I never understand why people love Mr Beast content. I never enjoyed it.

    Basically a for profit philanthropist. He does dumb content that brings in the dough and then uses that for big bombastic charity projects.

    A lot of people like to hate on him because “rich kids shouldn’t be the ones helping others out of poverty!” but like, as long as that’s the way the world is I don’t see any issues with it since he does actually go pretty above and beyond with his acts of good will, legit building homes for the poor, wells for communities with low safe water access, paying for sight restoration surgeries for the poor, I think one of his vids was traveling about and providing community solar networks to impoverished communities, which as someone who works in that field, he’s doing a double service there since even if they end up having to pay for it themselves, it’ll be a net savings vs traditional utility costs.
