mr beast discovers "it's bad on purpose to make you click"
just sucks that it's happening specifically with his philanthropic efforts

RT @Dexerto
In his latest video, @MrBeast gave 20,000 kids in South Africa their first pair of shoes
i wonder if this is shortsighted and will ultimately lead to his downfall / the public losing interest in him
/ i wonder if the metrics they're using are able to differentiate between sentiment and engagement

not to be that guy but maybe if every human on earth (including me) didn't QT and have their own take about the curing blindness video this wouldn't be happening
