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.
The main problem is that his videos are like “I saved 1000 kids from the orphan grinding machine!”, and I’m just like, why is the orphan grinding machine even a thing.
Like when he restored sight to 1000 blind people. It’s a good thing, but also, it’s a drop in the bucket and why isn’t public healthcare doing that for all blind people?
Your problem with him is that he tries to help people that society isn’t? That’s a weird beef to have.
Right, there are a ton of systemic issues, but unfortunately someone like Mr beast can’t really do anything about that. What he can do is his best within the system we have, and the resources and platform he has. He also seems like he genuinely wants to just help people. I think overall, he’s pretty clearly a force for good given the totality of the situation.
Yeah, I don’t think your issue is with Mr Beast in this scenario lol
And that’s fine. But given he can’t just magic public healthcare, does that make his drop in the ocean “bad”?
