MrBeast calls out Hershey’s for “harassing” his fans with advertisements on his videos

by

As a devoted admirer of MrBeast, I couldn’t help but notice his recent pointed criticism towards Hershey’s. It seems they sneakily placed ads within his content without him knowing! As a content creator myself, I understand the importance of authenticity and transparency, and this action felt like a betrayal of that trust. I find it fascinating how MrBeast always stands up for what he believes in, and this situation is no exception. #RespectMrBeast

Jimmy, known as ‘MrBeast’, is expanding beyond his position as YouTube’s top content creator, largely due to the growing success of his chocolate bar business.

Following the debut of ‘Feastables’ in 2022, Donaldson’s confectionery business has become a staple in many large grocery stores across the United States, making it hard to miss. Not only that, but he’s dedicated himself to eradicating unethical child labor from chocolate farms in West Africa.

By taking this action, he has sparked a kind of rivalry with leading chocolate manufacturers, notably Hershey’s. Following his provocative move of positioning Feastables trucks near The Hershey Story museum in April, he is now asserting that Hershey’s is harassing his supporters through targeted advertisements.

MrBeast hits out at Hershey’s for “harassing” his fans

On May 20th, MrBeast shared a tweet that displayed an image of a Hershey’s ad on the Target mobile application. This ad showed his actions as he went about purchasing a Feastables chocolate bar from within the app.

He observed that the ad’s color palette matched the Feastables bars, featuring a combination of light blue and orange.

Additionally, he claimed that Hershey’s purchased ads on his YouTube channel and The Beast Games series on Amazon Prime, seemingly as a strategy to rival the Feastables brand.

He wrote, “When I look up Feastables on the Target website, I see an ad for Hershey products featuring our distinctive blue color.

Additionally, they purchase pre-roll advertisements on my YouTube channel as well as Beast Games. Cease bothering my followers, Hershey, since they have no desire for your presence.

When I look up Feastables on Target, an ad from Hershey appears, which interestingly features our Feastables blue color scheme.

Furthermore, they purchase pre-roll ads on my YouTube channel and Beast Games. Hershey, please cease troubling my followers; they don’t seem interested in your brand 😭

MrBeast has openly expressed his ambition to reform the cocoa sector, channeling profits from his flourishing YouTube business towards establishing hospitals for ex-child laborers in West Africa and offering complimentary breakfasts to pupils in the area.

Consequently, Donaldson reports an increase in school attendance during the initial week – one of several minor triumphs he’s acknowledging as he works towards eradicating unscrupulous activities within the industry.
