Funny how Mr. Beast actually gets stuff done and the charities are upset and that is because he didn't give them the money to spend on their staff and bureaucracy instead of going directly to the people .
BINGO! in Mexico the president AMLO did exactly that, took out the "NGO middle man" gave directly to th elderly, disabled, farmers, etc...The establishment hates him😂
As a middle aged man, I had no idea who MrBeast was until my kids introduced me to him. I watched an interview where he explained that he initially did what all suddenly-rich UA-camrs do: buy cars, houses, clothes, etc but decided rather quickly that wasn’t his style. Instead, he decided to use the platform to help others and he makes these videos for a reason - the money generated from the videos is what enables him to fund the next big charitable event. He’s created a perpetual charity funding machine and the only thing we have to do to help is watch, like, and subscribe. Brilliant
It's incredible to see how fast people sitting at home forget about the people far away who really need drinking water. Im quite glad to hear about mr beast supplying drinking water.
THE TRUTH IS he was doing it for views and most probably doesn't really care about Africans. I know his content. That however doesn't mean he shouldn't have done it. I care more about action than thought, so they should encourage more people to help regardless of the intention.
My grandfather was a state senator for many years and loved to tell this joke. “If one day my party cured Cancer, the other will yell at us for putting Doctors out of business”
@@SSGoatanks allegations are just that. They are not proof of any wrongdoing. Insecure betas love trying to bring down winners due to their toxic insecurity, envy and jealousy.
As a person who's disabled, and the unending chronic pain that comes with it, it pisses me off to no end when people say my disease is some kind of identity that needs to be preserved. These morons have clearly never bothered to look into the daily burden we go through; they think you just tweak your life with a few chairs and ramps and life is otherwise the same. You get left out of living most of life that everyone else takes for granted.
Well said. I have mild autism, which makes my disability difficulty for others to see, even though the harm it has caused is obvious. I struggled to finish college and never used my degree, have never been financially independent, and have never had a romantic relationship. I'm what I call a "partial adult." When I was a child, many developmental milestones came late to me. As an adolescent and an adult, they never came. Until I was in my 40s, my family was still thinking, "it will happen for him, it just takes him longer." No, they won't happen. I have a disability that has caused "inabilities."
I found alot of faux sympathy stems from evangelicals who while being openly supremacist in nature(I'm not talking ethnicity but there is a lot of that also) they inherently patronise people with disabilities. The quiet part being said out loud is that able-bodied evangelists consider themselves better in all respect to the disabled, no matter the level of acuteness of a person's condition. To compensate for this ignorance they will actively convince their disabled flock that their disability should be treated as either a friend and/or just God's plan.
Um.. no. Disability is different than health and well being. What Maher said was offensive and dangerous. There is a lot of nuance. Like the difference between being born with a disability versus acquiring one in life, two very different experiences and perspectives.
As a disabled person, yes to everything he said. We don't want sympathy, we don't want to be lied to, we definitely don't want it praised, we want it fixed, we just have to accept it usually can't.
You see, the media not all of it, but the majority of it, is down with the new world order, and or donald trumps Authoritarianism! FEMA CAMPs, for the poor! People better wake up!
Agreed! It is not nice or funny to walk through life with a disablity and feeling frustrated because everyone is aware of it but no one helps, they pander or even hinder your way. Some disabilities are life-long and incurable so we have to live with it but that doesn't mean that if given the chance to fix it we wouldn't jump at it if we could not havve to eal with that problem for the rest of our lives.
Exactly, and if a disabled person doesn’t want to be fixed, it’s their choice. No need for the media to scorn those that are making it possible to even be fixed in the first place.
The funny thing is, there are more of him (as far as net worth goes) but they don't really do anything like he does. So the "Woke" will complain about the rich doing nothing to help then MrBeast does do something and they complain about that. The lesson learned? The "Woke" live to complain. They don't want actual solutions, just the means to complain and preferably get paid because they are complaining. Which of course shows their hypocrisy towards Capitalism, etc.
@@AbbieFabbieBoBabbie They call it "soy face" and I agree it has to stop. They do it because the UA-cam algorithm has somehow convinced people that soy face in the thumbnail means you should watch this video. And some have said that your video won't get as much traction without it. But I do hate it very much.
I lost my hearing in adulthood, and four years ago - just a few months before Covid - received a cochlear implant. It has changed my life. It has given me music back. It is the literal definition of a miracle, in my understanding. While I do believe that anyone who is disabled has the right to embrace the world with dignity in any way THEY see fit, I want to say to my surgeons and audiologists: THANK YOU FOR FIXING ME! Go Bill Go!!
Instead of putting buckets on people’s heads or messing with random strangers this guy is out there providing clean drinking water for children and curing disabilities. I’m totally fine with that and I hope more UA-camrs emulate him.
@paulw5039 Exactly.They don't have a moral compass, they will murder for their ideology without a second thought because it is their religion: Marxism, and their imaginary utopia is worth any means.
@@paulw5039Mr Beast ONLY does these things because his goal is to be the most famous and richest UA-cam person of all time. You can listen to him talk in ANY of the long form podcasts he's been on. He is NOT doing philanthropy out of the kindness of his heart. He is not doing it because he is a good person. He is a narcissist, and his ONLY goal is to exploit the YT algorithm for his own fame. The fact that it HAPPENS to be charity and kindness is because that is what WE, the people watching the videos and driving his popularity, want to see. He would produce literally whatever content generated the most views. He is not a good person, and that's obvious if you just listen to him talk in the podcasts he's been on. He's a self obsessed narcissist.
@@thisisgettingold Yet he's helped so, so many people while you're here being spiteful and nasty about him. Who's the better person again? How do people like you even exist?
@MA-ts3xs thing is he never had to, he was doing just fine but wanted to help more so he turned his channel into a vehicle of change. It would be like a super profitable company like Pepsi just one day said fuck it share holders are getting 1/8th of their usual growth so we can donate 7/8ths to people and some how seeing it as bad.
@SpaceRanger187 like what? They didn't bring water to their own people. They didn't cure blindness in people or gift multiple good home to poor people... instead their organizations leader got caught stealing the funds. BLM started out as a great cause that immediately like all other causes got turned into a radical home grown terrorist group.
The reason why Mr. Beast gets so much done is simply because he just does it. And he does it with money out of his own pocket. No red-tape. No approval committee. No government interference.
Call me cynical....but whenever a celebrity gets involved with charity, it is NEVER something good. Michael Jackson said he was a philanthropist. That he was bringing sick kids to Neverland, to show them a zoo. We all know how that turned out.... Jared Fogle said he was a charity guy, too. That he had a non-profit to help kids lose weight. We all know how that turned out. Penn State got into this as well. They would bring low-income kids to football games. To show them a good time, they said. In reality, the assistant coach had been molesting them since the 1970s. The real coach knew about it and helped cover it up. So I get very suspicious when I hear "non-profit" and "famous guy" in the same sentence.
NO!!!!!! You must PROUDLY refuse help and want to have broken arms too. Say people who would not be able to endure your situation if they were in it. Best of luck to you.
@dennistesolat5346 Bill Maher: “Let me take this moment to go on the record,” he said. “If I am blind, deaf or paralyzed, don’t praise me - fix me!” Dennis (I know you from your CareCure days), you're a longtime para, like me (40 years). There ain't been no fix available in all that time and there isn't one on the near or mid horizon. Given the fixed reality of our injuries, Bill's comments, which were not completely without merit, lacked a lot of important nuance. His was a highly entertaining but straw man argument. He'd make a good demagogue.
I do too, but it's a complete waste of time to worry about a cure that is likely decades away (if it ever happens) on a day-to-day basis. Although the thing I'd most likely welcome with a cure is a dramatic reduction in the amount of regular mindless condescension from uneducated idiots, moreso than working legs in and of itself.
He has done more for people than many charities do when nobody expected him to do it. I worked for charities for years and I think charities should learn from him.
He's done more for people than many countries have done!! How much money do you think these highly paid musicians are giving back? He gives back and he doesn't have to give up any of it to the needy. The face organization I can't remember the exact name it was complaining about him coming in and drilling the wells well that's not even an asset that they can run short of those organizations could have bought a well drilling set up decades ago and could constantly be on the move drilling water wells, but really they just spend most of their money fundraising. Okay admittedly I just made that last part up but it's probably accurate.
My step brother worked for a charity for a short period. He quit after finding out who gets most of the money. It's the charities and their bosses who get big bonuses.
He is far better than as charity. A charity is a business. When disaster strikes, they do much good in the beginning. The problem is they stay around providing free things so that the local farmers cannot sell their produce and animal products, stores can't sell clothing or toothpaste and so on. In the end you have a group left perpetually poor because they cannot compete with the charity. The charity doesn't care though, their CEO is making millions while patting himself on the back for conning people. Mr Beaste goes in and makes a real difference. He provides long term solutions that allows people to lift themselves out of poverty, to stay health so they can work and go to school and play and so on. He doesn't stick around destroying their economy, he helps them to build up their economies. Some of the wells he put in will water crops allowing the people to not only feed themselves, but to also sell produce improving their lives.
A lot of "charities" are just tax havens for activists. And as an activists, you cant ever complete your mission in what youre fight for or youll be out of a job. Think anti-racists really want racism to go away, then what will the do?
I suspect that many of the 'charities' that complain about people like Mr Beast are upset that he goes to the cause and denies them the ability to syphon off some of the money for their ' executives'. It's just a thought.
Very likely. And it is also very likely that they ALREADY got enough to do what he did and spent the money on "administrative fees" so they couldn't do anything.
Good point. I didn't think of that. I just thought they were resentful that he was effective while they weren't. Also, now they'll have to find some other facility to use as a fundraising appeal. That's why these agencies hate solving problems. There's no employment security in that. Wouldn't it be great if every charity was so effective they put themselves out of business?
Yes, thank you. I had polio in 1952. I have been waiting to be healed for 71 years. I was 60 % disabled then. I was always told that I was equal to everyone else. I never was equal. I am still waiting to be healed.
These people don't care to help you, they just wanna feel good about treating you politely in a condescending way while they let you suffer. If you're healed, they will lose the virtue they got from treating you politely, so they actually prefer it that nobody heals you.
Mitch McConnell had Polio and is disabled. When Trump held his hand, to steady him going up some stairs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he was ruthlessly attacked for it. Attacked for the natural trait of having compassion. The Left has something wrong upstairs.
Your body isn't equal fam, because we all get a different layout with pros and cons. No one has an equal body, not even twins! But you, your soul, your life, your experienced and lessons? Equal in value to everyone else. If you thought being equal means you get the same things, then someone neglected to teach you that the concept of equality is your right to exist and participate. "All men are created equal," refers to our start and baseline value, and does not say, "All men should receive equal punishments and rewards." (Also, of note, 'men' used to refer to all humans, as the word human was derogatory to refer to the species on par with animals... and back in that day it was culturally offensive to suggest we had anything in common with beasts when we had something as profitable as society rising our behavior above mere instinct. 'Men' back in the day included women and children, and cowards and heroes alike. We were all men, but what kind of man were you...?) It is not your right to receive benefit, because we all use our equality of opportunity differently.
Same here, except just nearly blind. My line is "If you want to see something funny, throw me a baseball." It sucks, and if it could be fixed, (and I could afford it to be fixed), I would fix it.
I had cataract surgery in one eye. The other surgery was was canceled by the pandemic. Then I got shingles in the bad eye. They can't even make glasses where both eyes can see, since they're so different. I'm not blind, but my vision isn't great. I agree with you 100%. I worked doing brain injury research at a rehab hospital. Kids getting hit with baseball bats in fights, people slipping in a tub, strokes, motorcycle accidents. Every one of these people, and especially their loved ones, would do anything to get help. Fortunately or unfortunately, the brain has an amazing ability to heal itself. But usually not completely. Sometimes the deficits are things you can adapt to. Sometimes not. When it involves language, the patients and families are often extremely frustrated. There's a deficit where the speaker talks using non-words, but thinks they're make sense. And they get upset when they ask for something and no one knows what they want. Talk is cheap. Helping people is often very hard.

