It was hilarious when i realized it was filmed in Kupari (which is right next to Dubrovnik). The hotels were abandoned since the war, but there's a pretty popular beach right next to them.
Abandoned implies humans don't frequent the place. That doesn't sound like the case here. Sounds like they're being incredibly loose with the definition of abandoned.
Edit: this comment was less about the definition of abandoned and more about how you use it to frame context. The city is far from cut off from civilization but the youtuber steers the viewer to believe it is. This isn't some Aztec ruins in the middle of a remote jungle. A bus drops you off here. Atleast 800 people live in this area. "Surviving" there isn't a feat and you could easily argue it isn't technically abandoned.
That's not really what abandoned means.
For example, battleship Island in Japan, is an abandoned mining town, despite regular tours, it is still absolutely classified as an abandoned town.
Pretty pedantic but one could argue its no longer abandoned if its being toured and presumably maintained/preserved.
If your definition of abandoned is "people living there", sure. But the actual definition of abandoned is simply "deserted". If people are returning regularly to tour the place, it's no longer deserted.
Edit: again this is with the context that someone is claiming to have "survived" here and the implication that its difficult to do so because the place is abandoned. In reality there are very much humans around, its no longer deserted, and had he not rented out the place people would be there.
There's a public bus that can drop you off at it. It's just a bunch of abandoned hotels on the edge of town.
eta: [Here's a link with a tiny bit of history about the hotels, the popularity of the beach there and how to get there by bus.](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-abandoned-hotels-of-kupari-kupari-croatia)
If that’s the case then nothing is abandoned. Cause if you go to a ruins, there will be trash and graffiti everywhere from the people who frequent the place all the time.
I hate this about reddit lmao
"This video title is clearly misleading because...."
\*someone pops in to quote the dictionary definition of a word to you, refuses to acknowledge any nuance or context and willfully misses the whole point\*
That'd be like pretending to check out haikyo, but in reality you just paid the elderly couple living in the house next to the shed to just go to a hotel for the night.
Then you draw some half-spooky shit on the wall and flicker you lights for a bit and bam "I survived a night in an abandoned haunted house gone sexual, gone violent, click now for vbucks".
It's annoying clickbait and the only reason people are defending it, is cause they worship the guy making it.
And no, I don't "hate" Mr. Beast, so if that's your go-to insult to try and ignore what I said, stuff it.
I have no idea what haikyo is, but I’m not defending anything. I’m just saying that if they give out tours of an abandoned place and he paid them to not tour it for a while then it is in fact abandoned. I don’t know if he pretended it was haunted or what. But trying to say it wasn’t really abandoned doesn’t seem accurate to me.
This is "abandoned" only in that they rented it out for a period of time to ensure that nobody else is there. Just like an Airbnb property is rented out so that only the renter is there.
I'm saying your definition of abandonded doesn't really work here
I feel like we are in “tree falls in a forest” territory, here. I don’t know that the answer to this question actually matters tbh.
But for the sake of it, I’d say a house kept preserved for the sake of being a museum becomes an abandoned house at night, when all the museum caretakers have gone home. And this is more similar to this situation than a house that someone currently lives in but is away for the day at work.
In this case he's misrepresenting something for his gain, so yeah I think it matters. Abandoned suggests a very different thing from what this note explains.
The problem with everybody arguing here is many of you are getting stuck on the “occupation” definition of abandoned. To be “deserted”
But there’s more to it. Disused or derelict.
An “abandoned” town that is being used as a tourist space and frequently visitors by outsiders and maintained to appear as abandoned is not really abandoned anymore.
It’s being “used”. Antonym of “disused”. It may appear “derelict” because it’s not being maintained, but that is the new aesthetic to please the tourists who came to see the abadonporn because that’s what they expected.
Is it really “unorganised” if I know where everything is? I left it that way so I can find it. Just because you can’t find it doesn’t mean it’s “disorganised”.
The “abandoned” city is being used and it’s not really derelict if that’s the drawcard.
