Mr beast 100 wells in Africa

[BLoCKANDLOADED ⭕⃤]

shout out Youtuber, Mr. Beast. He went to Africa and built 100 water wells, providing half a million people with fresh and clean water

Still better than nothing

This proves that he's really helping just like the eye sight video.

Idk how people hate this dude. Its because he does it for "content" tbh it doesnt matter if he does it for content. Its still better than doing NOTHING.

Well, just for perspective on the African charity situation, it's estimated that 30% or less actually goes to people in need. Mr. Beast is crossing a very low bar here, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

And what of the rest? They pocket the money? Is it used for transportation, staff, etc?

In a typical charity 20% goes to maintenance. About 30-50% of all African charities either go into the pockets of the organization or some Nigerian Prince (often literal princes who are extra-governmental individuals and rarely benefit the people,) or directly into the hands of a Warlord. Warlordism is about 30% of the average portfolio, Princes another 20-30%, 10% left to chance, rest is simply allowed to go to the people.

It would cost Kony like one bullet and two guards three days of guarding the well to poison it again, and Mr. Beast can't build 100 wells every year.

Why weren't the people there to begin with able to "dig and install" wells? Why did some Video Tuber have to fund it?

What about the people that already "dug and installed" wells? Do they get recognition?

I mean, isn't there Billions already being spent on doing this and many other things? Not trying to belittle their accomplishment.

bull****. show me proof of Mr. beast going to africa and installing 100 water wells.

I bet Mr. beast has never dug a hole in his life.

you seem unfamiliar with the concept of "public relations" and seem to assume the most famous person on youtube doesn't have a PR agent.

ha. You are like an influencer racist. They arent all the same.
believe this too, with all hes done, from planting a million trees, to giving money to people, cars, basically youtube game shows. This guy is really very real.

Dont consume yourself in such black and white thinking. The world is much diverse than that, if it werent, life sure would not be worth living.

wtf is an "influencer racist"? influencers aren't a race lmao.

and he's not digging a well, he's standing in front of a drill he hired.

I agree it's better than nothing, but him filming it and making way more money than it took to build them kinda defeats the whole purpose of doing good things. People who want to do good deeds don't film themselves and post it online for their tens of millions of fans to praise them over. But yeah, it was a good deed at the end of the day

right... there are a good number of people who just donate anonomously because they don't care about or want attention.

tho they all still write it off on their taxes, I'm sure.

Only on Steam will a bunch of people argue over a channel literally focused on giving and helping people.

[R-S!N]

Mr. Beast: "Click the link below to DONATE"
Where do you think Mr. Beast got the money to do so?
YouTube / YouTube-viewers payed for those wells.

We'll see in several years from now if all that actually paid off.... it may not be a bad thing?
But it may also cause more complications in the long run.

What's wrong with having autism?
Belittling people who do not apply to the norm?

How sweet.

[Irene ❤]

Actually it's not about mr beast.

Where are those acts of kindness from groups of faith?

Everyday they do their homework - recite, donate, etc.. but one youtuber went ahead and did something. All self claimed to be righteous, yet all defeated by one single youtuber.

If they are doing the right things, then that youtuber should feel insignicant. It should have been that way.

wtf you got against autism m8?

Agree... better then nothing

And that's the sad part... he's going to get flack from people who ~do nothing~ to help but since he did they can't stand it wasn't "them" doing it... not that they were going to anyway.

Such is "humanitarianism" SJWs that talk much... and do nothing, because they're waiting around talking about how things "should be" rather then just doing something and making it happen...

It's nothing but ego and stroking their conscience that they believe what he does is "wrong" and what they "would do" is correct... meanwhile.. those people ~now~ have water.

Good on Mr. Beast

When you have large enough fan base anything is possible

Clout or not. It’s nice that he did something good. It’s better than not doing anything at all.

Agree...

People are too caught up on "clout chasing" they'd watch a child starve to death rather then see someone feed that child and somehow show it for whatever reason.

It's a sad state of the world when people are more worried about social media then helping others

They don't help others themselves... nor want anyone else to look like they did either.
