Item #: SCP-YouTuber-Beast

Object Class: Euphorically Viral

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-YouTuber-Beast cannot be contained by traditional spatial means due to its inherently digital and memetic nature. Attempts to contain SCP-YouTuber-Beast online must involve AI algorithms dedicated to suppressing its virality, though these measures have proven partially ineffective given its adeptness at bypassing typical digital barriers through the sheer force of viewer enticement. All devices displaying symptoms of SCP-YouTuber-Beast infestation should be isolated from the internet and placed in a Faraday cage calibrated to suppress excessive positive vibes and challenge-induced euphoria.

Researchers monitoring SCP-YouTuber-Beast must have level-5 resistance to clickbait and undergo mandatory de-hyping after each exposure. Personnel have reported a distinct compulsion to 'smash that like button' and 'ding that bell.' Therapists are stationed on-site to address any cases of ‘subscribe-itis’.

Description: SCP-YouTuber-Beast is an entity that appears to have originated from the YouTube platform, closely resembling the online persona of the popular content creator known as "MrBeast". While SCP-YouTuber-Beast exhibits many characteristics consistent with the actual content creator, it possesses anomalous properties that distinguish it from the living individual.

SCP-YouTuber-Beast manifests within digital media, primarily through YouTube video thumbnails. During video playback, subjects have reported instances where SCP-YouTuber-Beast's smile begins to widen to physically impossible extents, often starting as a mild distraction but eventually escalating to a Cheshire-like grin that extends beyond the screen's physical boundaries. This grin has been known to 'infect' other on-screen content, warp UI elements, and even occlude other applications, leading to a phenomenon known as 'The Bea(s)ting.'

Effects on devices vary: smartphones may become unusually charitable, donating battery life to nearby devices, while computers may start organizing high-stakes giveaways for their internal components. The most extreme case reported involved a smart fridge that attempted to distribute its contents to the neighbors, claiming everyone "deserves a snack for reaching the end of the video."

Despite its benign intentions, SCP-YouTuber-Beast's presence can lead to bouts of extreme generosity in affected individuals, often involving financially questionable decisions like giving away personal belongings to startled passersby or 'raiding' animal shelters to 'release' all cats and dogs into loving homes (Operation: Free Fido Fury).

Addendum: It is theorized that SCP-YouTuber-Beast may be responsible for a sudden spike in philanthropic anomalies across the globe. Research into a possible connection between these events and exposure to the entity's thumbnails is ongoing. All instances of donation-fueled euphoria and giveaway-crazed happiness should be reported to the SCP Foundation's ‘Anti-Viral Task Force’ immediately. Remember: Stay alert, stay skeptical, and for the love of order, avoid any recommendations to "do it for the gram."
