I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust, because…it’s reddit. I have not watched much content (not my thing, I’m old) but I’m just curious what the fediverse has to say.

Holy crap, two people with different opinions having a civilized discussion?!?!?!!
it’s nice to see more of these on Lemmy.
It really is like the old days of Reddit. We’ll really find out what Lemmy becomes if/when it hits its Eternal September.
I’d rather have a generation of clout chasers giving their money away for fame, than a generation of hoarding billionaires. I know it’s not a dichotomy, but it still serves to illustrate the point.
I’m pretty sure I accidentally double posted and tried to delete one of the comments. But now it looks like everyone replied to the deleted comment? Weird… Anyway, yeah that’s why I said I kind of agree with both. The problem with a “generation of clout chasers” are that most of them aren’t doing it by giving their money away. Clout is the reason things like the Kia Boyz challenge to steal Kias and Hyundais exist. That’s why I think it’s a teachable moment to point out that Mr Beast is good because of the good things he does and not because he’s doing it for the fame. Like just about everything in life there is pros and cons.
