- The Right Opinion - The Attack On MrBeast | TRO
Intro:
Here and there, I’ve dropped the mention of media, often in a less than favourable tone, and often it does seem abstract to me, that something, which, before I started paying attention to the internet, I never was really particularly bothered by, now really frustrates me as a medium. This is, in part, because I never really used it, my childhood experience of the PC constituted of FIFA Manager, and a brief spell in a Call of Duty clan, a venture that will forever bemuse me, though it did yield some pretty epic throwing knife montages. I told you guys I was a man of many talents.
But anyway, before I get lost in the forest that is my own ego, we were discussing the media. When I started using online sites, it rapidly became clear to me how many sites had agendas to push, I remember the 2015 UK General Election, when the Daily Mail posted a tactical voting guide on how to keep Labour out on their front page, despite the fact that, as a radio host myself at the time, not being allowed to express any political views pre-election. The media do have extensive freedom, and damn do they milk that.
I realised it then, but it never really caused me any concern, because people did seem to see through such a vapid attempt to manipulate the many audiences, no, not until year of 2016, when I decided to pursue this damned CZcams dream, did I encounter my initial qualms. Social media, particularly that on Twitter, seemed to focus on reactionary titles, exceptionally poor reporting, and the farthest reaching within their legal realms, aimed at masking fallacies with facts. Ones that which, although not libelous, I always found pretty manipulative. I think this has become more apparent over the last few years as certain figures have provoked that narrative into the open, often bringing it into scrutiny. A person who has practically become the media nemesis is obviously American President Donald Trump, I don’t want to go into too much detail, but his election was a real indictment to a media almost entirely hostile to him and his beliefs. I think that was a turning point for when I realised that wasn’t exactly working out, I wasn’t particularly happy but I saw it coming.
Many people disagree to the extent of the toxicity of modern journalism, however, one situation that brought creators, near and far, together, was the situation surrounding MrBeast. Now, MrBeast, is a creator who bases his channel, in part, around philanthropy, that is, handing out the dollar to the less fortunate, he often finds creative ways to do it at least, while balancing this with content based on ideas so absurdly intriguing that they pull the views to fund his generosity, although he did say most of his money nowadays comes from deals beyond the CZcams platform, as the monetisation process hasn’t been particularly merciful towards him, either way, it’s a reproductive process, and long may it last.
The Atlantic must’ve seen his success, and thought “how can we get a good click out of that”, and then thought “scandal”, so reads this title.
CREDITS BELOW THIS PARAGRAPH:
Firstly, sorry if the opening audio is quieter in comparison to the others, don’t know how it’s happened but it has. I’m incredibly busy right now so if I don’t respond to too many comments I apologise. I’ll be back in form by the end of next week. You can still reach me elsewhere if you wanna talk specifically to me. ALSO, when I use the word "biased", I should probably say subjective. Although there are definitions that definitely support my use of it. I don't mean to cause confusion.

The Right Opinion why is your name the right opinion
Ironic joke that's gone too far at this point tbh.
Nah it's catchy enough, as long as people understand the irony then I don't see it as a negative thing.
The Right Opinion ~ Love the intelligent, well-researched and informational video 🧐
The Right Opinion How long did this masterpiece of a video?
Oh you used to be a radio host, that's why your delivery feels very professional. Tbh you are one of my fav commentary channel and you always makes it comprehensive, love your videos.
Thank you!
True.
The Right Opinion nah, you’re absolute shit.
Jk, don’t hit me, dad!!!
Same
BORING!
So a news site is slandering Mr. Beast as homophobic?
Well that’s gay
BayLaugh Animations Lol
big gay
Dummy big gae
Ur mom gæ
Neeko Animations no ü
While I understand the reasons why the mainstream media hates CZcams, I think those guys were the same guys who said that rock is the devil's music and that Y2K will mark the end of civilization.
Ryan Leatigaga Yeah. The MSM should take some chill pills sometimes.
