Upon seeing his work used in the video, CG Geek was elated and urged others to watch the video too. But he also notably said he did not receive any credit for his work. He said in a follow-up tweet, “Honestly I’m super flattered and think it’s cool – but others have been saying it’s stealing because MrBeast used it without permission or credit.”
While he was not blaming the YouTuber in any way, his claims made MrBeast the target of online critics. And they sent out their harsh critique on this matter, citing artistic recognition.
The use of fellow YouTuber’s work causes a heated debate online
Critics have commented on how MrBeast did not give his fellow YouTuber the credit he deserves. A critic said, “It’s on the fence because of the 5-second rule. I would think MrBeast, given his rep as the nicest guy in the world would have tossed you some crumbs. Guess not.”
It’s called “Stealing”

I hope you didn't give it for free and that you are also credited properly.

However, some fans have also come forward to defend the YouTuber, claiming he does not edit his own videos. A fan notably said, “I am surprised they didn’t reach out but some editors just don’t care about copyright and will quite literally pass shit off as their own sometimes. I’m sure if MrBeast sees this he will want to sort this out if you don’t feel 100% about it.“
Like it's your opportunity to profit or cry from it.
He is not abusing various srcs to make a bigger video of cr, and to me 5s it's totally fair use, even 10s— Gabriel O Lúcido (@h3gon101) August 14, 2023
i mean editors fault so he should talk to them about this and make a rule about downloading videos from youtube without crediting people
