[@zg3342]

Only libertarians think philanthropy will “save the world”, save even the poor of a single country from poverty, instead of long term governmental policies. That doesn’t make philanthropy bad though. As much as I dislike jimmy his philanthropic efforts weren’t a bad thing and did help many people. It’s just not a large scale solution to those over reaching problems (but it wasn’t meant to be since an individual can’t do that).

[@vtheory7531]

I agree with this, it's true Jimmy's philanthropy are only short-term solutions and it's just not sustainable to rely solely on philanthropy to make lasting change. That job lies with governments and public policy. Jimmy's work does have some benefits for the people they helped and imperfect methods are probably better than no help at all. The only thing I would object to is the fact that so much wealth is concentrated on a few people (whether they're your standard billionaire or philanthropists like Jimmy) and as Aperture mentioned the wealth can end up being distributed in a suboptimal way, prioritising sensational content rather than the most urgent if less glamorous ones. Sadly this is possible because of capitalism, and long term it will probably be better for the world if we put measures in place to ensure these vast wealth gaps can be decreased as much as possible, so everyone can achieve a universal good quality of life

I believe you help with all the work you do in your videos you show people the whole story and your point of view which causes your subscribers think what the best way be to help even if it is in a small way. thanks for all your videos. But I am still super impressed with Mr. Beast giving and helping it is a lot more than I ever done I only help out relatives that about it and try to keep it silence but sometimes it is not always possible.

I do not think jimmy is wrong in anyway, A lot of people want to help & make a difference but do not necessarily enjoy the grunt work, Taking philanthropy full time.

[@vtheory7531]

Exactly some of the commenters solely criticising Mr Beast maybe needs to also look at the other side, we as viewers tend to like watching sensational stuff like the big giveaways and Mr Beast uses the views to raise his funds. While it does feel exploitative to rely on the reactions of the beneficiaries to create the content, on the other hand it's what the people want to watch. If we want to protest this we need to tell Mr Beast's team that we don't want to see it anymore. Stop watching the videos until he changes his format.

If he is helping people though he is still being a good person. I find it strange for us to want to criticize people who are doing good things and changing lives. I know a guy who won a car from Mr.Beast and it really made him happy. This reminds me of how people love to criticize churches and religious organizations but the most generous organizations are usually churches. I have known many people who had their rent paid in hard times by a local church. Lets be careful to not lean into bashing people who are helping others.

[@DylanSmith-kc2gc]

One guy who won a Tesla from a Mr. Beast giveaway had to pay full tax on it at the MVD which ended up bankrupting the guy who then still owed back taxes on it. Jimmy didn’t care, when asked he said he wasn’t the guy’s accountant. Not the actions of a good person.

In summary, with additional of information from previous videos against him: Mr Beast charity is merely a PR move to make him the best and the top creator in KZbin or even the entirety of the Internet, no matter degenerate the methods and people he hires may be. Everything is manufactured (I mean, just look at Feastables and generally his videos + soulless thumbnails) just to speedrun to the goal. Why? Idfk. Money, Ego or filling narcissistic desires I guess. Have you heard of any charity orgs (outside of famous ones like Red Cross) explicitly does this of exposure bordering into "oh I'm doing good stuff so I'm a good person"? Not really.

Wonder how the people in Africa feel about the wells. These people might no longer need to walk miles to get water. Wonder how the people getting their vision restored feels. Is criticizing a philantrotainer for cliques any nobler than what Donaldson is doing? Will Aperture’s critique have any long lasting positive effects? Why is the onus on maintaining the wells on Donaldson? Is it pertinent to ponder the white savior trope if there’s an immediate need to quench thirst? People that got their vision restored might now be in a position to be of service to other people. Newly gifted house owners might likewise be in a better position to create long lasting positive effects for themselves and people in their community.