Don’t forget Techno music as well the religious right thinks that it’s rhythmic devil voodoo music!
and not all media is bad, there's always bad reporters, just like there's bad youtubers
Christ you kiddies expose yourselves sometimes. That wasn't the media, kiddo. And this bizarre and childish belief that "the msm hate youtube' doesn't bare any resemblance to the actual real world.
Rainbow Doodler209 STOP ADVOCATING FOR XANAX ABUSE, YOU DEMON!
I cried a bit...
When you mentioned club penguin
Tis but a phase, lad.
Life will arise like a Phoenix... if you just BELIEVE!
@Pixel Bit Studios f
The news went from being a useful source of information to uneseccary headlines of them chasing trends and starting controversy
Coelex Productions Yeah, and this is just scummy as heck. MSM going out of it's way to make clickbait.
It’s always been unreliable and scandalous. If you look into yellow journalism and muckraking you’ll be pretty shocked
2 years later and this comment still stands. I’ve wondered if this is because I’m getting older and paying more attention or if they’re really ramping this shit up. Because I see it from both right and left, or even sports. Like, there are times where I’m watching CZcamsrs who are taking sports news and analysis more seriously than other shows on espn. Like ever since they put Lavar Ball on their show knowing damn well he was trolling, they have not stopped putting trash reporters on their shows. Now they’ve became the very thing they’ve fought against on some Anakin Skywalker shit.
How do you not have more subs? Seriously, you deserve like, a million subs for these videos.
the right opinion must have a super high IQ....The way he explains stuff is almost unmatched.
There's a starman waiting in the sky bruh weren’t you on an etika video earlier or something
There's a starman waiting in the sky Also Speedwagon was best in Stardust Crusaders, when he wasn’t there.
LocalTokenBlackKid we all know kakyion is best
I've been nonstop watching his stuff and just realized I wasn't even subscribed! Definitely subbed thanks for the reminder :p
New right opinion video
*grabs popcorn and turns on big screen*
Excellent choice
*I can see the headline now.*
"The Right Opinion? Mote like 'The Far Right Opinion'. Commentary CZcamsr claims the media is 'too hostile' towards the US President."
Everyone, is jumping on The Trump Hate Train it's the popular Bandwagon.
A celebrity says how ppl should think and everything just follows along
This is Della K. Sigler. Unless they are a conservative then we should champion them as a “free thinker”
It's not like he hasn't earned his treatment 🤷🏿♀️
Which is funny considering TRO is a social libertarian afaik. Pretty much a leftie!
Holy cow well this is gonna be interesting, I haven’t mentioned this before but I have to say this, you are one of the most articulate commentators I’ve seen, which sadly is something that most commentators don’t actually pull off. The fact that you had a cited sources and such amazing editing is honestly stunning, in a way you remind me of a CollassialIsCrazy that didn’t take a hiatus and continued improving, amazing video man
Thanks man, I'm trying to bring Colossal back from the dead
To be Frank I feel you're becoming better then him
@@TLord chill with that
dId I hEaR nEcRoMaNcY?!
Came expecting some tea, but got a giant dunk on media instead...
I see this as an absolute win
13:15 Hearing TRO use a southern accent is the literal funniest thing I've heard in forever
I really enjoyed this video, but my one gripe with it is the title. This video is not really about Mr. Beast and what happened to him, but more of a deconstruction of Media vs. CZcams and I feel the video as a whole should reflect that.
Yeah I agree, I kept forgetting that the video was even about MrBeast tbh
I think it's an artistic statement in that the title of the video containing Mr. Beast reflects the title of the article on his homophobic comments.
You deserve way more views and subscribers man! A1 content much love brother!
Hello Jamari!
Hi bro
Good news, he has finally broken 1 mill
Mufcan tan Superman in this bitch
YOOO
Hypothesis: this gone be good
will post findings after intense research, standby.
I like your hypothesis
You remind me of Colossal is Crazy. Similar accent, great editing.
Nice video, man
Thank you! :)
FramedComic *better editing
His accent isn’t really similar lol. But it is English and educated. So I don’t blame you.
