Runs from 12 People with Knives.” If you stab him to death, you get to keep all his money.

Is this the one Jaiden animations won? She made it sound not super harassing, just high pressure.

I suspect it's a different thing since Amazon is involved

Amazon will throw money at anything except their workforce

"You want your prize money? Here is an NDA"

(I have no proof of anything, I'm just pointing out that the winner has potentially different motivations to other contestants)

Jaiden doesn't see a penny of it. The money is for giveaways to her subscribers. She doesn't seem like the kind of person to brush this aside for money anyway.