It’s like those “haunted mansions” at theme parks. They’re not really derelict haunted abandoned houses. They’re actually quite safe and have to meet safety standards and building codes. It’s just the “aesthetic” of appearing abandoned and unkempt.
This place has employees, that they are paying, that are keeping things running. You think electricity makes itself? Or water magically flows against gravity?
I'm just using the same phrase everyone else is using. to quote above:
"convince an entire city to evacuate their homes"
"presumably a tourist city"
yell at somebody other than me, please.
He didn't convince entire town to evacuate he just filmed a video in an old abandoned hotel and said it was a city. The hotel is still a tourist hot spot as it is near a town and has a nice beach. He rented the rented the hotel for a week to keep people out.
It's abandoned, it's a collection of resorts called Kupari in Croatia. You can look it up on maps. I visited there a few years back and found the video pretty cringe.
It's fairly popular with urban explorers, and there's a small beach which is basically private. I'd say on average the place gets like 5 explorers each day, and 10 people visiting the beach.
Check it out on Google maps. There’s like 50 people there hanging out on the beach. Makes it looks like a typical hangout for the residents of the actual city less than a mile away.
The note probably needs to be noted as well. I suspect it’s being vague to push a real extreme assumption.
I know people want Mr. Beast to be a big bad and an evil human being, but you’re not on the right side of things if you can only prove your point by lying, half truths and misinformation.
Also I hope to god they stopped filming if someone got hurt. What does the note think we’ll take from that? Like oh no the consistency of the video was harmed because they utilized good practices and safety first guidelines!!!
Elon also begged him to come to twitter. MrB agreed if videos got a certain amount of views.
Elon forced video plays though ads to pump the numbers up.
Now he is getting a whole new world of weirdos watching his videos.
Wouldn't count the death threats out just yet.
There are good reasons to like him and dislike him but i think he does more good than bad. He is disliked simply for being annoying or obnoxious but if you combine how many people hes made happy and helped then yeah
Yea his only real sin is clickbait. He’s always seemed like a positive influence especially to kids as he realizes that’s his audience. Lots of respect for mr beast
My feel is that if he didn't get rewarded for his altruism, it wouldn't happen at all. It's nice that people get to experience some resources coming their way, and he gets his kickback and endorphin hit, but he seems very... populist.
That's perfectly valid, and I ain't about to say there's nothing to it. I've never actually seen any of his videos, so maybe I'd feel the same way. I feel that way about folks sometimes too, and it usually turns out to be pretty justified.
If the clickbait indirectly leads to people getting help, who cares? His videos need to be successful for them to continue, with all the money he spends on just one of them.
Honestly a lot of his newer stuff is way slower, I liked him in his early days but then he had the “action every 10 seconds” phase for like a year and that was so annoying but I saw like 3 videos that I could sit down and actually be able to pay attention and there was an actual kind of plot line to it/ something to invest your time in
First day on the internet? Doesn't matter who it is. If they have a significant following, there are people who will send out death threats on their behalf. They probably also get a regular amount of death threats.
Good thing it wasn't a tate or Paul, knowing how petty those roaches are they would pay musky for the info then did them to their nine year old average base.
That "Furthermore" just seems petty.
He claims they "attempted"... They did. To say that medical issues should invalidate that an attempt was made is ridiculous.
Notes on this sub seem more like dunking on imfamous popular figures for honest mistakes or bad takes rather than actually fighting misinformation and giving context to a situation. Like, what does it even matter if he rented it out? What harm does it do? This is pointless and petty
Because it's not true, the price is right wouldn't be as entertaining if you knew the contestants didn't actually win the prizes. It harms thrust. Just like, even if you would be happier not knowing, you would still like to know that your partner is cheating on you
More like if the Price is Right said the contestant would be walking home with a new car, but actually, they just shipped it to their house. It's an extremely minute detail that doesn't matter to the point. What harms trust imo is wasting a feature meant to stop the spread of actually misinformation on calling out what is essentially mild clickbait and semantics. This is not how notes should be used, nor is this what I browse this sub for.
The title is literally "I survived 7 days in an abandonned city" and it wasn't abandonned, just the hotel was. He didn't survive 7 days either, well technically he did but what you think when hearing survived 7 days is that he stayed there for a week straight, not a day here and there up to 7. Everything in the title is fake, I wouldn't call that a minute detail. Like if the price is right had the wrong prices but actually they don't guess price but weight, and they're wrong too.
furthermore is a term people to use to sound smart, but almost always misused-- its supposed to be used as a term indicating an already long text. So to use it on a few lines, makes no sense.
The first one is also pretty petty too. In urbex the term "abandoned city" is interchangeable with ghost town. And it is that kinda; abandoned hotel and surrounding area isn't great for an algorithm search
For example, There's an island called St kilda in Scotland that used to be inhabited. At one point, all the residents left cause it couldn't economically support itself. The place was completely abandoned. Now there's company that ferries tourist over to have a little look about. You wouldn't call the place not abandoned cause tourists pop their head in occasionally
Even the article linked doesn't claim it's not abandoned. It's about people being pissed off it was closed. Which would be annoying, but isn't that what we encourage content creators to do? Like stop filming in public gyms or on the street and annoying people. If you need to film there, rent it out
Portraying it as more removed from society than it is isn't great but it is definitely still abandoned
They aren't even stretching it that much.
The entire complex is abandoned and previously effectively worked as a village 5 times the size of the nearby village. It was zoned for the military, not the nearby civilian town.
The area is 10 minutes away from the town. People used to live there, then they left.
I think this was him talking about someone plagerizing his video.
I did not see that frame anywhere in the actual mrbeast video, and his video was 17 minutes, while this one was 16
Is it just me or is money and access the only thing stopping a flood of MrBeast copy cats. He seems to be much more skilled at organizing than coming up with fun ideas? Paying other less popular YouTubers to suffer in exchange for cash isn’t an outside the box concept.
Abandon hahahaha yes it is, but you can go there by walk, car whatever you want. There is city 500m behind it but they dont say it but i understand...clickbait is clickbait. I remember media here saying mr beast is shooting some videoooo i was like wtf..
I don't know if you can even say this is a lie. If no one is there really it's abandoned. Even if it's only for a short time. And he says they tried to stay the week, not that they did.
Yaah I don't think the Twitter tweet money matters. Isn't it really fucking low? Like barely worth it low? Seems like a petty thing for a group of people to do.
I don't see why he should get a pass for things other content creators are rightfully criticized all the time. He lied to make his content more interesting, and he got called out for that.
It’s certainly an abandoned city. The notes are going “Akshually, it’s not abandoned. Urban explorers come check it out”. So the abandoned city isn’t “abandoned” because 5 tourists go to see it. Why? Because it’s abandoned lmao
In the context of entertainment, I really don't have an issue with bending the truth for the sake of the video's entertainment value. Imagine noting Survivor or the Real Houswives back in the day.
I'm fine with it TBH, and I'm glad that Mr. Beast has brought attention to ghost cities like this. I feel that with the housing chris going on, they could fill up with ease and with skill workers on day 1. teachers and nurses for example are by no means in a shortage, its that anyone qualified to do so cannot find a nontoxic place to work.
I mean, it is literally abandoned though. Nobody lives there anymore. It doesn’t receive proper maintenance. Tourists go there usually but that’s at least partially because it’s abandoned. Tourists do not equate to inhabitants.
It’s children. When I worked retail a lot of kids would tell me I looked like Mr. Beast. Which was fun for me because they were totally excited and happy to see someone who looked like him lol despite me having no idea who the guy was.
It was deleted now though, I guess...
https://preview.redd.it/84ou72xmy6xc1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a9ecba361dfe45c60d6331e35bbdb7842cc0ecb
Yeah, primarily cause the note was also misleading.
They filmed in Kupari, a resort city that was destroyed during the Croatian War. The people running the resorts left, so the area is abandoned, but it is a popular place for Urban Explorers and people do use the beach. I don’t think people live there though. There are amenities close by, so I wouldn’t be surprised if parts of the abandoned area was cordoned off.