There’s this one channel that’s quite good, with a Cthulhu headed dude, and he sounds almost exactly like colossal. It’s weird.
Jeremy Corbin ...no. It’s good editing, but no. Go watch FouseyTube part 2 from colossal. It’s astounding.
Not you too with the Ali-A intro.😂
Can't resist a good meme ;)
@Aiden oh no
I recently graduated college with a BS in Communications. Leading up to my graduation, I attended various career fairs the school put on, one of them specifically put on by the Communications department. MrBeast was actually one of the "companies" that was to come and look for new employees. I had never heard of him before, but I saw he was a fairly successful youtuber and I decided to try and see if anything would come out of it. I had talked with the professor who was in charge of communicating with each of the attendees and she said he would be there, but attendees can sometimes run a little late. After I had looked and talked with the other companies, I stayed behind for a bit to wait for him to show up. He never showed up, so I eventually left. Found out the next day he literally never showed up, hadn't contacted the school, and didn't respond to any messages questioning their absence.
10/10 first impression of him.
If the mainstream media wanted to write a good story on Mr.Beast they should have made it a discussion around economics in the ever-growing 1% as well disparaging population of people who are working more hours than they ever have and modern times. In depth look at wages being significantly less than what they were decades ago. Of course this would have been more reflective of the politics of the author in question but it would carry much more sincerity then the inflammatory articles we see in today's landscape.
Android Apex
"I like the story, Apex, I do- but it's not really... sensational... enough. It's not gonna pull in readers. Go back to your desk, write me a piece that'll really catch people's eyes, and see me by Monday. Oh, and try for the scandal route. People love a good scandal."
I believe what's the most infuriating thing about modern-day journalism is the Insidious implications that are quite prominent in these papers. There's Blanton loophole that comes from them where they're ruining one's reputation but since they're not explicitly accusing you of anything but leaving in these cinerary implications becomes a problem for any celebrity on the internet on the rise.
Exactly
"Alledgedly" is the get out of jail free word.
P
This channel has earned, and then continued to prove itself to be the QUINTESSENTIAL commentary channels on CZcams. Every video is in equal parts entertaining and informative, and your uploads have become something that I anticipate greatly. Awesome video as usual.
Wow, the pompous Brit's got memes.
Tasty.
I was cheering Elon on the whole time. I couldn't believe how many checkmarks were in his comments freaking tf out, lol. He pisses them off in a way few people can, and I love it.
Celebrity status gives him an easier edge, because people will get easily offended by an idol.
@Aditya Chavarkar Yeah that's what I said. You can tell, cause I said that, and not...
"I enjoy how he pisses them off."
Finally, a man I can feel gay for in peace
s p e a k
Seriously, how is the channel only at 30k subs?
These videos are Colossal level quality, yet this man posts consistently.
New huge fan, new patron. Keep it up buddy, amazing content i've seen so far.
I'm about 8 minutes in and already blown away by your style of analysis. You're a logical poet.
I just relised that tro is short for your name idk I think I'm having a stroke help
RIP
I stared at this for two minutes before I realized you were saying it's short for The Right Opinion and not James

As a fourth year student in sociology and psychology: "thank you so much for your good content and intellectual contribution, as well as an effective representation of critical thinking!"
We are the most informed people who've ever lived on the planet. We're also the most misinformed. Oh well. Enjoyed the vid!
Is it bad that I've got a distaste for the BBC because they are heavily linked with the government so their articles (especially political articles) can be a bit biased towards the party who's in government?
No thats called common sense, state run media is always bad.
@@bigyoshi2893 I know that this is a late af comment, but the generalisation that state run media = Bad media is really not a good way to look at it since it assumes that private media would be more reliable, whereas in real life, private media has just as many if not more agendas than state media.
BBC is an interesting example since they arent usually biased towards the current party. In fact BBC is classically a Left wing - labour supporting outlet and the party in power has been conservative for several years
@@andrewduan5123 these days the private push more agendas
@Randall Paquet I live in the UK and tbh there's no news ever about the royals. The only time there's news is when the Queen does a speech or when one of them is ill.
