His "business" is a charity. Charity shouldn't have to exist in a world with enough wealth to support everyone.

If his channel became something else, sure. But the point is he would be taxed until all those problems he "fixes" are solved, and then he wouldn't have much to put on his channel, would he?

If you take away the "charity" what the fuck does Mr. Beast even bring to the table?
