X appears to be juicing MrBeast’s views to woo the YouTuber to the platform, pushing video upload into users’ feeds as an unlabeled ad::undefined

If MrBeast leaves YouTube I will consider that a win. I am so tired of see his gaping jaw open on my front page for his stupid stunts and his stupid candybars.

HE'LL BE BACK, THEY ALWAYS COME BACK

He has done more for charity and general philanthropy than you ever will.

Self-promotion is not charity. And neither is putty porn. It's just the cost of doing business when you're your own brand. And philanthropy is a scam promoted by the rich to help justify their wealth hoarding.

All of it ultimately ends up personally furthering the rich person's personal goals. It's all just a way of saying that the rich deserve to determine what society goals should be, and how society should use its limited resources.

It's taking control away from the masses, and keeping it in the hands of those with money.