You'd hear more about the queen (ironically) in government. The British government is owned by the queen (though she has no power) so members of the house will refer to the the government as "her majesty's government".
Honestly the queen isn't really a big deal. She's more of a big deal in the US then the UK and the former colonies even less.
@Randall Paquet where did you get the idea the monarchy had an affect on politics from?
its dumb when people bring up dirt from a while ago just because.
like really, i did stuff i regret last freaken week, why does something someone did half a decade ago going to matter today?
as much as i dislike Mr. Beast's content, this is unfair and horrible.
Adam Eason I agree. I could make a bunch of examples where this exact thing happened to other CZcamsrs.
I would normally agree with you but there was a specific comedian who was clearly homophobic who got this treatment and quite frankly justified
@@AbdallahTeach what comedians? Kevin heart? He made a homophobic joke and was not invited to host the Emmies, his pockets didnt give a fuck.
keep at it, these are very refreshing break-downs and your humor is on par!
Now *this* is epic.
You know it
Congrats on 30K subscribers.
Thank you!
The Right Opinion you deserve soooo much more I’m certain it’s gonna blow up 😎
I honestly love watching the media lash out against those who criticize them. It's entertaining to watch people who realize that their power in society is rapidly waning grasp at straws in a vain attempt to slow their own inevitable destruction. The best part is that their own shitty practices have brought it upon themselves. It's downright Shakespearean.
Augie Spendley This basically sums up the dying media anyways.
As the years pass, business in traditional media will become more and more volatile. They're just trying to resist the influence of newer alternative media because they know it eats at their profits.
It never ceases to amaze me how much effort goes into your videos. Keep up the good work, man! Love your work.
The way you break down things is amazing, better than even content cop in the way that you are able to analyze the different premises and character traits. I feel like you should mention logical fallacies more in future videos!
i love these long videos!!!
Glad you do :)
Vareus Loxiu what
Somewhere in this video I forgot it was about Mr. Beast and thought I clicked on a video about Pewdiepie.
you've got great editing, love the work thrown into all the transitions
Oi, i have watched and downloaded a lot of your videos. Just sending a line of support- great stuff, def a new favorite CZcams channel for me!
The insight you’ve given into the CZcams community has made me realize it is similar to the deeper humor twitter community, which I was a part of for a couple years but have been on hiatus for around a year now. It’s odd how these simple little things that are fun and a joy actually have a nearly political inner working.
Thanks for the entertainment and such! 💫
Good job TRO sadly you wont be my "little" fav channel forever, had like 40k before. Gj you'll hit a milli soon. Your articulation is unparalleled homie
You have put words to a lot of my feelings towards media, holy cow. I love this video so much!
Something I read on Reddit that stuck with me was that traditional news sources did not adapt pay methods very well to the internet, going instead for the Free website access. Now we have a whole generation who have grown up on free online news that they are way less likely to pay subscriptions - meaning news organizations rely on ad revenue, which incited this horrible trend of clickbait titles and targeted attacks.
If we get a neutral news source to swoop in with Netflix-like business mindsets, I feel like there is potential for quite a large user base.
you tube recommended algorithm finally hit on a cool creator, love your stuff man found and subbed you yesterday I'm hooked now. Keep up the killer editing and narrating man you do great work.
This is basically a documentary. Good shit as usual, TRO.
Throwing in "The bastard" very quickly always gets me
the drunken sailer plays a litle bit in the intro
i live for the editing in your videos
It's a great job
Your editors do an amazing job with their work. It feels like they can go a bit overboard sometimes, but damn if they don't do a good job nonetheless.
(P.S., The fact you give them attention at the end? Very admirable.)
My god. Your editing is phenomenal!
Also, your voice is absolute milk for the ears. Great video!
Those sluuuurs (goddamit, why is your voice so hot?!)
