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’m not saying there isn’t some truth to your post, but it lacks so much perspective that it’s off-putting. There are actual content creators out there spreading misinformation and dangerous ideas. Not using his platform in the exact way you want doesn’t make him a bad person or influence on his viewers. You clearly have a very dogmatic world view and I’m sure you would say this about almost any content creator.
Talk about lacking perspective lmfao… 😂
Being an exploitative profiteer who only has a platform due to being an exploitative profiteer
maybe not intentionally or in his own eyes, no, but his actions and the impact of his brand of garbage tell a different story
Yeah, it does, that’s kind of part of the problem
says the person licking the boot and pretending everything about this is fine lmfao
if they were making money by exploiting others for gain? Yeah, I would, because that’s an actively shit thing to do.
I think you have some valid points, but they all break down when you realize that, in order to continue providing the very real philanthropy he does, he HAS to have a revenue stream. And it seems like feeding his philanthropy back into the system to generate money, to do more philanthropy is a pretty good use of the systems we have in place currently.
There are plenty of people who would do similar things, and then just pocket whatever and fade into the sunset. Mr beast is essentially doing what people always praised billionaire philanthropists but he’s doing it more, and smarter.
