MrBeast's New Psychological Trick Against Viewers Who Skip Ads

As a long-time fan who has witnessed MrBeast’s meteoric rise and seen him conquer the YouTube world, it’s disheartening to watch this recent string of controversies unfold. I remember the days when his videos were nothing but pure entertainment and positivity, with no hint of scandal or controversy in sight.

Following two previous scandals, he aimed to resume his usual schedule by posting videos and garnering an astonishing number of views and likes. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned – this particular video received a barrage of negative feedback due to the inappropriate ad placement, while viewers are also upset because it seems that MrBeast is deleting comments related to Ava Kris Tyson and his former employee. The question remains: how long will this backlash persist, or will it eventually subside if MrBeast chooses to ignore it? Time will tell.
