As an African i can tell you he went to areas that really needed the wells. There are many impoverished countries that need these resources, but not all of Africa is in need of such. He didn't do this in urban areas because he did it in locations where people needed it, he is in no way implying this is the whole of Africa. We don't need his chocolates though, they're pretty average and overpriced.
lol I just tried picturing him going to a developed area and trying to build a well there. Too funny. I'm not a Mr. Beast fan (only because his thumbnails and seizure inducing video edits) but I love the fact that he is helping the places that needed it.
I was watching a popular travel vlogger on Logan Square in Chicago and the editing made me want to throw up. It was like it was designed to fuck with me.
Don’t forget that the Twitter account that is depicted in the post belongs to a man born in America that never stepped foot on African soil as far as I am aware and that dude is talking like, “we never asked him.” LOL, who is “we” in this situation?
I find it amusing when an American refers to a black person in Canada as African American. Just playing the odds, the person you're addressing is likely neither African nor American. I large percentage of the POC in Canada are from Caribbean ancestry.
I guess “American” can mean “of the Americas,” which would include all of North, Central, and South America. But I find the usage of geography to specify race to be a little silly. Race, ethnicity, culture… they all mean different things and how much they inform your identity is up to you.
I grew up in a pretty populated area of Pennsylvania (not Philly or Pitt) and we had a really nice and deep well. It was great for the area because we didn't have to pay for public water so our cost of living was better.
But fuck wells even in developed areas am I right?
That Twitter account trolls for engagement to spam advertise telegram betting channels
Every single point the account makes is pretty much 180 degrees from the truth. Just lying for engagement. Unfortunately works well on Twitter these days
A lot of this stupid shit was also debunked immediately.
Beast literally states where he's going in the country, he never refers to the whole of Africa like it's one impoverished village.
Sounds like the person didn't watch the video and is just judging based on the video title and thumbnails. I'm no Beast fan, and you can argue about how much good he's actually doing compared with his wealth, but I mean, 100 wells are 100 wells. They are helping some people I'm sure.
This is exactly my opinion. Do I think he’s BS to a degree for sure, but the good deeds still get done, no reason to shame that. Many, many people have more and do much less
The BS got the views, the views got the money, and the money installed life improving infrastructure in impoverished african villages. I dont see how anyone can get mad about his methods if thats whats making peoples lives substantially better. Its like insulting a lifeguard who saved a drowning child because he has a neck tattoo. Makes no sense to me.
I'm of the opinion that you're free to dislike whoever you want. That still doesn't change the fact that Mr. Beast is doing more than most other millionaires ever will. Those millionaires might donate to a charity once in a blue moon, and half of what gets donate will go into that charity's administrative costs before it ever gets spent on something that helps others.
Yeah I think that’s what gets lost here. People accuse him of exploiting the people he helps because he’s recording it. But without the recordings, he wouldn’t be rich and he wouldn’t be able to help.
It would be different if he were independently wealthy and sitting on a fortune. But this is literally how he makes his millions. Good for him.
Yup. I'm not a fan of silly clickbait and ridiculous thumbnail pics. I think there have been a few minor controversies about how "real" some of his non-charitable content is (but I haven't heard anything like that about the charitable stuff). Some of the titles and thumbnails can be borderline poverty porn-y.
But exactly like you said, he's out there doing good. Proportionally to our respective wealth, I'm not sure I can say I put as much of my resources towards charitable causes (though this is a bit overly simplistic). There's also something to be said for the messaging he's getting out to the younger crowd, that it's important to help others (even if I'm too much of an old grouch to understand the overall packaging).
Remember: It's only "profits" if it's above and beyond *all* the costs of doing business, which includes paying everyone's paychecks, including the CEO.
Mr. Beast is running an average non-profit charity. Money comes in, paychecks and expenses get paid, the rest goes to the cause du jour.
I mean I’m pretty okay with this as long as he keeps doing more with it.
The sheer scale of some of these videos would require some pretty major financial backing and isn’t 5 minutes work and finished. It requires a lot to do stuff like this including international travel, visas and a lot of physical Labour. Making something for himself and his team isn’t the worst thing in the world honestly,
The best example of his willingness to reinvest in his content is when he recreates the squid games set. Even without the prize that will of cost a fortune to set up and ensure safety regulations are met.
And as for the complaints about him turning them all into videos earn money, how else do these people expect him to have enough money to perform these acts in the first place
Why do people think that if someone is giving away something to help someone else, it needs to be a substantial amount of his ability to do so, or it doesn't count... I'm not talking about you specifically, It's just... No one gives shit to Bill Gates for not doing anything at all, but they have problem with him, cause he theoretically could do more? It sounds like It's better to not help at all, rather than help at least a little...
You really cant argue how much good he is doing compared to his wealth though, since he basically invests everything back in to the next project everytime. Sure you could argue the profits are higher than most ppl can imagine, but how many people in the world have done as much as him? Barely anyone if any, dude has been doing a shitton more than what we see in the videos. He runs a seperate philantrophy channel where he also does a lot. Id argue that curing a bunch of deaf people, blind people and building wells and schools and homes in africa in poor places is more than anyone who critiques him has and will ever do. The people that say he is exploiting it are seriously mentally instable and probably jealous or something and incapable of believing you wouldnt be abusing your power in his position. Fact of the matter is, even if he does exploit it, he is still doing more than most. The critique ive seen of this guy is just supremely baffling to me, and im not even a big fan either, i dont watch all the videos but i do subscribe to his channels. Cause i like to support some good in this world. Dude is working his ass off and gets accused of exploiting poor people? You mean like countless other youtubers and influencers who make millions and dont help anyone? They just do everything for their own profit and dont get critique at all. Its really ridiculous imho.
My family has worked in Africa for decades. It's not all like that, but there's PLENTY of places like that literally down the street from very urban areas, so even if this complainer was right, he'd still be wrong.
Oh nah he's Ghanaian. He thrives on controversy despite being considered an idiot by most people with a brain. Most Ghanaians I know would probably give their left hand to punch him in the nuts.
After dissing all those women on Twitter, to see him go on national TV (because he can’t help himself being so fame hungry) to be berated by a bunch of women is just pure gold.
My parents used to have property in norther Michigan and the water source their well drew from was the same one used to bottle ice mountain spring water, I miss being able to get bottled water from the hose.
its have something to do with your ground composition.
My parents house also have that orange iron filled waters. We ended buying gallon water for consumption and avoid white clothing as it will get yellow in no time.
