Mr. Beast is never off. I’ve never seen a candid picture of him. He’s probably clean, but something’s very fake about him.
The first project I heard of his was “#TeamSeas”. Which collects donations to dredge trash out of the ocean. Except realistically, that trash is constantly getting replenished. The efforts should have been to reduce plastic waste, either by promoting less consumption or switching all drink bottles to recyclable aluminum. Neither of those look as good on camera as a specialized ship pulling trash out of the ocean and promoting anti consumption probably wouldn’t sit well either his audience or sponsors.
His viewers mainly consist of people who want to feel charitable vicariously or people fantasizing about about being on the reviving end of his charity. It’s not much different from the people who watch Life Styles of the Rich and Famous.
I don’t watch Mr Beast but he’s trying to help unlike everyone else. Yes we should stop dumping plastic in the ocean. But removing what is already there is useful just like cleaning trash on the beach is useful. You don’t walk past litter and say, “No point in picking it up, someone else will just throw more.”
There are many non profit ocean cleanup organizations.
Except, at least where I am, there’s social stigma against littering, so the first problem has been solved. Picking up a bit of litter every now and then is sustainable.
