"Big fumble": Fans react as alleged MrBeast ex-employee starts GoFundMe for $1.7 million

Yet another individual claiming to be a former employee of Jimmy "MrBeast" has come out with a set of allegations against the YouTuber and his team. The individual, YouTube content creator Ty Ore, uploaded a video on the platform titled I Also Worked For Mr Beast, He's a THIEF! in which he claimed that he worked off-camera within the team of MrBeast, and had not been monetarily compensated for his work.

Further, Ty Ore had also linked a GoFundMe page along with his video, through which viewers were urged to showcase their support. However, the goal for the GoFundMe page being set at $1.7 million had drawn ire from netizens, with some claiming that the YouTuber made a mistake by asking for the compensation that he allegedly deserved in such a way.

Reddit user Fellers stated that Ty Ore had gone about asking for compensation "in the worst way" through his GoFundMe campaign. They wrote:

"Big fumble. Dogpack confirmed Mr. Beast steals ideas without compensation. So Mr. Beast does owe people money. However, this moron went about it in the worst way lol."

u/lalalavellan advised the individual to take legal action and not put the "responsibility" of his due payment on viewers:

"Mr. Beast allegedly stole from him, so we, the viewers, must pay to make it better. It's crazy... He did not do $1.7 million worth of work, nor was his idea worth $1.7 million. But even if he did deserve $1.7 million, why is it our responsibility to pay him? Go to court. If his evidence is air-tight, then certainly he could find a lawyer and win some settlement."

On the other side, another user u/Slyphofspace stated that the individual's complaints were akin to someone complaining about "a twisted ankle after seeing someone get shot," implying that it was a "small issue" as compared to other pressing allegations made against MrBeast:

"It's a bad look, sure. But I think the real issue is just how small it is, compared to the other things... Guy might have a completely legit complaint, it would still be like screaming about a twisted ankle after seeing someone get shot."

What were the allegations made by Ty Ore in his video against MrBeast?

Specifically, Ty Ore had claimed to be working as an obstacle designer and was responsible for providing ideas for obstacle courses within MrBeast's challenge videos. However, he alleged that MrBeast's team took the ideas pitched to him and did not pay him in return.

The individual also provided photographs and videos of behind-the-scenes processes behind some of the videos posted by MrBeast as "proof" of his allegations. These included plans of the obstacle courses being drawn on a whiteboard and screenshots of his alleged conversations with MrBeast's team.

However, MrBeast's team later stated to Daniel "Keemstar's" Drama Alert on X that some thumbnails claimed by Ty Ore as his creation for MrBeast had supposedly been "floating around" in 2023 and before. These counterclaims were accompanied by screenshots of Discord conversations showcasing the thumbnail in 2023.