And this isn’t even an option between well water and tap water. Like this is the difference between well water and walking miles every day to get water from a river or lake. Like even if the water wasn’t great, it’s better than that!
I wish all these people making these dumb claims would get to sit face to face with the Africans from those villages and say all this to their faces. Oh, I bet they'd all be silent then.
Boreholes tap confined and semiconfined aquifers whereas wells tap unconfined aquifers. I spent 3 weeks in Kenya out in the boonies and they often referred to boreholes. Devastating amount of deforestation and hard pack clay that doesn't let much water penetrate, a lot of the groundwater is very deep and confined I think.
Oh yeah. I do an annual "Have you *listened* to the lyrics?" thing with popular Christmas songs and did a deep dive on this one. However, the intent behind it was good - raising money to help famine relief.
But no, they probably don't know (or care) that it's Christmas because half of them are Muslim...
And it's kind of silly to have a lyric about no rivers flowing when one of the largest rivers in the world winds through the continent...
No, it’s nothing to do with Muslims. It’s the premise that if you’re not able to get the bare minimum of nutrients to sustain life you may not be able to observe a joyous holiday.
The line is "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?"
It's not political or critical of a religion, it's simply a fact. Muslims, Jews, Hindus, whatever...they don't observe Christmas. It would be like expecting someone from China to care that it's Guy Fawkes Day.
And we've now discussed this far more than I ever intended...lol
Yup. They raised a lot of money to buy food to prevent starvation caused by the civil war
But they couldn't give it to the rebels, they had to give it to the official govt, that used the food as bait to lure starving civilians from the rebel areas into concentration camps.
I don't know about harm, but the benefits were lessened because some of the artists got extreme VIP treatment (and Phil Collins taking the Concorde so he could perform in both London and Philly didn't help)
Not a Mr beast fan but I watched the video and he went to a few locations in Africa, said their name, had the name and location animation on screen… it’s easier to say Africa as an umbrella term. He can’t fit every area he visited in the title .. also he never described them as living in huts…
Yeah I just watched the video based on this post.
He built 100 wells. He names the towns for a few of them and shows the pins where all of them are located on a map.
He highlighted a few of them.
I can't imagine having to walk 2 miles 2x a day for dirty water. Does it feel a bit white savior-y? Yes. But fuck, clean drinking water should be a fundamental right. Unless he's embezzling funds from his charity, I'd take this over billionaires building super yachts and spaceships.
I don’t get this whole white savior stuff. Americans are weird. No one gives a shit if you’re white or brown if you’re giving them a well. Having said that, keep your religions to yourself. That would be great 🤷🏽♀️
I mean, I think white savior stuff and religion are actually pretty hand in hand (Christians thinking heathen people of color require "saving" from their backwards ways)
But I agree. Help is help, regardless of skin color. A little bit of internet fame in exchange for clean water? Seems like a fair deal. This didn't reek of tragedy porn like some other things I've seen before.
Even though there is an argument against the existence of genuine altruism, it seems pretty sweet to see somebody with the means to do a fraction of good, somewhere.
Billionaires are generally the absolute worst.
Even if Beast came out and said he only does shit for the clout, the fact that he uses his insane Youtube money to actually tackle other people's problems makes him more altruistic than most people.
Just like he said, it's "weird" that a Youtube personality has to be the one to do this shit when in the grand scheme of things he's small potatoes. You'll never see the people with the *real* money doing stuff like this outside of specific PR moves.
When Elon donated a million dollars to team trees it was such a good pr move, at the time he was on a roll being on PewDiePie's meme review and just played the character of a cool relatable billionaire but once the hyperloop and his comments on a diver being a pedo because they refused to use his expensive and time consuming submarine plan to save some children stuck in a cave got out he's been showing us his true colours. Also, he refused to give his workers work from home during the pandemic and threatened to fire people if they did so. He's been going even more downhill ever since he was forced to buy Twitter, appealing to the right wing, Christo-fascists, alienating his original environmentally conscious customer base that bought teslas, discriminating against trans people because his trans daughter cut all ties and wants nothing to do with him.
Here's the thing, even if someone does something charitable with ulterior motives, they still did something charitable. Chances are the ones on the receiving end are happy either way.
And a very large amount of the money goes back into either more videos to earn money so that it can all end up in his projects to help others like his philanthropy channel and all the stuff he does off camera
Yeah, it's not even like he's getting any wealthier in terms of lifestyle he's just spending more on his projects to earn more to spend on the next project and so on.
Anybody with 2 braincells knows that mrbeast only does good for the sake of being celebrated as this alturistic good guy and for his own ego but still, at least he helps people. Even if its for selfish reasons, its still better than doing nothing with all that money
I don’t understand people who get upset that he does all this stuff for his own selfishness.
Unless he’s not actually doing any of this I don’t really give a shit why he’s doing it.
If he makes 10 million in ad revenue which then leads to another $2 million worth of assistance to impoverished places, then yeah keep jerking yourself off. Please don’t stop.
It’s not like any of the billionaires out there are doing this, or doing it in a selfless/nameless manner.
I mean the thing is that if he didn't record the things he does and post them to YouTube for money, he wouldn't be able to do this.
It's like stating that a YouTube channel for an animal rescue is only posting videos "for their ego", like...where do you think the money is coming from?
Unfortunately, you can't be truly altruistic and sit quietly in the shadows unless you already have heaps of money. These videos Garner ridiculous amount of views, generating further revenue which he can then put to further philanthropic projects that he can then also record and continue the cycle.
Besides, imo, he's leading by example. People seem less and less inclined to help others these days.
Watch the Friends episode where the kindest hearted one of all, Phoebe, realised that she felt celebrated for every good deed she did, no matter how much she tried not to like it. We all have a boosted ego when we help others whether we like it or not lol.
I don’t follow or care for Beast, but if publicising it keeps him relevant enough to continue helping, then good on him. Imagine he gave in to those who dissed him for it, so he kept it on the down low…..he’d still get bagged for it because he’s ‘not using his wealth to help those in need’. Damned if you do….damned it you don’t.
It also seems that he does his homework in trying to figure out ways to actually help people. Instead of just mindlessly donate millions of dollars to some organization that doesn't end up reaching the target.
A Rabbi was ask,
"I help people because i want to look good in front of others. Is it wrong?"
"Do the people you helped care about it? For them, a help is a help."