PS your content is some of the best on this platform. Your editors do a great job. I also really appreciate how well researched and on point your videos are. It's really refreshing to find someone who elaborates their opinion on rational arguments rather than "that's my opinion, and if you have a different opinion you suck."
You are very talented at editing man idk how you dont have more views and how you keep doing it
This video and what it’s teaching could really stand to be HEAVILY recirculated today. Great work, my friend.
why do you always upload before my bedtime! i gotta watch this now... damn :D (still very much appreciated!)
Really enjoy your videos your narration just grabs my attention and keeps me so interested, keep it up!!
25:33 it's like the wiki page for Glass Ceiling where most/all of citations are opinion pieces...
I agree with this a lot, especially since I’ve gotten a lot more exposure to the news lately. Everything seems to be biased nowadays, and even with people I don’t particularly like or agree with, I can feel sorry for them because of how harshly the media attacks them. Good to know you still seem relatively unbiased, TRO. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Well that's gay
I'm trans and bi, I grew up hearing that anything bad was gay, whilst being told by my parents that it's perfectly normal. I believe they did tell me not to use that language and I even used to use the word spastic as a derivative despite having a brother (that I love) with epilepsy. The words that people use are not always indicative of their true personal opinion. That being said, I haven't used either of those words as derogatives in years.
Thanks for the work you put into your videos. Your effort definitely shows. Keep up the good work!
I love your videos, they are really nice to listen to while having my morning coffee. Thanks for being cool keep it up
I feel like you're seriously underestimated for the quality of your content, keep up the great work!
i absolutely love this editing, and great vid, bud :D
You just earned a sub. Impressive presentation, though a little heavy on the effects and well researched. Honestly, your channel is far too underrated for how good it is.
Funny how we supposedly left "yellow journalism" a long time ago, and yet we're at almost the exact same thing now.
Love your vids so much!! Your channel is very underrated! You definitely deserve more subscribers!!
I'm glad this is still being covered by the commentary community. And, while I have previously, from her other articles, considered Taylor Lorenz a pretty good journalist, I think the piece she did on MrBeast was unapologetically slanderous, whether she meant it to be or not. And beyond that, I hate how, towards the end of her piece, she wrote that "homophobia is deeply rooted in the CZcams community." Such an idiotic statement could not be further from the truth...
Without a doubt
I love these long discussion your voice is very relaxing XD
Just found ya last night.
Been watching your back log. You're really sharp.
Editing and voice over was superb as usual my friend.
I listen to your content like a podcast. Keep it up! :)
This is such a horribly underrated channel why do you not have more views???
Omigod, I wanna hear TRO's radio hosting
Who dafuck DIDN'T call things "gay" at some point in middle/high school. As someone Mr Beast's age, I think this is something worth bringing up. "gay" and "retarded" were pretty damn common descriptors from 2006-2012 - at least in MY life experience
Yea I called things gay all the time as a kid. 😳
13:11 the voice acting chops great stuff
Haha thanks
Such a good take on this rage=inducing matter. And amazing video quality. And a really lovely voice.
Happy New Year to you, Kind Sir xxxxxxxx
The editing on this video is very satisfying
It's kinda funny how mrbeast has basically turned into a "watch me blow money you'll never have" channel,
God how times change.
I've been subbed to that guy since before 100k and completely forgot I subbed to him. He freaking blew up. Glad he still seems like a good guy.
Gotta admit though, you did have some REALLY good knife montages
Very well done video. I think it describes how many people feel about modern day media. You could probably make an entire video about the lunacy of those snapchat ads/ "articles"
I'm guessing journalism sites don't know the phrases "context matters" and "apples and oranges."
The production value of your videos is getting insane haha. I wish CZcams didn't have a hate boner for legitimate discussion because you've earned far more exposure than you have
Genius, billionaire, CZcams philanthropist
(Had to make an Avengers reference when I heard you say 'philanthropist')
Dude I have found you randomly and just devoured your content keep up the work, and stay reasonable!
ayyyyy
Ayyyy
The Right Opinion ayyyyyyyyyyyy
Forget about it
jonah hill ayyyyyyyy
you need a lot more subscribers man. i mean your not babbling in your videos, you actually put a lot of thought into your topics and its appreciated by people that watch more than 3 minutes.
