I haven’t seen any of his work, but reportedly he’s a mega grifter. Not out to make creative stuff for its own sake, but just maximizing clicks. Giving away money, but only because he’s done the math to see that the revenue eclipses the cost. Helping people with sad life stories, but only if he can get it on video and publish it.
And yet he’s like the number one channel or something?
I guess there’s always gonna be something to fill that particular role. But I don’t think it’s worth paying any attention to him as a specific case, more just as a general trend. Like the fact that you gotta clean the grime off the side of your fish tank every now and then.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to even the most established giveaway organizations only giving away like 10% of their earnings intended for charity to actual causes, but if you ask me, charity is charity. If he's going to brag, so what?
