Boing Boing: Mr Beast rents out Giza’s pyramids in possibly the most conspicuous consumption of all time. “Not content to spend 100 hours in pedestrian venues like his own house, Jimmy ‘Culture of Misogyny and Sexism’ Beast has moved on to renting out wonders of the world for his entourage to crash in.”

Billionaires buying a platform that influences millions of people, what could go wrong? 🤦‍♀️
Jimmy "Mr Beast" Donaldson just posted a video saying:
"I just got out of a meeting with a bunch of billionaires, TikTok, we mean business. This is my lawyer right here. We have an offer ready for you. We wanna buy the platform. America deserves TikTok. Give me a seat at the table. Let me save this platform, TikTok."

One of the problems of working on a team is the increased chance of having to disavow a teammate. To #MrBeast this has already happened at least twice. The first was with his former dub voice to Spanish, outed as a sexual harasser - he replaced it with an arguably more accurate one but hasn't redubbed the old videos to my knowledge. Now there's the issue with Tyson - as they were very close together, I doubt he'll be willing or even able to edit each individual appearance out of every old video in the catalog. #MrBeast

@mekkaokereke This is such a common problem, especially with #ChristianMissionary visits. #MrBeast didn't take into account the fact that for a successful long term project, you need:
1) #StakeHolder buy in
2) Trained personnel to maintain equipment and a on-going stipend to support such work.
3) Availability of parts to service equipment
#EngineersWithoutBorders does a great job with this.
Alternatively, micro-loans are a much better way to generate Public good.
#AlternativeTechnology is much more appropriate than American/EU tech that breaks down as there is no one to fix it and can't get parts.

“Stunt philanthropy” – things like the viral ALS challenge that you may remember – has more recently been associated with a single influencer: Jimmy Donaldson, a YouTuber called “#MrBeast” who often creates viral videos that raise awareness and money for people in need.

It’s hard to predict what the future holds for stunt #philanthropy, but it seems that it’s probably here to stay.