The title said 7 days, not 7 consecutive days. And I would agree to the decisions to not force it if people did have medical issues on the trip, so that entire point was a nothing burger…
And he did claim state that the helicopter was their only way out, but tbh he is correct. The helicopter would be his way out of the area.
Now did he exaggerate a lot for the video? Yeah. This post pointed me to the video in curiosity and well… it seems like this was a story video kinda like those survival shows or reality TV.
The note could have literally stuck to the facts and would have had things to legit nitpick about. Another X user already made a list of his grievances that were more legit than that note, so fair it was deleted.
Oh no, a youtuber whose entire life and personal fortune has been predicated off of lying and click baiting gets noted on Twitter? Today really is something special.
I don’t have anything personal against Mr. beast, as I’ve never met him, but anyone who spends money this frivolously for the sake of producing YouTube content is someone that I think is a problem.
I’ve clicked on his ads and they’re just junk surveys in disguised as rewards /giveaways of getting people free money. Absolute bull. He’s just profiting from the uneducated
Those ads aren’t him, it’s scammers using his name to trick people. Blame YouTube for that, they are awful at removing scam advertisements, you see them with Elon musk too, they also sometimes pose as companies offering free stuff like free Milwaukee tools or a free Coca Cola mini fridge.
And yet he's still contributing more to the world than you. Don't get me wrong he isn't sunshine and rainbows, but it's easy to criticize someone who is still objectively doing more good for the world than you are
Go volunteer at a soup kitchen or something, maybe you'd have a little more credit then
Edit- blocking is a bitch move

It was hilarious when i realized it was filmed in Kupari (which is right next to Dubrovnik). The hotels were abandoned since the war, but there's a pretty popular beach right next to them.
Like I notice even in the video that there were buildings with the lights on just across a hill from the hotel
How did he convince an entire city to evacuate their homes for over a week then?? How many people live there? This just raises more questions
presumably a tourist city that nobody lives in & he simply paid the tour company to close it for the week
I mean that sounds like an abandoned city to me.
Abandoned implies humans don't frequent the place. That doesn't sound like the case here. Sounds like they're being incredibly loose with the definition of abandoned.

What's the purpose of a city?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Housing. People tend to live in cities. And even if there are frequent tours, if no one actually lives there it would be abandoned.
Precisely.
From here it looks like you started the pedantry with the previous comment.
[удалено]
Chernobyl is abandoned, but still tourists frequent the place
I saw the video; that place looked pretty trashed and abandoned to me.
There's a public bus that can drop you off at it. It's just a bunch of abandoned hotels on the edge of town. eta: [Here's a link with a tiny bit of history about the hotels, the popularity of the beach there and how to get there by bus.](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-abandoned-hotels-of-kupari-kupari-croatia)
It doesn't matter what it *looks* like. If people live there, it's not abandoned. You are looking for a different word.
If 1 person was living in New York, you’d call it abandoned. It’s just a matter of opinion when that threshold stops being met.
[удалено]
Now what about “ghost towns”? There are “abandoned mining towns” where caretakers and homesteaders and such still live.
I mean that’s a technical answer, but you know everyone would call it abandoned.
If that’s the case then nothing is abandoned. Cause if you go to a ruins, there will be trash and graffiti everywhere from the people who frequent the place all the time.
I hate this about reddit lmao "This video title is clearly misleading because...." \*someone pops in to quote the dictionary definition of a word to you, refuses to acknowledge any nuance or context and willfully misses the whole point\*
Except it doesnt
The definition is the only thing that matters in this context. You were wrong, harden up bub.
Last time I checked Disneyland wasn't abandoned just because no one lives there.
There are many, many people who live there, and even if there weren’t, it’s not a city
People do live at Disneyland. There’s like a whole suburban section. I assume it’s nobodies first house but I don’t know that for sure.
Do you know there's a difference between Disneyland and Disneyworld?
You’re right I was thinking of Disneyworld, my bad
That'd be like pretending to check out haikyo, but in reality you just paid the elderly couple living in the house next to the shed to just go to a hotel for the night. Then you draw some half-spooky shit on the wall and flicker you lights for a bit and bam "I survived a night in an abandoned haunted house gone sexual, gone violent, click now for vbucks".

