Yeah I want to know as well. His content isn't exactly my cup of tea and can feel dystopia, but my dude flies around the world giving away free surgery to people and shit, and he promotes charities and foundations and actually moves people to donate to them. His thumbnails are creepy as shit, and his content feels like it was made to be cut up into a bunch of 6 second tiktok videos, but I don't really see a dark side here.

I'm no Mr beast fan, but the dystopia you feel isn't his fault. It's the fault of our society. It's the fact that some people have to rely on a clickbait youtubers generosity to have vision surgery, instead of it being freely available. It's the fact that inequality is so rampant and ever growing due to our infinite capacity for greed.
