"Do you think he could actually get a law changed and help more people than he already did?"
The most popular YT video creator could probably start a fairly large lobbying effort although yes, the multi-trillion dollar US for-profit health insurance industry could probably do better.
"Why wouldn't a "Mr Beast goes to Washington" style video get as many views as his direct support videos got?"
It might, there's only one way to know.
- junon 3y agoTeam Trees and Team Seas weren't enough? Good lord, y'all are just never satisfied with charity work. "Mr Beast literally cured blindness for a thousand people and gave them a bunch of money, no strings attached." "Yeah but he did it for views!" So what?! He markedly improved 1000 peoples' lives in the process. What have YOU done today? Get over yourselves.
- throwaway2990 3y agoNot only did he improve 1000 lives. He bought awareness to 100s of 1000s of people who didn’t know it’s relatively affordable or can be cured for some.
- plewd 3y ago> What have YOU done today? None of us are in his position to make as much change though. Are we not allowed to criticize someone that has far more power than us for not using it to its full potential?
- sokoloff 3y agoYou can criticize anyone for anything you want. Many people will ignore you or think you're a crank when you criticize someone for restoring the sight of 1000 poor people because it wasn't "to its full potential".
- bobsmooth 3y agoThe stereotypical HN user is a highly paid SW engineer. Have you donated to charity lately?
- junon 3y agoNo. That's such an absurd take that I don't even know where to begin.
