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.
I’ve never watched any of his content but I’ve been loosely following the discussion (so I’m clearly more than qualified to comment and have my opinion be taken entirely serious).
What he does is obviously fantastic for the individual people receiving help, whether he does it out of genuine concern or for the attention. There are however concerns that he’s (involuntarily) distracting from efforts to actually fundamentally change stuff about how our society works. Nothing he does goes to the root of any issues, it’s just treating symptoms.
And he literally recreated Squid Game. I don’t know wtf to think about that.
Yeah he’s treating a symptom, but at the same time it’s kinda all he can do. An individual has scant little ability to change an economic system, but they can still use their resources to better those around them.
