Instagram finds that AI Mr beast scams do not go against community guidelines.
These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.
After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.
Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.
For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

Mr. Beast feels so unlikable to me, I really can't understand his popularity. But that's beside the point, sorry. Fuck instagram!
My understanding is he gives a lot of his money away to various causes so I suppose that's why people like him.
But of course equally he is part of that annoying YouTuber trend of bouncing around the screen being very loud and thinking that that's a substitute for personality.
It is an interesting business model. Good for the people he spends money on, but no one should have that much money to begin with. And I am sure he takes his cut.
But without having watched many videos of him (about 2), his appearance just screams devious weasel to me.
The two biggest charity events he's had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away luxury shit and engaging in his usual hedonism during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it's not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn't he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?
Also, he definitely profited from both charity events and they were more marketing events for himself than anything. All the videos have ads and he made no mention of donating the ad revenue so one can only assume he kept it (because if he was going to donate the ad revenue he absolutely would not pass up on making that known to everyone), not to mention the amount of engagement it brought to his other videos and his brand as a whole. That's also assuming he doesn't do what most influencer charity campaigns do and directly take a big cut of the donations as a marketing fee or something.
He had you donate to him instead of directly for the same reason businesses ask you to donate to X charity at the registers - tax breaks. I mean, I'm not an account but I imagine this is why he did it that way.
oh sorry, and how many wells and schools have you made?
