At first, viewers thought that the video reflected a real struggle for survival, but research and information revealed that this was not the case. MrBeast and his team paid to prevent tourists and locals from entering the area during the video shoot. This popular seaside area in the south of Dubrovnik is actually heavily visited by tourists and locals alike. Nevertheless, MrBeast rented the hotel complex for the video for 31,500 euros and no one was allowed to wander around the area during filming.
Kupari allegedly abandoned
The revelation of this information caused great disappointment among MrBeast’s fans. Many people who have seen the video think that it is not a real adventure, but rather a controlled production. It is also stated that the‘7-day‘ period in the video was not actually filmed consecutively and was spread over a longer period of time due to health problems.
Allegations that MrBeast’s videos are coercive and unrealistic could shake viewers’ trust in the YouTuber. The famous YouTuber has not yet made an official statement on this issue. This has reignited debates about how digital content producers draw the line between audience expectations and reality. It remains to be seen how MrBeast and his team will communicate with the audience after this incident.
