Don't let ideals get in the way of good. While what you say is true, he could literally help no one if he hadn't followed this business model. He wouldn't have the cash. His videos bring in more cash which can help more people. Yes he makes money too but its more distasteful to me to be someone like you who prefers less people get help if someone else profits from it than it is to be someone like him who helps more people than you are and also makes money from it.
A bit rich for you to be saying his way is wrong when you probably haven't ponyed up your own cash to help even a fraction of the people. The world you want to exist does not. Everything has a cost. Id rather people do some good in exchange for that cost than wish everyone did everything for free which incentivizes no one to do anything.
I don't watch him. His videos don't really appeal for me but I recognize the good that can be done in such a format.
That’s a fat lie for you to say that I prefer people not be helped.
Where’s your cash dump to the poor?
You read what you wanted and made the rest up. It is also possible be disgusted with someone’s approach and still understand it helps people.
