Yeah we all hate the guy but I'm having trouble explaining exactly why he's so despicable, like in a cohesive way. Yeah he makes people jump through hoops for crumbs but that feels like it's not the whole of why he's abhorrent.

    he makes people jump through hoops for crumbs

    Do you need any more than this though? Well okay then; He's a con artist that pretends to do charity work while exploiting children and the poor. His donations cost him nothing while he pretends it does, and any good he does fails to solve the root of any issue while presenting the false idea that it does. He profits off of humiliating desperate people for crumbs. In short, he is a propaganda artist and a parasite.

      I was musing the other day he's basically the evolution of shitty Japanese game shows where they humiliate people for entertainment tailored for a young western audience.

        I know this is a cringe meme, but he is basically what Squid Game warns about. Like to the point where he made a real life Squid Game to cash in on Squid Game when it was popular. :agony-shivering:
