YouTube Star MrBeast Exposed for Allegedly Faking a Video

In this post, she stated that the video was edited to make it look like other influencers did worse in the competition than they actually did. Pansino stated that the video was edited to make it look like she had placed fourth, when she actually placed third. She stated in the post on Twitter, “Despite (Donaldson) editing out the ONLY FEMALE in the top three, I was proud of what I had achieved.” implying that there might have been sexism involved with the removal of Pansino from the top three competitors of the challenge. She mentioned in the tweet that the competitor by the name of Matthew Patrick, AKA ‘MatPat’ was supposed to be eliminated from the challenge due to the violation of the rules. In the stadium where the challenge took place, So-Fi stadium, had requirements laid out for the competition, one of the rules being that there would be no destruction of any kind, but he breaks that rule, climbing into the ceiling and leaving insulation all over the floor. Pansino is not the only one who spoke up about the situation. A different contender named Alexis Maldonado (Quackity on YouTube) added to the situation after Pansino made her statement, with him saying that he was in fact second place, not the alleged edited second place winner, Larri Merritt. 

The evidence pointing to Donaldson faking a video is immense, leaving it very hard to defend. This controversy leaves one question remaining, and that is whether it even matters if he did, because the winner of the competition would have stayed the same, even if the video was edited or not. “I’m not that disgusted with (Donaldson), because that was the only video that I’ve heard him fake,” says Mason McCarty, a sixth grader. Even if Donaldson edited the way that the video is perceived from a video posted a year ago even matters, he will still have done many great deeds, from donating to homeless people or to digging wells in Africa. Donaldson would still be a philanthropist if he faked a video or not. Nothing has changed the fact that he is an unstoppable force considered ‘too big to fail’.
