You say holy shit? It gets even more worse, because that's not even half the story. Bro was running an illegal lottery in the guise of a sweepstake, with children as their main audience. He did nothing to ensure fairness of these games. He also didn't give a fuck about OSHA standards in his set, and someone nearly died. In his new game show, BeastGames, contestants were starving, fighting each other for food and water. Oh, and he also promoted unhealthy to a younger, immature audience. This guy is a piece of shit. And he KNEW about Kris's creepy behavior.
Yeah I was only vaguely aware of him - popular YT guy with younger folks, did some stunts, etc, not my thing. But this is a rabbit hole that keeps getting more and more disturbing.
