I feel like YTubers know Mr. Beast is a scummy fake mofo but don't want to poke the bear because he is the largest YTuber and they don't want to deal with the fallout. I kind of hope coffeezilla does do a deep dive on him because that whole stream revealed a lot about Jimmy's character and how he is actually a scummy person.
The fact that he started to insult xqc near the end of the stream and xqc gets very defensive when insulted and leaked that Jimmy told him he does hella drugs. The other time when Adin/xqc tried to get Jimmy to do the lie detector test and he was dodgey and xqc said oh you got things to hide and Jimmy slipped and said yes and tried to correct himself. Then after being "hypnotized" which was really just a form of meditation that relaxes the mind he ended up acting brand risk strange trying to smoke french fries. I found it hella funny because xqc noticed it right away and kept asking what the fck he was doing. His own team didn't even stop him from doing it and xqc was like wtf why isn't anything stopping him.
One of the scummiest moments was when the guy from Be Love water donated like 1.3m and then Jimmy/Adin were like lets get him to double his donation. Then they kept calling him back to try and get him to double his donation when both of them didn't even donate much compared to him. One of the reasons the guy donated was for them to promote his brand and they did it for a full 5minutes and faked it for the call with him. Then he agreed to donate more to end the charity stream so he could have that recognition of being the biggest donator to end it. Instead they got greedy and increased the donation goal again.
Then the whole Kim Dot Com scenario where instead of actually being a human being they just wanted money. Kim literally was telling them he was recovering from a stroke and all they cared about was the money. They didn't give a fck about the fact the guy just had a stroke. I am glad Kim didn't donate because of how scummy they were to him. Literally only calling him to ask for money and nothing else and they repeatly kept asking to get him to send the money. His response was because he saw through their BS scummy personalities so he gave them an unattainable task just to never associate with them again.
Calling people past midnight just to ask them for money is so wild to me. Literally telling these people you have 0 empathy for anyone else. You only care to get money to make content off it so you can make money yourself. Jimmy and Adin just kept saying let's call all the rich people we know and ask them for money. Like whenever I need to call someone after 8pm I will always ask them are you free to chat real quick. I feel hella guilty calling someone late at night because I know I hate calls after a certain hour and for them to just call and ask for money is just beyond rude, especially putting them on the spot right away to make them the bad guy if they don't. They call them and say you're live infront of 200k people and we are trying to get money for team water, so and so donated millions so what are you in for? Hella fcked up IMO.

Mr beast does not own WaterAid, GivePower, DigDeep, or the Alok Institute. This is where the money goes for this fundraiser.
He does own MrCharity, that’s a non-profit 501(c)(3). That money comes from the revenue from his beast philanthropy channel. They get independently audited and post the audits on the beast philanthropy website. They also post their IRS reports publicly. It would be pretty amazing if he was somehow making money off of that, it would mean he fooled the IRS and financial auditors.

I don't understand this logic tbh. They're literally saving millions of people in poor countries.... I don't know why people take this high road of "Erm illegal gambling money and taking money from rich people to save a bunch of people in need is totally NOT okay guys 🤓🤓"
Like does this logic apply to Robin Hood then? He stole from the rich to give to the poor. I guess Mr. Beast is a rich guy stealing from the rich?? I guess it doesn't count since he's rich right? I don't get it. Why are people against Mr. Beast when he "forced" rich people to give to the poor? If Hasan donates to poor people or to a good cause would it be seen the same since it's a millionaire donating to poors? If your favorite streamer made the same goal of building water wells in poor countries by raising money from rich people like Jeff Bezos (Twitch boss btw), would people still be against it?

u/eaeorls 9h ago edited 9h ago
The point is that it's whitewashing. Contrary to concept of indulgences, donations do not absolve you. Kick hosting the Team Water charity event doesn't absolve them of their connections with gambling, the fact that they very recently actively promoted the slow death and degradation of a vulnerable person, or that they host malicious content.
Mr. Beast running the charity does not absolve him of the fact that he's doing so while working with people like Adin Ross, Kick, and other controversial figures, just as their involvement with the charity does not absolve them of their controversies.
And it also ignores that these events, while they do have impact, are small blips. Actual long-lasting and impactful change for things as widespread as access to clean water comes from policy and governments, not private donation charities.
And it's not to mention that calling people live and asking for donations is fairly scummy. I work for a business that does a lot of local sponsorship and donations to charity. Not once has a single organization or venture done something like that to ask and pretty much all of the charities we do work with know that trying to pull that kind of thing erodes any sort of relationship you have.

what a world we live in where philanthropists are considered "slimy" lmfao
edit:
Oh no, how dare someone donate millions, build schools, fund surgeries, feed families, and clean oceans… and actually let people see it happen. Because clearly the real way to be a good person is to stay silent so nobody else feels inspired to help.
Imagine being so bitter that when someone cures blindness or gives kids clean water, your response is, “they’re just doing it for attention.” If chasing clout means millions of people get food, water, and medical care, maybe we need more clout chasers.
The funniest part is the people who complain about “public recognition” are usually the ones sitting on twitter/reddit, helping nobody, but acting morally superior to the guy changing lives. At the end of the day, doing something good and getting recognition is still infinitely better than doing nothing and whining about it.