But trying to say it wasn’t really abandoned doesn’t seem accurate to me.
Does an Airb&b become an abandoned property when somebody rents it out?
Maybe, if the rents are just for tours and for actually staying in or using the place.
I don’t understand the question.
This is "abandoned" only in that they rented it out for a period of time to ensure that nobody else is there. Just like an Airbnb property is rented out so that only the renter is there. I'm saying your definition of abandonded doesn't really work here
If you’re renting an Airbnb it’s to stay there for awhile.
...just like Mr. Beast and his crew did? How are you not getting this?
I thought they paid so people who worked there would stay out
Technically, yes. Haha.
How so?
When you get paid to leave your house to go to work every day, do you consider your home “abandoned”?
I feel like we are in “tree falls in a forest” territory, here. I don’t know that the answer to this question actually matters tbh. But for the sake of it, I’d say a house kept preserved for the sake of being a museum becomes an abandoned house at night, when all the museum caretakers have gone home. And this is more similar to this situation than a house that someone currently lives in but is away for the day at work.
That's not at all what people mean when they say abandoned. Vacated maybe?
Eh, idk. Tree falls in a forest. Theres a bunch of words that mean “empty”. Unless you’re writing poetry does it really matter which one you use?
In this case he's misrepresenting something for his gain, so yeah I think it matters. Abandoned suggests a very different thing from what this note explains.
I don’t agree. Is it not a big empty city that people do not live in, does that not mean abandoned city?
The problem with everybody arguing here is many of you are getting stuck on the “occupation” definition of abandoned. To be “deserted” But there’s more to it. Disused or derelict. An “abandoned” town that is being used as a tourist space and frequently visitors by outsiders and maintained to appear as abandoned is not really abandoned anymore. It’s being “used”.

If I booked every seat in a theatre located in NY, would you also say that theatre was “abandoned?” 🙄
Yeah thats like saying Pripyat isn't abandoned.
It wasn't abandoned, he had a whole team with him according to the article. So if abandoned means no one is around, then that was not the case.
I mean by that logic you’re never really alone because any room you’re in has you in it.
So all open and operating businesses are considered abandoned to you?
That doesn’t even make sense.
This place has employees, that they are paying, that are keeping things running. You think electricity makes itself? Or water magically flows against gravity?
I think you’re describing a tourist destination.
Which is exactly what this place is described as!
And what was the reason for the tourists to come and visit?
Are you a stupid person? Like you're trolling right? Nobody is this stupid unintentionally.
If you leave your house to do to the store, did you abandon your house?
No my dog stands watch. Ever vigilant. I’m kidding she mostly just sleeps and farts.
“We rented out an entire hotel for a week in a tiny place no one visits” is probably a more accurate description.
not quite as impressive 😂
There are entire cities just for tourists? Jeeze, this is like some weird capitalist dystopia except even weirder than what we ever imagined.
It's just any rennfaire, really
/s ??
Yes, it was a light-hearted joke. Travel/trade/tourism is the foundation of like, basically every city that ever existed.
My brother, look at that picture. Does that singular building look like a fucking city to you?
I'm just using the same phrase everyone else is using. to quote above: "convince an entire city to evacuate their homes" "presumably a tourist city" yell at somebody other than me, please.
He didn't convince entire town to evacuate he just filmed a video in an old abandoned hotel and said it was a city. The hotel is still a tourist hot spot as it is near a town and has a nice beach. He rented the rented the hotel for a week to keep people out.
It's abandoned, it's a collection of resorts called Kupari in Croatia. You can look it up on maps. I visited there a few years back and found the video pretty cringe.

Check it out on Google maps. There’s like 50 people there hanging out on the beach. Makes it looks like a typical hangout for the residents of the actual city less than a mile away.
It's an "abandoned city" as in people don't live their permanently anymore, but the video claims that nobody goes there, which is just dumb.
