[QUOTE="Tropical Wilds, post: 77545438, member: 250629"] Nobody is saying to keep the charity to themselves, only that it’s not so much charity when you give $10, monetize the act of you doing the charitable act, make $100, then pocket the $100. That makes it less charity and more business investment, or more like an employer and independent contractor business arrangement. No different than if I was going to work ad a contractor, being paid by my employer $100 a day to work, generating $1,000 worth of business for my boss during my day, and the boss taking home the $1,000. I think Mr Beast just rebranded business acumen and capitalism to make people think that because he donates money sometimes, what he does is altruistic, and it’s kind of glossed over that the video where he donates the money generates more than he actually donated, and he hangs on to that for himself, pushing himself on track to be the first content creator billionaire. Does it make him a bad person? No. Does it make the good things he does bad? No. It just means that holding him up as an example of altruism and charity is faulty. He’s a game show host. He’s as charitable as Oprah was when she handed out the cars to people. A nice act, something life changing for some, but ultimately she made more money off of the act through publicity and branding than she did giving everybody a car. So not altruistic. She cashed more checks than she wrote by doing that. [/QUOTE]
