Solving poverty through…………social media?

One day my kids were watching YouTube about some younger people up to some hijinx. I wasn’t paying attention at first as I was probably watching some girls in bikini’s or car chases with the legendary Bill Hickman (Bullitt, The French Connection).

The young people were giving away 40 cars to the 40th million subscriber. You read that right; 40 automobiles from a YouTuber with over 40,000,000 subscribers! The channel is called Mr. Beast and the main beast is a kid named Jimmy Donaldson. 75 Radio has 4 subscriber!

I started watching more of Mr. Beast. And the generosity of the show is sick. Donovan donates cars, video games, houses, food, and pallets of cash.

It’s real easy to say its all staged, but why waste the time and money to buy out a whole grocery store (literally) then rent numerous U-Haul trucks to load up and then spend hours to restock the shelves after pulling up to a homeless shelter. I don’t think so.

Ditto for loading toys in a truck, flying around the country and donating them. Your spending a shitload of money for to be fake. I don’t think so.

Donaldson is able to be so generous thanks to sponsors and income generated from YouTube, as well as merchandise on his website. Mr. Beast gets tens of millions of views for every video. He does better in viewership than television.

Donaldson is able to help people who have fallen on hard times and some who have not instantly. Donaldson gave away houses, money, cars, food, and basic needs such as food or clothing without a government program or grant. Donaldson is not in front of a television camera telling us that we need more money and more government to help the poor. Donaldson just does it.
