Luckily the intellectual saints on Twitter are here to explain why good things are actually evil and nothing positive is real.&quot;Charlie@MoistCr1TiKaLMr Beast helped more people?

Luckily the intellectual saints on Twitter are here to explain why good things are actually evil and nothing positive is realWhy are some people like MoistCr1TiKaL defending MrBeast? The cause of backlash exploredJimmy &quot;MrBeast&quot; Donaldson is perhaps one of the most renowned content creators of our time, with over 135 million subscribers on his main YouTuber channel at the time of writing. His viral videos can be divided into a few categories, with the donation and philanthropic content making up a huge chunk.It is this genre of content that has drawn the ire of some people online who have criticized Donaldson for profiting off of underprivileged people. However, people like MoistCr1TiKaL have defended the YouTuber, saying his charitable work is fundamentally good and that he does not deserve criticism. Let's take a look at the discourse between these two groups.Points for and against MrBeast: Valid issues or misguided anger?Bootystar Galactica@Bootystar_G@MoistCr1TiKaL We covered this w/ the eye surgery thing Charlie, you understood it in that video; Mr. Beast even said he understood itPeople aren't mad at Mr. Beast, they're mad bc content like this shifts the focus away from &quot;We need systemic change&quot; and toward &quot;more benevolent rich people!&quot;80728@MoistCr1TiKaL We covered this w/ the eye surgery thing Charlie, you understood it in that video; Mr. Beast even said he understood itPeople aren't mad at Mr. Beast, they're mad bc content like this shifts the focus away from &quot;We need systemic change&quot; and toward &quot;more benevolent rich people!&quot;The above tweet by @Bootystar_G, which was a direct reply to MoistCr1TiKaL's tweet, gives quite a good idea of why certain people are criticizing Jimmy. The main reason certain progressive voices have talked negatively about the content Donaldson puts out, such as HasanAbi saying how angry it feels to watch him pay for 100 people's cataract surgery, is because of how it can be used to exploit the underprivileged masses.The tweet sums up the &quot;hate&quot; these videos have received quite well, saying:'People aren't mad at Mr. Beast, they're mad bc content like this shifts the focus away from &quot;We need systemic change&quot; and toward &quot;more benevolent rich people!&quot;'Recently, another popular YouTuber, Ludwig Ahgren, has also given his take on the controversy, and in his opinion, the anger and criticism towards the videos seem to be misdirected and &quot;backward.&quot;Like MoistCr1TiKaL, Ludwig too seemed to think that MrBeast should not bear the brunt of the backlash because while the system of capitalism results in the oppression and marginalization of the underprivileged classes, the YouTuber does not have the onus to fix it. &quot;I think when you see somebody who is working with this broken system and getting views off this broken system, and making money and doing charity in the ways that the broken system allows you do to it, it's like, 'Oh, well. Hey! I'm mad at MrBeast for being a part of this system!' But that's not... I feel, like, it's misguided. Because at the end of the day, all the things he's doing are good things.&quot;Twitter reactions to MoistCr1TiKaL's tweetHere are some general replies to the tweet:Sharp🦈@Sharpp@MoistCr1TiKaL He should’ve made an epic video burning all the shoes in the desert5@MoistCr1TiKaL He should’ve made an epic video burning all the shoes in the desertAyo Main@ayomainreal@methodJakei @MoistCr1TiKaL I know, right?

He also claimed that he did not make a penny from the Beast Burger sales, instead reinvesting the money in ads to keep restaurants afloat during the pandemic.
