YouTuber Dawson "DogPack404" has released his third video exposé on Jimmy "MrBeast" and his company. The first video involved allegations of fraud, while the second shed light on employee mistreatment. The latter included an in-depth interview with Jake Weddle, a former MrBeast employee who participated in an unreleased '100 days in Solitary Confinement' video, where he was subject to harsh conditions.
For those out of the loop, Jake stated he struggled with the experience of solitary confinement, finding it mentally taxing and uncomfortable. The isolation and lack of stimuli made things more difficult than anticipated. He allegedly felt anxiety and stress, ultimately leading him to tap out of the challenge.
Regardless, MrBeast encouraged Jake to pull through and finish the challenge, saying "no" to his requests to turn off the lights, and pushing him to complete tasks. After the interview was out, MrBeast apologized to Weddle, offering him $190,000 as compensation for the video.
Dawson spoke on the apology and claimed that MrBeast's gesture was to cover up the situation and de-escalate tension:
"Jimmy ended up apologizing and offering [Jake] $190,000, which to me, I think, is most likely an admission of guilt. You know, you don't apologize for things you didn't do".
Apart from this, DogPack touched on MrBeast's controversial former COO, Locoya Hill, and allegations of sexual assault involving him.

In the video above, Weddle spoke about his experiences with MrBeast, saying:
"When solitary confinement was over, yeah I was upset I didn't get what I thought I would get, and I thought I was getting [$300,000]... It was more about the treatment, it was more about how I felt."
He then suggested Jimmy make a public apology:
"I didn't want him to make a public spectacle about his apology to me, I still think he owes a massive, collective... something, an apology, an explanation... more stuff is going to come out, so I think he should wait and publicly say something about everything, soon".
Finally, he spoke about the personal apology he received from MrBeast:
"For me, the personal apology, the person-to-person thing... there were no lawyers around, there was no spectacle, there wasn't a camera in my face. I respected that, that's how I would've wanted it to go down."
In the end, Jake denied the prize money, stating he still wanted more of DogPack's videos to come out, and for more light to be shed on "things that need to be heard."
