Ironman famously said in his movie:
“I have successfully privatised world peace.”
Now MrBeast can say:
“I have successfully privatised health care.”
Of course not.
But he tried.
He released a video that immediately went viral and as usual, with fame come controversies.
“The 24-year-old and world’s most popular YouTuber uploaded a video over the weekend that revealed he funded cataract surgery for 1,000 people.”’
“The video, titled “1,000 Blind People See For The First Time,” has garnered more than 77 million views on Donaldson’s channel”.
Have you watched it?
Donaldson said: “If you’re wondering how the surgery allows people to see again, it’s because the lens in their eyes is so cloudy that they can’t see through it.”
“So the surgeon uses a tiny vacuum to suck up the clouded lens. And replace it with an artificial one. The surgery is that simple! They can see again.”
People have estimated that it cost MrBeast around $5M to pay for all these surgeries.
He randomly gave out $10,000 in briefcases throughout the video.
Why am I not surprised anymore.
His generosity is unparalleled and frankly quite scary.
Was it a shrewd attempt to gain more subscribers with his clickbait titles and “charitable acts of kindness”?
Was it a genuine act of nobility and that he was trying to help these blind people see?
You know what, its BOTH!
Why can’t it be both an act of kindness and another chess move on his YouTube subscriber flywheel plan?
That’s what makes MrBeast so unique and intriguing.
He is an innovator in the world of YouTube, and he’s not afraid to take risks.
For example, he has invested millions of dollars into a massive tree planting campaign, which was originally intended to inspire other creators to take action on environmental issues.
But this cataract surgery project shows us that he is willing to put his money where his mouth is, and use it to directly help others.
He is doing good and gaining more subscribers, so what’s wrong about that?
It’s an inspiring reminder of the power of philanthropy and what good can be accomplished when people are passionate about something.
Plus MrBeast has an enormous audience, so his gestures are exponentially amplified.
It also serves as a reminder for all of us to be kind and generous in our own lives, no matter how small the gesture.
After all, it’s the little things that can make a positive difference for someone else.
The chess move here?
His giving won’t just help those who are receiving his generosity- it will also inspire others to do good works of their own.
So let’s all take a page from this story and find ways to use our resources to make the world a better place.
Every day is an opportunity to build something bigger than ourselves and make an impact on the world around us.
One thing is for sure, MrBeast has not stopped his content creation engine at all.
He is always trying to one-up his last success.
He admitted it himself, having spent weeks in a row stressing about new interesting ideas that would go viral.
The big difference now is that he has teams of experts and quality talents to help him strategize, prepare, plan and execute.
Essentially, he has crafted a perfect content machinery that keeps on rolling like a freight train.
It does not stop for anyone or anything.
And neither should you.
