Not the person you are replying to, but here is my view of this.

From all I've seen and know about MrBeast, he is an upstanding guy doing great things that help others. I absolutely respect that and believe it is worth of praise.

However, I find the content itself to be absolutely not my cup of tea. Not in a sense that i find it bad or distasteful. There are tons of other "YT philanthropy" influencers that make content that feels either distasteful or exploitative (even if it might not actually be), but his content isn't that. I just struggle to find it interesting enough to watch. I tried a few times, but it simply cannot hold my attention at all.

This isn't MrBeast's fault, as he clearly has a massive audience that enjoys watching his content. It just simply isn't the content for me.
