    Mr Beast is a joke. He exemplifies everything people don’t like about capitalism and people love him for it

    He’s extremely rich and is gracious enough to help people. Not enough people to lose him money. That would be ridiculous. Only enough to convince everybody else that he’s one of the good rich ones

      Yeah honestly it’s hard to hate a guy who puts water wells in impoverished nations but it’s also hard to like a guy who rents tanks and a gasoline covered burning log catapult to destroy a literal unironic pile of money.
