▲ 253 ▼ Mr Beast is an evil guy that show how capitalisim can turn poor people into clowns to entertain rich people. (lemy.lol) submitted 2 years ago by King@lemy.lol to c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world 132 comments fedilink hide all child comments He is an evil individual who fails to address systemic issues or assist people for their own benefit. As a game show host, he humiliates and exploits participants, boasting about his own virtues without any regard for the contestants. Examples: https://youtu.be/9RhWXPcKBI8 https://youtu.be/tnTPaLOaHz8 https://youtu.be/gHzuabZUd6c https://youtu.be/DuQbOQwVaNE I believe legal intervention is necessary to limit his actions towards people and prevent him from exploiting them for personal gain. Quick note: while I believe that results of some of his videos is good ( which he did to show how good of a person he is), that does not change the facts about his evil videos, the same way bezoz donations does not make him a good person.
