X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad::undefined

    He frequently talks about it. Often his videos costs about as much as they make.

    He just likes doing the videos and helping people

      My point is its batshit insane we have half the population unable to afford a fly farting on their car while a noticeable portion is able to gift people life transformations. You can’t mitigate all failures on an individual level, people will lose and get hurt, but this is beyond individual responsibility. Its self-gratification and exuberant indulgence on a scale that would make Slaanesh cum. If any of these people truly wanted to help people and not just play Saint Lottery, they would use their power to lobby for better regulations and worker conditions. Since money is free speech you know.

        I know what you’re saying, I’m just confused why this anger is being directed at Mr. Beast of all people. I’m saying he’s doing more for people than most ever will. Maybe he should use his platform for political activism and lobbying, I don’t know. I mean, If he did how far could he go with that when what he’s doing is working well and he is able to help real people without redtape and bureaucracy. Yes he’s playing the capitalist system to help people, but it’s working and he is able to do it because he makes a good show of it. Would he be able to do the same if he dedicated himself to politics? I don’t know.
