What's the context? That article seems entirely positive toward the YouTuber

If someone overcharges you and makes you angry until you demand the lower rate for dissatisfied customers, you can say "I Rate The Irate Rate Rate"

This post is fricking dumb.

Somehow, one or two twitter users is now 'the left'.

That was pretty great. Where did he get the money to be so generous?

He takes his massive YouTube money and reinvests 100% of everything into businesses, his videos, and helping others

Dude makes bank. Not a particular fan of his videos, but he seems like a good guy.

Good for him and great for the people he is helping. I'm going to sub to his channel just to support him. It's the least I can do.

The cynical me: he's taking easily half the money.

Holy shite. He as 130M subscribers. That's like 260 CNNs at primetime.




Now I see were he gets his money.

Many people pointed out that the surgeries MrBeast is paying for out of his own pockets is what universal healthcare looks like.


People are so stupid. This is what philanthropy looks like.

Jimmy don't care about money and material things. He sleeps at his office.

Just wants to put out good content. His videos make $millions every month, but he gives it away and spends it on more videos. He's an interesting character and pretty dang business savvy.

Also NC based. Homestate dude.

I can see why. Just perusing through his videos you can tell they don't come cheap. He is destroying a lot of very expensive equipment and studio set up.

He or pewdiepie does

I would think he does if you add all his channels together, by a wide margin though

Of course he's taking half the money.

That's his right.

It's estimated his channel probably makes around $45m+ a year.

His videos probably cost less than $20m to produce in total.

I heard this on the news this morning and was really impressed.

How can ANYONE complain about this selfless act?

I have never heard of this guy, and I am not taking the time to learn anything more about some YouTube "celebrity," but I applaud him for this.

=======
EDIT

The complaint seems to be that this is a publicity stunt. It is helping people. Who cares if he gets a little publicity in return?
