However, the Youtubers’ civil war started when gaming legend, DanTDM took to X to express his disapproval of MrBeast, KSI, and Logan Paul’s recent product launch announcement. In a direct response to Dexerto’s X post, he voiced his concerns and criticism.
DanTDM wrote, “What happened to YouTubers man? I can’t say anything anymore. This is selling stuff for the sake of making money, simple. How does this benefit their fans? This is selling cr*p to kids who don’t know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them. Do Better.”

Lunchly is MrBeast’s first significant project following the controversy involving his former co-host, Ava Kris Tyson. She was a prominent figure on MrBeast’s channel. As per BBC, Tyson was involved in a scandal when allegations of sending inappropriate texts to minors surfaced in July.
In the wake of these accusations, Tyson announced she would be “permanently stepping away” from MrBeast’s channel to prioritize her family and mental well-being.
