Also, off-topic but I despise this thumbnail for many reasons.

    I’m super torn over MrBeast’s charity. On one hand, he’s objectively doing a good thing but on the other hand, he’s such a soulless clout chaser and is clearly just doing this for brownie points that I can’t accept it.

    • Think of it this way: Although it’s great that a thousand people are able to finally listen, millions of people are still out there without funds to be able to regain their hearing. With the wealth MrBreast has, he could easily pull a Fidel Castro (or at the very least, get into politics and fund leftist politicians); but he doesn’t, and instead prefers to remain as being the court jester of Capitalism with his “wao i did a good deed today, praise me”-tier videos.

      Although it was originally based of him to release a video of him taking action against transphobes, the fact that he deleted the video soon after even a modicum of “bAcKLaSh” came to him from it just goes to show what his beliefs really are. He’s not someone who wants to do good in the world for the sake of goodness or helping others as he’s claiming to do. He’s doing all this for attention. A lot of the stuff before he went down his “philanthropic” route were attention-grabby anyway.

      10 hours of bible reading? 10 hours of counting numbers?

      I mean it’s a great feat that he has the patience and perseverance to do all this for 10 hours, but tell me he wasn’t doing this to gain some kind of large viewership.

    I used to hate big red circles and arrows in thumbnails as a form of clickbait, but now that youtubers have found out that the uncanny valley is the best way to get the largest amount of clicks on their videos, I can say I even miss it.