Y’know whose even more pathetic, the people who comment their explanations and claim they are right in hating him, and get defensive or aggressive when people start proving them wrong
AMEN!! I met Jimmy (Mr. Beast) when he worked with our non-profit in a genuine and very beneficial way. He is actually shy and reserved, and really gives a damn about making this world a better place. I’ve also worked with the executive director of Beast Philanthropies, and he is one amazing, kind, giving human being. Both he and Jimmy are self-made and independently wealthy - and they choose to focus on those who need it most, making this world better. If only all those idiots criticizing their efforts would do the same!
True. He didn't steal his money from anyone. And he decides to use it how he sees fit which coincidentally helps thousands of people in need. I am tired of the virtue-signalling epidemic we're seeing these days, where passersby just complain how this or that guy are not perfect and should up their game, while they do absolutely nothing themselves.
so you're proud of taking money from millions of children and their overburdened and tragically underpaid parents to prop up the image of Jimmy's corporate brand? I didn't think chat bots could be evil yet...
Amen! Bobby Kennedy famously said, lo, these many years ago that there are people who see a problem and say 'somebody' should do something. A second group sees the problem and tries to fix it. But there is also the third group who realize that when you DO fix a problem, usually you actually create another problem. But that doesn't mean you were wrong to fix the first problem. He was a good man and l think that that ONE statement helped me to become more able to understand that, usually, there are 2 legitimate sides to a situation
Nobody likes an imposter 😅😅 being black is not going to give you any advantage in a convo, so stop mentioning it, especially cause the contents of your channel don’t suggest anything regarding your blackness.
I've watched Mr. Beast on UA-cam for several years and he's done so much good in the world. Those non profits and media jokes who criticize him clearly don't really care about fixing a problem, they're just triggered because he fixed something they've been faking for a long time. I'm sure he's not perfect, but at least he takes a portion of the money he earns and helps people. BTW, I'm rated 100% disabled by the VA and have been seeing doctors for years IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX ME. Haha, just had to throw that out there.
I feel yuh, I have two sleep disorders and going to a doctor and more of less fixing them was the best thing I ever did. Why the hell would I want to accept being tired and clumsy all the time and always being late and forgetting things?
i've broken my left leg twice, first time shattered, second time clean break, i can no longer run, no longer jump, and while I can walk, it's with MUCH pain - i got used to it If you can fix it? FUCK YES! I hide it because I don't want to be seen as disabled, and i bring it up when it matterrs. Someone wants me to play football, i'll mention it - going to the movies? no need to bring it up and i'm NOT saying it's wrong to be disabled, if people think that's the case, oh well, but I don't want to be to be disabled, so i live like i'm not and endure the pain - and people always bring up my bad leg which I don't want to think about, the pain already reminds me, so i don't mention it
We don't have "Healthcare" in America. We have "Sick-care" they will payout machines and meds to help with symptoms. But there in 0 interesting in helping in your health or wellbeing. Gotta keep you ordering refills.
It's because there's money in a treatment, but not much in a cure. The problem with most NPOs is that if they actually solved the problem they claim to want to solve, they'd be out of business. It instantly becomes a conflict of interest.
How DARE you BETRAY the disabled community like that! :D Jokes aside, I hope you get better as much as possible! (Was that bigoted of me to wish you well?)
As the parent of 3 children with disabilities, I will encourage them that they can do so much in spite of their disabilities. But I would give anything if their disabilities could be cured.
Tell that to the mayors of Los Angeles San Francisco Chicago and New York. The Democrats and the left invented WOKE and worship it. That's why those cities have gone down the tubes.
No, they don’t. Liberals want to tear down the orthodoxy and existent systems because they are convinced that they are the source of all evil. The term originally referred to being free of orthodoxy. It’s why “liberal” was the opposite of “conservative”. Conservatives want to conserve systems, liberals want to break them down.
What Maher is describing is not wokeness, as in empathy for those in a bad situation that is beyond their control. It is _ressentiment_ toward those in a position to help out. It is anti-liberalism in its purest form. Meaning, hatred towards people on the top whether they are of good will or not.
When you only value identity status, then anything that changes that identity (i.e. a cure) is bad. Proving just how dangerous and stupid all this obsession with identity truly is.
We have the Fred Hollows Foundation. doctors go around the Pacific Islands doing cataract operations. The operation is quick and Doesn't need hightech operation theatres. The people who get their sight back are happy.
I think Bill's misses the point on the wells built in Africa. The complaint is about people doing and trying to do these these things for decades while being unable to get funds, and getting precious little recognition. Then Bill cherry-picks these few comments to attack them.
As a disabled person..I want to be fixed and be whole as I once was. Everyone I know with the issues I have also feels the same way. So much so, they are willing to buy medications and take them if it means they might be able to halt their disease even for a little while. Somehow wanting to be healthy is a superiority issue to some people who think we should be grateful for being disabled. It's all part of their victim complex
The so called "charities" that are complaining about Mr Beast actually helping people should be audited. They are probably paying their executives massive salaries but do virtually nothing to help the people they claim they are helping.
The worst charity is the politicians. They gather donations aka taxes and spend it irresponsibly. Money is not used effectively for the purpose it was set aside for. If only there was transparency in how the money is used and not siphon off to some slush fund for the greedy politicians.
Bill nailed this one. I became disabled when a heart defect became so bad that it made it impossible for me to walk very far or exert myself at all. I'm am thrilled that a cardiac surgeon can repair it and give me back a good life.

@@stevenwhyte1225 the video he makes about helping generate more money which gets used to help more money.

"He did it for the views" I don't give a shit why he did it, he still DID. IT. He built wells in Africa, he gave people their eyesight back which is more than I can say for a lot of people. This is jealousy, plain a simple, people look at MrBreast and think "fuck, what am I doing with my life, god I'm a loser" and need to do or say anything to minimize his effort.

