But why should we care if he is getting a lot in return, if the end result is... Doing good things? Again, there are so many rich people who don't do even the bare minimum shit, so why are people dog piling on the one that does?
Performative acts of charity to stroke your own ego is tacky, regardless of how much you helped.
remember when he paid for eye surgery for 1000 people and then got dogpiled on for it?
You say it's not a dog pile, but people literally go on and on, en masse, about how "tacky," or "greedy," or whatever else it is that he does these things. Do you know how many celebrities and other rich people do literally nothing, or only do some kind of small gesture when a disaster strikes? This guy is constantly doing good things. Hell, he came out in a very vehement, harsh defense of his transgender friend, even knowing it could have hurt his standing and his view count. I'm not saying we should be celebrating the guy, but I am saying... Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to immediately jump to "This is only performative!" when he's doing so much more than like 99% of people with money.Were not whatabouting other celebrities. Were talking about him and his motivations for why he does this. Plenty of celebrities donate to charity or start their own causes without making the less fortunate a spectacle for views.

Because they can literally afford to because they're rich from other things. He, literally, cannot keep doing good things if he stops making videos, because his money would run out incredibly quickly. The videos ARE his income. Why is this apparently so hard for people to get? Again, this sounds like you deciding to get mad on behalf of people who are benefitting from what he does, without any proof that any of them are actually upset.Again, Im not complaining on behalf of the people he helped. Im acknowledging that hes not doing this purely out of charity. Its narcissism and greed disguised as philanthropy. Idk whats so hard to understand about that.

You literally are, though, because your entire argument is "He's exploiting them for views." That'd only be a problem if they actually feel exploited. Thus, you are, literally, deciding FOR them that they feel exploited.If thats the way you want to twist my words, go for it.

I'm not twisting anything. You literally said it.Yes you are. And no one said he was worse. Youre not very good at discussion/debate. This YouTuber worship is out of hand.
Can you prove they care, or that they feel they are a "spectacle?" Can you prove they'd rather NOT receive what he did for them? If you cannot, then you are literally attempting to speak for them.
Again, you haven't answered for the fact that those celebrities can afford to do things without making Youtube videos, since they're rich from being actors, singers, born into wealth, etc., and so on, whereas Mr. Beast's income is, quite literally, his videos. Why does that make you feel like you need to attack Mr. Beast? Why is he somehow worse than the people who do less, despite having more?

I mean, lets be real here, you are also speaking for them too. Like, even if people were unhappy looking back retrospectively at being chosen to be saved from worst moment of their life (And so many people on the planet seeing them in that said worst moment) for it to become a viral video on youtube, not many are going to speak out because no one wants to look ungrateful. You can never know how other people feel about all this when they look back on it retrospectively or really understand how much someone else values their privacy over other things. I think probably, most of them think it was a fair exchange, but who fucking knows.
Ive said my piece, youve said yours. Clearly neither of us are going to change our viewpoints. Lets agree to disagree.

The problem with this is that I'm not saying they feel anything. I'm saying they haven't SAID they feel exploited, and thus it's silly to just... Say they've been exploited. Yes, you can't know how people feel. But I'm not saying how they feel, I'm just saying they HAVEN'T said they feel X, vs. people saying "It's X." I don't know how they're feeling, either. But what I can say, objectively, is that they haven't said X, and thus people on the internet shouldn't be saying "It's X." Because they have no more insight than I do.
Like, ultimately, I don't think the conversation is that valuable to have personally. I think it is a non-ideal set of circumstances regardless that people need to depend on the attention of a billionaire (And really, one particular billionaire, because there is only one Mr. Beast. No one else uses their money like he does) to fix awful circumstances in their lives.
the real question is did mr. breast beat the elden ring DLC
that's not his problem. how it impacts society or the culture isn't the point, it's that he has lots of money and makes youtube videos.
