[…] Mr Beasts popularity, generosity […]
Mr. Beast feels so unlikable to me, I really can’t understand his popularity. But that’s beside the point, sorry. Fuck instagram!

My understanding is he gives a lot of his money away to various causes so I suppose that’s why people like him.
But of course equally he is part of that annoying YouTuber trend of bouncing around the screen being very loud and thinking that that’s a substitute for personality.

It is an interesting business model. Good for the people he spends money on, but no one should have that much money to begin with. And I am sure he takes his cut.
But without having watched many videos of him (about 2), his appearance just screams devious weasel to me.

The two biggest charity events he’s had, Team Trees and Team Seas, he did literally nothing but pitch the idea. He was giving away Lamborghini’s during the period he was telling his viewers to donate, and it’s not like he did any of the work either, he just contracted with established environmental nonprofits. So why is he there again? Why didn’t he just tell people to donate to those nonprofits directly?

He had you donate to him instead of directly for the same reason businesses ask you to donate to X charity at the registers - tax breaks. I mean, I’m not an account but I imagine this is why he did it that way.