Yes, but fixing things is HAAAARD. It's much easier to criticize & protest & accuse & cancel others. These woke people are lazy, so they don't want to do anything that requires personal sacrifice or discipline or hard work or independent thinking. It's easier to be PC & virtue signal & complain about 1st world "problems" made up by the affluent & "educated" (indoctrinated) than to solve ACTUAL problems.
You know why they’re angry? Follow the money. Most of these “charities” have a vested interest in keeping their stated cause around because as long as it’s there, they have a steady revenue stream.
Oh come on it’s totally above board when a charity brings in 10 million in donations, spends 7 million on marketing, 2 million on exec salaries, and 950k on family members’ salaries.
This applies to groups the "Progressives" claim they care about. The minute one of them says something outside of the Progressive victim narrative they are written off as being bad people.
The people that are angry on Twitter aren't even running charities, they're doing nothing. Actual charities are often really supportive because they know how difficult the work is and appreciate the help and Mr Beast frequently partners with local charities because those people have the required expertise to achieve long-lasting results.
virtually nobody's mad at Mr beast, they just are mad that these problems aren't getting solved more effectively. we shouldn't have to hope Mr beast helps blind people, they were let down by the government, and Mr beast can't afford to fix everything government should have taken care of
These are literally the same people who complain that rich people are evil and have too much money, but when they want to use their money to help that's evil too. Can't win with these people... They're completely lost when they can't feel victimized or have anything to complain about. Their way of thinking has been warped to see things differently than normal people.
Love this! I have cerebral palsy and have overcome my condition, and I’m thankful people are more respectful of disabilities, but I’d love any research that made me and millions of others not have to deal with our cerebral palsy anymore. We want more research and we want everyone with CP to benefit from research.
In the CP club too and my condition is regressing and I don’t like it. Advancements are not ableism. Ableism is being in a restaurant on your way to the restroom and a stranger called a “warrior”. My legs work poorly and I struggle to walk. If this is where I stay, treat me like an adult who is capable of being a functioning human being not a child. Why can’t people just understand that distinction?
I don't usually agree with bill on politics, although I think he's very funny. However, here he is 100% correct. As someone who has lived with cerebral palsy all my life. I would kiss the feet of anyone who could cure me. I think people have confused not being ashamed of being disabled, which nobody should be. It is not your fault, with disability isn't really an impediment, which trust me it is.
I wouldn’t call myself disabled (at worst I’m mildly autistic) so this may come across as uninformed, but I think what needs to happen is that people on the left need to stop romanticizing disabilities. We shouldn’t mock or exclude people for having a disability, but we should help and encourage people to find ways to adapt (idk if this is the right word) to those disabilities. When my mother learned I was autistic, she immediately began to look for ways to treat it. I likely would have been much worse off if she hadn’t.
I don't even think this has much to do with disabled people. These journalists mostly want to create controversies that sanctimonious leftists can grab on to. Secondary to that, they want to destroy traditional society by erasing conventional categories. Disabled people just happen to be collateral damage here.
@@calebmacenka3132 - Autistic itself used to mean profoundly retarded. It is now used loosely to describe almost any atypical behavior. They had to use the term "mentally retarded", because "mentally handicapped" was considered mean. They had to change it to "mentally handicapped", because "mongoloid" was considered mean. They had to change it to "mongoloid", because "idiot", "moron", and "imbecile" were considered mean. Whenever everyone is informed of the meaning of the new word, it will invariably be considered mean, and changed by well-meaning "imbeciles".
@@calebmacenka3132 If she had celebrated and enabled it, you might have become one of the people in the Reddit stories that is a problem for all around them. But thanks to her now you can't call yourself disabled. Because you are not.
Once again you have highlighted a real issue that needs to be addressed in a serious way. I have been watching my wife slowly die and become completely debilitated from Multiple Sclerosis for the past 23 years. I have exhausted our monetary resources and my own physical and mental well being to fight this thing, so thank you Bill for shining a light on the issue of disabilities if only for a moment.
Same with me. My wife has been slowly declining physically and mentally for the last 17 years for then unknown reasons. We finally discovered a few years ago she has an extremely rare genetic disorder that affects her entire body causing cognitive and physical decline. She's currently trying a new medication that only became available earlier this year. The damage that has already been done is likely permanent, but we're hoping the treatment will stop or slow the progression at least. 🤞
I had an argument with someone claiming his donation of cochlear implants was helping to ruin and stigmatize deaf culture. Nobody was dragged to surgery for this. These were people that *wanted to hear*. Whether it be music, or their kids laugh, or simply if they were stepping in front of a honking vehicle, they have that right. So frustrating.
As a disabled person, Mister Beast is the only one actually trying to help us for free. In my city we have multiple organizations that pay their employees very well but don't offer much for the disabled; those parking lots have lots of Porsche, Benz, BMW and Cadillacs yet only offer 1 day a week with a waiting list to get assistance with paperwork.
@user-tn8uu2cu8g If I or anyone else followed after Islam, then we would be facing God's wrath. "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8-9). The teachings of Islam are very different from those of Jesus and the apostles. The apostles' teachings have been proven to be from God. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?" (Hebrews 2:3-4). No such support from God is found for Muhammad's teachings. Jesus and the apostles' teachings match the teachings and prophecies of the Old Testament. "And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' - when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18:21-22). Muhammad's teachings contradict the teachings of the Old and New Testament in many places. Therefore, by God's accepted Word, Muhammad fails the test of a prophet. "Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ" (Jude 3-4).
Same everywhere in the world. I worked for a charity in the Philippines for about two weeks that had a compound that could easily hold 250 orphaned or kids in need. They had about 20 kids, while advertising that they were helping 100+ daily. The people who worked there would have a literal feast, costing probably about 5-6k php a day or around 100-120 USD for 5-7 people depending on the day. Now this might not sound extravagant in other nations, 100 bucks for 5-7 people is a pretty good deal, but its not in the Philippines, and it especially isn't when you are all in designer clothes and wearing nice watches and your "housing facility' has about 20 kids who I suspected were actually just relatives of some of the people who worked there.
I was homeless for three months in Chicago in the early 90's (IT SUCKED). Then in 2015 I came down with an autoimmune with a 1% cure rate. I will spit in the face of ANYONE and EVERYONE applauding me for waking up every morning and having to pop a handful of meds just to get enough energy and relief from the pain to make a cup of coffee and then head into my office/man cave to sit in my recliner for two hours. It is only then that the meds and caffeine dull the aches and pain enough to actually do about 90 minutes worth of work around the house before I have to lay back down for 2 or 3 hours to repeat for dinner. Thank you Bill
This is some of the best I've seen from Bill. He identifies the problem, calls it out with wit and humor, and then focuses our attention on the issues that actually matter. Bravo!
I do think it's funny, but I also have a bit of a laugh track feeling with this kind of stuff. (Or at the very least that it's a bit forced.) @@eugenkrause5556
@@AuthoritarianismKanadastahn I had no idea what you were even on about...then I saw blackface as your profile pic and I was like "oh homie just got good jokes 😂" because calling someone racist for their character/stage name, that has nothing to do with race... is on its own..very racist 😂 almost had me believing you were a racist with no humor.
they're making six figure salaries doing studies and going on junkets only to talk about the problems but doing little if anything to solve them while pissing away millions in donations....
don't assume. they might have been aid workers already in country complaining about mr Beast drawing attention away from their organizations. i mean, they're still being silly, but we shouldn't assume the folks criticizing are doing nothing.
No, they're complaining that a mortal man has a cult of personality aura about him and that people who are attracted to such folks aren't exactly the best critical thinkers out there. It bears mentioning that a lot of Mr. Beast channel subscribers are children.
do you continue to see an eye doctor? how many follow up appointments did you have? as someone whose cataract surgery resulted in five additional surgeries from damaged retina, i am now visually impaired. Not overjoyed. if the people who got surgeries couldn't pay for a procedue that is usually covered by insurance, they arent going to continue aftercare that is necessary to monitor eye health for potential complications. is he going to pay for that too? this kind of surgery isn't as simple as it is presented.
How fucking dare you? You should have been happy to be blind. As someone that has never had to struggle with anything I have to say you're ability to see just diminishes the struggles of others who can't see..... Or some shit I don't really know. On a serious note though, that's great and wish you all the best.
I can’t believe that the “AFRICAN FRONT” group or whatever it’s called, their spokesperson actually said it out loud, a Freudian slip; “it sucks that he gets all the attention” It’s so telling, it was never about helping people, just the attention.
Have you seen the full statement? I think that one was taken out of context cause I saw one similar to this and was actually praising him. Some yahoo writer just chose to leave some parts out to create controversy. Some aspiring wanna be African politician was the one that was criticizing him heavily without even understanding or knowing who Mrbeast is.
@@thizzgerald361well how does that sentence come together and become “out of context” in the interview? Unless they said “I heard some jerk say ‘it’s too bad MrBeast came in and got all the attention”
More people need to watch this. I can’t believe the audacity of these people who are calling out Mr Beast for actually making a difference. This should be a wake up call to everyone that “charities” are a waste of time and money. What we need is actual philanthropists who make a change instead of organizations who only speak of making change.
@@user-gi8kg2yf1j First of all, he never said Mr. Beast is better than anyone. Second, do you think you have sacrificed so much that it equals giving sight to 1000 blind people and giving people the ability to have fresh drinking water? Calm down.
how many of the people who had cataract surgery sponsred by jimmy donaldson had complications? is he going to pay for their aftercare and long-term issues that result? helping wrong is not looking deep enough into the issues? maybe labeling it wrong (to get more clicks) is more appropriate. cataract surgery is NOT a cure for blindness.
@@user-gi8kg2yf1j If you read the comment again, they did not say "we aren't doing as much" or criticized people who give in other ways. They simply said MrBeast did more " than 99.9% of us COULD ever do..." That is a much different statement and is clearly referring to financial help - which is the help MrBeast offered.
@@user-gi8kg2yf1j he's blessed with abundance so yes he's doing more than most it's just facts for what he's physically capable of financially. It doesn't mean others don't do their part too but we can't affect as many so quickly it's just impossible.
Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post writer Bill refers to, is the definition of a woke reporter and just a terrible person. Besides her bad takes on Mr. Beast, she also doxxed people on TikTok and tried to get them fired because she disagreed with their views. She also called them out for being Jewish so they’d get attacked more, even though she constantly complains that people bully her online and any attack on her is just because she’s a woman.
Between this bint and that other piece of work from WaPo, Felicia Sonmez, that place is the journalistic equivalent of a daycare that lets kids fingerpaint on the walls with feces.
Thank you, Bill. ALL of that had to be said and I even agreed 100% with you for the first time! Society needs to be fixed nearly as badly as disabilities do. Pray for both.
Never heard of him, but I will check out his YT. People saying crap about him helping blind people shows how low we are going as a society. They should take time away from being jerks and put some time in helping people they don't know who need help.
@simulationkoyo All of the sources (Bill Maher, who is liberal) that he stated were from liberal people. He is just taking accountability for our ideology
Giving money is really critical to this though. If it is more efficient for people to work their job as a doctor or whatever, and donate instead of volunteer, we should be happy about that.
@@stevenwhyte1225 Sure, but the same kind of person who would say something like that could also say where is the proof you did that? So you get a video. Basically no winning move like maher was saying. Society has a lot of pos in it.
What's really disturbing is that Mr Beast has probably did more than all these money laundering charities that never really accomplish or help but are quick to accept your money. Maybe that's why they're mad, because he's actually helping
I remember Walmart started a donation organization. They found out that the money was being used to avoid more taxes. There just donating to themselves. lol
@@cookiemonster208 To be honest like what happen with Walmart. It does make me think they are being inefficient on purpose. You can say the same with how organization combat homelessness in California. Those money are just making them rich than helping the homelessness.
Before people would say "All those drug addicts wouldn't go back to normal" I have seen someone who is a meth addicted and that is very strong drug. But he change his ways after a year. We all thought he wouldn't change. I think people should check those harm reduction centers again because if people can't change in a year even light drug like canabis. There simply not doing anything. There just wasting tax money.
I don't think they know it at all. They're quite convinced that they're correct. They are encouraged and congratulated by their peers, which is why the problem persists.
Someone who put up a blm icon on their Facebook page who thinks they're a hero sees him helping half a million Africans. Instead of being happy their jealousy makes them miserable
Bill, I'm also a UA-cam content creator so I have more than average experience with keyboard warriors. I've come to embrace the philosophy that if you serve 1000 people a perfectly cooked free meal in a comfortable environment, some one will complain about the color of the plate. You keep being you, we love your show. Joe ( Joe Pie UA-cam )and Colette, Austin Texas.
They are just afraid they will lose their turf. Pretty much all institutional charities have a perverse incentive to ensure whatever it is they are nominally there to solve actually persists forever so that sweet donor cash can then go to executive travel packages, fancy dinners and speaker fees. Mrbeast just said let's cut out the middle man and the charities and people like hasan "3M dollars mansion in california" piker are seething.
What I love most about Mr. Beast is that he doesn’t just donate to some organization, so that organizations’ leadership can then use the bulk of that money to fly business class, have lavish meals, throw ridiculous soirées, etc. Nope, he identifies an area of need and then makes a tangible difference with minimal spillover. A Gen Z legend 🏆
+ @mfamily5986 And there, my friend, is the crux of the problem with him. His actions DENY them those perks, etc. But They can't use those words, so it is masqueraded behind woke identity jargon.
No he creates his own organization so that he can use the bulk of the money on himself. You understand that he's profited off everything, therefore he's never really donated by definition. He also has a private jet, which negates your entire point.
@@scambaitspidey3470He has a private jet from his UA-cam channel. He didn't start the charity to get the perks. He had them already. He has helped more people than you EVER will, private jet or not.
As someone who was temporary blind due to cataracts (14 days until I was able to get surgery) thank you Mr. Beast. You could have done what any other stupid YT does, yet you help people
He did initially, buybthe cars, jewellery, clothes etc like most, but got bored of it quickly, still gets on a yacht or jet when he needs to, but doesn't need to own & show off
Back in the 1960s my uncles neighbor gave United Way $100 and designated the money to go to an elderly couple at Christmas. Couple months later the neighbor asked the couple how their Christmas was. The old man said good, I even got $20 from United Way. The neighbor was pissed. He went back to the charity and asked what they did with the other $80. They said that was for overhead. I never give to charities
They're only required to donate 10%. If they're famous, they can get away with 1%. Check out the numbers from the Clinton foundation. They spent more money on their daughters wedding than they ever gave away.
I used to live in London and there when you buy your stuff at the supermarket, they ask you if you want to donate £1 to whatever charity, I used to say yes, until I found out they actually use our money to make their corporate donations, i.e. the more we give, the less they have to. So from then on I started donating food. I also volunteered for a few charities and the ones for children were blatantly stealing, they were using tricks like giving us, the volunteers, cameras to shoot the event and then collecting and returning the cameras, although in the documents it said that instead of pay we will keep the cameras. Another thing, we were organising games for kids, and they "paid" for the venue, when we arrived it was a free playground, it started raining and thankfully one of the parents had connections with a nearby school so we were allowed to continue with the games in their gym. And don't get me started on the catering that was "late", supposedly the company was owned by someone on the charity's board, I'm sure they were paid, but the kids only got whatever sandwich their parents could get at the local store and we each got a sandwich from a huge cardboard box at the charity's office. It was a freaking disgrace.
That would be nice. But sounds too much like communism. Sad that old hippies who got rich turned into cheap, tax evading Republican voters and try to hold onto to every cent they make. Or christian nationalists who believe God loves white America males most of all.
Spamming comments tells us the exact opposite, that you're needy and a peddler, doing tiny, annoying things for some alleged, all-powerful being who could mold Its world in the blink of an eye, if it chose.

