It’s not, but the point is that they are typically the most vulnerable group of people. What the author wrote doesn’t imply that the problem is limited to kids.
The dead body guy is Logan Paul, he is doing a collab with MrBeast, it’s in the article.
Same with the shit Mr Beast pulls. Viewers just don't care, the dumber and more extreme the content is, the bigger the audience ultimately becomes.
It was the same with Linus Tech Tips before, completely bogus and amature opinions dressed up by tech bros with lots of noise and people actually watch it. While he lost some of his audience last year on his narcissistic rant, his views seem to have mostly recovered by now. Truly mind blowing.
The ads are generally made by people that have about 30 minutes to form their opinion on the product, and have very little industry experience. (And if they had, they'd quickly leave considering how massively underpaid the staff reportedly is)
But don't take my word, there was a bit of coverage last year after Linus previously mentioned narcissistic rant on the WAN show, where he said only his team is producing benchmarks without reusing previous runs. Which is false, and shows that he's probably the only channel that entertains the idea of doing that for more profit (but the last post is speculation by me)
