YouTube star Logan Paul his hitting back at critics of his ‘Lunchly’ collaboration with fellow influencer MrBeast after viewers slammed the product on social media. On September 16, YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI revealed a major partnership between their beverage brand, Prime Hydration, and MrBeast’s line of Feastables chocolate bars. The result? Lunchly, a direct competitor to Lunchables, packed lunch kits that can be bought in stores and are usually marketed toward students and school children.
The immediate response from netizens wasn’t positive, though. Both regular viewers and fellow influencers lashed out at the product, with names like xQc labeling it “cancer.” YouTuber DanDTM was one of the more outspoken content creators, writing in a viral tweet: “What happened to YouTubers, man? I can’t not say anything anymore.
This is selling stuff for the sake of making money, simple. How does this benefit their fans? “This is selling crap to kids who don’t know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them.” A day later, Paul shot back at DanDTM in a biting quote-retweet.
“I’ll tell you what happened to YouTubers,” he wrote. “We spent our lives creating content and building our brands. Now we want to build businesses.
“You don’t say anything when Lunchables faces bans for allegedly containing LEAD but when we create a better version, you’re upset? Then don’t eat it.” I’ll tell you what happened to YouTubers We spent our live.
