My issue with him is that he exploits people in sensitive situations for video content. His "restoring eyesight to the blind" video was egregious.

He's the zoomer equivalent of Oprah or Dr. Phil. He makes whatever will get the most attention, and invariably that means exploiting people to the maximum degree that won't hinder his ability to continue to exploit people. I'm not defending him, to be clear, I'm only trying to describe what he's doing. I don't like what he does, nor do I think it has any value to society.

Lol, that's a really good comparison. My nephew loves Mr. Beast just as much as my Dad likes Dr. Phil. Agreed.
