Do you think he really cares about the world and that's why he makes so many videos or he gives away so much stuff? I don't think the guy like him would do that just for views and to make like a billion dollars. I know he's giving away like a billion dollars in his videos.
Do you think he does it for views? I don't think so. I think he's a genuinely nice guy and he makes videos where he gives away food and money and all kinds of stuff sometimes thousands of dollars of worth of stuff at a time sometimes millions of dollars worth of stuff at the time. Because he has such a big heart.
Why else?

Probably a little of both. It’s easier to be genuinely generous if you don’t have to worry about your own financial situation being in jeopardy.

What makes me question him is not cashing out when offered a literal billion dollars for his franchise. He would have still been involved I would assume, and he'd have a billion dollars. You can only give away so much money before it bottoms out and at least some of his viewer count must be fabricated. If he's as smart and genuine as he seems, the smart play would be to cash out. He'd still go down as as a major philanthopist. He'd have most of a billion dollars to give away and help run proper charities for the rest of his life, he'd even still be able to make money in other ways capitalizing off his name. Most people will never give away that kind of money, and his popularity has to run out eventually. Compare it to gambling. At a certain point you cash out, set limits. You want what you put in plus a percentage, the odds are against always being ahead and that means a heavy hand is exposed to big losses. The smart move would have been to cash out, not just for him but the people he wants to help. That's guaranteed help. Yet, he's out here making videos about staying on expensive yachts. I don't know dude if I could make a short list of people in the media who seem like they are only there because the government is pulling strings and playing games, Mr. Beast would be on it.

Would Mr. Beast be on Youtube if there was no money to be made? That is the question I ask myself before I click on to other channels.