Most rich people are rich because they are building factories, machinery, stores, transportation systems, creating better jobs, better products more efficiently and producing real wealth that enable someone like Mr. Beast to get wealthy and do what he does. Look at poor nations and their rich take their money from others, they create nothing new.
I had a close friend who was deaf and was an active member and volunteer in the deaf/hearing impaired community. When he married a woman who had normal hearing they judged him harshly. And then, when he got cochlear implants and could hear again, they no longer wanted his help within their community. They were vicious to him and his wife.
I never understood the deaf community and their obsession with remaining deaf. Life is objectively easier and tbh safer if you can hear. I get being deaf becomes a big part of someone's identity but don't shun someone because they wanna hear.
@@Itstwofourteen Ah yes. Unfortunately the crabs in a bucket syndrome is pervasive and ongoing. Even in places where society hasn't quite launched yet, the crabs routine might be the very reason they haven't launched.
You mean the problem he ridiculed you and everyone else for trying to point out? That problem? Ostriches like Maher are the reason why this shit was able to spread as far as it has in the first place. Him trying desperately to remain "cool" and relevant by defending the indefensible in order to keep associating with the "in" crowd. His weakness is as much to blame as their miserable hatred.
A Disability is real if only we had real Doctors to know who is legitimately disabled & who is scamming the system these Doctors can just say no you are not disabled & I bet your ass they will go back to work in no time because they have no other option most disabled have never worked a day in their lives or just had a kid to ride the welfare train it’s outrageous nothing but a bunch of squatters that specialize in working the system including Christmas gifts for their children from the local fire department toys for tots & donations from a local pantry with gifts & gift cards , Thad donations are not going to the families that deserve it they are going to scum bags , that don’t plan ahead like that are entitled hyped up on drugs.
Trouble with America is social media. Everybody has suddenly got an opinion on everything and many of the responders have zero knowledge on the subject they are responding to.
I remember being at a friend's retirement and all his coworkers where going to just let him pay for his last dinner out with them. I wasn't having it, although I wasn't one of his coworkers and had only met him a year earlier, I paid and wasn't going to have it any other way. Later on someone told me my gesture might of made others feel bad. I told them not my problem. If someone being help offends you or hurts you, then you've got major issues. Mr. Beast is helping people, even if he was doing for show... Who cares, people's lives are being changed for the better and that should be the only thing that matters.
YES! if i didn't pay cause i couldn't afford it id be happy someone else could of and done that gesture, its just crazy to me like when people say "you never see the bad parts of peoples lives online" like who wants to see people doing bad to make themselves feel better?
People who would feel offended or upset at that action are only interested because they do not reap the same benefits you have from being nice. Just jealous and vindictive people
My friend once had a boss (and the boss’s girlfriend) invite just him, his wife and one other person to a super super expensive restaurant for his own birthday (the guy who was inviting people). Then the other guy suggested that all the guests pay the bill, which since the guests were two thirds my friend’s household meant that they were paying for 2/3s of five people’s incredibly expensive meals. My friend was so pissed at the whole situation particularly since they hadn’t chosen the restaurant, the person who invited them there made way more money than them and knew it and it wasn’t their idea to pay for it yet just because they went out to this place they ended up having to spend thousands of dollars all the sudden based on some random dude’s idea
We had a millennial ‘brown skinned’ (her language) journalist, criticising Bob Geldof for creating Band and Live Aid,simply for being a white man. Conveniently ignoring all the money his idea raised,and that he was Irish and knows the history of his country and it’s people dying in the famine
Bob Geldof being a white man is irrelevant. Bob Geldof being not bright enough to realize that turning $100 million over to an east African dictator involved in a civil war is going to have unintended consequences IS relevant. Stuff like that is why cynics can't stand you "positive vibes only" types who need your heroes and your feel good stories.
@@mtemporary1 No. People are poor because we live in a capitalist pyramid scheme. You can’t have 0.1% of people able to buy $300 million yachts unless they have about 200,000 underpaid workers to generate that wealth thru actual productivity. If you want to see change super fast, just tell employers that they will pay $6 in tax for every $1 of public assistance for which their employees qualify, and you wold see every corporation paying a living wage the very next week.
I’ve gained respect for bill as he has the courage to call out the hypocrisy of people who generally speaking are “in his camp” politically and ideologically speaking. This video shows how many are “addicted to outrage” and will always find something to complain about. Glenn Beck wrote a book with that title.
Right on Bill! I too am an old liberal and this b.s. from the new liberals is appalling! WTF? Thanks for continuing to speak out against this craziness!
@user-tn8uu2cu8gIn the Christian religion, God doesn’t have a name. God is just God. In Arabic, the word for God is Allah. It’s not unusual for different languages to have different words for the same thing.
This is why conservatives cant understand why y'all havent started voting Republican. I dont like traditional Republicans but when you vote Democrat you know the craziest of them are dictating polices. The woke are nuts and if they get their way America wont last . Conservites actually belive in things that used to be considered liberal like not seeing color/ race no wars and we want less government and taxes . These traditional Republicans dont like the maga Republicans because the trade Republicans are neocons and war mongers and are just as bad as the woke .
Well put, @avidvideo. Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: KUDOS to Mr. Beast - "whoever he is." But wake up, Bill Mahr! Mr. Beast IS woke! He certainly isn't asleep like you are: a Jew who is helping to promote the up and coming rightwing HOLOCAUST. They are obviously replacing the word "Jews" with the words "the woke." FOR NOW. They're coming for Jews also, or hadn't you noticed? WAKE UP, Bill Mahr, and quit conserving your common sense, like conservatives do. Jesus Christ is a "bleeding-heart liberal." But I guess that's meaningless to you.
Nice to see you coming around Bill..... the real world is sick. It needs to be healed. And when folks like you meet folks like me in the middle....... it's awesome. 🇺🇸💪SEMPER FI💪🇺🇸
Perhaps Mr. Beast shares/shows what and how he does to help people...to encourage other people of means to also help...by his own example via social media platforms. There's nothing wrong with that. You are an incredible young man, Mr. Beast! Thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do.
My mom got cataracts and was unable to worknor read books like she had always loved to do. She kept bein declined for insurance for 2 years. During those years I was paying her bills and mine on less than 24k a year income. She was struggling and I was struggling until someone from her church organized her to see a charity doctor same as Mr Beast did for those people. I love Mr Beast (Jimmy) for what he does.
Not only does MrBeast reinvest "some" of the money he makes from his channel into doing good, he invests a HUGE portion of it in helping people, it's literally all he does. He's given away something like 30 million pounds of food as well. He has said over and over that he plans to do this and as much as he can for as long as he can until he dies or goes out of business and he also intends to spend ALL of his money on helping people before he dies, which God willing will not be for a very long time as he's so young. He turned down a 1 billion dollar offer for his channel. And, if you ever watch anyone interview him you can totally tell he's just a good midwestern kid who blew up and was rewarded for his incredible work ethic and his pure soul. His name is Jimmy Donaldson and he's a wonderful human being. Screw these people, they don't care about their victims or the truth, they just care about themselves and the virtue points they get for projecting their insane words towards the right audience. It's absolutely insane and decent people need to stand up against these narcissistic, self absorbed sociopaths.
NGL, if someone bought his channel for $1 billion, that would be a terrible deal for both parties. You can't just buy a channel and expect the audience to stay. 200 million people have subscribed to Mr. Beast for Mr. Beast, if it was bought by someone else and the content changed... most people would not be watching the new content.
How much can you spend? Not in stupid, wasteful things. You cannot take it with you. Doing good in visible ways CAN give you a high. It isn't his money and he is making more. So, why not? He KNOWS people are going to whine about it. And he is laughing at them.
This was an amazing segment. I've never been a big fan. But I appreciate that he isn't afraid to point out the absolute absurdity of today's extreme tribal politics, on both sides.
I'm just glad I finally got to see advertising money put to good use by someone. I've watched millions and millions (insane amounts) being spent on advertising for decades, and finally someone (Mr Beast) came up with a way to use that money to actually make a difference to other peoples lives. He produces the content, ads run alonside it, he spends his ad take on good stuff. It's literally the perfect business model, dependant only on the wider public wanting to see good content. Brilliant.
most of the money comes from children, more specifically, their struggling paycheck to paycheck parents. Not advertising revenue. Mr Beast sells merch. To kids. Mostly poor kids. And takes some of that money to shoot more videos of people reacting to how generous he is, with money he collected from children. Which he then uses to grow his audience and sell advertising. Because Mr Beast is a corporate brand. Not a swell guy who just likes giving people all his hard earned wealth because they could use it more than him. His business model is "shoot reaction video of people getting free stuff", "sell children who watch it and think he's the coolest rich guy ever merch", repeat. So you ain't got nothing at all to be glad about. Reality is exactly the opposite of something you should be proud of.
To say, "no," or to reject, criticize, and belittle is thought of as an indication of strength and independence. To say, "yes," to except, compliment, and praise is thought of as an indication of weakness and dependence. There may also be control issues involved...
Couldn't agree more 👏 Tf with people? Oh no, you helped an old lady with her bags! That's ageism! Oh no, you hold the door for a random person. Who do you think you are? How dare you take away their right to get hit by a door! Smh 🙄 These people are crazy. You were spot on Bill. Thank you.
@holocene2164 You seem very triggered by someone who has a different point of view then you do. Mr Beast did what he did for the money. I don’t agree with Rush Limbaugh a lot, but he was right when he said that people always do things for money, if someone tells you that it’s not the money, believe me, it’s the money.
That door comment sent me. 🤣💀 Also fully agree with you. I’m no Mr. Beast fan and haven’t seen a single one of his videos, but regardless of someone’s reasons for doing something good, if they did something good, then that’s all that should matter. The world desperately needs more do-gooders. People who don’t like him don’t need to watch, just as I don’t.
@@giantsr1eva I can only imagine how truly disgusting of a human you would have to be to genuinely believe that no person could be motivated by kindness, and that only greed could explain beasts choices. You must be a real pos to be so confidant about that. MrBeast already had more money than he can spend when he started the charity. a *charity* that does not generate any personal revenue. $0 dollars of income.
You know how this is true charity? He never centers the videos about himself but instead the issue at hand. Of course he'll take photos with people after helping, but will spend the entire video highlighting the stories of those impacted.

