A lot of Mr Beast's "philanthropy" is ineffective and therefore worthless. He's giving away fish, not teaching people how to fish. I.e., giving away money at random does not bring about systemic change.

- johnnyanmac 3y agoHere's the issue: His videos are obvious extremely carefully framed. He does not have any dead air in them. They are exactly how long they need to be to maximize the algorithm, and not a second more. Teaching is boring, a long process, and will lose eyeballs. He may very well be giving the people fishing rods behind the scenes after he's done shooting, or simply plain old money to the town for whatever they need. But that will never show up in the video. he getting the money shots as he throws fishes to the masses and seeing them tear up.
