Mr. Beast Heals 1,000 Blind People On YouTube! (Performative Charity) – Episode #181

from Jimmy’s Table Podcast · host Jimmy Humphrey

Social media influencer and YouTube star "Mr. Beast" recently paid for 1,000 blind people to receive surgery that restored their vision, and made a video about it. Some see this as "exploitation," yet others see it as nothing but someone doing good. In this podcast, I look at the criticism and defense of "performative charity."
