Is Mr Beast a good person? - eviltoast

I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust, because…it’s reddit. I have not watched much content (not my thing, I’m old) but I’m just curious what the fediverse has to say.

      By that thinking Bill Gates has done nothing but harm, yet he has done leaps and bounds for health research. They’re one of the few reasons malaria is even getting research money. He’s probably a narcissistic ass, and I’m sure he’s partially supporting the foundation for taxes/clout, but he’s actually saved the lives of people. If they want to spend their millions and billions on helping people for clout, then go for it. It’s better than whatever the fuck Musk is doing.

        Exactly, it’s like Jeff Bezos thinking the best he can do with his money is go to space.

        Regardless of the motivation, surely if that money is going to a better cause that will help others that’s a good thing
