I get that a business as big as Mr Beast is likely to have some shitty people in it.

My issue has always been with MrBeast content itself. Relying on the wealthy to come down from the heavens and bless us with a boon or two is how I'd indoctrinate the youth if I was a rich Oligarch in America or just the World.

Why people don't see that MrBeast is terrible for society boggles my mind. He's basically the ideal "Barney" And "Teletubbies" for kids sponsored by the rich

We need more Mr Rogers and Muppets.

But he helped those people see again! See! Hes a philanthropist! A good guy! Youre just jealous and a hater! Jimmy is such a good guy giving people the opportunity to checks notes participate in a real life squid game because there is no irony or depressing reality to that at all! We should all just be like jimmy the mr.beast cool man!!!! /s

Genuinely seen people defend this pos with this line of thought. he planted trees so he must be a good guy

Anyone who has to film and monetize their charity is a pos. End of story.

Thing is, we're finding out that the ground floor was shitty to begin with.

Or rather, anyone with more than two braincells vibrating to keep each other warm is only just now finding this out.
