Charity is cool, right?
What about an idea for a charity that is operated by every single human being alive?
Meet ishuman.me. As you can see from
What? That explains fucking nothing? Okay let's try again.
Meet the HumanFanClub, a subreddit I stumbled upon shortly after discovering ishuman.me myself. I'm mostly going to be paraphrasing it's wiki due to it's extensiveness and the fact that there's zero information about this charity or Max elsewhere.
Human, also known as Humanity or Aocao, is a project started by Max in approximately 2012. The goals of the project, company, charitable organization are subject to frequent change.
CEO Max Human explains the company thus:

Humanity is a global technology company like Google or Apple, with one VERY big and EXCITING difference: the owner is YOU!
Who is Max?
Max is a self-proclaimed Internet genius and philanthropist.

At 15 I started a gaming site called KGN, or Kickass Gaming Network, which you can still find on web.archive.org at kickassgaming.net.
I did the same thing I always do with business: convinced a bunch of people to join me (we had a team of
and then started contacting some really big names to get the kind of supercharged boost we needed to start.
Within weeks we were able to score awesome content, and months later were publishing global exclusives like the first ever screenshots of GTAII (a huge deal at the time - courtesy of the president of Rockstar) and awesome interviews like that with the co-founder of Bioware and many other big names.
Content was king: we started the news updates earlier in the day than all the other big sites, and focused on articles, game and hardware reviews, interviews and screenshots. It was awesome. Then the dotcom industry went bust and you can guess what happened next. Having had a taste of being my own boss, I could no longer stand high school (why would I need to learn to be an employee if I already knew I would never become one?) and dropped out.
I spent exactly a year and day making sandwiches in Mr. Sub, which to this day remains the only job I've ever had as an adult (as a kid I started delivering newspapers and flyers at 13, and worked as a mover in the summers).
At about 17 or 18 I ended up without a job (turned the music up a bit too loud at 3am - we were open til 4 in the club district - and the boss's son walked in) and so did my dad (he was a construction foreman and stood up for the workers when their boss, after not paying for months, announced that all their salaries were cut.. 3 months ago). Anyway, so that's how I became the president of a construction management company.
By 23 or 24 we had about 75 people in total - my strategy of always focusing on big goals paid off as usual. By 25 I realized that I was wasting my life - I was making money but not making a difference in the world, and felt unfulfilled as a result. So I decided to quit.
Following the advice in Tim Ferris' wonderful book 4 Hour Workweek, I then started my 3rd company, a construction management firm blended with a dotcom, and semi-retired off the passive income 6 months later. I spent the next half a year relaxing on tropical beaches and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
When I decided to quit construction 2 years prior to my semi-retirement I decided to be a film director, and after working on it for a year or two, quit at the last moment instead of making a feature film because I realized that I'd never be able to make ENOUGH of a difference as a film director to finally make myself happy and fulfilled. So I was almost 28 by the time I realized what I ACTUALLY wanted to do: build a sister company for Google. And now here we are 3 years later.

TL;DR He began with a gaming website called Kickass Gaming Network that was wildly successful until the dotcom bubble burst. He dropped out of high school and got a job at a sandwich shop. He then became the president of a construction management company, but after success in this arena, he no longer had anything to do with his life. He decided to become a movie director, but quit this too after realizing he wanted to "build a sister company for Google".
There is a ton of information provided about Max in this subreddit, including a lawsuit made by him, and this rabbit hole is certainly worth digging into for further speculation.
The most current update from Max is that the world is ending very soon and that the newest release date of Human (whatever the hell it is) is set for Feb. 1st