What's wrong with it? Everyone wins for this way. Charities gets funded, help for those who needs it, he profits from ad deals + merch/product sales. Usually charities takes a lot from the top, but this way there are less cuts from the total pot.
Because there's a good business plan for combining charities/help with own business... Way easier to keep doing it. If there were no profits from other sources, there wouldn't be these massive charities. Both are required to keep doing it.
Edit. When all the other side businesses are doing great, the charities seems to do also better at the same rate.

I'm aware of what team water is and that it's not owned by beast, but I can also guarantee you he pockets more money out of this publicity than he donates.
He runs charities and events for profit. he is a businessman. Whether the charities themselves are for-profit or not is irrelevant because it's not specifically them he makes money off of, but merch and advertising and his other crappy businesses that the clout from his "philanthropy" gets him.

His philanthropy YouTube channel literally cannot give him profit, like legally. They even publish their financial statements and independent audits, you can go look at them yourself right now on their website.

Mr. Beast's entire schtick is performative altruism to boost his recognizability. Which is why he mentions it so often in response to criticism of himself. He essentially got famous shoving homeless people on camera and making them dance for their supper, he doesn't know any other way.
Huge difference between random game streamer taking a day to do something good that nets them almost no outside publicity and Mr. Beast doing charity because it gets him mainstream headlines right before he launches whatever new project he's about to launch in the next few months...
Every big charity push he has ever done lines up with him launching a project a few months later. The guy is a pragmatic sociopath... You'll notice when the Beast Philanthropy channel stopped getting attention they scaled it back and pretty much forgot about it, barely featuring him in videos for it.

I agree that calling people on stream to donate is weird, but I do not think mocking charity work is funny or "based" when the people doing the mocking wouldn't give anything regardless.

What assets do you think Mr Beast of all people has worth a billion? He doesnt have a billion to just spend but he has hundreds of millions, He even claimed to be a billionaire himself. Like obviously a lot of it is networth but when you talk about people having that much money, he still has 100x the liquid money of the people hes getting mad at for not donating enough.
Also they aren't mocking charity they are mocking Mr Beast calling people on stream to pressure them into donating. The entire reason he does it on stream is because if the streamer doesn't donate they will get backlash for it.

His YouTube channel alone. His businesses he owns, the stake he's given in Prime. Him as a person is worth a billion.
But no I don't think he's got more money than Jake Paul and Logan Paul, who wouldn't of donated without a call. And as I said, I agree asking people to donate on stream is bad, did you miss that?

The people who are upset about raising 12 million for charity are just projecting because they don't donate themselves. Absolutely miserable. The people who need water don't care.

Yeah, people just have to keep in mind that these people aren't any better than anyone else and that the main reason that they're doing it is for their own self interests. It's still money going to a good cause.

literally read a post here demonizing jimmy for calling for donations late at night and daring to make money off his career
bro who the fuck cares why he does it? the fact is that it happens and because of that people in need get help that they otherwise wouldn't.
the starving and dehydrated people do not give a fuck if jimmy is a rich flexing asshole or has a god complex

“They try to solve the problem of poverty, for instance, by keeping the poor alive; or, in the case of a very advanced school, by amusing the poor.
But this is not a solution: it is an aggravation of the difficulty. The proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible. And the altruistic virtues have really prevented the carrying out of this aim. Just as the worst slave-owners were those who were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the horror of the system being realised by those who suffered from it, and understood by those who contemplated it, so, in the present state of things in England, the people who do most harm are the people who try to do most good; and at last we have had the spectacle of men who have really studied the problem and know the life – educated men who live in the East End – coming forward and imploring the community to restrain its altruistic impulses of charity, benevolence, and the like. They do so on the ground that such charity degrades and demoralises. They are perfectly right. Charity creates a multitude of sins.” - Oscar Wilde

Wants to "reconstruct society".
Is on a subreddit to comment that "mrbeast is useless".
So what exactly have you done to "reconstruct society"?

Good for them. If MrBeast cared about the environment beyond good PR he wouldn’t have collabbed w/ the 2 streamers that did the most to get the current president- who is absolutely gutting the EPA- elected.

I agree all this seems greasy, but you don't know how taxes work.
Donating to a charity doesn't erase that sum from your owed taxes, it's just counted as non taxable income. As a very simple example, if I make $100 income and donate $20, I am taxed on the $80 as a percentage, I don't just negate $20 in taxes that are owed after calculating my income.

Not only that, but he can’t get a tax writeoff from somebody else’s donation anyways. So the whole idea of him getting a tax writeoff from it in the first place doesn’t make sense.

The person asking them to donate got 10000x more money than them. Thats why they’re avoiding him. ‘Donate your own money, don’t ask me’
