Edit: I didn't see the hit piece / exposé that was made about him until now

From what I know about him, he is a genuine person, and his projects are done to help people if possible.

I know that many influencers profit off of suffering/kindness in a scummy way, but I believe that MrBeast is one of the few that actually try to do it ethically.