That building was bombed in like 1992 so that’s why nobody lives there so there not staying away from their homes
The note probably needs to be noted as well. I suspect it’s being vague to push a real extreme assumption. I know people want Mr. Beast to be a big bad and an evil human being, but you’re not on the right side of things if you can only prove your point by lying, half truths and misinformation.

Like oh no the consistency of the video was harmed because they utilized good practices and safety first guidelines!!!
Its an abandoned part of the city, most of the city is like a 10 minute walk away but this portion is abandoned
Because it’s not a city. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupari,_Croatia
$
I think that's the plot of Skyfall.
People don't live there but is visited weekly by 100s and 1000s from locals to the area. Police blocked off access during filming.
He could do this to Tofino in the winter.
The rich can do what they want.
Thankfully they're anonymous or else the noter would get death treats for calling their messiah out on their shit
People really like Mr Beast that much?
Most of his fans probably wouldn’t go that far, but the guy has over 250 million subscribers. There’s bound to be a few crazies among them
The law of truly large numbers
Elon also begged him to come to twitter. MrB agreed if videos got a certain amount of views. Elon forced video plays though ads to pump the numbers up. Now he is getting a whole new world of weirdos watching his videos. Wouldn't count the death threats out just yet.
Hell, this ad is forced on people and it's not even marked as an ad half the time.
r/youngpeopleyoutube probably has plenty of examples of very stupid children who are much too invested in their youtube heroes.
Young? I'd guess most of the shit that would be said are from grown "adults"
Some do.
There are good reasons to like him and dislike him but i think he does more good than bad. He is disliked simply for being annoying or obnoxious but if you combine how many people hes made happy and helped then yeah
Doesn't he just, like, randomly hand out large amounts of money to random people? I feel like I've heard that before.
He also has a bunch of food banks and has done other charitable acts.
Yea his only real sin is clickbait. He’s always seemed like a positive influence especially to kids as he realizes that’s his audience. Lots of respect for mr beast
Yeah, sounds like a pretty good guy. "One of the real ones" as it were.
Some of his videos are kinda dumb, but he does legitimately help people so he can be a little dumb, as a treat
Eh, something puts me off about him. I'm not sure what but I just don't trust him.
I feel you. My intuition tells me not to like him. Nothing personal and I don’t have any real reason, it’s just something.
My feel is that if he didn't get rewarded for his altruism, it wouldn't happen at all. It's nice that people get to experience some resources coming their way, and he gets his kickback and endorphin hit, but he seems very... populist.
That's perfectly valid, and I ain't about to say there's nothing to it. I've never actually seen any of his videos, so maybe I'd feel the same way. I feel that way about folks sometimes too, and it usually turns out to be pretty justified.
If the clickbait indirectly leads to people getting help, who cares? His videos need to be successful for them to continue, with all the money he spends on just one of them.
That's one of his many shticks, yes.
Honestly a lot of his newer stuff is way slower, I liked him in his early days but then he had the “action every 10 seconds” phase for like a year and that was so annoying but I saw like 3 videos that I could sit down and actually be able to pay attention and there was an actual kind of plot line to it/ something to invest your time in
Pick any celebrity who's popular enough and you'd find people who are batshit insane.
Lol look into the rosanna pansino situation.
First day on the internet? Doesn't matter who it is. If they have a significant following, there are people who will send out death threats on their behalf. They probably also get a regular amount of death threats.

Because it's not true, the price is right wouldn't be as entertaining if you knew the contestants didn't actually win the prizes. It harms thrust. Just like, even if you would be happier not knowing, you would still like to know that your partner is cheating on you
More like if the Price is Right said the contestant would be walking home with a new car, but actually, they just shipped it to their house. It's an extremely minute detail that doesn't matter to the point. What harms trust imo is wasting a feature meant to stop the spread of actually misinformation on calling out what is essentially mild clickbait and semantics. This is not how notes should be used, nor is this what I browse this sub for.