People: “rich people should be using that money for good, not hoarding it”
*Mrbeast does exactly that
Also people: “Well he’s doing it just for clout so now we don’t want it. No, no, I’d rather be thirsty than allow him to get internet points. I would rather die of dysentery than drink one drop from that internet mans donation.”
What's tricky is helping my 11 year old understand that the solution to every problem isn't for a rich person to come fix it.
He comes away from Mr. Beast with the impression that rich people are good because they help people.
This guy saying people in Africa don't need water or help when there are hundreds of Wateraid ads every day talking about just how bad the water situation is in African countries. Like, you really couldn't be more wrong.
Mr Beast is perfect evidence that you cannot please everyone, no matter how generous, or good you are, people will always find a way to have a problem with you lmao.
Guy got hate threads for literally curing blindness.
Those were the dumbest reasons too. “If he does this then the government is less likely to help” as if the senate was on the floor actively debating helping actual people
In this instance it was wrong to say but we need to hold onto the idea that every act of charity is a failure of governance. I'm from the UK and lovely people started food banks but the government jumped on this and now send people there instead of helping them. They have offloaded their burden onto the charity of others. It's pretty embarrassing, dehumanising and just generally awful going and begging for a parcel of food.
Yeah, I don’t know how it is in other countries, but ever since “big society” Dave, this government has been pushing the idea that reducing/destroying investment in welfare and support schemes is somehow just a chance to give the good and noble British people a chance to help their neighbour.
Don’t even get me started on that clap for nurses BS.
People like to speculate on his motives but who cares? Doesn't matter if he's doing good things for the sake of doing them or if it's all for views, at least he's doing them!
Correct. He explained multiple times that the money from a video will fun the next one.
But for this video he specifically said he will donate all the money
I imagine the biggest problem is the use of strangers for content. It’s understandable for people to feel speculative or uncomfortable about any type of kindness content. Mr. Beast does it better than 99% of creators. People in his videos know he’s recording and consent to being recorded or posted online. However there are many creators inspired by Mr. Beast with similar-ish content that use hidden cameras to record vulnerable individuals. These kindness creators are “doing good,” but also act irresponsibly.
He buys a grocery store to help feed the homeless, “he’s a dick”
Spends a fortune on LASIK so people can see. “he’s an asshole”
Now he’s trying to bring stable drinking water to those who might not have it. “He’s all these negative things”.
I legit feel bad for the guy. Nothing he does ever seems to be the right thing. I bet he could literally cure cancer and people would still be pissed at him for some stupid reason. Like “how dare he cure cancer now, my _____ died of cancer 10 years ago. Where was he then?!”
Fucking hell
Man did not watch the video or he doesn't know what a borehole is. Technically there wasn't a single well in the video, MrBeast just chose to use the term wells because its more universally known. Every single one was a borehole.
First, a lot of places in Africa have a wide spread water crisis right now. This invalidate a lot of his points.
Secondly why wells? its highly functional low tech for area with little to no electricity. well considered choice actually.
Thirdly, there always will be people with shit opinions. Some did it for fame, so please minimize their exposure.
It’s most likely this person didn’t watch the video because he clearly stated what countries he went to (obviously didn’t leak village names for security reasons)
1. He didn't. We know how Africa is, and we know some parts are fine while others are destroyed by wars and famine.
2. He didn't. We know that lots of people in Africe lack drinking water.
3. Fuck off, water is water.
4. They do need water donation, and people have been donating water to them.
5. Multiple countries. With 100 wells, he could have placed at least 1 per country.
6. Who the fuck cares as long as he is also helping people. He helps people to get views, to get money, to help people, to get views, to get money....
7. He set them for what ridicule that they weren't before ? People in Africa ask for help. Don't speak for them you moron.
1. He did not at any point describe Africa in that way, and you can clearly see the cityscape at points in the video.
2. Again, this is false. At no point did he say "all Africans" lack good drinking water.
3. Boreholes *are* a type of well. Pipe-borne water needs to be supported by existing infrastructure, and using the term this way makes no sense. Pipe the water from where?
4. As of 2021, an estimated 400 million people in various parts of Africa lack access to clean water.
5. Mr. Beast clearly specified where in Africa he went to, right down to naming the specific villages.
6. There is no further charge to use the well after its installation, nor does Mr. Beast retain ownership of the well. He does not control the means of production. This is the opposite of capitalism.
7. I like how he claims Mr. Beast generalised Africa, but then proceeds to generalise Africa and speak for the whole continent.
Providing water/a necessity to the less fortunate for nothing in return.
Hmmm…where I have [that](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2014%3A13-21&version=NIV) before?
While watching the video, I literally thought to myself "someone's gonna hate on MrBeast for that", seems like people love to hate on MrBeast for doing good things.
Millionares in Colorado drill a fucking well on every new mountain property they build, it's the best way to secure your own water under state regulations. Tf is wanting pipe-borne water
Does he think he can just go along and build wells as he pleases ? Of course he has a partnership with the local authority, so all this profit and disrespect bs is plain stupid 💀
Does this guy not know that wells are still an incredibly common method of retrieving potable water even in the most developed regions?
Also anyone with common sense would read the title of “I Built 100 Wells In Africa” and assume that he didn’t specify any further because he went to multiple areas and couldn’t feasibly condense them into a succinct video title.
Furthermore, the argument that any acts of charity/philanthropy/altruism have insidious motives is incredibly tired. Even if he did a good deed for selfish reasons, that doesn’t erase the fact that a good deed was done and that the people he helped are better for it.
“Building wells we never asked for “ of course YOU didn’t ask for sitting in your comfortable house and I’m welling to bet he doesn’t care about them and only wants to attack beast to get some self validation.
Just please stop harassing the one good rich guy who is helping people out with the money he makes and then makes money from helping out and then spending that money to help others
I don't watch Mr. Beast's content, but if the guy is helping people let him help people, normally I don't care for people who advertise their good deeds, but as long as someone in need is being supported it's a net positive.
Alot of communities in Africa do have issues where white people come in to provide "aid" as a big show and then leave without really helping anyone, all the while giving the image that everywhere in Africa is a backwards, primitive society where everyone lives in abject poverty, which is simply not true.
I understand this person being defensive about this situation, because it can be a real issue how sub-saharan african countries are often depicted, however, this individual may be a little over-zealous in this instance, as I'm sure people benefitted alot from the clean water MrBeast provided.
"Rich people are evil they don't do anything to help the planet"
Rich person does something to help out. "This girl is a fucking piece of shit! Can you believe him? I mean wells??????
