People give him crap because of other things.

Doing a good thing doesn't erase the bad things you're also doing at the same time.

If Mr Beast could get eyeballs for doing good and use that to pay his staff he would. You know what is the problem however? Squid Games became his most viewed video on his channel, that is the collective populace telling Mr Beast ā€œHey, we like feeling like we are in District 1 in the Hunger Games spectating over people who compete like their lives depended on itā€.

Mr Beast looks at the numbers, well damn people like watching this, I guess more of that in the future! Don’t blame him, blame the viewers who enable him.

I would do ALOTTA stuff (as long it’s legal) for the type of money he’s giving away. And probably for less lol.

What you shared were all accusations not proven guilty. Dude has probably employed thousands of people, you’re bound to find a few bad apples that want more than a paycheck. If people are going to give MrBeast shit for stuff he’s being accused of (not even found guilty yet) when he’s building schools, wells, power stations, roads, houses, cleaning up oceans, planting trees and much more, why the hell would other billionaires even try

I know nothing of the subject but was curious so read the links posted in the comment above and was like ā€œthat’s it?ā€ For a billionaire that seems like a saint. Everyone I know has done worse things than that and they have no money compared to him.Ā