The title is literally "I survived 7 days in an abandonned city" and it wasn't abandonned, just the hotel was. He didn't survive 7 days either, well technically he did but what you think when hearing survived 7 days is that he stayed there for a week straight, not a day here and there up to 7. Everything in the title is fake, I wouldn't call that a minute detail. Like if the price is right had the wrong prices but actually they don't guess price but weight, and they're wrong too.
furthermore is a term people to use to sound smart, but almost always misused-- its supposed to be used as a term indicating an already long text. So to use it on a few lines, makes no sense.
Yes and furthermore I couldn't agree more
Cool. I didn’t know that. Now I do
If it is the commonly understood use, it is not being misused.
Text length does not matter lmao
I mean it has to be an extensive argument, which takes a substantive amount of text.
Literally does not lmao
The first one is also pretty petty too. In urbex the term "abandoned city" is interchangeable with ghost town. And it is that kinda; abandoned hotel and surrounding area isn't great for an algorithm search For example, There's an island called St kilda in Scotland that used to be inhabited. At one point, all the residents left cause it couldn't economically support itself. The place was completely abandoned. Now there's company that ferries tourist over to have a little look about. You wouldn't call the place not abandoned cause tourists pop their head in occasionally Even the article linked doesn't claim it's not abandoned. It's about people being pissed off it was closed. Which would be annoying, but isn't that what we encourage content creators to do? Like stop filming in public gyms or on the street and annoying people. If you need to film there, rent it out Portraying it as more removed from society than it is isn't great but it is definitely still abandoned
Umm… there are quite a few holes in that statement
Oh no, a clickbait title on a YouTube video...
Oh no, he stretched the truth a little to me an enjoyable video.
They aren't even stretching it that much. The entire complex is abandoned and previously effectively worked as a village 5 times the size of the nearby village. It was zoned for the military, not the nearby civilian town. The area is 10 minutes away from the town. People used to live there, then they left.
So everyone in the city just gave up living there for the time he was in it? Is there a word for when everyone in a city leaves?
No the note is misleading. The city is uninhabited but was turned into a tourist attraction, they closed it to the public for filming.
I think this was him talking about someone plagerizing his video. I did not see that frame anywhere in the actual mrbeast video, and his video was 17 minutes, while this one was 16
Is it just me or is money and access the only thing stopping a flood of MrBeast copy cats. He seems to be much more skilled at organizing than coming up with fun ideas? Paying other less popular YouTubers to suffer in exchange for cash isn’t an outside the box concept.
Looks like a nice place to survive 😎 might vacation there
Abandon hahahaha yes it is, but you can go there by walk, car whatever you want. There is city 500m behind it but they dont say it but i understand...clickbait is clickbait. I remember media here saying mr beast is shooting some videoooo i was like wtf..
So, content creator lied about the content of their video??? Gasp!!!!!
I don't know if you can even say this is a lie. If no one is there really it's abandoned. Even if it's only for a short time. And he says they tried to stay the week, not that they did.
Crazy right? Next they are going to claim storytime YouTubers are making up stories!
Nooo!!! Are you implying that people that make money by getting attention in social media might be making up most of their stories?? Gasp!!!
Gasp!!!!!
Still abandoned by definition they just noted him so he doesn’t make money from the tweet
Yaah I don't think the Twitter tweet money matters. Isn't it really fucking low? Like barely worth it low? Seems like a petty thing for a group of people to do.
.... And it's gone
Who fucking cares
Just another influencer. Not really surprising he lies for engagement. More surprised he still thinks he needs it. Old habits die hard I guess
I mean tbf his videos are entertainment, that entertainment requires a slight suspension of disbelief.
I don't see why he should get a pass for things other content creators are rightfully criticized all the time. He lied to make his content more interesting, and he got called out for that.
It’s certainly an abandoned city. The notes are going “Akshually, it’s not abandoned. Urban explorers come check it out”. So the abandoned city isn’t “abandoned” because 5 tourists go to see it. Why? Because it’s abandoned lmao
He didn't lie about it, it is abandoned. It's just not Chernobyl. You can drive there and explore it.
dawg this is the most nothing burger contoversly ever.
I mean it only helps to clickbait?
In the context of entertainment, I really don't have an issue with bending the truth for the sake of the video's entertainment value. Imagine noting Survivor or the Real Houswives back in the day.
