“Answer: Mr Beast has a channel called Beast Philathropy, where he spends millions of money on helping others through various means. Unfortunately the way he gets that money is by posting videos of him doing these altruistic acts, leading to people bashing Jimmy for “performance philanthropy”, or literally using poor people as content and giving them half of what he makes.
There’s also the time he asked fans to clean up the displays (like any stocker does, we’d zone [read: move things up and clean up the presentation of the product]) of his chocolate bars in stores, if they see them and joked about them moving Hershey bars away from his display.
People took this to be “Mr Beast asks fans to become unpaid labor and knock down competition”, instead of a youtuber who also happens to sell a product asking fans to clean up messes if they see them and if they want to, while also joking about a competitor that is doing just fine even if some people do literally move hershey stock away from his beast bars.”
