I don’t think people are arguing that Mr Beast doesn’t do good for the world, as much as it is people arguing that the good doesn’t cancel the bad. If some generous gazillionaire decided to give every person on Earth $1000 a day for the rest of their lives, but also really loved clubbing seals, we’d probably question whether or not he’s still a good guy.
If doing bad is what’s necessary to fund doing good, we have to ask ourselves if the ends justify the means. Does improving the lives of impoverished people justify defrauding privileged children to fund it, as opposed to hosting a charity drive? I’d say it’s a question worth discussing.
I think we can appreciate a person without this borderlineish splitting someone but… the social media is borderline. Everything is polarised to maximum.
Even if you say something as innocent as you don’t like Star Wars sequels you will already be seen as racist most of the times on social media.
We have became a mentally ill society with no room for nuance, only extreme polarisation. There’s no cure.
Dude could keep every cent but he doesn’t
How many wells have you had dug for people without water, how many blind people have you paid to have their sight restored
You guys love shitting on people

yeah he generously gives away money and gifts… To his friends, family and employees (who knows if they actually get to keep it)
Meanwhile to the general public he gives gift certificates that require a purchase to use.
By their fruits shall you know them, right?
No one is purely good, or purely evil. On the balance, he seems to do good things within the world, likely doing more harm than good.
