Iono, this is definitely a grey area… but he definitely impacted the lives of peoples who sight restoring cataract surgery he paid for.

I agree there is something icky (discussed in the article) but it’s weird to say zero impact.

And people saying "it should be free though", maybe should read Mr. Beast's tweet on the issue... he *agrees* it should be free and is advocating for that.

I'm glad MrBeast is the top YouTuber, it could've been anyone, but philanthropy and a spirit of giving took the #1 spot. Good on Gen Z.