Mr. Beast does so much good. Think of all the crap most young people pump out on UA-cam and this guy is buying people groceries, fixing eye sight, and a whole lot more. Truly helping people and some media outlets have the audacity to attack this guy. It's completely absurd
he's not helping anyone. The community is. He's just built a business model around transferring money from poor people in column A to poor people in column B. He makes nothing. He does nothing. He brings no value whatever to anything. That all comes from the community. This is what all you kids aren't old enough, or mature enough to see. All that money comes from other people, mostly kids and their struggling moms. Jimmy isn't a philanthropist. He created a business model that depends on convincing children and the vulnerable to give him money then transferring some of it to his friends, then family and neighbors, then random people around the world. He runs a for-profit corporation. Not a charity. And his business model creates no products. No service is provided. No benefit whatsoever to anyone at all that isn't providing him with ads to roll, merchandise to retail, or reactions to showcase. He's a digital retailer selling people commercial guilt relief. It's a fun idea, but he's sacrificing nothing to help others. His business model requires it and businesses are for making money. There's a whole mess of scumbaggery and social filth that comes along with people of means collecting tithes from the poor to "sacrifice" those tithes to other poor people while collecting personal gains. Jimmy is basically a televangelist and his religion of choice just happens to be charity based. He's not pretending to heal with the word of the lord, he's pretending to sacrifice wealth to heal his company's revenue model.
He does it for the money 1st and out of kindness 2nd is all people said lol. I think that's a plausible assessment but too many fanboys wanna deny that likely reality. Why do it for free?
@@tdestroyer4780who gives a fuck? He's taking UA-cam/advertisers money and actually giving back to people with it. This shouldn't be a controversy. (Not saying you're making it one).

Thank you Bill for participating in the ice bucket challenge! My mom died of ALS. She had a beautiful singing voice and loved to dance with my dad. She lost all of that to that horrible disease, but she never lost hope. She fought hard and lived twice as long as expected and I guarantee, she and we wish it could’ve been longer. The world has truly turned upside down. But maybe if we continue to be kind and suffer a little icy water to help someone else, we can turn it upright again. Thank you also for your humor and your acute powers of observation!
Nobody was talking about ALS before that campaign. Even if you didn't donate, people who did the challenge brought the disease into the spotlight for someone who eventually did donate.
Probably favorite Bill Maher video! I heard the Mr Beast story on NPR and they were mostly criticizing him for the blindness video. I couldn't believe it
The fact that it becomes racial, and that they continue to demonize him for doing, quite literally, the most selfless things a human can do, will never not be f*cking INSANE.
This could not have been said any better. Two of my coworkers are confined to wheelchairs, and both have chronic pain. One was born ambulatory, the other was not. Just ask them how much they enjoy their disabilities. Believe me when I say they would give ANYTHING to be ambulatory and free of pain, and they could not possibly care less who it might offend should they become so lucky one day.
The whole idea of "curing" disability can pretty controversial, depending on the disability. For example, when cochlear implants first came out, the deaf community saw it as an erasure of their subculture, but nowadays this mentality is only limited to older deaf people with younger deaf people having no issue with it. Then there's people with autism, whose entire personality and life experience is shaped by being neurodivergent and they see the idea of purging autism from society as an attack on who they are as a person. Should people who want to be "cured" of their disability be shamed? Of course not. But at the same time, we really shouldn’t be surprised when a person who has been afflicted with a disability their whole life embraces it as part of their identity, which is more common than you might think. Whether people want to stop being disabled or keep being disabled should be left up to them, because it's no one else's business other than their own.
I don't align with Bill Maher politically(most of the time), but his common sense rule has been pretty spot on, and I find myself in agreeance. I didn't even know much about and have never watched Mr. Beast, but thanks to Bill, I just subscribed.
The really important thing for many charities is that, under normal circumstances, they are working to make themselves redundant. They should be working to solve the problem and make the need for the charity disappear. But they don't do that. They're bureaucracies and sink holes of funding. They know that if anything is actually done to solve the problem, they'll lose their funding. Or they'll have to pivot to something else. Stonewall is a good example. Gay rights were largely won, so their job was also basically done. So they pivoted to the anti-gay activism of gender ideology and juvenile medical mutilation, and tricking pubescent kids into thinking that the discomfort of puberty means they're "trans."
Funny how Mr. Beast actually gets stuff done and the charities are upset and that is because he didn't give them the money to spend on their staff and bureaucracy instead of going directly to the people .
Agree
That’s because charities are usually a front to launder money.

You are a genius, so right.
BINGO! in Mexico the president AMLO did exactly that, took out the "NGO middle man" gave directly to th elderly, disabled, farmers, etc...The establishment hates him😂
As a middle aged man, I had no idea who MrBeast was until my kids introduced me to him. I watched an interview where he explained that he initially did what all suddenly-rich UA-camrs do: buy cars, houses, clothes, etc but decided rather quickly that wasn’t his style. Instead, he decided to use the platform to help others and he makes these videos for a reason - the money generated from the videos is what enables him to fund the next big charitable event. He’s created a perpetual charity funding machine and the only thing we have to do to help is watch, like, and subscribe. Brilliant
He also has a whole separate channel for his Philanthropic Desires.
It's incredible to see how fast people sitting at home forget about the people far away who really need drinking water. Im quite glad to hear about mr beast supplying drinking water.
THE TRUTH IS he was doing it for views and most probably doesn't really care about Africans. I know his content. That however doesn't mean he shouldn't have done it. I care more about action than thought, so they should encourage more people to help regardless of the intention.

As a person who's disabled, and the unending chronic pain that comes with it, it pisses me off to no end when people say my disease is some kind of identity that needs to be preserved. These morons have clearly never bothered to look into the daily burden we go through; they think you just tweak your life with a few chairs and ramps and life is otherwise the same.
You get left out of living most of life that everyone else takes for granted.
Well said. I have mild autism, which makes my disability difficulty for others to see, even though the harm it has caused is obvious. I struggled to finish college and never used my degree, have never been financially independent, and have never had a romantic relationship. I'm what I call a "partial adult." When I was a child, many developmental milestones came late to me. As an adolescent and an adult, they never came. Until I was in my 40s, my family was still thinking, "it will happen for him, it just takes him longer." No, they won't happen. I have a disability that has caused "inabilities."
I found alot of faux sympathy stems from evangelicals who while being openly supremacist in nature(I'm not talking ethnicity but there is a lot of that also) they inherently patronise people with disabilities. The quiet part being said out loud is that able-bodied evangelists consider themselves better in all respect to the disabled, no matter the level of acuteness of a person's condition. To compensate for this ignorance they will actively convince their disabled flock that their disability should be treated as either a friend and/or just God's plan.

@@JPMaddenI have autism too. I think that Maher's boomerism needs to be solved. But he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him either.😂
Um.. no. Disability is different than health and well being. What Maher said was offensive and dangerous. There is a lot of nuance. Like the difference between being born with a disability versus acquiring one in life, two very different experiences and perspectives.
As a disabled person, yes to everything he said. We don't want sympathy, we don't want to be lied to, we definitely don't want it praised, we want it fixed, we just have to accept it usually can't.
You see, the media not all of it, but the majority of it, is down with the new world order, and or donald trumps Authoritarianism! FEMA CAMPs, for the poor! People better wake up!
Agreed! It is not nice or funny to walk through life with a disablity and feeling frustrated because everyone is aware of it but no one helps, they pander or even hinder your way. Some disabilities are life-long and incurable so we have to live with it but that doesn't mean that if given the chance to fix it we wouldn't jump at it if we could not havve to eal with that problem for the rest of our lives.
Exactly, and if a disabled person doesn’t want to be fixed, it’s their choice. No need for the media to scorn those that are making it possible to even be fixed in the first place.
New rule: agree to everything Bill Maher says like he isn't using you as a pawn.

