Honestly don't know much about this guy. Never watched any of his videos but they all have the clickbait soy face and blatant fake smile. But the things he "does" seem noble, at least based on the titles? I know there might be sketchy stuff but I've never seen any thing negative about him, even back on reddit and other sites. I do refuse to believe he does everything out of goodwill and the fake smile tells a lot. But it's still impressive how he has pretty much no dirt on him. Maybe the cult like fanbase do all the work and ensure nothing negative gets out. I do want to believe that he's the perfect altruistic billionaire but that's literally impossible in this world.

One of many terrible things you can read on that terrible sub-human.

There have been some people coming forward over the last few months that say they have been treated badly by him and that much of the videos were faked or exaggerated with CGI or they claimed something they just didn't do.

He employs a rapist with a record as one of his employees who would work with the contestants.

Then when he got called out about it he shuffled him into a different part of the company.

We employed a rapist as president... so I guess it's the hip thing to do now.

Well we shouldn't have to lower our standards to the office of US Presidency...

….. The fact that this sentence makes sense is really sad.
