It's almost like he makes videos to keep making the money that he gives to other people.

Bro what is going on lmao

Depends how much of it he keeps for himself. And how much he actually means to help people.

I don't know much about the guy, but he does strike me as a robot that lives and die by the YouTube algorithm (like most YouTubers, tbf).

With that said, lots of folks in here are trying waaay too hard to demonize him, lmao

I don't disagree, to be fair. He's obsessed with the Youtube algorithm. He always has been.

But, fuck it, I don't care. He does good things, and as long as he keeps doing good things, I support it.

All you have to do is use some logic. It doesn't ultimately matter how much he keeps for himself, because he spends a LOT to help people, which means that if he stopped making videos, he'd run out rather fast, regardless of how much he kept. The good thing -> video -> money -> good thing -> video -> money cycle is literally necessary for what he does. He has no other revenue. Videos fund everything he does.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Those people you named also donate money to causes that help people. Elon, for example, donated 55 million dollars to St Jude's in 2021. He did more in 2021 that's just the most notable. In 2022 he did over 5 billion I believe? But people are very critical of him and other billionaires because their donations don't come without a cost. They receive tax breaks and their wealth generation is exploitative. Mr. Beast is no different.

He makes videos that exploit people for his own financial gain. Whether or not he does charitable stuff is irrelevant in that conversation. If he were truly doing it for the good of the world, he would be doing it without broadcasting. "But how can he make money to do more good without broadcasting it!1211!!!" Well according to Mr. Beast himself in a Tweet, Feastables (his snack brand) is where he *currently* makes the money to do the videos he does. So no, he doesn't need to post the videos. Maybe he did in the beginning but he's definitely at a financial stage where he could just do good things and not exploit people.

But otherwise, at his level of wealth, he could make smart investments and still make money hand over fist and do these things. This isn't even getting into how thin-skinned he is. Jacksepticeye made a throwaway comment in a video about how Mr. Beast's type of content ruined YouTube and Mr. Beast felt the need to personally comment about how much good he does for people and ended it with "I'll just take the punches and be the bigger man. Sigh" That's a huge indication of the type of person he is beyond the persona, IMO.

I'll never understand the hero worship of Mr. Beast. People online always complain about rich people exploiting the poor but will act like he's any different, lol.

Why do you think Feastables sell, exactly?

Spoilers: It's because he's famous via making videos.

Second question: Why do you think he uses that Feastables money to make videos?

Spoilers again: Because the money he makes from videos goes toward doing good things.

But that would require *you* to use your head for more than two seconds. :)

You mean the ghost restaurant company that he allowed to use his name, that MrBeast, himself, is suing, due to the lack of quality?

MrBeast, literally, wants to END Beast Burger due to how bad it is. And he's suing to do so, since he's, currently, contractually obligated to allow it to exist. Despite knowing that doing so will LOSE him money.

Well, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos all infamously run companies that nakedly exploit their workforce and show that they are demonstrably terrible human beings towards the workers who make them their money.

You're mad cause Beast "ruined Youtube algorithm" or whatever, but unless he's exploiting a large workforce through inhumane capitalist practices I'm not aware of, there is a difference, yes.

No. I'm "mad" because Beast exploits people for monetary gain.

If we're going by scale, sure, Zuckerberg and Musk have him beat by far. But, to use an extreme example, someone can be a murderer without being a serial killer. Both are reprehensible.

I'm just demonstrating that "he does good things with his money!" is not the checkmate people believe it to be because so do a lot of rich people. Doesn't make them good people.

Literally nobody is making the argument "He's good people." We don't know him.

We're saying "he does good things with his money" is a hell of a lot more important than "lol he does youtube things," so we don't automatically hate him like you do. And, unless given a reason to, we don't hate him as long as he keeps doing good things with his money.

Because the video exists at all, is apparently the argument.

People expect him to do good things with his apparent infinite money source, without making videos, which are the... Entire basis for his revenue.

These people aren't exactly thinking things through. They just "YOUTUBE BAAAAAD. GWAAAAAR!"

I actually kind of dig the strat here.

Get really popular doing stupid meme shit, gathering a base that normally would spend zero energy on the greater good.

Slowly but smoothly transition your focus and base into philanthropy shit, redirecting that energy.

Hes basically harnessed the young mouth-gaped masses into a productive money battery.

No, he wears a worksuit, like the actual workers do. You only wear those vests in scenarios where you need to be visible in dark or night areas, such as if working on a road. Congratulations, you called him out for using a clickbait image that literally does not detract from the actual video.

Do you want a sticker?

It's one thing to not watch the videos. Nobody is saying you need to. You're clearly not his audience. I'm not, either, honestly. I don't watch his videos, even if I respect what he does.

But if you're literally hating on the guy and trying to diminish what he does simply because "He uses clickbait thumbnails, like every other Youtuber," then that's kinda weird.

"I don't watch his videos and think his thumbnails are dumb" = Cool, whatev.

"MrBeast is a bad person now let's praise our GOD ELON MUSK" = ...Uh

Clearly, I'm gonna call the latter out.
