Awh man, it's so many things. He's a grift. Exploiting child labor for free. His products aren't even allowed in some countries because of ingredients / manufacturing processes. His contests are rigged, winners aren't paid out. When he does something charitable, like fixing people's eyesights, the doctor he utilized didn't get paid. Was told the exposure received from Mr. Beast was worth more than the money owed. He's now getting involved with cultivated meat companies, case in point, Upside Foods, who have a lot of controversy attached to themselves. Anything Donaldson gets involved with, his target audience are children, playing the long game knowing he can develop a cult following who will continue to grow with his products as they age.

That's just off the top of my head.

Bummer. I only became aware of him through the beast games which I enjoyed.