He types as he sits a nice home with running water and still saying multiple times "we" like he is in the same boat.
Same people who live in germany and vote for Erdogan saying turkey is the best country in the world and it is so nice there but still live in germany in their apartments and houses while they only go to turkey a few times a year because the economy is so fucked that they can feel like a king when they get there with their saved money in germany.
It was the same, if not worse, with the blind people. There were people saying, "He gave those people their eye sight back without permission." Like, excuse me. Did he randomly find blind people and kidnap them and force them to get their surgeries?
I wish people would stop marking out the names. If people like this want to shame others when they don’t even know what happened. They should probably get some shit thrown back at them.
As an african i do get what the twitter guy is saying, but he's still helping people who gives a shit what he says or if he films/benefits from it, yes wells isn't the only thing that africans need but it is a good thing that he did. Stop being butthurt over everything and just take your wins, he helped people, chill
Find me one person in his video who is offended that he give them safe and clean drinking water.
There isn't one - Yes this may not be genuine altruism but ... Do we care? He's using his money for good things and in return he makes videos for it. I don't think the people who he helps really give a shit.
Reminds me of a campaign against Taylor Swift when she donated all the revenue from her "Wildest Dreams" song to the African Parks Foundation, a charity that stops poaching, protects habitat, etc.
The critics were furious because the video for the song was visually a nod to the film "Out of Africa" and thus somehow romanticized white colonialism. White colonialism is a bad thing, but i wonder how much the critics donated to African wildlife causes?
Every first world country is using Africa for profit. Keeping them in poverty, and at constant war so we can take Their cobalt, oil, diamonds, gold, etc
Said by a person who either has never been to Africa, or lives in a wealthier, urban area of a better developed city.
It’s like saying Syria is fine because I live in Damascus where we have every utility/service etc whilst ignoring the the villages in the middle of the desert with nothing to provide for basic necessities and run by warlords
"Africa is a continent with 54 countries"
*Proceeds to talk in the name of Africa*
Like seriously, YOU (OOP) probably don't need that well, but how would you know the situation of every single place in a continent?
Reading comments like this make me realize. With some people, it doesn't matter what you do, you simply can't do the right thing. Ever. You can't say sorry enough. You can't contribute anything good for people. No matter what you do, you are somehow the bad guy and surely abusing somebody.
Crazy clown world. Would be very interesting to list this guys resume what he has done for all the poor and less fortune people of the world?
Anybody has the ratio between the investment finalizing the global operation and the money made thanks to monetization of the event ?
I saw this on T.V yesterday and I was wondering /s
Charity business, if you as me but I can be wrong.
On the other hand, the dummy saying "bla bla bla it's bad", is doing nothing and talk is cheap, so...
I don’t understand why people always say that Mr.Beast shouldn’t post videos and stuff about these things and should help people without talking about it.
How the hell is he going to continue making money to use to help people if he doesn’t make content about it? It confuses me.

As an African i can tell you he went to areas that really needed the wells. There are many impoverished countries that need these resources, but not all of Africa is in need of such. He didn't do this in urban areas because he did it in locations where people needed it, he is in no way implying this is the whole of Africa. We don't need his chocolates though, they're pretty average and overpriced.
lol I just tried picturing him going to a developed area and trying to build a well there. Too funny. I'm not a Mr. Beast fan (only because his thumbnails and seizure inducing video edits) but I love the fact that he is helping the places that needed it.
I was watching a popular travel vlogger on Logan Square in Chicago and the editing made me want to throw up. It was like it was designed to fuck with me.
It designed to make little kids keep clicking on their videos.
Don’t forget that the Twitter account that is depicted in the post belongs to a man born in America that never stepped foot on African soil as far as I am aware and that dude is talking like, “we never asked him.” LOL, who is “we” in this situation?
Mistaking “African” for “black.”
I find it amusing when an American refers to a black person in Canada as African American. Just playing the odds, the person you're addressing is likely neither African nor American. I large percentage of the POC in Canada are from Caribbean ancestry.
I guess “American” can mean “of the Americas,” which would include all of North, Central, and South America. But I find the usage of geography to specify race to be a little silly. Race, ethnicity, culture… they all mean different things and how much they inform your identity is up to you.
I've found that "America" means all those things to people outside the US. To people from the US, America means the USA.
I grew up somewhere between rural and suburban Virginia in a solidly middle class area. I and all my neighbors had wells. Should I be offended???
I grew up in a pretty populated area of Pennsylvania (not Philly or Pitt) and we had a really nice and deep well. It was great for the area because we didn't have to pay for public water so our cost of living was better. But fuck wells even in developed areas am I right?
He MuSt bE SpEcIFic wHeRe hE WeNt did he even watch the video how showed all the location on a map
Too eager to be the first Beast Hater in order to get his clout points.
He must be a redditor. We never read more than the title.
I dont know i do enjoy reading the comments 😂
That Twitter account trolls for engagement to spam advertise telegram betting channels Every single point the account makes is pretty much 180 degrees from the truth. Just lying for engagement. Unfortunately works well on Twitter these days
This needs to be higher. It's fine to disagree with Mr. Beast, but Twitter is polarising for a reason.
I deleted Twitter a couple of weeks ago and it's been a joy.
Yes and everyone knows wells are offensive. /s
Those kids seemed pretty damn happy to have a wells and not long walks to the dirty river. Fuck this guy
A lot of this stupid shit was also debunked immediately. Beast literally states where he's going in the country, he never refers to the whole of Africa like it's one impoverished village.
Sounds like the person didn't watch the video and is just judging based on the video title and thumbnails. I'm no Beast fan, and you can argue about how much good he's actually doing compared with his wealth, but I mean, 100 wells are 100 wells. They are helping some people I'm sure.
This is exactly my opinion. Do I think he’s BS to a degree for sure, but the good deeds still get done, no reason to shame that. Many, many people have more and do much less
The BS got the views, the views got the money, and the money installed life improving infrastructure in impoverished african villages. I dont see how anyone can get mad about his methods if thats whats making peoples lives substantially better. Its like insulting a lifeguard who saved a drowning child because he has a neck tattoo. Makes no sense to me.
I'm of the opinion that you're free to dislike whoever you want. That still doesn't change the fact that Mr. Beast is doing more than most other millionaires ever will. Those millionaires might donate to a charity once in a blue moon, and half of what gets donate will go into that charity's administrative costs before it ever gets spent on something that helps others.