The only thing that sucks about Mr. Beast is that they aren't 10,000 more of him.
Oh, that gaping mouth he always has in his thumbnail. That has to stop.
The funny thing is, there are more of him (as far as net worth goes) but they don't really do anything like he does. So the "Woke" will complain about the rich doing nothing to help then MrBeast does do something and they complain about that. The lesson learned? The "Woke" live to complain. They don't want actual solutions, just the means to complain and preferably get paid because they are complaining. Which of course shows their hypocrisy towards Capitalism, etc.
so we have 10,000 more punchable smiling face?
@@AbbieFabbieBoBabbie They call it "soy face" and I agree it has to stop. They do it because the UA-cam algorithm has somehow convinced people that soy face in the thumbnail means you should watch this video.

I lost my hearing in adulthood, and four years ago - just a few months before Covid - received a cochlear implant. It has changed my life. It has given me music back. It is the literal definition of a miracle, in my understanding. While I do believe that anyone who is disabled has the right to embrace the world with dignity in any way THEY see fit, I want to say to my surgeons and audiologists: THANK YOU FOR FIXING ME! Go Bill Go!!
Instead of putting buckets on people’s heads or messing with random strangers this guy is out there providing clean drinking water for children and curing disabilities. I’m totally fine with that and I hope more UA-camrs emulate him.
Seriously, what kind of people think they're the good guys by attacking him for doing these things? How warped does your moral compass have to be?
@paulw5039 Exactly.They don't have a moral compass, they will murder for their ideology without a second thought because it is their religion: Marxism, and their imaginary utopia is worth any means.
@@paulw5039Mr Beast ONLY does these things because his goal is to be the most famous and richest UA-cam person of all time. You can listen to him talk in ANY of the long form podcasts he's been on. He is NOT doing philanthropy out of the kindness of his heart. He is not doing it because he is a good person. He is a narcissist, and his ONLY goal is to exploit the YT algorithm for his own fame. The fact that it HAPPENS to be charity and kindness is because that is what WE, the people watching the videos and driving his popularity, want to see.

I would prefer a prankster that exploits the rich.
@MA-ts3xs thing is he never had to, he was doing just fine but wanted to help more so he turned his channel into a vehicle of change. It would be like a super profitable company like Pepsi just one day said fuck it share holders are getting 1/8th of their usual growth so we can donate 7/8ths to people and some how seeing it as bad.
He is doing good things and showing the proof of it, which is way more than most other charities do.
All other charities. No one does what Mr beast does
That would prove that those charities don’t do much if anything. That’s why
BLM has done alot for themselves
@SpaceRanger187 like what?
They didn't bring water to their own people. They didn't cure blindness in people or gift multiple good home to poor people... instead their organizations leader got caught stealing the funds.
BLM started out as a great cause that immediately like all other causes got turned into a radical home grown terrorist group.
African governments pocket all of the humanitarian aid
The reason why Mr. Beast gets so much done is simply because he just does it. And he does it with money out of his own pocket. No red-tape. No approval committee. No government interference.
Call me cynical....but whenever a celebrity gets involved with charity, it is NEVER something good.
Michael Jackson said he was a philanthropist. That he was bringing sick kids to Neverland, to show them a zoo.
We all know how that turned out....
Jared Fogle said he was a charity guy, too. That he had a non-profit to help kids lose weight.
We all know how that turned out.
Penn State got into this as well. They would bring low-income kids to football games. To show them a good time, they said. In reality, the assistant coach had been molesting them since the 1970s. The real coach knew about it and helped cover it up.
So I get very suspicious when I hear "non-profit" and "famous guy" in the same sentence.
I'm a paraplegic. My legs are broken and don't work. I already know I'm not worthless. I want to be fixed

Bill Maher: “Let me take this moment to go on the record,” he said. “If I am blind, deaf or paralyzed, don’t praise me - fix me!”
Dennis (I know you from your CareCure days), you're a longtime para, like me (40 years). There ain't been no fix available in all that time and there isn't one on the near or mid horizon. Given the fixed reality of our injuries, Bill's comments, which were not completely without merit, lacked a lot of important nuance. His was a highly entertaining but straw man argument. He'd make a good demagogue.
I do too, but it's a complete waste of time to worry about a cure that is likely decades away (if it ever happens) on a day-to-day basis.
Although the thing I'd most likely welcome with a cure is a dramatic reduction in the amount of regular mindless condescension from uneducated idiots, moreso than working legs in and of itself.
@@stephenfeldman8104And you make a great moron.
He has done more for people than many charities do when nobody expected him to do it. I worked for charities for years and I think charities should learn from him.
He's done more for people than many countries have done!! How much money do you think these highly paid musicians are giving back? He gives back and he doesn't have to give up any of it to the needy. The face organization I can't remember the exact name it was complaining about him coming in and drilling the wells well that's not even an asset that they can run short of those organizations could have bought a well drilling set up decades ago and could constantly be on the move drilling water wells, but really they just spend most of their money fundraising. Okay admittedly I just made that last part up but it's probably accurate.
My step brother worked for a charity for a short period. He quit after finding out who gets most of the money. It's the charities and their bosses who get big bonuses.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 Jesus isnt real, neither is god, stfu XD
He is far better than as charity. A charity is a business. When disaster strikes, they do much good in the beginning. The problem is they stay around providing free things so that the local farmers cannot sell their produce and animal products, stores can't sell clothing or toothpaste and so on. In the end you have a group left perpetually poor because they cannot compete with the charity. The charity doesn't care though, their CEO is making millions while patting himself on the back for conning people. Mr Beaste goes in and makes a real difference. He provides long term solutions that allows people to lift themselves out of poverty, to stay health so they can work and go to school and play and so on. He doesn't stick around destroying their economy, he helps them to build up their economies. Some of the wells he put in will water crops allowing the people to not only feed themselves, but to also sell produce improving their lives.
A lot of "charities" are just tax havens for activists. And as an activists, you cant ever complete your mission in what youre fight for or youll be out of a job. Think anti-racists really want racism to go away, then what will the do?
I suspect that many of the 'charities' that complain about people like Mr Beast are upset that he goes to the cause and denies them the ability to syphon off some of the money for their ' executives'. It's just a thought.
Very likely. And it is also very likely that they ALREADY got enough to do what he did and spent the money on "administrative fees" so they couldn't do anything.
Good point. I didn't think of that. I just thought they were resentful that he was effective while they weren't. Also, now they'll have to find some other facility to use as a fundraising appeal. That's why these agencies hate solving problems. There's no employment security in that. Wouldn't it be great if every charity was so effective they put themselves out of business?
EXACTLY!!!
They’re racist and anti white, all of you liberals seem to forget that even though Bill said it 5 times

Your body isn't equal fam, because we all get a different layout with pros and cons. No one has an equal body, not even twins! But you, your soul, your life, your experienced and lessons? Equal in value to everyone else. If you thought being equal means you get the same things, then someone neglected to teach you that the concept of equality is your right to exist and participate. "All men are created equal," refers to our start and baseline value, and does not say, "All men should receive equal punishments and rewards." (Also, of note, 'men' used to refer to all humans, as the word human was derogatory to refer to the species on par with animals... and back in that day it was culturally offensive to suggest we had anything in common with beasts when we had something as profitable as society rising our behavior above mere instinct. 'Men' back in the day included women and children, and cowards and heroes alike. We were all men, but what kind of man were you...?) It is not your right to receive benefit, because we all use our equality of opportunity differently.

Same here, except just nearly blind. My line is "If you want to see something funny, throw me a baseball."
It sucks, and if it could be fixed, (and I could afford it to be fixed), I would fix it.
I had cataract surgery in one eye. The other surgery was was canceled by the pandemic. Then I got shingles in the bad eye. They can't even make glasses where both eyes can see, since they're so different. I'm not blind, but my vision isn't great. I agree with you 100%.
I worked doing brain injury research at a rehab hospital. Kids getting hit with baseball bats in fights, people slipping in a tub, strokes, motorcycle accidents. Every one of these people, and especially their loved ones, would do anything to get help. Fortunately or unfortunately, the brain has an amazing ability to heal itself. But usually not completely. Sometimes the deficits are things you can adapt to. Sometimes not. When it involves language, the patients and families are often extremely frustrated. There's a deficit where the speaker talks using non-words, but thinks they're make sense. And they get upset when they ask for something and no one knows what they want. Talk is cheap. Helping people is often very hard.
same, and it gives me migraines. Id give anything to just have normal eyes, or just bad eyes within thevnormal spectrum.

He is actually shy and reserved, and really gives a damn about making this world a better place. I’ve also worked with the executive director of Beast Philanthropies, and he is one amazing, kind, giving human being. Both he and Jimmy are self-made and independently wealthy - and they choose to focus on those who need it most, making this world better.

True. He didn't steal his money from anyone. And he decides to use it how he sees fit which coincidentally helps thousands of people in need. I am tired of the virtue-signalling epidemic we're seeing these days, where passersby just complain how this or that guy are not perfect and should up their game, while they do absolutely nothing themselves.
How much did Jimmy pay you to say this? Because I've heard he travels frequently to Thailand to have young boys fart in his mouth.

I've watched Mr. Beast on UA-cam for several years and he's done so much good in the world. Those non profits and media jokes who criticize him clearly don't really care about fixing a problem, they're just triggered because he fixed something they've been faking for a long time. I'm sure he's not perfect, but at least he takes a portion of the money he earns and helps people. BTW, I'm rated 100% disabled by the VA and have been seeing doctors for years IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX ME. Haha, just had to throw that out there.
I feel yuh, I have two sleep disorders and going to a doctor and more of less fixing them was the best thing I ever did. Why the hell would I want to accept being tired and clumsy all the time and always being late and forgetting things?
i've broken my left leg twice, first time shattered, second time clean break, i can no longer run, no longer jump, and while I can walk, it's with MUCH pain - i got used to it
If you can fix it? FUCK YES! I hide it because I don't want to be seen as disabled, and i bring it up when it matterrs. Someone wants me to play football, i'll mention it - going to the movies? no need to bring it up
and i'm NOT saying it's wrong to be disabled, if people think that's the case, oh well, but I don't want to be to be disabled, so i live like i'm not and endure the pain - and people always bring up my bad leg which I don't want to think about, the pain already reminds me, so i don't mention it

Tell that to the mayors of Los Angeles San Francisco Chicago and New York. The Democrats and the left invented WOKE and worship it. That's why those cities have gone down the tubes.
Now if he would just stop equating "progressives" with the woke. They are not the same.
Shh, don’t tell Bill about Kris and her new pronouns
No, they don’t. Liberals want to tear down the orthodoxy and existent systems because they are convinced that they are the source of all evil. The term originally referred to being free of orthodoxy. It’s why “liberal” was the opposite of “conservative”. Conservatives want to conserve systems, liberals want to break them down.
What Maher is describing is not wokeness, as in empathy for those in a bad situation that is beyond their control. It is _ressentiment_ toward those in a position to help out. It is anti-liberalism in its purest form. Meaning, hatred towards people on the top whether they are of good will or not.
You know people are getting pathetic when you have people complaining about helping people.

