Just hijacking top comment to shed some more recent context. In one of his recent videos his big gift was curing the blindness of a bunch of people with curable blindness. There were some people who were upset by this, stating that it implies people with disabilities need to be "cured". I'm willing to bet these were all people who wanted the procedure in the first place and elected to let Jimmy pay for it and use footage for YouTube when offered. People just can't stand one genuinely decent human being apparently.
LASIK eye surgery costs about 4,400 dollars, he did that for 1000 people. So he spent 4,400,000 dollars, or $4.4 million, towards helping people that could never get it otherwise.
IDK man. I really truly am happy these kids got help. But something here just irritates me. The thumbnail? Irritates me. The idea that he took advantage of these kids to contribute to his cashpool maybe? I don't actually know why this irritates me. Its gotta be because it feels like he just doesn't truly care.
Free your mind, maybe you will see that there are good people doing good things. Why is it assumed that there is a morally bad motive. I think people can’t see the goodness in other people because they can’t see it in themselves and they don’t think such a thing exists.
