    “exploit the poor” is a bit of an odd way to phrase “mistreated employees”. I have seen stories is the later though.

      I suspect the “exploit the poor” accusation also comes from the fundamental premise of “helping people” who need it while actually benefiting yourself through fame, ad revenue, etc. Pretty much the dictionary definition of exploitation to use someone for your own ends.

        So he doesn’t actually help people who need it? Or does he help them but he’s “a bit of a dick about it”?

          Why are you moving the goal posts/building new goal posts? I thought the question was whether he “exploits the poor.” It’s cool if you’re a Beast Lover or whatever you people call yourselves. I think he’s a piece of shit, but you do you.

            I’m not making an argument so I can’t be “moving the goal posts?” And why are you starting to assume things about me personally? It’s not about me. If you need to know what I think before you can answer a question that says more about you than you may think.

            I honestly don’t know what he’s done to the poor. I’ve just seen some of the mediocre-to-crappy “reality TV-style bullshit” that he creates.
