These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.

After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.

Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.

For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

    […] Mr Beasts popularity, generosity […]

    Mr. Beast feels so unlikable to me, I really can’t understand his popularity. But that’s beside the point, sorry. Fuck instagram!

      My understanding is he gives a lot of his money away to various causes so I suppose that’s why people like him.

      But of course equally he is part of that annoying YouTuber trend of bouncing around the screen being very loud and thinking that that’s a substitute for personality.
