▲ 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.

I do not like giveaways because most of them are just tax-write-offs. However, if someone has money, it is theirs to decide how to use. And if someone else is being helped and not harmed, then it's a good thing. I do not know of anyone being harmed by MrBeast. But I do know of people and animals benefitting from his generousness. Being embarrassed is not the same as physical injury. Much like participation in MrBeast videos is not the same as participation in Squid Game. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nac82@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago* Lmao, the effort you spent in responding to this thread is enough to merit ridicule.
