I listened to the same interview and can recommend it too. The key to understand him is how he views what he does as hacking: mastering all aspects of YouTube, every detail that attracts views.
Instead of getting hung up on what is or isn't altruism...
It's interesting how people gets stuck in that point. They want him to suffer in order to qualify for saint status. Otherwise, doing good is meaningless. On the contrary, I find very nice his happy, positive, laid back persona.
I wonder what people criticizing him thinks of well-known NGOs.

Until BeastHQ PR agency decides that it needs to plant stories in major news publications to counter the original narative and rebrand away from hacking: mastering all aspects of YouTube, every detail that attracts views to full fledged saint.
> thinks of well-known NGOs.
I have many uncharitable words for the vast majority of charities, workers, donors and charity galas - the problem with both cases is when people stop being honest and go from admitting the reality to claiming they are a saint.
I haven't heard "altruism" or "charity" from Mr. Beast's mouth, it's the article that uses those words and then proceeds to attack the characterization. He talks about giving away money to get views and entertain watchers.
Let me insist in watching the interviews instead of reading about him. The guy is very straightforward about what he does, why and how.

So you judge people for what they will do?
Anyway, the charities, from the start, claim that they're saving the world and keep claiming that when corruption cases arises.
