Nonetheless, we can acknowledge the bad things which come from this brand of activism alongside the good. Shades of grey exist. A problem is very little people actually want to discuss possible negatives from perceived good actions. I started watching the #TeamTrees video and a point brought up that I hadn't even considered was about the trees being taken care of after planting. The same issue can be present here. Just because the wells were built, doesn't mean that the wells are actually getting taken care of afterwards. Which can result in the same situation occurring again. People are too focused on the short term feel good solutions to problems that require more systematic approaches. And the minute you try to look at whether or not the philanthropic solution is a good one, people get angry. Also the article talks about the Blindness Curing video which was another video that I got bad vibes from. It's nice to fix people's sight, but it's not like MrBeast was upfront about what kind of blindness could be cured or not and it was certainly misleading in it's own way. Which is a concern I have about the well video. What isn't being told to us about the wells? --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:977108294] in MrBeast ge...

After he randomly gave a house to a trick or treater, when he could have made sure it we t to a homeless person. I am getting the impression he is not actually a good person. He just likes looking like a good person is really far off the mark.

I'll also add that he is seemingly incapable of taking criticism and he fakes his content for views (as the article touched on, the "blind" people he "cured" weren't actually blind) and (EDIT): also I question what happens to the people after he's done using them as content farms I.E. the people he gifts cars/houses to who may not be able to afford taxes on it, or the communities he donated the wells to (upkeep of them is actually quite expensive and requires a lot of work that those communities may not be trained to deal with and the wells will actually often become useless - google it) But also the "poverty porn" as they refer to it as has only skyrocketed since Mr. Beast came on the scene and established it as a profitable path of content. I've been on YouTube for almost two decades and I haven't never seen "giving this homeless person x dollars..." videos before Mr. Beast. It's exploitative as hell, and it really frustrates me that people will talk about how terrible most rich people are because they gain their money through shady means / exploiting the poor in one breath, and then happily shill for Mr. Beast in another. I pointed out in a different topic that Mr. Beast is far from the first rich person to give money to the poor (common targets of ire like Trump, Elon, and Bezos have all donated millions / billions), but Mr. Beast is probably the only one I can think of who is open about his exploitation to gain wealth / power and is celebrated for it. Just bizarre. And before I get attacked: I'm not saying those three are good people or Mr. Beast is as BAD as they are. I'm using them as an example. I'm sure there are people of lesser wealth on a same level as Mr. Beast who are horrible and still donate money. Doing good things with money doesn't mean you're a good person, especially if you exploit poor people to generate wealth. --- "Well, maybe the Dirt Dragon should have thought about that before taking over the opera house." - Lord_Bob_Bree <cite>SuperSaiyanTien posted [p:977108700] in MrBeast ge...

Considering the goal of building the wells was for a video, his actions were publicity first and not results. But I know it's a crime to dare question a youtuber about their actions and that I should just trust that everything done by youtubers is done out of their kindness of their heart. Bro, you are being so fucking obnoxious and unjustly arrogant lol. "I don't simp for Youtubers", yeah you shit just on them for doing good things with their money instead of just hoarding it by spreading conspiracies about them based off your shallow emotions. Such a pinnacle of integrity. According to CNN up to 500k people will benefit from these wells and with an accompanying fundraiser for water treatment that raised over 300k by Monday. There's the proof that it's helping people, now it's on you to demonstrate that CNN is less-informed about this than random haters on the Internet who likely have never done any sort of charity or public service. itachi15243 posted... Like I personally don't like the guy, but he does good things. What he does should honestly be considered as the bare minimum for the rich. (Along with actually paying taxes obviously) but he's still doing good things with his money. Better than most at least This is my thing as well. Like in previous threads when people were pissy because "he could have built way more!", yeah, he also could have been like the vast majority of wealthy people who built 0 wells. People bitch about a lot of things, but seeing so many haters on something like this is legitimately concerning for their mental state and well-being. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:977109674] in MrBeast ge...
