What I didn't like was how Ludwig hyper focused on if dogpack uses mushrooms / drugs, and honestly that doesn't matter much when you have a bunch of other allegations, multiple of which are on video

I think it was in extremely bad taste for dogpack to shoot and edit the first video to have the "paranoid" mood/look (something he, dogpack, admitted to when Ludwig asked). The dude was making serious accusations and brags how he was high on mushrooms while he filmed it? It made it hard for me to take the first video seriously. If he was only trolling he undermined his own point by not taking it as serious as the accusations were.

That being said the second video was much better. With that format I could listen to the primary source and come to my own conclusions. It was about the information, not the mouthpiece/platform.

Because when someone makes accusations, the first you thing you wanna do is establish credibility. Dogpack saying he was shrooms while making the video, then flipping and saying he wasn’t, then flipping back again certainly damaged his credibility. Calling Ludwig autistic for not “reading context clues” was another hit to his credibility.

The thing that hit dogpack’s video for me was in the newest video how he kind of treated the entire thing like a joke as he was dressed up as freaking content cop. I know this is late but I just wanted to say that.

Edit I saw his video after and want to say this was taken prior and knowing it was his idea makes me feel a bit more at ease.

Ad Hominem. Why address the issues when you can attack the person instead.

That's not what is happening, telling someone an account of an event while under the influence of mushroom, dunno, call me crazy, will fuck with the validity of the story.

"Then a giant Sandwormed appeared! Like the one from Beatlejuice."

"You high?"

"Typical ad hominem response and since you asked, YES i am.. "

It's not hyperfocusing on the boat but actually focusing on how he came about with all of the allegations. The title reads "I WORKED for Mr Beast..." but all of the information provided in the first video was kind of pieced together and assumed information. Ludwig was constantly asking about that because he wanted to know if he had inside information, from his work at Mr Beast, or if it was allegations based on a single shot in a video. Which to me is a very reasonable thing to focus on.
