Just to be clear, MrBeast didn’t cure any blind people. There was no mass meetup at the Pool of Siloam. He paid for them to have a simple surgery that can correct a form of bad vision that renders the victim functionally blind.
MrBeast is a highly successful YouTuber who rakes in clicks with his amusing videos, often involving him spending, or giving away, large sums of money. If you want to know more, ask your kids.

Pretty awesome, right?
Not so fast. The Spoilers of Everything™ who live on Twitter will let no good deed go unpunished.
Where is the vast amount of criticism coming from? I’m sure you could probably guess, but it’s the horde of leftwing whiners who have their knickers in a knot because MrBeast did not help 1,000 people in the way they demand.
Twitter – Rich people should help others with their money
Me – Okay, I’ll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny.
Twitter – MrBeast bad

Reality check: Those leftists constantly demanding that the rich ‘pay their fair share’ actually mean there should be no rich people. To them, MrBeast is a cancer created by the evils of capitalism, and his money would be better spent if he just surrendered it … to them.
the whiners don’t want any problems fixed, they want to be professional victims and someone accomplishing things makes them feel bad, so they turn their bad feelings into lashing out at people
they are boring and useless, nobody should ever cater to them

Bingo! Government is the correct solution, in their minds, to solve all of society’s ills. A story like this, where a rich guy voluntarily uses his wealth to help people, harms the narrative they’re trying to create to push their agenda. ‘Rich guy bad.’
I honestly think this tweet puts to bed the notion that Mr Beast does 'good' because he's a nice guy – when in reality it's always about growing his brand and being liked pic.twitter.com/C2bfCCqOSN

Why can’t he do both? Why do people have to do ‘good’ in the way they demand? (Which historically rarely results in good, unless you love shared misery.)
Some form of ‘he’s just doing it for the likes’ is the complaint from much of MrBeast’s critics.
First, what a pathetically cynical view. Second, who cares? We doubt the people who got a free surgery and are no longer blind give a rat’s rear end whether MrBeast got some clicks at their ‘expense’.
What is a ‘click’ after all? It means somebody clicked through to his content, watched it, advertisers got their ads in front of the viewer, so they paid YouTube for the ad views, and MrBeast got a cut of the cash.
That’s it. MrBeast got the big corporations to give him a cut of the ad revenue for his content, so he can turn around and give more money away or produce more videos like this.
That’s what they’re mad about. Seriously.
They are simply attention seeking losers. You have done great things & will continue to do as such.

That pretty much sums up the situation.

Oh, sit back and we’ll show you, friend.
It’s been deleted…. pic.twitter.com/PZt5BFr3cL

Brianna Wu jumped on the altruistic terrorism of using one’s wealth to help people and then deleted her tweet. We’re guessing it was, indeed, an unpopular opinion with many.
Charity is creepy to Brianna.
all this mr. beast discourse is excruciatingly boring. i personally am more interested in us collectively revisiting a few key facts:
• the guy idolizes el*n m*sk
• he scammed his audience with a crypto scheme
• and he verbally abuses his workers. https://t.co/5tC4MhChZC— anna maría (@onlyannamaria) January 30, 2023
‘Hey, that guy did something good. Seems like a good time to smear him.’
People … geez.
Mr Beast could cure cancer and people would still find a way to complain pic.twitter.com/RIdLRbWvqD

We can hear it now: ‘Ackshually, heart disease is the leading cause of death in America … ‘
MrBeast simps. Hes NOT using HIS money to do this. He does "sponsored philanthropy" and has HIS OWN charity. He is one of many Rich people who uses and helps others use CHARITY to not pay taxes. He's not a good selfless guy. He helps the government deny you Healthcare via charity https://t.co/UvEYL92e8J pic.twitter.com/ue0hrTt6vs

In summary, from ‘CommunistsEgirl’: ‘Charity is bad because I want your money to crank through the government waste and fraud machine before being doled out to whomever those in power deem worthy.’
You know who else doesn’t use THEIR money? Communists.
No thanks.

Helping 1,000 people get a surgery to cure their blindness is evil, yo!
I just watched the Mr Beast eye-curing video.
And, it’s no surprise that people have very strong feelings about it.
It’s just viscerally dystopian throughout. The kind of cultural artefact which could only exist in a deeply broken society.

‘Here is my deeply analytical take on why this MrBeast video is problematic in our broken society. Please like, retweet, and click through the link in my bio to my YouTube channel.’
Content creator MrBeast goes viral after paying for 1,000 surgeries to cure blindness in patients around the world.
He also gave away $10K to a select number of patients, $50K to an incoming college student, and a new Tesla to one patient who has always wanted a car. pic.twitter.com/myq24yn9RV

What a monster!
The deeply unhappy internet goblins attacking @MrBeast for curing the blindness of 1000 people is exactly what's wrong with social media.
Goblins: yOU hAVe tOo mUCh MoNEy wHY dOnT yOu hElP PeOPLe
MrBeast: I cured 1000 people

‘Not like that’. That’s exactly it. ‘You have to help people MY WAY!’
Goblins is a good choice of words. LOL.
That’s enough of the miserable people. Twitter had plenty of humorous takes as well.
If Mr. Beast blinds 1,000 people tomorrow, will everyone get off his back?

LOL! Perfect. (This editor is a Bengals fan … and still in pain.)
He wouldn't be able to cure my crush's blindness. She hasn't seen my message yet. It's been 8 years.

Bwahaha!
I can't believe MrBeast taught 1000 people how to write JavaScript.
This monster must be stopped! pic.twitter.com/G91aljqT2g

This is a lie. Nobody knows how to write JavaScript.
