He's trying to frame this attention grab as 'it's bad that this highly successful Youtuber has helped all these people when the government should do it and not paywall it off' because attacking Mr Beast directly for this is EXTREMELY dumb and a suicide for content creator.

Pushing devil's advocate to the extreme, he's partly right that it's bad a 10 minute procedure has been 'paywalled' off but back in reality, all this shit costs money from equipment, years of training, facilities, drugs needed during and after.

Unless you want substandard care, this costs money. If we could have it as a charity write off or in this case using it to create content, that's great because it's sustainable for wealthy individuals to pay for these procedures and be more involved in this kind of charity than giving it to BLM to buy mansions.

The only reason he's mad is because he believes that he is a good online celebrity (good, as in moral), and when another online celebrity does something good, it puts pressure on him to spend less money on Lambos and more on others so he goes into a frothing defensive rage justifying his past behaviour.

In truth, he fully realizes his hypocrisy, and his cognitive dissonance springs to action to defend himself.

That and attention, a bit as a content creator but mostly as a lefty they NEED everyone to hear them always and be the centre of the room.

Isn't it already a charity write off? I honestly did not even know it was that expensive, I thought it was a routine procedure especially for old people.

Not a lawyer so don't fully know if the way Mr Beast did it counts or the most he can claim is business expenses.

Do a lot of those old people have insurance as that's a key factor in this, and with charity write offs, I may be wrong so if we have legal experts here then please correct but doesn't it have to go through an organisation registered as a charity than you just paying a doctor or hospital to do all these procedures?

I find it hard to believe it costs $10,000. Someone is making an obscene profit.

Its funny, the healthcare system in the US is broken but not for the reasons Hasan thinks. Thanks to government over-intervention insurance companies essentially see humans as an ATM. This has caused even the smallest thing to be exorbitantly expensive (I once paid 1000 dollars for a flu and strep test at an emergency room that billed itself as an urgent care and told me my insurance would cover everything.) On the flipside, saying "everything should be free" leads to disastrous consequences. Rationing, poor care, creating soft slaves out of competent doctors etc. I think I might despise Hassan more than any other breadtube loser. As people have pointed out on twitter, he's an extremely successful "capitalist" that makes all of his money preaching against everything he practices.

That may be the simplest correct way I've seen the problem expressed in a while. The prices are made up so getting butthurt about the unit cost for something doesn't make sense. It's a milking of the people for whatever they've got. Which is why so many hospital bills go unpaid.

Who's "we" anyway? Where did he go to do these procedures?

No one is shut off. Literally someone has to setup a clinic like this. It doesn't just happen. Ya know do something about it or quit whining about it.

Another example of lefties not being able to create or provide anything. They can only criticize what others do. They have to tear down others so they feel less pathetic.

All the lefty haters are so stupid they don't realize they doing the same thing as Mr. Beast except without curing anyone's blindness.

Also complaining that someone is making money while doing something nice is dumb. He consistently does nice things for people, leaves ridiculous tips, sells cars for 1$, buyout all the food in a small local grocery store and donates it to charity….who cares if he profits off of it. There were people who needed help and he helped them.

Except for the part that this is his entire business model. Commercialized philanthropy, in order to get the views. It's the same way the lottery works. Pay for a lottery ticket and not only get the chance to win one million dollars, but you're also helping out some cause or the other. Of course, the business executives of the lottery are rolling in the cash, living in million dollar mansions, but that's not important, because you could very well be living in one of those mansions yourself!

Don’t care. And not really the same. The money being used are from sponsors, merch, and ad revenue. These people aren’t paying for a chance for something better while some guy gets rich. This guy is getting rich does nice things for people to make a video. Gets views, gets another sponsor then does another nice thing for someone…. And occasionally something dumb like how many leaf blowers to lift someone up or the equivalent of an impromptu game show.

My God I wish that shitskin killed himself already. It's concerning how big his fanbase is.

Insincere Charity does a hell of a lot more good than Genuine Apathy.

The purest form of grifter. After all, if he truly believed in communism, he'd be taken out and shot, and his wealth redistributed.

Hasanabi is a fucking moron and that woman is a warning sign of this. There is nothing inherently wrong with the video so the only arguments that can be made are that this is only being done for views and this shit should be provided free by the government, with the latter technically being the only reasonable thing that came out of his goatfucker mouth in the sea of regressive drivel.

Yeah, and he only cured 1,000 blind people, whereas Hasan has cured...oh, wait.