[@yunsauce]

Sometimes the way Mr. Beast hands out money (through challenges or just random spontaneity in large masses) feels unhuman tbh. I agree with the point that even if he is helping people, he also rids the agency of said people. Rather than focusing on the long term, Mr. Beast relies on a gimmick that is temporary, not to mention he’s already under fire for many of his less than glorious actions. Sure short term these people have gained something that will benefit them, but long term when they aren’t being constantly sustained and/or the root problem isn’t being properly addressed and ignored the people being helped wouldn’t be as benefited. Mr. Beasts content treats people like pitiful little things imo. Like sure, giving out $10,000 to a person under the poverty line might help that person specifically but it doesn’t address the worldwide problem of governments ignoring people who are in poverty.

[@vtheory7531]

I think another thing that might be an issue with the more ethical version of Mr Beast philanthropy is that you will need to provide some kind of evidence that you have done the charity work otherwise your donors might not be assured you have used their money the way it's supposed to. I feel like Mr Beast usually fulfils this requirement by filming the results (I understand this can be faked but I don't think it's the case with Mr Beast specifically).

Most people will scroll past this but anyhow! Found the video because of watching about the Darkside of Philanthropy, Watched the whole thing understood the point, now time to make a comment 😂 Alright let's start, Philanthropy is a huge deal for rich people, but helping others is a thing to do for everyday people and sadly that isn't seen often because of the notion of "People don't need to cameras to Help" anyways long story short what Jimmy is doing is good and it is Generally promoting the message of "Helping others is good" but the secret catch is you're watching it through social media which produces the problem of Helping others only when people can see you either physically or through camera... Now i know that wasn't the point of the video but hey got you thinking right? Now the point is the way Jimmy is doing things is really not sustainable nor thought through I mean sure some of his vids are good for people that needed help at that moment in time, but his big Philanthropic videos like the water well and cleaning the ocean and such is not very thought through and is really just there to make money and build his Image... But in saying that hopefully he stays focused on the helping the world part after his Image and wealth is 100% set... Because at the moment it's really just feeling like a cash grab 😂 And If he starts a foundation that will truly be the end of discussion.

Your whole argument is that just being associated with someone somehow makes you also guilty of the crimes the bad person committed as well.

I think it's a brave thing to even make a video about this subject. One might start to wonder: is helping someone better if it is witnessed by others or is it better when no-one else sees it? On the contrary: KZbinrs in this question could instead have done awful things with the financial resources that they have, yet they chose not too, and it can inspire others, so, does that make recording these philanthropic actions better or not? As interesting as I find this video I have no answer to either of these questions.

[@Leto85]

21:00 Perhaps I should wait with commenting until I've finished the video as around this 21 minute time both of my questions are answered with answers I could have known if I wasn't this tired. Ah well, confirmation can be great as well.

"Exploiting by giving others money." please can someone exploit me like this? thank you.

[@GristanGuinta]

The way he exploits people is not because he gives money to people. It’s because he gives money to People. People that don’t know how to manage money, save most of that money, make more of that money (because 1 million dollars is barely a house and two cars with some spending money left over and if you have kids, welp 😂😂 Giving starving kids a well is a good act. Giving starving kids a well. Plastering their sad faces on the screen, then showing them next to a well that probably won’t last a decade or maybe even 2 years. Also he teaches the people he gives to absolutely nothing about what they are getting. Yeah it feels good to give away 1 million dollars, but it also doesn’t feel good to the people who don’t know deductibles.

[@willikamulete798]

True philanthropy doesn’t exist, so does true altruism. In order to be true philanthropy Mr. Beast should not feel the need to receive any form of payment. He should show the world that every single earning from his videos goes back to the people. If he’s doing it to make money then it’s not philanthropy it’s just business. Selling hope is the worst business because it destroys lives

[@macumbeiro_xx]