This is an amazing video and it gave me a better understanding of this Media vs YT fiasco. Thank you for this video sir and I look forward to seeing more. Best of luck to your channel dude and greetings from the USA. =)
This channel is absolutely legendary.
14:48 Jerma about to play 700,000 games. I think someone's a fan.
You know, for the longest time I always had trouble explaining why I felt that the current news media, no matter how insightful it claimed to be, always felt like I was reading the latest tabloid scandal about whomever was the victim of the week. This video actually helps explain why I was having these feelings about news media in general, and why I can no longer trust anything the news puts out even in my own country. So, yeah, bit of a late response to this video, but I'm glad you posted this a long while back, and you might just have a subscriber now.
Ura for the sleep person, probably the best voice for it
I send you my love right now, this video is awesome.
Usually you cover the topic so fully that I have nothing to add. Today is the same. Thank you.
Mainstream media : "Now we're not supposed to give our opinion..."
_in comes youtube and critics_
*"BUT....."*
Good takes that anyone down the middle or moderate on either side can understand and generally agree with, even if there are points where opinions may differ slightly.
20:29 you cut out the *t* from 'exist' bro
I was actually studying journalism at uni. One of the reasons I dropped out was because they explicitly told us to focus on seo and making our titles as eye grabbing as possible as long as they were technically true.
3:51 I'm dying, suddenly seeing you as a sassy drag queen stretching those letters 🤣 I can't
Ah yes, I remember when it took quite a bit to get to the video topic. He’s improved a lot imo good job
Love the video, you presented your arguments really well keep up the amazing content
I genuinely really enjoy your videos, and I appreciate how informed and well thought through they usually are. Unfortunately this stands out as not a very well done one. I'm not a journalist, I dont study media and I am not a fan of mainstream media in most cases, that being said this is worrying as a hot take. It has continuous misunderstandings as to how journalism works, how news organizations work, and just general exaggerations. The title of the video the most clickbaity I have seen on your channel, and the entire video is misleading at best, and at worst manipulative. You make some really good points, but they lack the understanding of how media works ex. Talking about "fact baiting" this a very good point and a great term I would love to see discussed more, but you blame the writers of the piece for it, when in reality it is generally the editor who makes those decisions. It might seem like a nitpick, but it's these kind of small misleading moments that make me wonder if you should have made a video like this without knowing much about how the media works. You display the media as just that "the media" as if it is some big conglomerate who is in cahoots and all rubbing their hands together muttering about how to take down pewdiepie of all people. Going from one news source to another showing bad headlines may seem like a super idea to get your point across, but in reality it just makes it very clear that either you dont know or you don't care about the complex reality of these organizations. Showing the daily mail and wsj as signs that the media hates youtubers is really almost laughable if you actually know the media landscape as it exists. The wjs and daily mail are notoriously some of the worst publications in terms of reputation while not being outright being called tabloids, especially in relation to new forms of media. Also calling wsj "woke media" is so bad. So so so so bad. I know it is an opinion and maybe your are really right leaning but I am sorry that is just flat incorrect, wow. It just seemed like you were cherry picking the fuck out of a huge diverse and complex network just so can have a rant other misinformed people will agree with. I like a lot of your points, I think there is an interesting discussion to be had about labeling everyone who makes money of CZcams as CZcamsrs, but I just really feel you may have bitten off more than you can chew here. I just dont think this video is up the the quality you usually maintain. It's old, so maybe that is the issue, but the mistakes are to the point that keeping it up might not be the greatest idea, but that's just my opinion. If you ever read this comment maybe consider giving this video a rewatch, see how you feel. It's not downright evil or even without merit, but I have high expectations for this channel because you generally exceed them.
Criminally underrated channel.