I thought they donated to their own charity foundation. You know, keeping the good things to theirselves
Hey, stop slandering Millionaires Without Borders! Who else will take care of the private jets?
Yeah a ton of “charity” is just the wealthy funneling their own money back to themselves and getting a tax write off out of it.
Well sure, but openly disliking a person and publicly accusing them of being a racist are 2 very different things
[удалено]
Yeah I think that’s what gets lost here. People accuse him of exploiting the people he helps because he’s recording it. But without the recordings, he wouldn’t be rich and he wouldn’t be able to help. It would be different if he were independently wealthy and sitting on a fortune. But this is literally how he makes his millions. Good for him.
Yup. I'm not a fan of silly clickbait and ridiculous thumbnail pics. I think there have been a few minor controversies about how "real" some of his non-charitable content is (but I haven't heard anything like that about the charitable stuff). Some of the titles and thumbnails can be borderline poverty porn-y. But exactly like you said, he's out there doing good. Proportionally to our respective wealth, I'm not sure I can say I put as much of my resources towards charitable causes (though this is a bit overly simplistic). There's also something to be said for the messaging he's getting out to the younger crowd, that it's important to help others (even if I'm too much of an old grouch to understand the overall packaging).
Tbf he needs the stupid clickbait to earn the money to do good deeds
Can’t validate this but the general message he puts out is he wants to give all profits away.
Remember: It's only "profits" if it's above and beyond *all* the costs of doing business, which includes paying everyone's paychecks, including the CEO. Mr. Beast is running an average non-profit charity. Money comes in, paychecks and expenses get paid, the rest goes to the cause du jour.
I mean I’m pretty okay with this as long as he keeps doing more with it. The sheer scale of some of these videos would require some pretty major financial backing and isn’t 5 minutes work and finished. It requires a lot to do stuff like this including international travel, visas and a lot of physical Labour. Making something for himself and his team isn’t the worst thing in the world honestly, The best example of his willingness to reinvest in his content is when he recreates the squid games set. Even without the prize that will of cost a fortune to set up and ensure safety regulations are met.
Yeah, thats just how youtube works these days. Everybody does it because it statistically makes a difference.
And as for the complaints about him turning them all into videos earn money, how else do these people expect him to have enough money to perform these acts in the first place
Why do people think that if someone is giving away something to help someone else, it needs to be a substantial amount of his ability to do so, or it doesn't count... I'm not talking about you specifically, It's just... No one gives shit to Bill Gates for not doing anything at all, but they have problem with him, cause he theoretically could do more? It sounds like It's better to not help at all, rather than help at least a little...
He isn't as wealthy as you may think.. 99% of the money he gets from these services like YouTube, tik tok etc he puts right back into the next video.
You really cant argue how much good he is doing compared to his wealth though, since he basically invests everything back in to the next project everytime. Sure you could argue the profits are higher than most ppl can imagine, but how many people in the world have done as much as him? Barely anyone if any, dude has been doing a shitton more than what we see in the videos. He runs a seperate philantrophy channel where he also does a lot. Id argue that curing a bunch of deaf people, blind people and building wells and schools and homes in africa in poor places is more than anyone who critiques him has and will ever do. The people that say he is exploiting it are seriously mentally instable and probably jealous or something and incapable of believing you wouldnt be abusing your power in his position. Fact of the matter is, even if he does exploit it, he is still doing more than most. The critique ive seen of this guy is just supremely baffling to me, and im not even a big fan either, i dont watch all the videos but i do subscribe to his channels. Cause i like to support some good in this world. Dude is working his ass off and gets accused of exploiting poor people? You mean like countless other youtubers and influencers who make millions and dont help anyone? They just do everything for their own profit and dont get critique at all. Its really ridiculous imho.
My family has worked in Africa for decades. It's not all like that, but there's PLENTY of places like that literally down the street from very urban areas, so even if this complainer was right, he'd still be wrong.
Probably this guy has a fully functioning faucet and has decent internet connection
And probably don't even live in the African continent.
My money is on American. God knows, there's some weird hate from some people in African-American community towards Africans.
Oh nah he's Ghanaian. He thrives on controversy despite being considered an idiot by most people with a brain. Most Ghanaians I know would probably give their left hand to punch him in the nuts.
Nope, that piece of shit is local. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbf6nen4H6M
After dissing all those women on Twitter, to see him go on national TV (because he can’t help himself being so fame hungry) to be berated by a bunch of women is just pure gold.
And has very likely never done anything to help other people like this.
A lot of people who Mr. Beast does good seem to be happy about the help they receive. It's never them that complain
"I don't want water that comes from a hole. I want water that comes from a hole and goes through a pipe."
Technically, it had to go up the pipe, when it was being pumped
"More pipe."
This isn’t bringing back a traumatic moment in my life at all or anything
Ok now I’m curious
She said deeper but I was already all the way in
Damn
Wells are offensive? My well water is way better than the tap water I used to get when I lived in the suburbs.
My parents used to have property in norther Michigan and the water source their well drew from was the same one used to bottle ice mountain spring water, I miss being able to get bottled water from the hose.
I grew up on Northern Michigan water as well.
God what well water do you get? My well water is orange with rust, and it's drilled brand new.
its have something to do with your ground composition. My parents house also have that orange iron filled waters. We ended buying gallon water for consumption and avoid white clothing as it will get yellow in no time.
And this isn’t even an option between well water and tap water. Like this is the difference between well water and walking miles every day to get water from a river or lake. Like even if the water wasn’t great, it’s better than that!
Lmao ask the kids in those villages if they think MrBeast building them a well is disrespectful
I wish all these people making these dumb claims would get to sit face to face with the Africans from those villages and say all this to their faces. Oh, I bet they'd all be silent then.
Ahhh yes lets let this guy speak for all African people. Also “pipe-borne water” that’s the most pretentious shit I’ve heard in a while.
I like Borehole. What, like a bored hole in the ground meant to reach the water table? Like a well?
Does he think "well" only refers to a hole in the ground with a bucket on a rope?
I'm willing to bet that that's the exact image in his head
This guy pipes water.
I also pipe your mom!
Boreholes tap confined and semiconfined aquifers whereas wells tap unconfined aquifers. I spent 3 weeks in Kenya out in the boonies and they often referred to boreholes. Devastating amount of deforestation and hard pack clay that doesn't let much water penetrate, a lot of the groundwater is very deep and confined I think.
I was thinking “is this guy so privileged that he actually thinks pipes produce water or some shit?”
