One of the world’s most popular YouTubers is being criticized for posting what some viewers call exploitative, harmful content and ‘inspiration porn’
MrBeast is feeling the heat.
The 25-year-old YouTuber, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has built a brand centred around filming expensive, philanthropic stunts as well as survival videos and has amassed more than 150 million subscribers over the last 12 years.
Having accumulated nearly 40 billion views on the platform, some have pegged his net worth to be as high as $500 million.
His videos often feature large cash prizes alongside a philanthropic bent, such as removing more than 30 million pounds of trash from the oceans and raising $20 million to plant trees across the globe. Donaldson has also vowed to give away all his wealth before he dies.
For the second time since January, however, Donaldson has attracted criticism for posting what some viewers call exploitative, harmful content and “inspiration porn.
His latest video, which has been viewed nearly 50 million times since it was posted four days ago, is titled “1,000 Deaf People Hear For The First Time.”
