Most here are unhappy that Mr Beast is doing propaganda for likely useless African charity, but it is important to note that the initial claim that the wells failed was a bust and just a couple of people wishcasting on a podcast, which was then boosted by social media.

The news cycle moves really fast these days, but we should try not to repeat hearsay.

The news cycle moves really fast these days,

IIRC, "news cycle" is too charitable.

It was some clickbait video making unsubstantiated claims.

This is an excellent point to consider, but it begs the “yet” argument.

It’s like if I told my kid to not jump off living room furniture because he might sprain or break something. He then says “it didn’t happen the last time I did it.” But we both know it will happen given enough chances.

Africans do not do this. Me. Beast will have to send somebody forever.

Indeed. It was juicy and very believable, so no one had seconds thoughts. Unfortunately it was just wrong.
