    As much as I dislike Mr. Beast and his voyeuristic style of "charity", helping cure blind people is universally seen as a good thing, fucking bozo.

      I refuse to watch bill maher but if I had to bet money on what the video is, I suspect the text beneath bill maher in the screen shot is sarcastic, and he's making the smuglord left-punching point that we should be thankful for the voyeuristic capitalist philanthrope and his exploitative shenanigans, and that criticism of said shenanigans is fun-hating hysteria.

      EDIT: I watched 3 seconds of the video, and yes, that is exactly what bill maher is doing.

      Yeah, people don't seem to grasp that we aren't mad that he's helping people, it's that he's doing a crap job of helping people and getting rich off of it the whole time

      Also his snacks are terrible, despite being easy to shoplift
