Thank god, there are millionaires who chose to pay the orphan-crushing machine to not crush some orphans today

What would Mr Beast say to the 1001st blind person? "Sorry mate, no more open slots for the blind! Go away and better luck next time!" It's the normalization of healthcare turned into a lottery under capitalism - just for our entertainment - that's so enraging.

The fact that a few people offered the mildest criticism of Mr. Beast and it turned into such massive discourse with so many people rushing to his defense at least proves the celebrity charity is working as intended.

Mr Beast has always made me feel uneasy. I think the first thing I ever saw of him was a honey ad, where he's saying "Go install Honey on your computer, on your mom and dad's computers, on your brother and sister's computers." Which is very obviously targeting the children who watch his content, who probably don't realize that honey is really a tool for tracking and harvesting your online activity. It's always struck me as abusing the trust of an impressionable audience.

i'm blind, and that video felt extremely exploitative to me. it also didn't contain much information about what blindness actually is. it helped a thousand people, but it won't help anyone else, the systems that oppress blind people remain unchanged and unchallenged.

Such cathartic anger, yes! I was homeless for a couple of years and MrBeast is no different from those Christmas samaritans. Once a year we would get buried under food, clothes, personal hygiene products, and whatnot, but for the rest of the year we were looked down on and treated like shit. That is if the nimby's even bothered to notice us. Those who suck capitalism's teat are never hindered by moral dissonance.

It's annoying yet ironic that the leftwing gets accused of virtue signaling for daring to highlight systemic social inequality, yet Mr. Beast has made an lucrative career out of signaling how virtuous his philanthropy is (philanthropy that - as you said - wouldn't need to happen if there wasn't social inequality in the first place) and he gets lavished with praise for it.

My problem with Mr. Beast has always been the performative aspect of everything. Not just the way he presents himself but the way he literally makes people perform for the money. Dance monkeys, dance.

People can be exploited without feeling exploited. Sometimes the realisation that you’ve been exploited comes much later.

It's amazing to me that he did a plug for Tesla rather than drawing attention to the fact that no one should be that dependent on a car...WE ALL NEED BUSES

In the Jewish tradition of charitable giving, the greatest Mitzvah is for the party giving to never meet the party receiving. That way the goodness of the act cannot be coopted for selfish ends. This case brings that to mind.

In all seriousness Mr. Beast needs to figure out how to turn lobbying the government with his money into entertainment and 50 million views, and start using this money for that.

I remember in 2016 when it was pretty well established that a youtuber doing a feeding the homeless video was exploitative and cringe, but now it's the biggest youtuber and their are a legion of 8 year olds who will come after you if you say something as simple as Mr Beast has a bad haircut. And now we have to praise Mr beast.

When I saw people try claiming that Mr. Beast's main motivation is to just help lots of people and give away as much money as possible, I looked over his earliest videos. I can't bring myself to watch them, but the thumbnails and titles provide plenty of insight. He was just a generic aspiring youtuber who made mindless clickbait videos. There was no video talking about charity until he jumped on the "I gave a homeless person $1000" bandwagon. He started getting high view counts on those and saw there was money in those types of "feel-good" videos. He's essentially just an exploitative small business owner doing performative charity and recording it for future monetization.

"MrBeast cured 1000 people's blindness" like he's a doctor or something. It's like ordering takeout and pretending you cooked

The randomly giving out money and cars thing feels so weird. It's like a rich noble riding through town tossing pouches of gold to a few lucky peasants - like it's obviously good for them, but ~the situation~ is just so dark, especially with the dystopian happy content production going on. Like if he really wanted to cure as much blindness as possible, how many surgeries could those "prizes" have paid for? Why's it supposed to be good that it went towards making a few big personal gestures instead, like a nice bonus after ~everything has been fixed~?

This reminds me of a short documentary I saw at a film festival about an ultra marathon runner raising money to help provide clean water for Ugandans. As I watched the doc I got more and more uncomfortable until I realized what was going on: this was a film about a mission trip, featuring not a single person who would use the water. And the subject of the doc was the lady raising money by running, so it had a boot straps narrative embedded in it. A different flavor of "inspirational story" that has a similar degree of horrific attitudes underneath it.