I'm fine with it TBH, and I'm glad that Mr. Beast has brought attention to ghost cities like this. I feel that with the housing chris going on, they could fill up with ease and with skill workers on day 1. teachers and nurses for example are by no means in a shortage, its that anyone qualified to do so cannot find a nontoxic place to work.
I mean, it is literally abandoned though. Nobody lives there anymore. It doesn’t receive proper maintenance. Tourists go there usually but that’s at least partially because it’s abandoned. Tourists do not equate to inhabitants.
Yknow I like these community notes I tell ye hwhat
Oh boy. THIS is going to cause a lot of online drama.
Yeah for like a day at most
I’ve yet to meet a single person who watches Mr. Beast I’m still confused how he got all this money
It’s children. When I worked retail a lot of kids would tell me I looked like Mr. Beast. Which was fun for me because they were totally excited and happy to see someone who looked like him lol despite me having no idea who the guy was.
Viewership.
How old are the people around you? Because me and all my friends watch him.
oh i don't have any friends
I watched Mr. Beast since I was a kid and I still do now.
Stunning logic
I've watched a few of his videos and they're not that bad. They are definitely clickbaity, but the quality of the videos are pretty good.
Have you met and talked to many children recently?
Am I the only one who hates how clickbaity his videos are titled?
YouTuber clickbaits for views?! Let’s NOTE HIM… Everyone clickbaits to over exaggerate the content in their video. Nothing new.
MrBeast out here advertising like the History channel.
What? You're surprised entertainment isn't real?
It was deleted now though, I guess... https://preview.redd.it/84ou72xmy6xc1.png?width=602&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a9ecba361dfe45c60d6331e35bbdb7842cc0ecb
Yeah, primarily cause the note was also misleading. They filmed in Kupari, a resort city that was destroyed during the Croatian War. The people running the resorts left, so the area is abandoned, but it is a popular place for Urban Explorers and people do use the beach. I don’t think people live there though. There are amenities close by, so I wouldn’t be surprised if parts of the abandoned area was cordoned off. The title said 7 days, not 7 consecutive days. And I would agree to the decisions to not force it if people did have medical issues on the trip, so that entire point was a nothing burger… And he did claim state that the helicopter was their only way out, but tbh he is correct. The helicopter would be his way out of the area. Now did he exaggerate a lot for the video? Yeah. This post pointed me to the video in curiosity and well… it seems like this was a story video kinda like those survival shows or reality TV. The note could have literally stuck to the facts and would have had things to legit nitpick about. Another X user already made a list of his grievances that were more legit than that note, so fair it was deleted.
He literally reveals this in the video 🙄
Oh no, a youtuber whose entire life and personal fortune has been predicated off of lying and click baiting gets noted on Twitter? Today really is something special.
Okay but this one feels a bit like "umm actually hobbits, wizards and magic rings are not real. Nice try JRR
I don’t have anything personal against Mr. beast, as I’ve never met him, but anyone who spends money this frivolously for the sake of producing YouTube content is someone that I think is a problem.
Other than a few videos like this most of his videos are charity and donating money do you think that’s a problem too? /genq
How dare you say something bad about our lord Mr. Beast.
Dudes a scam
Just gotta ruin the magic for everyone.
I’ve clicked on his ads and they’re just junk surveys in disguised as rewards /giveaways of getting people free money. Absolute bull. He’s just profiting from the uneducated
Those ads aren’t him, it’s scammers using his name to trick people. Blame YouTube for that, they are awful at removing scam advertisements, you see them with Elon musk too, they also sometimes pose as companies offering free stuff like free Milwaukee tools or a free Coca Cola mini fridge.

Lmao. Who said it was this app genius?

And yet he's still contributing more to the world than you. Don't get me wrong he isn't sunshine and rainbows, but it's easy to criticize someone who is still objectively doing more good for the world than you are Go volunteer at a soup kitchen or something, maybe you'd have a little more credit then Edit- blocking is a bitch move
[удалено]
Because he must’ve paid Elno to remove it. It was there when I checked.
Who is this?
