00:00Mr. Beast and his crew have been on the receiving end of a great deal of criticism in recent
00:04months, and it's already taking a huge toll on the YouTuber's brand. Keep watching to
00:08learn the extent of the subscriber exodus.
00:12Last month, Mr. Beast fired longtime friend and collaborator Ava Chris Tyson when disturbing
00:16grooming and sexual assault allegations were leveled at her. Mr. Beast hired a third-party
00:21team to investigate the accusations, but quickly found that this was just the first of multiple
00:25scandals about to break.
00:27In the weeks that followed, Mr. Beast has been accused of faking the results of his
00:32videos, mistreating contestants on his Beast Games TV show, knowingly employing a registered
00:36sex offender on his channel, and encouraging team members to stop speaking out about Ava
00:40Tyson. The controversies have continued to pile up, and it seems like enough is enough
00:45for a significant number of Mr. Beast's subscribers.
00:48According to data culled from ViewStats, Mr. Beast has received 1.9 billion views in the
00:53last 28 days on his main YouTube channel. While that's definitely still an impressive
00:58sum, it's worth noting that this number marks a dramatic decrease of approximately 166 million
01:03views. The channel also took a hit when it came to new subscribers, only bringing in
01:086 million new subs, a drop of approximately 11 million subscribers when compared to the
01:13previous 28-day period.
01:15Meanwhile, his Mr. Beast Gaming channel was down 10.36 million views in the last 28 days,
01:20and brought in 200,000 fewer new subscribers. It's worth noting that this channel has not
01:25received a new upload in roughly a year, so it's clearly not a major part of the overall
01:29brand as it exists today, and yet people are still leaving in droves. Again, we're talking
01:34about the most subscribed creator on YouTube, so he's still outpacing his competition in
01:39many respects. However, these statistics make it very clear that Mr. Beast's main channel
01:44has been hemorrhaging fans since this period of unrest began.
01:47Unfortunately for the fans who are still hanging around, it's unclear when this difficult
01:51period might come to a close. Mr. Beast's continued silence amidst the multiple scandals
01:56has only made onlookers more curious. The replies to his older videos and social media
02:01posts are full of viewers and fellow content creators asking when or if he's going to weigh
02:05in on the mounting allegations. Even the many subscribers who have stood by him are growing
02:10weary of Mr. Beast's lack of a public response.
02:13Despite helping matters are continued accusations claiming that Mr. Beast's team is deleting
02:18critical comments from his YouTube channel, including fans asking questions about Ava
02:22Chris Tyson. Mr. Beast has not made an official statement regarding Ava Chris Tyson since
02:26his initial tweet announcing the third-party investigation, and the only response to the
02:31allegations against the Beast Games production team has come from one of Mr. Beast's representatives
02:36and seemingly not from him directly.
02:38According to leaked messages from Ava Chris Tyson's partner, a fellow content creator
02:42called Aerit, Mr. Beast and his team are determined to stay tight-lipped about these
02:46various scandals until the conclusion of the investigation, whenever that may be. In the
02:51meantime, it seems Mr. Beast is determined to operate as usual. While his fans wait for
02:55updates with bated breath, the content creator quietly launched a new toy line last week
03:00and is continuing to work on his upcoming Amazon Prime TV series. It remains unclear
03:04how far his viewership might continue to fall before all is said and done. However, considering
03:09how important it was to Mr. Beast for his channel to break those subscriber records,
03:13it's very likely that the YouTuber will want to make moves to clear up these various scandals
03:18before he loses too much more of his viewership.
