Do we even know he wanted to hurt Trump in the first place? He made no attempt at attacking him, he was just hiding with a weapon. Which might have been in order to protect Trump from assassins as far as we know. Did anyone ask?

Presumably because letting the cops know you are defenseless is not what they want to message.

For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.

Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.

And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.

I want to see what contract they signed before he payed for their surgery.

Guilty until proven innocent, eh?

Most of them were gonna get the surgery done anyway, he just made it happen faster

Well, that’s good isn’t it?

In exchange for being on video.

I didn’t watch the video, but skimmed through it now. In the wide shot it shows around 200 people. Meaning 800 people got it without having to appear on video. It’s likely they just got the money and a question if they want to appear on a video. 20% said yes, 80% said no, still got the money. What’s wrong with that? Looks completely voluntary.

If Jimmy was in it for good, he wouldn’t exploit the people he’s helping.

In that video, it doesn’t look to me like he did. Clearly people got the money no strings attached, and an option to appear in a video in they want to, which most of them didn’t take.

He makes more money off each video than he spent.

Which gets spent on the next stunt. If not for the 1000 blind people video, he would have no money for the 100 free houses video, without which he would have no money for the 100 wells in Africa video, ad infinitum. If you say what he does cannot be packaged into profitable media, then that’s fine, but that means it can’t be done at all. Filming people getting helped is how more people get helped next time. As long as it’s voluntary for the people getting help, as it seems to be, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

I agree with many of his criticisms, but to me he seems far from actual problems with this world caused by politicians and corporations. A YouTuber making a show of helping people seems like the last thing wrong with this world today. And people wouldn’t need the help if we solved the actual issues.

I agree, but he’s far from the enemy here, he has no money compared to the billionaires we should be fighting.

You also don’t know they weren’t given ongoing support. We can both play this game.

I’m not from the US, but I assume they have laws for this. I’m against vigilante justice against people who were already judged by the legal system. Do you also support not hiring any felon?

I don’t think he should or shouldn’t be allowed near anyone, I assume if there was a reason to be barred from it by the judge, he would be. Clearly he wasn’t, so I’m not going to be an armchair legal expert and override the judge.

I don’t know, I feel something that you did as a teenager, and that you have already went to court about, shouldn’t haunt you for the rest of your life any more than it already does with the legally mandated registry.

But that’s what he did, he gave the money to existing charities who build wells (probably in exchange for being able to film them being built).

The random people in Africa that got wells drilled are part of the scam? His employees, sure, but I’m not arguing with that.

I’d still take a free house from a massive piece of shit, tho.

And that’s pretty much my argument.

Well they are not forced to keep the house. They can sell it, or if they don’t want it at all, they can give it away. But then why did they sign up for it in the first place?

You are saying as if they were forced against their will to get a free house.

After watching the videos, and the analysis from Legal Eagle, I find the criticism a little dubious.

“Rigged challenges” is how he introduces surprise things mid-video, like “I’ll give you $10,000 if you quit now, but your team loses a team member!” It’s obviously part of the show and participants agree to it happening before hand.

“Knowingly hired a sex offender”. Well? Should everyone on the sex offender registry be jobless forever, or what is the point? The person in question was convicted when he was 16, and was hired 7 years later with nothing indicating he would reoffend. Don’t we have courts for justice? Instead they should never be hired as punishment? To me it sounds commendable he’s not prejudiced against people’s past.

“Attempted to silence anyone” Did he? There is tons of people criticizing him and I only heard about one cease and desist. Do we know that C&D was baseless?

That DogPack guy seems to have created his YouTube channel solely to attack MrBeast, do we have anyone more trusted?

Like many, I find the MrBeast videos a cancer of YouTube, which makes hearing any critique of him convenient. But I don’t like assuming, and I have a feeling the DogPack guy has an agenda and isn’t offering an objective view.

I agree, but on the other hand the people he helps, well, get helped, and would be worse off if he didn’t do that. Obviously it would be better if he wasn’t making money off of it, but would it be better if he stopped?

As morally dubious as he is, I’m sure the people who have access to water after his “build 100 wells in Africa” stunt would disagree with opinions that he should stop.

So I don’t know. I agree with the criticism, but I always think of the people who got help and I’m unsure what would be better.

It’s not like getting Ublock Origin from the official website instead of the Chrome Web Store is some kind of a problem.

Ok, well “broken” sounded like, you know, that things don’t work.

They didn’t:

• Android 12: Snow Cone
• Android 13: Tiramisu
• Android 14: Upside Down Cake
• Android 15: Vanilla Ice Cream

They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.

What’s broken about it? I use Kubuntu and everything is working fine.

Most countries already have roads. That doesn’t make them inexpensive, just means the cost was already paid.
