Like I said.. I'm super conflicted about shoving a camera in peoples faces while you give them money to help them in dire situations. just so you can get more views....(although, TV has been doing this type of shit for ever, think about the Olympics, every event they have some sob story about the athlete and how they have overcome)

I think it's super fucked up, but at the same time, they are helping people. Is it more humiliating to do it this way, or to make someone jump through redtape, bureaucracy and what not to get assistance from the state?

I watched the Mr. Beast gets people vision video because I'm all for a youtube fixing peoples vision who didn't have the funds to do it themselves. Like, that shit is literally life changing. I watched the videos, I watched the Ads, I did it all... however his other content, like staying in a circle or putting your hand on a car, that doesn't appeal to me.

Oh yeah, I’m with you all the way. Just felt the need to butt in and be a part of the conversation.

Take care bud.
