Is he that bad? Like maybe it is a whole "look how good I am" type schtick, but his videos make views, the views make money and at least a portion of that goes towards making people's lives significantly better. Some people would be fine with appearing in a video in order to get help. It's not even in an undignified manner either.

I think there are more people to be hating on in this world apart from Mr Beast.

I don't even watch his content, I just don't get the hate when there's worse things going on.

He worked with Jake Paul to sell awful quality overpriced food to children so yeah he’s a pretty terrible individual

On the other hand, plenty of companies do that every day without doing any charity in return. I wouldn't say he's the biggest priority in the fight against evil yet.
