Nobody is giving them a free pass. You're the only one suggesting that. We're discussing the weather and you keep jumping in and yelling the sky is blue. No shit, sherlock, but we're discussing the weather. Don't you get it? You're the only person saying that. We're talking about Mr Beast, and all you keep saying is What about all those other people? I don't give a shit about them because we're talking about Mr Beast. You're the guy that keeps jumping into the conversation and trying to change the subject to make it about something else. You're nuts or completely live under a rock if you think lemmy/reddit/fediverse doesn't shit on billionaires regularly, doesn't discuss wealth inequality, doesn't point out ostentatious displays of wealth. Do other billionaires get a pass? NO. Now let us continue our discussion without having to be reminded about something we already know.