I truly agree with everything said on here. In some ways it's hard to call a person that's giving away so much money a really cruel person. First I want to clear something up. For the record there's a reason why he turned down a billion dollars for his franchise. He said he would take nothing less than $10 or $20 billion. Which is actually accurate. He's a billionaire already. He's giving away about a billion dollars in money. Or at least like $500 million. The chance is that he might even have over a billion.
Well how much money can a YouTube creator make every month? Here's a video where he explains that he spends about $5 to $10 million a month. On his videos.
On the low side.
Sometimes much more. I mean literally if you really count all the money he's giving away it is ridiculous. I truly believe he is set up to be the next multi 12 digit billionaire.
As for how I feel about him? Mixed feelings. I mean literally I guess to be a total hater for someone that's given away so much money to people houses and cars and stacks of money and millions and millions and millions of dollars could the person be all cruel? He literally cured a thousand people of Blindness by paying for their surgery.
But man, doing things to help people in need simply to generate hundreds of millions of views per month to create as much content as possible and to get as rich as possible? Seems like kind of an asshole right?
This is literally nothing new. This is literally the basis of how Bill Gates generated even more money under the guise that he was a "generous philanthropist." He created a huge foundation and got away from paying lots and lots and lots of tax money.
You know the interesting thing about all these Charities and all these billionaires and all these charitable people and charitable foundations that really makes me think they're fake? They constantly question the government and how cruel the government is and how messed up it is for the government to take money as taxes and they decide to create these things that are "beneficial for people" instead of allowing the government to take taxes.
Now I'm not saying I agree with the government. Or that it's not cruel or fake. I'm not even going to start with that. But let me ask you something? With all the "tax" money that is supposedly wasted you do see some benefit from it right? I mean I'm not even going to start with it the government doesn't create poverty and waste things on useless spendful projects and take tons of money from people that they shouldn't. But with all that tax money you do see tons and tons and tons of Road schools businesses airports all sorts of things police firefighters etc etc etc. There is some outcome from all of this right?
Well here on the other end if you count up all these charities and all these billionaires if you really look up how many Charities are worth billions it appears as though there's like a trillion dollars worth of charities and charitable donations and charitable foundations and charitable giveaways and all this stuff in the world. So why are there still homeless people? I know if you actually do the math and you take into account the actual accumulation of people in the world and money you'd have to spend for each one of them to have an actual house there's no way a trillion dollars would cover all that. But wouldn't a trillion dollars worth of donations and Charities and all this stuff at least buy every homeless person some kind of sheltered park bench to sleep on and some kind of meal to eat everyday for the rest of time? Even if it was literally the least common denomination of what you would consider a comfortable well spent life?
But I am just saying.
I mean with all these generations and donations then homelessness and poverty should have been wiped out. I mean you count it all there is like a trillion dollars.
This is why I hate giving to charities. I donate every once in awhile but only to the ones that give me an exact photo or an exact picture of the exact person or animal that's being helped.
The fact is that on the surface charities are very beneficial. But they are only a continuation of the problem. They treat a symptom and not the cause. They just continue to add to the cycle of capitalism. They continue to feed the need to have a strong return.
Mr bees is no different than any other cock sucking YouTuber that got famous by doing really stupid crap. He made videos where he did repetitive things like repeat somebody's name 100,000 times or listen to a song for 48 hours straight. Or something like that. Really stupid crap that would generate views that people would just click on the video just to see the person do it.
When he went out and gave that homeless guy $10,000 and another homeless guy $50,000 what did those people do when they ran out of that money? They ended up back on the streets.
I mean is it entirely cruel to go out and just give some homeless guy thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars? No not at all. What kind of monster would I be to say that?
But what is the basis of a person that gives to others but gives way more to themselves than to others? Well it's every business ever. It's every restaurant or every construction company or every retail store or every manufacturing company or every engineering company or every Entertainment Company. They are all very kind in some ways to create these businesses and give millions of people products or at the very least thousands of people products and give millions of people jobs or thousands of people jobs are at the very least hundreds or a few dozen people jobs. And then pay people a relatively small amount of money and give to themself very high amount and raise the cost of everything with inflation and make it so a basic house they used to be $50,000 in the 70s or 80s is now like $300,000 and the ones that were like $200,000 or $300,000 are now like a million dollars. They take really kind acts where they do all kinds of stuff for all kinds of people where they create this beautiful Society of the 21st century where we live in this totally beautiful world and they turn it into greed.
Is Mr Beast really any different?
Well there you have it. It's really hard to really have a wrong answer or a really right answer. What he does is incredibly kind and what he does is incredibly cruel.
Kind of the basis of really any business if you think about it.

So literally like nobody thinks this guys they're here right? Aside from the sarcasm earlier it doesn't offend anybody that I think this guy gives away large amounts of money just to be full of shit right?
Some people have like a pissy trip about it like what a generous person this guy is and if they were more people like him the world would be a better place etc etc etc etc.
Like literally nobody thinks that if they can't be this guy or have a guy like this in the world it's like they're here then this is the world they don't want to live in or anything like that right?

Still though
As much of a fraud as he is
Not everyone would call a pizza delivery driver tell him he's going to pay him $2,000 to move him some furniture and then give him the keys to the house that he just delivered the pizza too.
I do believe that the ends don't necessarily justify the means. I mean Jimmy probably should do it to be a nice guy not just to have a camera on him and get a serious return of money.
But just saying not everyone would do all that. He's handed out a lot of money.

Self-sustaining philanthropist, who is providing financial opportunity to those without. He likes publicity, but the means justify the end

Of course he's in it for the money because it lets him do the stuff he does.
I think he's great, at least he's doing something with his money, and if he didn't have the videos he couldn't do it.
Curing 1000 people of blindness for shits n giggles? Fuck yeah! Make a million from the video? Sure, keep it up I say.
Put that hate on billionaires who mess others over by pushing policies to keep minimum wage or take away the push for universal healthcare or just generally mess shit up.
He doesn't personally have to be the nicest or bestest person because his actions speak loud enough. He's in it to win it but willing enough in the end to share some of it while creating entertainment and that's great.
How much have other wealthy YouTube's given away? Anyone angry about it should hound them first.