Disliked this video and removed the bell, but didn't unsubscribe. I don't care much about MrBeast, I rarely watch his videos, but you created a straw man that MrBeast's philanthropy is meant to save the wold. His channel is about entertainment and that's how he gets the money to be able to help, if he is doing good why not capitalize on that also?, that would mean more money to do more help and also bring awareness of issues around the world. One of your criticisms is that his help is not sustainable, but I bet the people that were blind and can see again "forever" won't be complaining, and nothing is eternal, if he plant trees, remove trash and build wells, that's a push in the right direction, the people drinking water from those wells won't complain for a long time and it's easier to maintain the well by the community than build the whole thing from scratch, it's a push to get ahead and then the people can maintain it, and showing the philanthropy he does to the world would certainly motivate some people to do good on their own way, doesn't have to be "his" way. It's easy to criticize MrBeast sitting on a chair doing nothing for the community, there's a lot of people that jumped on that bandwagon and now you... but I bet MrBeast has done more good than all their critics combined even if won't last forever. Lately I'm not enjoying your content as much, something changed but I can't put my finger on it, so I will keep subscribed and see, but here's a video idea: "the rise of keyboard warriors", that applies to critics in comments (like myself), and in videos like this one, etc., I follow a channel that criticizes movies very harsh, and 90% of the time is well deserved, but are those critics creating better movies?, making a change?, no, because being a critic gives a sense of false superiority, and yes, I will apply it to myself.

[@piumirajapaksha7620]

Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking.

[@Mazuhisa]

Hey mate, I think you missed the point of the Video or o just got a different point... Anyways this will fall under the category of keyboard warriors but so be it. The point that I got was the way Mr Beast is doing philanthropy is not very good and not sustainable and he'll end up Ruining Philanthropy for everyone else... I mean the Rich people are already ruining it... But at least they think through what their help is going to provide as Actual help to solve root problems but you do get bad apples that just does philanthropy to cut taxes and build their own wealth hope Jimmy doesn't fall there... But You see a one time quick-fix never lasts and creates more problems down the road... Now i know Jimmy did have some videos about giving to those in need at that moment, but those vids like water wells and are very swift and weren't very thought through... Philanthropy is still business and not just something you can come in and change unless you're very powerful like Elon 😂 Anyways, have a great day!

[@sanskarsingh7039]

I hate this, I mean a man is atleast doing something, he is changing lives and why is it bad if he wants to earn while doing it as it only extends the time for how long he can help people. He is changing lives and the best part is other are joining him in helping people and somehow people just look for how to make something seem bad.

[@pederspongsveen5017]

@@DoMa94 I believe that taking action and giving back is far more meaningful than profiting from a video that criticizes someone for doing a good deed. Making assumptions about @sanskarsingh7038's age based on a single comment only reflects immaturity on your part. As for the issue of respect, I am confident that if those being filmed had requested not to be included, they would not appear in the video. Simply because that woulnt be entertaining. If you choose to focus solely on someone's flaws, you will inevitably find them. However, if you acknowledge that someone else is making a positive impact while you are not, that realization can be hard to accept. When someone builds a sustainable business model that consistently gives back, it’s a remarkable solution to many of the issues that politicians often neglect or fail to address.

1. Mr Beast is not perfect. But atleast he's helping people in need. 2. His formula works for him. Just because you don't like his style it doesn't mean he's wrong. We all don't know what's in his heart but atleast he's helping people. What have you do to make a real change? All I see from your videos are cash grabs that help no one but yourself.

Wow! No good deed goes unpunished! The narrator should go and talk to all the people MrBeast has helped and ask them what they think! The narrator will get ripped to shreds. MrBeast is only one person doing a tremendous amount of good. He's not responsible for "systematic change". That's for government agencies and non profits. Is MrBeast responsible for telling the African governments to maintain their wells? Or are the citizens in that country responsible? You're critical because he can't do everything!! No one person can!! No one person can save the world. Where are all the other supposedly responsible people???? When will they step in? Why are they not being called out?

1. It's just socialism at best, which never worked in long run, I'm talking about giving a homeless guy $10k, he'll use it for someday and develop spending habit or maybe do a little bit heroin and when money runs out, he'll be doomed. 2. Most of the viewers are just kids and teenagers, if he's just helping people in Africa and making a video about it, I don't think there's nothing wrong in that. Seeing a positive headline is nothing compared to seeing the reaction of people, about the 60% wells aren't working, it's African authorities fault, at least someone tried to do something and they couldn't even maintain it?

Mr Beast is intelligent in working the KZbin platform to his benefit but I feel like it's still too early to judge his philantrophy influence as it can still evolve into something that is ultimately the best we can hope for in compassion and charity.
