MrBeast responds to backlash that his video giving away 20,000 shoes is \u201cnot charity\u201d YouTube: MrBeastYouTube star Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson has responded to criticism around his newest charity video, as he provides 20,000 children in South Africa with their first pair of shoes. Over the last few years, MrBeast has become the king of YouTube, pushing past the 100 million subscriber mark and dethroning PewDiePie at the backend of 2022. The YouTube star\u2019s high-stakes challenge videos are what helped push him over the line, but he\u2019s also been known for his charitable work too. He\u2019s had his Team Trees and Team Seas projects, but he also helped cure 1,000 of their curable blindness in late January with his Beast Philanthropy charity. Though, that sparked backlash as critics claimed he was just doing it for views. He followed that up on March 8, with a video of him, his team, and charities providing 20,000 children with their first pair of shoes. Though, some have also criticized that in the same way. MrBeast responds to critics of his 20,000 shoes charity video Clips of the YouTuber\u2019s newest video were shared on social media, with some viewers challenging him to help a charitable cause \u201cwithout making it public\/video\u201d and claiming it wasn\u2019t \u201creally charity.\u201d The latter critique sparked a response from MrBeast on March 9. No hate, you prob just haven\u2019t seen this channel but it actually is a charity, and I obviously don\u2019t profit from it,\u201d the YouTuber said. \u201c100% of all revenue from beast philanthropy goes towards running my food banks and helping ease human suffering, and since inception I\u2019ve personally put in millions into beast philanthropy. That\u2019s the whole point, make content around helping people to generate more money to help more people.\u201d The YouTuber\u2019s response has drawn plenty of praise from fans, with a number of South Africans thanking him for what he\u2019s done as well to help their compatriots. It\u2019s clear that his generosity isn\u2019t going to stop anytime soon either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