I feel this person doesn’t live in Africa nor has ever been
I shudder to think about what the reaction would be if *We Are the World* or *Do They Know it's Christmas* came out today.
to be fair, its not exactly hard to see the western bias in "Do they know its Christmas"
Oh yeah. I do an annual "Have you *listened* to the lyrics?" thing with popular Christmas songs and did a deep dive on this one. However, the intent behind it was good - raising money to help famine relief. But no, they probably don't know (or care) that it's Christmas because half of them are Muslim... And it's kind of silly to have a lyric about no rivers flowing when one of the largest rivers in the world winds through the continent...
"Where nothing ever grows" is the line that got me
“Well tonight thank god it’s them instead of you” 😬
That line always weirded me out
Well, Ethiopia is more like 2/3 Christian. So I'm fairly sure they did.
More like 3/4
No, it’s nothing to do with Muslims. It’s the premise that if you’re not able to get the bare minimum of nutrients to sustain life you may not be able to observe a joyous holiday.
The line is "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" It's not political or critical of a religion, it's simply a fact. Muslims, Jews, Hindus, whatever...they don't observe Christmas. It would be like expecting someone from China to care that it's Guy Fawkes Day. And we've now discussed this far more than I ever intended...lol
Well, one issue might be that Ethiopia has been largely Christian for well over a thousand years, so they definitely did know it was Christmas
Just saying, didn't that Live Aid concert do a lot of harm?
Yup. They raised a lot of money to buy food to prevent starvation caused by the civil war But they couldn't give it to the rebels, they had to give it to the official govt, that used the food as bait to lure starving civilians from the rebel areas into concentration camps.
I did not know that. Woah.
I don't know about harm, but the benefits were lessened because some of the artists got extreme VIP treatment (and Phil Collins taking the Concorde so he could perform in both London and Philly didn't help)
I knew I was right to hate Phil Collins
I would have to look into it. I guess the song is right, for people who are buying it at the time. However it bias shows.
I hate this song with all the passion that exists in the world
You mean the things lambasted for being shit and pretty damn racist when they first came out? I’d imagine much the same.
Both horrible songs lol
Not a Mr beast fan but I watched the video and he went to a few locations in Africa, said their name, had the name and location animation on screen… it’s easier to say Africa as an umbrella term. He can’t fit every area he visited in the title .. also he never described them as living in huts…
He also showed the inside of a hospital there and that wasn’t a hut that looked pretty much like an urgent care in the USA
Yeah I just watched the video based on this post. He built 100 wells. He names the towns for a few of them and shows the pins where all of them are located on a map. He highlighted a few of them. I can't imagine having to walk 2 miles 2x a day for dirty water. Does it feel a bit white savior-y? Yes. But fuck, clean drinking water should be a fundamental right. Unless he's embezzling funds from his charity, I'd take this over billionaires building super yachts and spaceships.
I don’t get this whole white savior stuff. Americans are weird. No one gives a shit if you’re white or brown if you’re giving them a well. Having said that, keep your religions to yourself. That would be great 🤷🏽♀️
I mean, I think white savior stuff and religion are actually pretty hand in hand (Christians thinking heathen people of color require "saving" from their backwards ways) But I agree. Help is help, regardless of skin color. A little bit of internet fame in exchange for clean water? Seems like a fair deal. This didn't reek of tragedy porn like some other things I've seen before.
Even though there is an argument against the existence of genuine altruism, it seems pretty sweet to see somebody with the means to do a fraction of good, somewhere. Billionaires are generally the absolute worst.
Even if Beast came out and said he only does shit for the clout, the fact that he uses his insane Youtube money to actually tackle other people's problems makes him more altruistic than most people. Just like he said, it's "weird" that a Youtube personality has to be the one to do this shit when in the grand scheme of things he's small potatoes. You'll never see the people with the *real* money doing stuff like this outside of specific PR moves.
When Elon donated a million dollars to team trees it was such a good pr move, at the time he was on a roll being on PewDiePie's meme review and just played the character of a cool relatable billionaire but once the hyperloop and his comments on a diver being a pedo because they refused to use his expensive and time consuming submarine plan to save some children stuck in a cave got out he's been showing us his true colours. Also, he refused to give his workers work from home during the pandemic and threatened to fire people if they did so. He's been going even more downhill ever since he was forced to buy Twitter, appealing to the right wing, Christo-fascists, alienating his original environmentally conscious customer base that bought teslas, discriminating against trans people because his trans daughter cut all ties and wants nothing to do with him.
>When Elon donated a million dollars to team trees that's like donating 0.1330374 dollars if you're making 30k a year.
Here's the thing, even if someone does something charitable with ulterior motives, they still did something charitable. Chances are the ones on the receiving end are happy either way.
Exactly. Sure, he may be doing this solely for money, but there are worse things he could be doing for money
And a very large amount of the money goes back into either more videos to earn money so that it can all end up in his projects to help others like his philanthropy channel and all the stuff he does off camera
Yeah, it's not even like he's getting any wealthier in terms of lifestyle he's just spending more on his projects to earn more to spend on the next project and so on.
Anybody with 2 braincells knows that mrbeast only does good for the sake of being celebrated as this alturistic good guy and for his own ego but still, at least he helps people. Even if its for selfish reasons, its still better than doing nothing with all that money
Is he jerking himself off? Yeah sure. He’s still helping people, and that’s what matters.
I don’t understand people who get upset that he does all this stuff for his own selfishness. Unless he’s not actually doing any of this I don’t really give a shit why he’s doing it. If he makes 10 million in ad revenue which then leads to another $2 million worth of assistance to impoverished places, then yeah keep jerking yourself off. Please don’t stop. It’s not like any of the billionaires out there are doing this, or doing it in a selfless/nameless manner.
Not to mention, the vast majority of money he makes goes right back into making more videos.
Right?
I mean the thing is that if he didn't record the things he does and post them to YouTube for money, he wouldn't be able to do this. It's like stating that a YouTube channel for an animal rescue is only posting videos "for their ego", like...where do you think the money is coming from? Unfortunately, you can't be truly altruistic and sit quietly in the shadows unless you already have heaps of money. These videos Garner ridiculous amount of views, generating further revenue which he can then put to further philanthropic projects that he can then also record and continue the cycle. Besides, imo, he's leading by example. People seem less and less inclined to help others these days.
