0:00.0 | Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. I got a fantastic one for you today. |
0:05.0 | Friendly reminder before we get into it, if you want to snag something from our super secret dropover at beautifulbastor.com this week, go to the site and get what you want while you can because it's going to be done to be done. |
0:13.0 | But that said, buckle up, hit that like button and let's just jump into it. Starting with this controversy in massive growing backlash against YouTuber and entrepreneur Mr. Bees following him putting out a video where he |
0:22.9 | donated 20,000 pairs of shoes to kids in South Africa. With Jimmy at one point in the |
0:26.5 | video even saying these were their first ever pair of shoes. And while many people's |
0:29.5 | reaction to this was wow, stuff like this, it restores my faith and humanity. We're seeing |
0:32.8 | good being done in the world. You also had a big growing group of people questioning the philanthropy behind all this, saying things like this isn't really charity, saying he's using needy people as props to make |
0:41.2 | himself look like the good guy. Tweet's going viral saying, let me know when y'all catch up and |
0:44.7 | realize how weird this motherfucker is. But in general, those criticizing Mr. Beas and the content, |
0:49.1 | right, they were talking about the nature and incentives of charity content. With a number of those people arguing, there are plenty of wealthy people who do public acts |
0:54.8 | of service, but, quote, don't frame that work as weird voyeuristic stunts. |
0:58.2 | And others adding, so weird, the 20,000 children need to rely on a rich white man from the |
1:01.5 | West to have their basic needs met and get their faces plastered on the internet so he can |
1:04.8 | earn clout. |
1:05.3 | But to that, you had others who support the content saying, no, he's making this content not only to inspire others to do the same, |
1:11.4 | but also by making that content, he's able to foot the bill. With Mr. Beast even responding to one |
1:15.6 | of his critics saying, no, hey, you probably just haven't seen this channel, but actually it is a |
1:19.2 | charity. And I obviously don't profit from it. 100% of all revenue from Beast philanthropy goes |
1:22.9 | towards running my food banks and helping ease human suffering. And since inception, I've personally put in millions into beast's philanthropy. That's the whole point. Make content around helping people to |
1:30.9 | generate more money to help more people. Though with that, you still have people questioning Mr. |
1:34.0 | Beast's intent, which is really a hard argument to have because you can never really see |
1:37.6 | inside of someone's heart inside of someone's soul. And there, you actually had critics going back to |
