PewDiePie calls out RiceGum and Jake Paul for promoting \u201cshady\u201d gambling sites Ricegum \/ PewDiePie \/ Jake PaulYouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg looked into the shady business practices of other popular content creators Bryan \u2018RiceGum\u2019 Le and Jake Paul in regards to the rehearsed promotion of gambling sites that reward \u201cHype Beast stuff.\u201d Although PewDiePie focused his attention to the overall ethical stance of promoting these kinds of gambling sites, he primarily took aim at the pair of YouTubers for aligning themselves with \u201csketchy\u201d sites that exploit more than reward. In his video, PewDiePie dissected how the site in question allures and deceives consumers much like the CS:GO skin gambling sites that once ran rampant, but took it further by keying in on YouTubers involved with the site who know they have influence over younger audiences. \u201cRicegum and Jake Paul have considerably young fans, and promoting a gambling website in general just seems like a bad idea for these people to do,\u201d PewDiePie said. \u201cNow obviously, [Jake Paul and Ricegum], don\u2019t care.\u201d PewDiePie noted the similarities between the frequent inappropriate nature of his content in relation to his audience demographic, though he maintained that there is an abhorrent element to YouTubers promoting harmful sites knowing they have an easily influenced viewership. Both Ricegum and Jake Paul have videos promoting these sites that seem to dole out extravagant rewards for little sacrifice, but PewDiePie suggests that that is just not the case. \u201cSeeing big YouTubers [like Jake and Ricegum] promote something like this that\u2019s clearly known to be sketchy is kinda messed up,\u201d he said. The YouTubers don\u2019t seem to fall in line with what PewDiePie would see as \u201cthe most morally ethical\u201d personalities on the site, and their part in the promotion is only continuing the trend of scamming viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