We have the Fred Hollows Foundation. doctors go around the Pacific Islands doing cataract operations. The operation is quick and Doesn't need hightech operation theatres. The people who get their sight back are happy.
I think Bill's misses the point on the wells built in Africa. The complaint is about people doing and trying to do these these things for decades while being unable to get funds, and getting precious little recognition. Then Bill cherry-picks these few comments to attack them.
As a disabled person..I want to be fixed and be whole as I once was. Everyone I know with the issues I have also feels the same way. So much so, they are willing to buy medications and take them if it means they might be able to halt their disease even for a little while. Somehow wanting to be healthy is a superiority issue to some people who think we should be grateful for being disabled. It's all part of their victim complex
The so called "charities" that are complaining about Mr Beast actually helping people should be audited. They are probably paying their executives massive salaries but do virtually nothing to help the people they claim they are helping.

Was thinking same thing. They have been there years, millions of $ given and they can't compete with this guy.😒🙄🤔🤨
The worst charity is the politicians. They gather donations aka taxes and spend it irresponsibly. Money is not used effectively for the purpose it was set aside for. If only there was transparency in how the money is used and not siphon off to some slush fund for the greedy politicians.

Follow the money.
Most of these “charities” have a vested interest in keeping their stated cause around because as long as it’s there, they have a steady revenue stream.
You get it.
Oh come on it’s totally above board when a charity brings in 10 million in donations, spends 7 million on marketing, 2 million on exec salaries, and 950k on family members’ salaries.
This applies to groups the "Progressives" claim they care about. The minute one of them says something outside of the Progressive victim narrative they are written off as being bad people.
Still 50k more than you spent on a cause. Do it better and STFU
The people that are angry on Twitter aren't even running charities, they're doing nothing.
Actual charities are often really supportive because they know how difficult the work is and appreciate the help and Mr Beast frequently partners with local charities because those people have the required expertise to achieve long-lasting results.
Just goes to show that no matter what you do, even something good, someone will hate you for it.

Love this!

You are good looking, no homo! 🤣
Yes my cp brother. Love my life, also advancements.
In the CP club too and my condition is regressing and I don’t like it. Advancements are not ableism. Ableism is being in a restaurant on your way to the restroom and a stranger called a “warrior”. My legs work poorly and I struggle to walk. If this is where I stay, treat me like an adult who is capable of being a functioning human being not a child. Why can’t people just understand that distinction?
So my daughter has CP as well, but hers seems more mental than mainly physical. I mean she has the traits of that, how did you overcome it?
I don't usually agree with bill on politics, although I think he's very funny. However, here he is 100% correct. As someone who has lived with cerebral palsy all my life. I would kiss the feet of anyone who could cure me. I think people have confused not being ashamed of being disabled, which nobody should be. It is not your fault, with disability isn't really an impediment, which trust me it is.
So Mr. Beast is a ho for likes. And? A thousand people were cured of a curable ailment thanks to him. He deserves twice the followers and the likes.
I wouldn’t call myself disabled (at worst I’m mildly autistic) so this may come across as uninformed, but I think what needs to happen is that people on the left need to stop romanticizing disabilities. We shouldn’t mock or exclude people for having a disability, but we should help and encourage people to find ways to adapt (idk if this is the right word) to those disabilities. When my mother learned I was autistic, she immediately began to look for ways to treat it. I likely would have been much worse off if she hadn’t.
I don't even think this has much to do with disabled people. These journalists mostly want to create controversies that sanctimonious leftists can grab on to. Secondary to that, they want to destroy traditional society by erasing conventional categories. Disabled people just happen to be collateral damage here.
@@calebmacenka3132 - Autistic itself used to mean profoundly retarded. It is now used loosely to describe almost any atypical behavior.

These were people that *wanted to hear*. Whether it be music, or their kids laugh, or simply if they were stepping in front of a honking vehicle, they have that right. So frustrating.
As a disabled person, Mister Beast is the only one actually trying to help us for free. In my city we have multiple organizations that pay their employees very well but don't offer much for the disabled; those parking lots have lots of Porsche, Benz, BMW and Cadillacs yet only offer 1 day a week with a waiting list to get assistance with paperwork.
Could you mention the names of the organizations?
@user-tn8uu2cu8g If I or anyone else followed after Islam, then we would be facing God's wrath. "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8-9). The teachings of Islam are very different from those of Jesus and the apostles.
The apostles' teachings have been proven to be from God. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?" (Hebrews 2:3-4). No such support from God is found for Muhammad's teachings.
Jesus and the apostles' teachings match the teachings and prophecies of the Old Testament. "And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' - when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him" (Deuteronomy 18:21-22). Muhammad's teachings contradict the teachings of the Old and New Testament in many places.
Therefore, by God's accepted Word, Muhammad fails the test of a prophet.
"Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ" (Jude 3-4).
Where is this ?
Same everywhere in the world. I worked for a charity in the Philippines for about two weeks that had a compound that could easily hold 250 orphaned or kids in need. They had about 20 kids, while advertising that they were helping 100+ daily. The people who worked there would have a literal feast, costing probably about 5-6k php a day or around 100-120 USD for 5-7 people depending on the day. Now this might not sound extravagant in other nations, 100 bucks for 5-7 people is a pretty good deal, but its not in the Philippines, and it especially isn't when you are all in designer clothes and wearing nice watches and your "housing facility' has about 20 kids who I suspected were actually just relatives of some of the people who worked there.

As someone who had two cataract surgeries last year that restored my crappy vision, I can say I was overjoyed with the results. Mr. Beast, well done!

Not overjoyed. if the people who got surgeries couldn't pay for a procedue that is usually covered by insurance, they arent going to continue aftercare that is necessary to monitor eye health for potential complications. is he going to pay for that too? this kind of surgery isn't as simple as it is presented.

It’s so telling, it was never about helping people, just the attention.

And the money. Charities have permanent staff typically.
Have you seen the full statement? I think that one was taken out of context cause I saw one similar to this and was actually praising him. Some yahoo writer just chose to leave some parts out to create controversy.

This should be a wake up call to everyone that “charities” are a waste of time and money.

how many of the people who had cataract surgery sponsred by jimmy donaldson had complications? is he going to pay for their aftercare and long-term issues that result? helping wrong is not looking deep enough into the issues? maybe labeling it wrong (to get more clicks) is more appropriate. cataract surgery is NOT a cure for blindness.
@@user-gi8kg2yf1j If you read the comment again, they did not say "we aren't doing as much" or criticized people who give in other ways.

@@user-gi8kg2yf1j he's blessed with abundance so yes he's doing more than most it's just facts for what he's physically capable of financially. It doesn't mean others don't do their part too but we can't affect as many so quickly it's just impossible.
Taylor Lorenz, the Washington Post writer Bill refers to, is the definition of a woke reporter and just a terrible person. Besides her bad takes on Mr. Beast, she also doxxed people on TikTok and tried to get them fired because she disagreed with their views.

These people are doing nothing more than exposing their own incompetence.
They are just afraid they will lose their turf. Pretty much all institutional charities have a perverse incentive to ensure whatever it is they are nominally there to solve actually persists forever so that sweet donor cash can then go to executive travel packages, fancy dinners and speaker fees. Mrbeast just said let's cut out the middle man and the charities and people like hasan "3M dollars mansion in california" piker are seething.
Not everyone can be so lucky. His abilities have more to do with timing, luck, and wealth. So what you are saying is not relevant.

What I love most about Mr. Beast is that he doesn’t just donate to some organization, so that organizations’ leadership can then use the bulk of that money to fly business class, have lavish meals, throw ridiculous soirées, etc. Nope, he identifies an area of need and then makes a tangible difference with minimal spillover.

+ @mfamily5986 And there, my friend, is the crux of the problem with him. His actions DENY them those perks, etc. But They can't use those words, so it is masqueraded behind woke identity jargon.

No he creates his own organization so that he can use the bulk of the money on himself. You understand that he's profited off everything, therefore he's never really donated by definition. He also has a private jet, which negates your entire point.

Back in the 1960s my uncles neighbor gave United Way $100 and designated the money to go to an elderly couple at Christmas. Couple months later the neighbor asked the couple how their Christmas was. The old man said good, I even got $20 from United Way. The neighbor was pissed. He went back to the charity and asked what they did with the other $80. They said that was for overhead. I never give to charities
They're only required to donate 10%. If they're famous, they can get away with 1%. Check out the numbers from the Clinton foundation. They spent more money on their daughters wedding than they ever gave away.
straight up robbery! disgusting.
I used to live in London and there when you buy your stuff at the supermarket, they ask you if you want to donate £1 to whatever charity, I used to say yes, until I found out they actually use our money to make their corporate donations, i.e. the more we give, the less they have to. So from then on I started donating food.
I also volunteered for a few charities and the ones for children were blatantly stealing, they were using tricks like giving us, the volunteers, cameras to shoot the event and then collecting and returning the cameras, although in the documents it said that instead of pay we will keep the cameras. Another thing, we were organising games for kids, and they "paid" for the venue, when we arrived it was a free playground, it started raining and thankfully one of the parents had connections with a nearby school so we were allowed to continue with the games in their gym. And don't get me started on the catering that was "late", supposedly the company was owned by someone on the charity's board, I'm sure they were paid, but the kids only got whatever sandwich their parents could get at the local store and we each got a sandwich from a huge cardboard box at the charity's office. It was a freaking disgrace.