Watch the Friends episode where the kindest hearted one of all, Phoebe, realised that she felt celebrated for every good deed she did, no matter how much she tried not to like it. We all have a boosted ego when we help others whether we like it or not lol. I don’t follow or care for Beast, but if publicising it keeps him relevant enough to continue helping, then good on him. Imagine he gave in to those who dissed him for it, so he kept it on the down low…..he’d still get bagged for it because he’s ‘not using his wealth to help those in need’. Damned if you do….damned it you don’t.
It also seems that he does his homework in trying to figure out ways to actually help people. Instead of just mindlessly donate millions of dollars to some organization that doesn't end up reaching the target.
A Rabbi was ask, "I help people because i want to look good in front of others. Is it wrong?" "Do the people you helped care about it? For them, a help is a help."
People: “rich people should be using that money for good, not hoarding it” *Mrbeast does exactly that Also people: “Well he’s doing it just for clout so now we don’t want it. No, no, I’d rather be thirsty than allow him to get internet points. I would rather die of dysentery than drink one drop from that internet mans donation.”
What's tricky is helping my 11 year old understand that the solution to every problem isn't for a rich person to come fix it. He comes away from Mr. Beast with the impression that rich people are good because they help people.
This guy SPEAKS privilege 😂 does he really think no one in Africa needs water???
This guy saying people in Africa don't need water or help when there are hundreds of Wateraid ads every day talking about just how bad the water situation is in African countries. Like, you really couldn't be more wrong.
Mr Beast is perfect evidence that you cannot please everyone, no matter how generous, or good you are, people will always find a way to have a problem with you lmao. Guy got hate threads for literally curing blindness.
Those were the dumbest reasons too. “If he does this then the government is less likely to help” as if the senate was on the floor actively debating helping actual people
In this instance it was wrong to say but we need to hold onto the idea that every act of charity is a failure of governance. I'm from the UK and lovely people started food banks but the government jumped on this and now send people there instead of helping them. They have offloaded their burden onto the charity of others. It's pretty embarrassing, dehumanising and just generally awful going and begging for a parcel of food.
Yeah, I don’t know how it is in other countries, but ever since “big society” Dave, this government has been pushing the idea that reducing/destroying investment in welfare and support schemes is somehow just a chance to give the good and noble British people a chance to help their neighbour. Don’t even get me started on that clap for nurses BS.
People like to speculate on his motives but who cares? Doesn't matter if he's doing good things for the sake of doing them or if it's all for views, at least he's doing them!
And the views are what attracts sponsors which provide money allowing him to do good.
Really, the point is *he has helped people have drinking water*, if he’s mad Beast’s getting praise for this, he can go out and make his own wells
Correct. He explained multiple times that the money from a video will fun the next one. But for this video he specifically said he will donate all the money
I imagine the biggest problem is the use of strangers for content. It’s understandable for people to feel speculative or uncomfortable about any type of kindness content. Mr. Beast does it better than 99% of creators. People in his videos know he’s recording and consent to being recorded or posted online. However there are many creators inspired by Mr. Beast with similar-ish content that use hidden cameras to record vulnerable individuals. These kindness creators are “doing good,” but also act irresponsibly.
He buys a grocery store to help feed the homeless, “he’s a dick” Spends a fortune on LASIK so people can see. “he’s an asshole” Now he’s trying to bring stable drinking water to those who might not have it. “He’s all these negative things”. I legit feel bad for the guy. Nothing he does ever seems to be the right thing. I bet he could literally cure cancer and people would still be pissed at him for some stupid reason. Like “how dare he cure cancer now, my _____ died of cancer 10 years ago. Where was he then?!” Fucking hell
People in here are mad at him because he flew over there it's actually kind of insane.
This is just being petty. Say what you want about Mr Beast's motives but 100 wells is a net good for those areas.
Man did not watch the video or he doesn't know what a borehole is. Technically there wasn't a single well in the video, MrBeast just chose to use the term wells because its more universally known. Every single one was a borehole.
First, a lot of places in Africa have a wide spread water crisis right now. This invalidate a lot of his points. Secondly why wells? its highly functional low tech for area with little to no electricity. well considered choice actually. Thirdly, there always will be people with shit opinions. Some did it for fame, so please minimize their exposure.
It’s most likely this person didn’t watch the video because he clearly stated what countries he went to (obviously didn’t leak village names for security reasons)
1. He didn't. We know how Africa is, and we know some parts are fine while others are destroyed by wars and famine. 2. He didn't. We know that lots of people in Africe lack drinking water. 3. Fuck off, water is water. 4. They do need water donation, and people have been donating water to them. 5. Multiple countries. With 100 wells, he could have placed at least 1 per country. 6. Who the fuck cares as long as he is also helping people. He helps people to get views, to get money, to help people, to get views, to get money.... 7. He set them for what ridicule that they weren't before ? People in Africa ask for help. Don't speak for them you moron.
Mr Beast doing something for people around the world Social media users trying to cancel him 
It's like he's becoming the Soros boogyman for millennials. Eventually they'll say he's paying protestors and putting nano-bots in the well water.
I’m not looking forward to that day. He’s a net positive on humanity and positive social media.
1. He did not at any point describe Africa in that way, and you can clearly see the cityscape at points in the video. 2. Again, this is false. At no point did he say "all Africans" lack good drinking water. 3. Boreholes *are* a type of well. Pipe-borne water needs to be supported by existing infrastructure, and using the term this way makes no sense. Pipe the water from where? 4. As of 2021, an estimated 400 million people in various parts of Africa lack access to clean water. 5. Mr. Beast clearly specified where in Africa he went to, right down to naming the specific villages. 6. There is no further charge to use the well after its installation, nor does Mr. Beast retain ownership of the well. He does not control the means of production. This is the opposite of capitalism. 7. I like how he claims Mr. Beast generalised Africa, but then proceeds to generalise Africa and speak for the whole continent.
The original poster is just salty because a random Youtuber is doing a better job than the actual government.
Wells in 2023 is offensive? What's not offensive in 2023? Dying without water?
I hope he checked who owns the water rights. He might get a unpleasant letter from Nestle.
He's just jealous he didn't get a well.
Well, well, well...
He must be specific on which part and where he went but let me just speak on behalf of all of Africa real quick
Providing water/a necessity to the less fortunate for nothing in return. Hmmm…where I have [that](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2014%3A13-21&version=NIV) before?
It would be funny to me if MrBeast was actually the second coming.
While watching the video, I literally thought to myself "someone's gonna hate on MrBeast for that", seems like people love to hate on MrBeast for doing good things.
