People shit on Mr Beast for flaunting his riches with charity.Like I get it but there is a subtle difference.Obnoxious yters throwing dollars at homeless people and filming it is just spectacle and you can tell they don't actually care about the people they're giving money to.Versus Beast who has shown numerous times that he does actually give a shit. He's literally just your average good Samaritan who just happens to be good at making a shit ton of money by spending a shit ton of money.I don't know a whole lot about him but I have gathered that much.There's probably something fucky about him but that ain't it and I doubt it would outweigh all that good stuff.

@Paradox Helping a thousand people have a better quality of life is worth way more than some temporary glory on the internet. No matter what people might say, they probably wouldn't even do half of what he does if they had the same ressources.

@wasabi Plus I'd daresay it inspires people to make efforts of their own, even if they're small.Lots of people are receptive to emotional appeal. Knowing somebody needs help and seeing their joy when they receive it are two different things.

@Paradox Leahy's dictum: Thou shalt not footgun theyself.Do not criticize rich people for giving their money away. No matter the intention you (believe to) perceive. Rich people follow incentive gradients, they like not being criticized. So if you criticize them giving away their money they will stop.(differential levels of praise dependent on motivation are still good)

@Paradox That's true, even though most of Mr.Beast's audience is very young, he's still doing his part showing that the world could be a better place if generosity was more widely spread.

@niplav "How dare you not do this out of the goodness of your heart!"Another dictum: Beggars can't be choosers.

@Paradox the issue is that he probably wouldn't have helped these people if they refused to be filmed for his clout

@ExperimentV A valid concern. I honestly don't know what the reality is on that end. I don't know how many have refused to be filmed, I don't know how many people he helps off camera.
