In the KnowIn the Know

MrBeast's Extravagantly Charitable Videos Have Been Called 'Stunt Philanthropy.' Is That a Bad Thing?

MrBeast, the most popular YouTuber in the world with 20 million subscribers, shared a video on Nov. 4 in which he says he built 100 wells across the continent of Africa. It has drawn a mix of responses. Some say that his video is a great example of generosity in the YouTube age and that he uses his platform to benefit those in need. Others see it as a ploy to get views — and ad revenue — and say that its “exploitative” nature negates his charitable acts.
