    He wouldn’t be able to do it if he was losing money though.

    It’s such a tricky subject.

    If you don’t use it to make money you can’t do it anymore.

    So is making money off it bad if you use that money to doore.

      If he wants to live ethically, he should be losing money until he is reduced down to his own level of need. Mr. Beast is supposedly a Christian and that is what the ethics of that religion dictate. In an ideal economy, people shouldn’t be able to hoard wealth either.

      One just needs to ask why he stops where he does with his giving, and why not go further to do more good if that’s supposed to be the point? Or why not use that money to stop these problems at the source rather than just providing temporary aid to a tiny subset of victims?
