>For example, locking a dude in a room for days on end with no mental health evaluation beforehand to see if he can handle the psychological stress that might induce.

Note this is MrBeast doing it to himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_CbgLpvH9E

I think that changes the ethics a bit. If he decides to potentially psychologically torment himself for his channel, I don't think it's a big deal that he didn't give himself a mental health evaluation beforehand.

(I'm aware he has a similar video with random contestants as well. But either way, I think this particular criticism is a little too hand-wringy. It's not being forced upon anyone and they can leave at any time.)

IMO the biggest issue is the allegation he rigs some of the game shows. That's definitely unethical.
