YouTube star MrBeast said Sunday that he had been invited to join a submersible trip to the Titanic wreckage but declined.
Pretty gross how people are using this to pump up their notoriety, from Beast here to the others saying they “knew” this would happen. Even if it were true, it’s not something you start bragging about. People died. Disgusting.
@Ech ehhh, someone posting “that could have been me” on their personal twitter account isn’t really “pumping up their notoriety”, more like… a normal human reaction to learning you avoided death
blame cnn for making a “news” story out of it
That “someone” has 21 million followers and makes a living on notoriety.
Deeply suspicious of that screenshot he’s using as proof, given that a blue bubble means that’s a message he sent to someone else, but he definitely seems like someone they would invite on board for a free trip.
I agree. When asked about that on his Twitter post he said “My friend sent me the screenshot of when he invited me. Didn’t think to scroll up and screenshot our old texts myself.”

“could have been on it” … but without confirming exactly who made the invitation. Interesting. He’s about to be asked publicly why he declined.
This whole thing is just so sad. How dare he take a vessel that had not been verified safe at those depths.
