So, you see how you're cooing over what he's doing? That's the point of this "philanthropy." Your attention, your engagement, your promotion, your money, your approval. He's using these people with one hand and helping them with the other. For Christ sakes, he has children advertising his chocolate bars. You think that was unprompted? Really?

[@HeppiStreams]

No of course I dont think that was unprompted. But im watching youtube, netflix, tv, movies anyway, why not watch entertainment where my literal eyeballs give to charity and projects like this. 100 families now have homes, rooves, water, greater saftey from weather events and there is absolutely no way you can spin that to make me think its a bad thing.

@@HeppiStreams See, this is always the justification. "He's doing a good thing." Yes, but not in a vacuum. Turning philanthropy into a fucking game show is as degrading as it is helpful, and it has inspired people not to help others, but to treat others as props in media careers dedicated to self-aggrandizement. Your comfort with being used and the fact that desperate people would not rationally turn down an offer to change their lives is not the sum total of the harm being done here. It is simplistic on such a basic level to say that people's misgivings about using charity to farm engagement is a statement that helping people is bad.

@@matthewcaldwell8100 i love your enthusiam but please direct it at every major corporation that has ever released a game show, every CEO who gets a 200% raise while their shop worker employees attend food banks and every person who's ever committed tax fraud. Leave the one person who acts like we wish every billionaire would, alone, and let people support a guy who actually puts boots on the ground rather than sitting in a mansion writing a cheque for 'optics' where half of it goes to charity bureaucracy and media campaigns, which - oh wait - picture the suffering of people for the sake of raising money

@@HeppiStreams You know people do that already, right? Do corporations or billionaires seem well loved to you? In fact, it's because we understand how people exploit suffering for reputational laundering that we understand what's going on here. I don't know about you - I can have problems with multiple things at once. I don't think the existence of more naked forms of exploitation justifies it here. And I am constantly stunned that his supporters have bought into a dynamic they would be able to identify as seedy in a second if it were someone they didn't already worship.