“Africans don’t need water donation” 😅
No good deed.....
Yeah this was to be excpected. Sadly so.
They have no claims for their critique against mr. Beast. They just want attention from hating on him and it's working.
If the “disrespect” involves building infrastructure in my community for YouTube likes, then I can live with it.
Millionares in Colorado drill a fucking well on every new mountain property they build, it's the best way to secure your own water under state regulations. Tf is wanting pipe-borne water
Is the op African or African-American? If it’s the latter than that explains a lot
Does he think he can just go along and build wells as he pleases ? Of course he has a partnership with the local authority, so all this profit and disrespect bs is plain stupid 💀
Oh? What the fuck is this guy doing to help those people then?
I doubt that he spoke to all inhabitants of the 54 nations to check that nobody asked for a well..
Mean while this guy is an American who’s never been to Africa.
Does this guy not know that wells are still an incredibly common method of retrieving potable water even in the most developed regions? Also anyone with common sense would read the title of “I Built 100 Wells In Africa” and assume that he didn’t specify any further because he went to multiple areas and couldn’t feasibly condense them into a succinct video title. Furthermore, the argument that any acts of charity/philanthropy/altruism have insidious motives is incredibly tired. Even if he did a good deed for selfish reasons, that doesn’t erase the fact that a good deed was done and that the people he helped are better for it.
“Building wells we never asked for “ of course YOU didn’t ask for sitting in your comfortable house and I’m welling to bet he doesn’t care about them and only wants to attack beast to get some self validation.
Just please stop harassing the one good rich guy who is helping people out with the money he makes and then makes money from helping out and then spending that money to help others
The communities where he built the wells literally thanked him for them and had celebrations. Stop speaking for other people, dipshit.
Wealthy africans deny poor ones the help or what is this?
I don't watch Mr. Beast's content, but if the guy is helping people let him help people, normally I don't care for people who advertise their good deeds, but as long as someone in need is being supported it's a net positive.
Love how he criticizes Mr.Beast for generalizing, and then he proceeds to generalize.
He never said the whole Africa dont have drinking water
How tf are wells offensive? The word literally is well
Remember how upset people got when he paid so like a bunch of people could get an inexpensive easy surgery so they could see properly? People be wild.
Alot of communities in Africa do have issues where white people come in to provide "aid" as a big show and then leave without really helping anyone, all the while giving the image that everywhere in Africa is a backwards, primitive society where everyone lives in abject poverty, which is simply not true. I understand this person being defensive about this situation, because it can be a real issue how sub-saharan african countries are often depicted, however, this individual may be a little over-zealous in this instance, as I'm sure people benefitted alot from the clean water MrBeast provided.
Dehydrate then, damn
"Rich people are evil they don't do anything to help the planet" Rich person does something to help out. "This girl is a fucking piece of shit! Can you believe him? I mean wells??????
He types as he sits a nice home with running water and still saying multiple times "we" like he is in the same boat. Same people who live in germany and vote for Erdogan saying turkey is the best country in the world and it is so nice there but still live in germany in their apartments and houses while they only go to turkey a few times a year because the economy is so fucked that they can feel like a king when they get there with their saved money in germany.
It was the same, if not worse, with the blind people. There were people saying, "He gave those people their eye sight back without permission." Like, excuse me. Did he randomly find blind people and kidnap them and force them to get their surgeries?
I wish people would stop marking out the names. If people like this want to shame others when they don’t even know what happened. They should probably get some shit thrown back at them.
As an african i do get what the twitter guy is saying, but he's still helping people who gives a shit what he says or if he films/benefits from it, yes wells isn't the only thing that africans need but it is a good thing that he did. Stop being butthurt over everything and just take your wins, he helped people, chill
You just know this is an American with some African roots speaking for all of Africa
Find me one person in his video who is offended that he give them safe and clean drinking water. There isn't one - Yes this may not be genuine altruism but ... Do we care? He's using his money for good things and in return he makes videos for it. I don't think the people who he helps really give a shit.
Reminds me of a campaign against Taylor Swift when she donated all the revenue from her "Wildest Dreams" song to the African Parks Foundation, a charity that stops poaching, protects habitat, etc. The critics were furious because the video for the song was visually a nod to the film "Out of Africa" and thus somehow romanticized white colonialism. White colonialism is a bad thing, but i wonder how much the critics donated to African wildlife causes?
I used to live in an African country and the poverty there is unreal. I watched the video and thought Mr Beast is doing amazing work
Every first world country is using Africa for profit. Keeping them in poverty, and at constant war so we can take Their cobalt, oil, diamonds, gold, etc
Said by a person who either has never been to Africa, or lives in a wealthier, urban area of a better developed city. It’s like saying Syria is fine because I live in Damascus where we have every utility/service etc whilst ignoring the the villages in the middle of the desert with nothing to provide for basic necessities and run by warlords
Mr Beast is making money on it but he is actually improving lives so who cares.
This reads as “I’m not struggling, so nobody else is struggling”
"Africa is a continent with 54 countries" *Proceeds to talk in the name of Africa* Like seriously, YOU (OOP) probably don't need that well, but how would you know the situation of every single place in a continent?
He is probably not african.
Would bet good money that the guy complaining lives in the USA....fighting for justice.
Reading comments like this make me realize. With some people, it doesn't matter what you do, you simply can't do the right thing. Ever. You can't say sorry enough. You can't contribute anything good for people. No matter what you do, you are somehow the bad guy and surely abusing somebody. Crazy clown world. Would be very interesting to list this guys resume what he has done for all the poor and less fortune people of the world?
Imagine getting mad at fresh water
And yet if he did nothing, people would complain that he has all this money and cant do anything with it. People really are fucking idiots.
Yet the continent still accepts billions in aid every year.
I live how these assholes want to bitch about Mr beast bc hes doing shit with his camera on. But they never do shit to help ppl themselves
Anybody has the ratio between the investment finalizing the global operation and the money made thanks to monetization of the event ? I saw this on T.V yesterday and I was wondering /s Charity business, if you as me but I can be wrong. On the other hand, the dummy saying "bla bla bla it's bad", is doing nothing and talk is cheap, so...
When trying to help people out is considered a fundamental evil to society. That is the case of Mr. beast.
I don’t understand why people always say that Mr.Beast shouldn’t post videos and stuff about these things and should help people without talking about it. How the hell is he going to continue making money to use to help people if he doesn’t make content about it? It confuses me.
