it really charity if you do it for clicks, likes, and shares in an effort to make ad revenue?
Yes, but I know the definition of simple words like charity so maybe that's your disconnect.

I don't understand her point.
yeah. he gets all the attention because he has a huge platform! no shite!
he would get a lot more attention if he did anything. he isn't getting the attention because of his actions, he is getting the attention because he generates clicks.

So her whole objective is to get clean drinking water to poor Africans, correct?
A noble cause. Now that this has been archived she should be grateful that he has helped half a million African get this needed water.
Instead she is upset that someone else is getting all the attention?
So was her goal REALLY to help or was it just to be RECOGNIZED for helping?
seems like you nailed it.
although I can sorta understand her frustration.
maybe the point isn't solely to be recognized, but some recognition for all of your efforts isn't a terrible thing either.

Do you even read the shite you post?
His clicks aren't because of his actions, they're because...of....reasons!!

Unlike most governments and NGOs, he's actually made a difference and not just embezzled taxpayer funds.

It’s an incredible feat to take something this awesome and both A) make it about yourself, B) cry about it, and C) play the victim
Just unreal mental gymnastics at work here

I wouldnt lift a finger to help people who despise me.

My 8yo is a big fan so I've already heard these stories.
I was also told Mr. Beast has his own line of chocolate bars that are distributed in Walmart.
So Mr. Deeprig9 was dispatched to Walmart on Christmas Eve, into the hive, to find some of these for stocking stuffers.
Could not find.
That's all I got.

The people who really need the help don't despise you. This woman is just miserable.

A statistically significant number of "non profits" are corrupt AF.
They don't want people really helping.

So is she doing what she is doing to help people, or for recognition?
Also, the self unawareness of her saying this while the reason that these places are so fricked up is because of African black regimes is wild.

I hate her simply because her stupid first name reminds me of the curse of satan that is saran wrap. That is unforgivable.

If Saran was really interested in improving water infrastructure and sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa then the fact a white dude is helping wouldn’t matter.

We found out all too well here in the USA that Kenyans can't govern worth a shite.
