While MrBeast keeps digging himself deeper into scandal surrounding his dubious practices (no, not manipulating his underage audience, but for organizing lotteries which broke the law), there is one voice visibly missing from this whole situation.
Penguinz0, aka Charlie or MoistCritikal, known for having an opinion about everything in the universe, from hamburgers to nuclear weapons and from dating to cryptocurrency, missed just one topic in the past few years. And this topic is the topic of all topics - the crumbling down "career" of MrBeast, who, apart from introducing children to gambling, has done some shady things in the past, which now he tries to edit out of people’s minds (and YouTube history).
I have no doubts Penguinz0 will dive deep into this scandal and root out the evil on YouTube. After all, he is an expert on everything in the world. But I guess in everything else, other than MrBeast and his questionable life choices. So far, MrBeast hired two law firms to silence the "whistleblower" who exposed his practices (as innocent people do), removed videos made by other youtubers who reported on that situation (as innocent people do), hidden the evidence on his own YouTube channel (as innocent people do), have not responded in any way to the accusations, now is in the process of re-editing old videos so they would not show the root of the accusations (as innocent people do).
So what Penguinz0 has to say about this? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A man, who so far had something to say about everything that can be found on YouTube or on the Internet, now went completely silent. Of course, this has nothing to do with his participation in a tournament for youtubers organized by MrBeast, during which poor Charlie folded down like a beach chair while facing people he relentlessly criticized (like Logan Paul) while locked down in his home, explaining that "it was nothing personal". According to his version of events, at this point in time he knew nothing about Logan’s lawsuit against Coffeezilla. Ok, Charlie, now you know about it and... still nothing. Well, not exactly nothing, he returned to his safe zone and criticized it in front of the camera. Slightly.
Well, let’s get back to the MrBeast situation, which blew up on the Internet - every single comment channel had something to say about this. Except for Penguinz0, who decided to concentrate on the hamburger lists and kitchen equipment. I mean it’s a sensible thing to do - if you know nothing about something, the best you can do id remain silent. But if Penguinz0 would use that rule more often, his channel would be mostly the crickets and some gaming videos. Well done, Charlie, you show the world how to comment on important issues! One day. Maybe. If no new exciting kitchen equipment will pop up in the spotlight.

As someone once said, Charlie has only opinions of the general audience - picks only the low-hanging fruits, adds a clickbait title and repeats what is the general consensus regarding the topic. No idea how he can be as popular as he is.

I like some of his videos, but sometimes he is a huge douchebag

Quite popular youtuber videogamedunkey just announced that he has established a publishing studio called Bigmode, which will be focusing on indie productions. That announcement was met with mixed reactions, but not for some sinister reason.
Trainwreck, one of the more prominent Twitch streamers, just started a new platform for "content creators", called Kick and it aims to provide the best possible environment for the streamers. Sounds great, but it is not true.
The curious case of PhlyDaily, or how to sink your youtube channel for a... reasonably good reason. But in unreasonably silly way.
What always fascinated me in the books, movies or video games was the concept of an evil corporation. They always had some nefarious, although logical, plans, they were powerful, they were crushing people just for the fun of it. They were always over-the-top, always taking part in some evil plans, and always had some twisted individual in charge of them. But in real life...
GSC Game World, the company behind Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, just introduced a new game in the universum and at the same time they invented a new genre of the games. Or rather, meta games. Introducing Stalker 2: the Download Simulator!
Today something completely different - a nostalgia piece about a game from 2015 (ancient history for some) that was not in any way a bad game, but incorporated one bad idea that ruined all the good ideas. Yes, you guessed it from the title, it is a Fallout 4 "and one to ruin them all" story.
Online games come and go, with introduction of modern technology that allows game clients to use high definition graphics, the lifespan of online games if quite often much shorter than the time is nee...
I mean... you will, because it happened quite few times before. Yup, it is another idiot sharing classified data on the game forum. And in a way it is a surprising story.
