People shit on Mr Beast for flaunting his riches with charity.
Like I get it but there is a subtle difference.
Obnoxious yters throwing dollars at homeless people and filming it is just spectacle and you can tell they don't actually care about the people they're giving money to.
Versus Beast who has shown numerous times that he does actually give a shit. He's literally just your average good Samaritan who just happens to be good at making a shit ton of money by spending a shit ton of money.
I don't know a whole lot about him but I have gathered that much.

There's probably something fucky about him but that ain't it and I doubt it would outweigh all that good stuff.

Leahy's dictum: Thou shalt not footgun theyself.

Do not criticize rich people for giving their money away. No matter the intention you (believe to) perceive. Rich people follow incentive gradients, they like not being criticized. So if you criticize them giving away their money they will stop.

(differential levels of praise dependent on motivation are still good)
