    The problem here is how you present your opinion and thoughts as fact. I even agree with your opinion, but I don’t really care that he does it. I’m sure he is exploiting people to profit for himself, but at least he’s giving people things.

    There’s a lot worse out there to dedicate care and energy to.

      MrBeast named in lawsuit claiming participants in his $5 million ‘Beast Games’ show were exploited and sexually harassed

      MrBeast’s ‘charity porn’ shows the morally complicated reality of YouTube philanthropy

      I’m presenting more than just my opinion. I’m not interested in debating whether or not the relatively minor charity he does is worth it because he isn’t a charity. He’s a self-promoter, no different than a Joel Osteen, who profits off the idea that he does good. Does Osteen do some good? Sure! But the primary interest is enriching himself by exploiting others. Osteen exploits faith and desire to buy good deeds for a path to heaven for his viewers. Beast does the same vicariously for wannabe influencers and fame-seekers. Don’t you want to be rich enough to be famous and have people fawn over your deeds? A materialist’s heaven.

        Yeah you missed my point. I don’t care, I’d hate to be him, I’m not materialistic by any means.

        I’m just saying, there’s genocides and invasions going on all over the world, Mr Beasts misdeeds are not worth talking about.

        And on that note, good bye

      He might exploit people, he might even let people be sexually assaulted at his shows, the shit he does might even be super fake, but at least he kinda does it for charity but not really.
