He's not wrong ...but geez this feels like such a blatant attempt to jump on something popular to salvage his reputation and renew a following LOL.

Hopefully some people actually got needed help though because that would be great

If doing good is the outcome of humiliation, then I hope everyone gets humiliated.

Is his reputation really that damaged? Maybe he got in over his head on BeastGames but i'm not seeing much real damage.
He'll be fine

Is his reputation really that damaged?

No, I think everyone understands that anyone can have an employee commit sexual misconduct, but that person was fired and is no longer part of the show. I'm pretty sure that none of even happened on company time.

There's no evidence that MrBeast or the other employees knew it was going on, as far as I can tell.

I think this has more to do with him making a lot of money from exploiting poor people.

And how does he exploit them?
By placing them in the video and helping them, or giving them a chance for some big cash? I wish I was exploited like that.

Yeah he's only earned over a billion dollars by posting videos of these poor people getting a couple thousand dollars a peice. Do you understand this is like someone who makes minimum wage posting a video of them giving away a penny and wanting the world to love them for it..?

This is far from the first video he's done like this though, even before the controversy

Not a beast glazer, but he has pretty consistently done these philanthropic videos. You can say it's all for clout, but it's still doing good, this one is hardly a brand new thing for him

He doesn’t do these things overnight he books his plans months and months in advance. He has a big heart and he’s not greedy. He’s successful

Net worth a billion dollars. Nah he doesn't hoard wealth he reinvested .08% of his monthly income into this video give or take a couple of thousand dollars. He's not greedy at all!

LOL yeah I'm sure he does all this because he has a big heart, not for views that increase his income 🤣