I had a close friend who was deaf and was an active member and volunteer in the deaf/hearing impaired community. When he married a woman who had normal hearing they judged him harshly. And then, when he got cochlear implants and could hear again, they no longer wanted his help within their community. They were vicious to him and his wife.

I never understood the deaf community and their obsession with remaining deaf. Life is objectively easier and tbh safer if you can hear. I get being deaf becomes a big part of someone's identity but don't shun someone because they wanna hear.

Then the other guy suggested that all the guests pay the bill, which since the guests were two thirds my friend’s household meant that they were paying for 2/3s of five people’s incredibly expensive meals. My friend was so pissed at the whole situation particularly since they hadn’t chosen the restaurant, the person who invited them there made way more money than them and knew it and it wasn’t their idea to pay for it yet just because they went out to this place they ended up having to spend thousands of dollars all the sudden based on some random dude’s idea

Not only does MrBeast reinvest "some" of the money he makes from his channel into doing good, he invests a HUGE portion of it in helping people, it's literally all he does. He's given away something like 30 million pounds of food as well. He has said over and over that he plans to do this and as much as he can for as long as he can until he dies or goes out of business and he also intends to spend ALL of his money on helping people before he dies, which God willing will not be for a very long time as he's so young. He turned down a 1 billion dollar offer for his channel. And, if you ever watch anyone interview him you can totally tell he's just a good midwestern kid who blew up and was rewarded for his incredible work ethic and his pure soul. His name is Jimmy Donaldson and he's a wonderful human being. Screw these people, they don't care about their victims or the truth, they just care about themselves and the virtue points they get for projecting their insane words towards the right audience. It's absolutely insane and decent people need to stand up against these narcissistic, self absorbed sociopaths.
Mrbeast is pretty much for real all that sbf claimed he was and more.
He said it on someone else's video that his priority is making good videos and helping people. He loses money on most of his videos.
NGL, if someone bought his channel for $1 billion, that would be a terrible deal for both parties. You can't just buy a channel and expect the audience to stay. 200 million people have subscribed to Mr. Beast for Mr. Beast, if it was bought by someone else and the content changed... most people would not be watching the new content.
How much can you spend? Not in stupid, wasteful things. You cannot take it with you. Doing good in visible ways CAN give you a high. It isn't his money and he is making more. So, why not? He KNOWS people are going to whine about it. And he is laughing at them.
He's not from the Midwest though, he's from North Carolina
This was an amazing segment.
I've never been a big fan. But I appreciate that he isn't afraid to point out the absolute absurdity of today's extreme tribal politics, on both sides.
I'm just glad I finally got to see advertising money put to good use by someone. I've watched millions and millions (insane amounts) being spent on advertising for decades, and finally someone (Mr Beast) came up with a way to use that money to actually make a difference to other peoples lives. He produces the content, ads run alonside it, he spends his ad take on good stuff. It's literally the perfect business model, dependant only on the wider public wanting to see good content. Brilliant.
Ya, I know of him, seen shorts if him from interviews, I know what he does but never seen a full vid. Most yt cells buy a ferrari & watches
most of the money comes from children, more specifically, their struggling paycheck to paycheck parents. Not advertising revenue. Mr Beast sells merch. To kids. Mostly poor kids. And takes some of that money to shoot more videos of people reacting to how generous he is, with money he collected from children. Which he then uses to grow his audience and sell advertising.
Because Mr Beast is a corporate brand. Not a swell guy who just likes giving people all his hard earned wealth because they could use it more than him. His business model is "shoot reaction video of people getting free stuff", "sell children who watch it and think he's the coolest rich guy ever merch", repeat.
So you ain't got nothing at all to be glad about. Reality is exactly the opposite of something you should be proud of.
To say, "no," or to reject, criticize, and belittle is thought of as an indication of strength and independence. To say, "yes," to except, compliment, and praise is thought of as an indication of weakness and dependence. There may also be control issues involved...
Couldn't agree more 👏 Tf with people? Oh no, you helped an old lady with her bags! That's ageism! Oh no, you hold the door for a random person. Who do you think you are? How dare you take away their right to get hit by a door! Smh 🙄 These people are crazy. You were spot on Bill. Thank you.
at this point, bill is just a cranky old white guy seeking out reasons to rage at the world. it's a proxy for his own emotionally unfulfilling life.
@holocene2164
You seem very triggered by someone who has a different point of view then you do. Mr Beast did what he did for the money. I don’t agree with Rush Limbaugh a lot, but he was right when he said that people always do things for money, if someone tells you that it’s not the money, believe me, it’s the money.
That door comment sent me. 🤣💀 Also fully agree with you. I’m no Mr. Beast fan and haven’t seen a single one of his videos, but regardless of someone’s reasons for doing something good, if they did something good, then that’s all that should matter. The world desperately needs more do-gooders. People who don’t like him don’t need to watch, just as I don’t.
@@giantsr1eva I can only imagine how truly disgusting of a human you would have to be to genuinely believe that no person could be motivated by kindness, and that only greed could explain beasts choices.
You must be a real pos to be so confidant about that.
MrBeast already had more money than he can spend when he started the charity. a *charity* that does not generate any personal revenue. $0 dollars of income.
@@giantsr1eva Try making dramatic life-changing actions for multiple others without money.
You know how this is true charity? He never centers the videos about himself but instead the issue at hand. Of course he'll take photos with people after helping, but will spend the entire video highlighting the stories of those impacted.
Imagine helping people to double their population if they can´t even build a well.
@@PROVOCATEURSKNew challenge just dropped: Try living without using modern industrial complexes that are only found in the USA and other highly developed countries.
That means no water, no roads, no electricity, no grocery stores, etc. If you didn't build it yourself you aren't allowed to use it.
Lets see how long you last.
Dear Sir. Best monologue ever. I won't agree with you on a lot of things but you hit the nail on the head with this one.
Aged like milk.
Mr. Beast does so much good. Think of all the crap most young people pump out on UA-cam and this guy is buying people groceries, fixing eye sight, and a whole lot more. Truly helping people and some media outlets have the audacity to attack this guy. It's completely absurd
he's not helping anyone. The community is. He's just built a business model around transferring money from poor people in column A to poor people in column B. He makes nothing. He does nothing. He brings no value whatever to anything. That all comes from the community. This is what all you kids aren't old enough, or mature enough to see. All that money comes from other people, mostly kids and their struggling moms. Jimmy isn't a philanthropist.
He created a business model that depends on convincing children and the vulnerable to give him money then transferring some of it to his friends, then family and neighbors, then random people around the world. He runs a for-profit corporation. Not a charity. And his business model creates no products. No service is provided. No benefit whatsoever to anyone at all that isn't providing him with ads to roll, merchandise to retail, or reactions to showcase.
He's a digital retailer selling people commercial guilt relief. It's a fun idea, but he's sacrificing nothing to help others. His business model requires it and businesses are for making money.
There's a whole mess of scumbaggery and social filth that comes along with people of means collecting tithes from the poor to "sacrifice" those tithes to other poor people while collecting personal gains. Jimmy is basically a televangelist and his religion of choice just happens to be charity based. He's not pretending to heal with the word of the lord, he's pretending to sacrifice wealth to heal his company's revenue model.
He does it for the money 1st and out of kindness 2nd is all people said lol. I think that's a plausible assessment but too many fanboys wanna deny that likely reality. Why do it for free?
@@tdestroyer4780who gives a fuck? He's taking UA-cam/advertisers money and actually giving back to people with it. This shouldn't be a controversy. (Not saying you're making it one).
@@tdestroyer4780 that’s not all people said/say though. Even if he does do it for money first… what does he use the money for exactly? The second thing you mentioned. A lot people that get that much money don’t use it to help and so when people do, they should be at least applauded for rather than judged
Thank you Bill for participating in the ice bucket challenge! My mom died of ALS. She had a beautiful singing voice and loved to dance with my dad. She lost all of that to that horrible disease, but she never lost hope. She fought hard and lived twice as long as expected and I guarantee, she and we wish it could’ve been longer. The world has truly turned upside down. But maybe if we continue to be kind and suffer a little icy water to help someone else, we can turn it upright again. Thank you also for your humor and your acute powers of observation!
My condolences
Nobody was talking about ALS before that campaign. Even if you didn't donate, people who did the challenge brought the disease into the spotlight for someone who eventually did donate.
Probably favorite Bill Maher video! I heard the Mr Beast story on NPR and they were mostly criticizing him for the blindness video. I couldn't believe it

The fact that it becomes racial, and that they continue to demonize him for doing, quite literally, the most selfless things a human can do, will never not be f*cking INSANE.
@user-tn8uu2cu8g Brother... spamming in the comments will only turn people away from Allah.
This could not have been said any better. Two of my coworkers are confined to wheelchairs, and both have chronic pain. One was born ambulatory, the other was not. Just ask them how much they enjoy their disabilities. Believe me when I say they would give ANYTHING to be ambulatory and free of pain, and they could not possibly care less who it might offend should they become so lucky one day.
The whole idea of "curing" disability can pretty controversial, depending on the disability. For example, when cochlear implants first came out, the deaf community saw it as an erasure of their subculture, but nowadays this mentality is only limited to older deaf people with younger deaf people having no issue with it. Then there's people with autism, whose entire personality and life experience is shaped by being neurodivergent and they see the idea of purging autism from society as an attack on who they are as a person. Should people who want to be "cured" of their disability be shamed? Of course not. But at the same time, we really shouldn’t be surprised when a person who has been afflicted with a disability their whole life embraces it as part of their identity, which is more common than you might think. Whether people want to stop being disabled or keep being disabled should be left up to them, because it's no one else's business other than their own.
I don't align with Bill Maher politically(most of the time), but his common sense rule has been pretty spot on, and I find myself in agreeance. I didn't even know much about and have never watched Mr. Beast, but thanks to Bill, I just subscribed.
The really important thing for many charities is that, under normal circumstances, they are working to make themselves redundant. They should be working to solve the problem and make the need for the charity disappear. But they don't do that. They're bureaucracies and sink holes of funding. They know that if anything is actually done to solve the problem, they'll lose their funding. Or they'll have to pivot to something else. Stonewall is a good example. Gay rights were largely won, so their job was also basically done. So they pivoted to the anti-gay activism of gender ideology and juvenile medical mutilation, and tricking pubescent kids into thinking that the discomfort of puberty means they're "trans."
