He does legitimately put everything back into his garbage or into charity though. Dude still just live in a normal house in Greenville NC, and does a lot for the area.

He is literally a billionaire. The fact that he is the kind of shitty billionaire who chooses not to live like one doesn't improve that. His "charity" is performative garbage that hurts more than helps because of the way it makes people complacent and redirects attention from actually worthwhile efforts to stuff that makes mr beast richer.

Definitely not defending him, he just has a major cult of personality in his direct area that I see since I live in the state. Clearly he's done enough to make people in that area actually kinda like him.

The big problem is that he's able to garner support doing essentially selfish bullshit.

That wasn't aimed at you specifically, some of the comments on this post are really, really concerning with the amount of slack they're giving a billionaire who got his wealth from "doing charity"
