Current Events > MrBeast gets criticism for building wells in Africa

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whining about being "cancelled" when all you are getting is some criticism from a small number of people is getting tiresome.

I dont need to know the data.

YOU'RE the one levying the criticism. So where's the proof that this is what happened? Because "I don't trust rich people to do things right" ain't it.

You invented a scenario to criticize him for, with no backing evidence, and justified it with am emotional bias. Amd then asked why nobody else is talking about it.

Do you have even a sliver of data for what youre suggesting? Youd think that if he built 100 wells in places that werent needed, hed be getting criticized for that and not for.. making the government look bad

youre just making shit up

My impression is more that he predicted the kind of back lash he's getting, cause it's predictable, and isn't bothered by it. Going by the text in the OP alone, anyway.

Because no one would dare spend money for good publicity. I can't imagine living my life simping for a youtuber.

No one's disputing that he's leveraging it for publicity. He's a CONTENT CREATOR. Publicity is where the money for the operation comes from. Wothout publicity, there ARE no wells.

Andyou're not talking about publicity. You're saying he built wells that that won't help anyone, because he didn't make sure the communities actually needed them.

Prove it.

Imagine hating a Youtuber because he payed for 100 wells to be made in needed communities.
Like I can't even understand why hate him for it so bad you have to make up scenarios in your head for why it's bad.

I never said I hated him and frankly it's a shame that more people can't think critically and must resort into an "us vs them"

You're not thinking critically you're just despratly trying to find a reason to hate him.

I'm saying that despite good intentions, the areas that wells were built may not have necessarily been the areas that needed wells built. Considering the goal of building the wells was for a video, his actions were publicity first and not results.

But I know it's a crime to dare question a youtuber about their actions and that I should just trust that everything done by youtubers is done out of their kindness of their heart.

the areas that wells were built may not have necessarily been the areas that needed wells built.

I personally think the dude is barely human and driven entirely by the algorithm but at least he's pointing it at good things.

I genuinely wonder what dark skeletons the man has in his closet though. Anyone who pushes such a wholesome do-gooder image I'm inherently skeptical of.

But like I said, at least he's visibly doing good things.

I think you've got his darkness. His obsession with the algorithm. If Youtube shut down I honestly think it would break him.

So he's basically Musk mixed with Oprah.

Nobody is saying it was purely out of the kindness of his heart.

We're saying that you have no proof that this:

happened.

Because you don't

By your logic, I may as well claim he dragged Kenyan officials out of their houses and shot them in order to get clearance to build the wells. After all, rich people only care about publicity, and they were getting in the way, right?

Nah he does good things.

Because the logistics of shooting a video about building wells in Africa may have resulted in him passing over areas that actually needed the wells built for the sake of good video footage is different than implying he went murdering people.

You should really chill out, because no matter how much you defend MrBeast he's not suddenly going to show up at your house and be your friend.

Ah so there are shittier locations therefore he shouldnt help anyone cause there is someone who needs more help defense!

Building wells in areas that don't need well built, isn't being helpful. Which is what I'm bringing up.

But of course reading is hard.

Dude, I don't care about Mr Beast. I've never watched a single one of his videos.

That doesn't change the fact you invented a scenario, with no evidence, decided it was probably true, and have used it as "criticism."

If you want to nail him for something, nail him for making poor people dance for our amusement in his weird homemade Squid Game, in a move that completely missed the point of the show it was aping. You don't need to invent weird "well, this might have happened" nonsense to do it.

His choice of name is deliberate mr "beast" = mr "mark of the beast"
He is doing evil work and profiting from the misery of the impoverished and suffering. One day he will mess up and be exposed, until then he will continue to live a luxury lifestyle of the ultra rich by exploiting everyone beneath him.

I've seen content creators create fake videos about helping the homeless, when it ends up being their friends dressed up as homeless people. It's not as farfetch as you seem to be that people might fake videos including building wells in Africa for clout.

I'm sorry that I care more about these wells actually helping people rather than it being just being a fake video for money.

Ok. So some people have done that.

Plenty of people do LOTS of terrible things. It doesn't mean everybody necessarily does, or that every scenario in which a person does something is necessarily done in a bad way for a bad reason.

Prove that that happened here. Because now you may ad well be saying that AOC probably instigated an insurrection at the capital and should be impeached and chargedfor it. After all, other politicianshave done it, so why should we give her the benefit of the doubt?

You know when youre arguing with somebody online and theyre clearly ignoring the thing that makes their argument super dumb

its okay to just stop arguing with them.

From one fake outrage to the next...

Are we sure the wells even have water in them and arent just filled with farts? Has anybody checked?

Sometimes its fun to make them act like fools.

I'm not saying about AOC am I? It's crazy that we can't stick to questioning the actions of MrBeast and must create your own Strawman argument about something else completely.

Why cant you provide any kind of proof for your claims? Why are you just trying to insult people instead every time somebody asks for evidence of the claims you are making?

Why do you think you are infallible, and everybody else must be simps?

Why not? Politicians like power, and like publicity. We've seen them do stuff like that before. By your logic, we MUST assume AOC did that.
