    I don’t disagree with Mr Beast being a scammer and abuser, and I also don’t disagree with a domain not being untrustworthy just because it’s a .com domain.

    That being said, I should point out that the news/media isn’t exactly reliable. NBC is no exception. Even if the article is true (which it most likely is), I wouldn’t blame someone for not trusting NBC.

      I get it that the media is captured by billionaires but my point is that I don’t think that NBC, a network that has been around for 100 years, would put their reputation on the line to publish lies about a random wealthy YouTuber, who likely has lawyers on retainer that could sue for libel if they really were making stuff up.
