The context does matter, but it doesn’t appear you have the right one.
This guy was a literal child when he started his videos. And did no good for the world whatsoever at that time, he was simply making videos to see what would stick. Only later once he began to acquire the appropriate amount of views and fame did he choose to make videos that try to help other people. I’m sure if those videos didn’t become as wildly popular as they did, they would’ve been forced to pivot away from philanthropy. But they worked, and so they continue to be able to afford new videos that appear to help individuals in a variety of ways.
Bad things might come of this, someone could even accidentally die from poor housing construction (maybe they chose the wrong construction company), a faulty car (maybe the Tesla he gave away was shit), or eating a chocolate bar (they happened to be allergic). But I don’t believe any of that would be intentional on his part. His company, of course, could/should be held liable.
If anything he just seems like a kid who got in too deep, became ridiculously famous, and is trying to navigate this mess with the skills he has (making popular videos). No one at his current level of popularity comes out unscathed, period.
I don’t know much about the guy, I don’t even watch him. I was making an observation based on what other people’s comments said. I’m pretty sure you’re on the nose. Most people in his situation probably would try to bring some good in the world.
I just like leaving it to the professionals. It’s also important to make sure the community gets a vote on weather that’s the best solution or if other things are more urgent.
Kinda like how funding went into mosquito nets and instead of using it to protect infants from malaria it was used as a fishing net. In that community putting food in the table was more important. Now there are issues of chemicals being leached into the water by the treated nets and overfishing due to the fine mesh.
I mean you could take it out of context like that.
I think he’s probably a good kid. I just find the act very similar to those rich hippies, kinda gross. It’s personal preference not judgement.
