If any Socialist had Mr. Beast's money, I guarantee that none of them would spend a single cent on actually helping poor peopleYou think Mr. Beast should buy a couple of mansions and munch on nuggies instead?
This just fuels the theory that socialists can never be happy. Give them what they want (rich people paying for other people's shit) and they're STILL complaining about it. That's when you realize it's all envy trying to disguise itself as charity.
"It's not enough for everybody to win - SOMEBODY has to lose."
its only the most soy filled impotent buck broken men that hate mister beast for being wildly charitableUsing the opinion of someone who has never risked his capital for anything other than the age of his prostitute to show how business owners aren't actually risking capital....
"Those who can, do, those who can't, teach" has never been truer.
A family member of mine has the same issue. Legally blind in one eye, other eye was getting blurry until he started seeing blood. He went to the hospital and immediately got eye treatment. However, he also needs a corneal transplant. But he's diabetic and a smoker, so he's not at the top of the list."Shut off access to a 10 minute procedure and paywalled it so some people simply cant get it"
Oh you mean exactly the same way public healthcare does?
I have Keratoconus in both my eyes, while early stages can be corrected with glasses my left eye is way past that point and my right is working its way there. I had to wait a year from the moment my optometrist spotted it to get my eyes scanned at a hospital, then 3 months after that for another check up, then another 3 months given my options of ignoring it or be fitted for contacts, then by this point both my eyes have progressed worse so the contacts I got did not correct my vision and I cant wear contacts anyway because it fucks my sinus too badly. so after a couple more checkups and different set of contacts they finally say my eyes are fucked to the point I can a cornea transplant on my left eye and they will consider it for my right if it gets more fucked up.
I had the choice to pay 5k on private to get it done or be put on a list of fuck it we'll get back to you whenever and get it done by public healthcare.
So now I am almost a year on a wait list for a transplant ontop of the other running around prior and the only reason its got considered is because my eye is so fucked that contacts wont really work out for it. If my eyes were "Just good enough" Id not be even considered for sugery, its just mine are so fucked I can get it for free.
I am in one of the Smaller states of Australia and cannot fucking imagine this form of healthcare working at all in America.
But simple 10 minute procedure btw.
So he spent $100k to receive ten times that amount. How is that profit making any better than the profit making the health insurance company does. That profit margin is far worse than an insurance company's.i don't care if Mr.Beast spends 100,000$ curing 1000 people's blindness and makes 1,000,000$ off the ad revenue of the video. you can argue that it's self serving, but at the end of the day that's still 1000 people who got life-changing surgery.
If he's just making money then he shouldn't walk around as if what he's doing is charity of any kind. When he paid for a thousand surgeries, he bought the rights to use those thousand stories to enhance his fame and fortune. Just because the video is labeled charity or includes a charitable gift, it's still just his profit and fame seeking 9-to-5 job.i think the argument over "true altruism" and "no such thing a selfless deed" is pointless. if you have power/resources and you use it to benefit those who don't, then it doesn't matter how much of a return you get on it, personally.
that's fine, but if your job is curing blindness I'm not going to whine if you're a bit of a douchebag or profit off it.Just because the video is labeled charity or includes a charitable gift, it's still just his profit and fame seeking 9-to-5 job.

My biggest problem with MrBeast is undeserved praise. He's like a rich man who shows up and handles one specific problem for a small number of specific individuals. Like anyone does, he's helped a small number of people, albeit a larger small number because of his resources. He hasn't fixed the economy or healthcare. He helped a thousand people; that's it. Its not heartwarming to me to hear that a YouTuber whose entire career is undeserved has helped a thousand people. He didn't help me and he can't help the majority. He's only able to act like a genie because the scale is so infinitesimally small. It's not heartwarming to hear about some YouTuber's latest fame whoring, because that's all it really is.
I'm not reading all that. Blow MrBeast in your own mind.you know what actually? fuck it. i read over your post in full this time, and I know it's a double post, but sue me. i wanted to address more shit you said. Your argument is essentially "he doesn't deserve praise be cause he isn't helping enough people, only a small amount" so fuckin' what? He's still helping people. I ain't saying he's the next coming of jesus but unless he gave them their eyesight back so he could fuck their kids in front of them, what he did was objectively good and it's a lot more than what other people with money do.
"He hasn't fixed the economy or healthcare"
mate, how the fuck do you want some random youtuber to fix country size issues? do you think america's healthcare is fucked because no good samaritan has decided to stand up and fix it yet? it's fucked because it's a major complex problem, and there's likely some people with far more resources than Mr. Beast who don't want it fixed for their own reasons. Like it actually baffles me that you thought "Mr. Beast hasn't fixed America's economy or healthcare single-handedly so I don't think he's done any actual good" like, you for real right now?
"he helped a thousand people; that's it."
that's more than most people help in their lives. I'm not going to sit here and act like Mr. Beast is the next Jesus, but he's doing something with his money to tangibly help people, and that's a lot fucking more than Hasan, or Bill Gates, or a lot of other rich people have done.

He spent money to make money. That's not charity, retard.
I stated my case. MrBeast spent money to increase his fame and fortune, just like he does for every single one of his videos. It isn't charity. That's my claim, that the profit and fame seeking negate anything that would otherwise be called charity.ah, i should've expected since we're in the Hasan thread. "I'm going to put my opinion out, but if I get ANY blowback I'm just going to ignore it and insult"
classic. I'm glad you believe in your statements so much, eh?

Fair enough.fair enough, last response then. I think you are hung up on your definition of "charity" to the degree that you are missing out on the fact he is actually helping people. i do not care if he spends 10,000$ helping 1000 people and gets 1,000,000$ in return. sure, that may not be "charity" but at the end of the day, people who weren't getting any help from anywhere else got help, and I think that's worth something. if you disagree, then that's that.
