This is my OP-ED on the recent MrBeast drama and allegations. I don't think MrBeast's career is gonna be touched by any of this. There will be promises made, some things may change, but MrBeast is just too big fail. Perhaps the first creator who is truly untouchable and is the powerful person on this platform.
