Chris Broad and CDawgVA recently commented on MrBeast’s decline in quality, suggesting that the popular YouTuber is more focused on making money than on producing good content.
In a video shared on October 12, CDawgVA, a voice actor residing in Japan, prompted Broad to share his views on MrBeast.
Broad stated, “Anyone who thinks MrBeast is about anything other than making himself the richest YouTuber in the world has missed something.”
He recounted a past conversation with MrBeast’s former manager, Reed Duchscher.
During this call, Broad recalled that the manager was primarily interested in how they could generate more revenue.
Broad explained, “I make videos that are fun and educational,” to which the manager responded, “Yeah but money. Money money money.”
As their conversation continued, Broad mentioned MrBeast’s collaboration with Logan Paul and KSI for their Lunchly business project.
Broad remarked, “Then he teamed up with Logan Paul. That should tell you all you need to know. Logan Paul is not the kind of person you should be working with.”
He added that while he does not view MrBeast as entirely negative, he has heard unfavorable things about him for a long time.
Broad acknowledged MrBeast’s charitable contributions, stating, “He has done great things; we can’t deny that.”
However, he suggested that people should look beyond these acts of kindness, as they often seem intended to benefit MrBeast himself.
He concluded by saying, “The philanthropy always feels like it’s there as a barrier to stop any criticism, but that’s no longer working because people have started to see through it.”
Despite the high-profile support for the Lunchly product from these three well-known YouTubers, it has faced significant negative feedback.
Many nutritionists have criticized the marketing of Lunchly, calling it “terrible.”
Broad’s comments have raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the motivations behind MrBeast’s approach to content creation. He emphasized that the most popular YouTuber seems primarily driven by the pursuit of financial gain rather than a commitment to quality entertainment.
As the dialogue progressed, Broad did not hold back in expressing his opinion on MrBeast’s choices, specifically highlighting his association with controversial figures like Logan Paul. He pointed out, “Collaborating with someone like Logan Paul raises serious questions about your integrity.”
Furthermore, Broad mentioned that while it’s undeniable that MrBeast has made significant contributions through his philanthropic efforts, these gestures often appear to be designed for self-promotion rather than genuine altruism. He suggested that MrBeast’s charitable work might serve as a shield against criticism, but this tactic is losing its effectiveness as audiences begin to scrutinize the intentions behind such actions.
Despite the considerable hype surrounding the Lunchly venture—backed by MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI—the response from health experts has been largely unfavorable. Various nutrition specialists have openly condemned the marketing strategies used for Lunchly, labeling them as misleading and irresponsible.
This controversy has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of influencers and their impact on public perception, especially regarding products that claim to be healthy or beneficial.
The ongoing debate about MrBeast’s motives and the ethical implications of influencer partnerships continues to unfold as fans and critics alike weigh in on the subject.
