So basically nothing happened and people are making a big deal about the fact that nothing happened lol.
just twitter being twitter
Thinking of making a channel where I take every little thing jimmy does and try to cancel him for it
"This week on Beast News, jimmy tweeted how he had trouble breathing. This, of course, is insanely offensive to those suffering from asthma"
the only thing that happened was mr.beast doing something good in the world (as a rich person)
White people should use their privilege and their money to help people in need in their country!!! --
Mr beast : OK **feeds people in the US every year and has a whole channel dedicated to philantropy in the US.
Awff big deal!!! you don't solve the real issue in AFRICA were they need more resources and have far more complicated lifes ---
Mr Beast: Ok **goes to africa and starts making some videos and changes on small comunities.
Oh Now you don't focus on people in here, there are people that have disease that can be curable in the US and you care for a bunch of people you don't know, how about you care for here.
Mr Beast: Ok **helps colorblind people, prosthetic people, blind people etc in the Us and the world.
Oh come on you can't just fix them, you have to help them have the infrastructure to get them out of poverty, they waste time and lifes by going for water for hours a day, don't give them money, provide them with water so they can be healthy and focus on growing.
Mr Beast: Ok ** makes 100 wells by directly donating his own money to make this possible.
Oh now you make every other charity look bad (the ones that usually never use the money for what is intended)... now you are so selfish because you are ... .you are... you are white!! and you should be ashamed of helping others while having privilege.....
Mr. Beast. **but you said to... give money because of my privilege....
Exactly. And this dude "Mogul Mail" is just banking off it. Click bait title. As soon as this dude said "He got cancelled" in the video I stopped watching it.
Hey Ludwig, Kenyan here. Found out about the Mr Beast video on Twitter and it wasn't Kenyans criticising Mr Beast, but rather us criticising our government because of how much waste there's clearly been in our government, yet one man (Mr Beast) was able to do so much more than our government. There was huge praise for him online, but at the same time, a lot of anger towards our government for not solving a problem that could have clearly been more easily solved. Clearly international media was trying to find a reason to cancel him and picked up on tweets that may have been more critical, but the Boniface Mwangi tweet you quoted from the Yahoo article is a good example of the general sentiment that was felt by people in the country
We mzee
We in the US have a similar sentiment. Especially after he "cured" blindness, food shelfs, etc. He's great, but shouldn't be having to do this basic shit when our government can blow up kids without pause. Canceling isn't even real. CZcams would never ban Mr beast, companies would be insane to turn away from him. So it's all clickbait bs for the algorithm.
Is it possible the government did not like all the bad rep and payed off news outlets to redirect it?
Thank you for commenting this how long will these boreholes help if you don’t mind me asking?
3 to 5 years@@spookieboogi6161
You should do more videos like this, debunking clickbait news articles with actual facts. Traditional media is such a joke at this point.
Well, basically he would have to go live all day, fact-checking the news anchors aka “professional journalists”…
We know journalists don’t actually do any real journalism anymore…
You wanna be a super start, go ahead, record some wack ass songs, but if you or your record label have enough money, your wack music will be streaming all day on every streaming app, and don’t worry if no one knows who you are, all the paparazo shows like TMZ will be talking about you, like they know you since for ever, other media shows will be making up stories about you just to keep pumping your name..
Obviously they will always talk good about you and treat you well on interviews, until you ran out of money….
I worked for a very famous mexican singer, he seemed like a very humble person, he spent more than ten years battling cancer.. zero red flags on television..
A soon as i met him.. I instantly knew he was an asswhole, treate his workers and musicians like shit.. everyone in the industry knew he was a arrogant asswhole… but would spend millions on paying the media to not talk about anything that show his real personality..
Random social media accounts have become more reliable than modern day journalism
This video is called "Why Mr Beast is getting cancelled" and then the whole video is about how he isnt getting cancelled.
@@feru1071I mean Mr Beast has been cancelled alot in the past. And knowing Mr Beast track record, no matter how much good he did, people will find a way to cancel him/bullying him
people like ludwig are obviously making this videos for the money
This is probably the most based Mogul Mail video. Bravo. Sensationalism in media is one of the most annoying things facing modern society and only sows further confusion and division
But then why make the title a clickbaittt (he spends the entire video saying hes not getting canceled)
@@lordnatu Honestly, kinda based
@@lordnatu Because of something very simple: it is not inflammatory or extremely descriptive. If you have a very descriptive and inflammatory click bait title, such as those in a lot of news articles, that is very different from a video title that is half a step removed from what the video is. If someone searched "why is mr beast being canceled", then they'll probably be more inclined to click on "why is mr beast being cancelled" than "why mr beast isn't really getting cancelled: a commentary about unethical journalism" or whatever you'd rather have it called. Mogul mail videos have basically what people will search to find the video as the title, an introduction to the issue as perceived at large, a more in depth look that pokes holes in the view a lot of people have manufactured, and finally talking about other underlying issues.
As a Kenyan myself I know the amount of corruption present in Kenya and how it’s hindering development in Kenya and mrbeast’s actions has just proved its inefficiency. Thank u to mrbeast for doing more than any government official could.
Give it a few weeks Zakayo will be claiming his gvt did it
so people in Kenya cannot figure out how to drill a hole in the ground? Why are you waiting for government to do it? You don't need any government, villages and cities build themselves autonomically, people build things on their own. If you just sit there and wait for government to do it for you, you will literally wait forever because none of them give a shit about your village
Real especially at a time where our own government is trying to screw us over
I honestly thought that with that corruption the Government was going to step in after it and either monetize the wells to further milk the poor there of what little they have, or just pull them out and seal them up.
wonder why the governments like that...
Thank you for pointing this out, Ludwig. I’m so sick of seeing the same “MR BEAST IS GETTING CANCELLED” headlines, but no one is cancelling him… I mean, even this comment section is filled with people saying “i can’t believe Twitter is cancelling mr beast again, omg just let him live”. They didn’t even watch this video before commenting.
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts.
Lets also add on top of that: Mr. Beast can not be canceled. He has too much fame and money to be canceled. Like what are you going to do? Take his youtube channel? Ban him from Twitter/X? Those things would never happen and even if they did he can just upload his videos elsewhere and not lose anything on it. People as rich and powerful as Mr. Beast can't be harmed through cancellation, this is a weird thing conservatives pretend can happen to rich people, it can't. Not that I'd want him to be canceled btw, he seems like a decent enough dude that does more good with his money than 99% of rich people, his only sin is turning it into content.
What conservative is saying you can cancel him. It’s not the conservatives trying to
@@worthmillions1782you can’t expect common sense when the video has only been out for like ten minutes
@@worthmillions1782liberals blame everything on conservatives just get used to it like me
If everyone approached news media this way we'd all be better informed. Great video!
"insert a opposing commet"
as someone who was in kenya at the time the video was recorded all of the Kenyans were very greatful for the effort beast and crew are making, its almost like journalism can be bs
I feel bad for the activist, it must suck having their words twisted just to make a clickbait article. And people wonder why journalism is dying...
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts.
Exactly, it's ridiculous how people take this.
Now THESE are the bot comments we need@@p-__
Source on the "journalism is dying" claim?
What if I told you 90% of publications have always been shit? And it's just that now the internet makes it easy to spread around.
Journalism isn't about spreading the truth anymore, it's about overly dramatizing small things so that people get riled up quickly.
I love the quote "Aspiring politician is not a job. It's the hope for a job." That cracked me up so much. Dude just got clowned on.
Don't know how or why yahoo ended up quoting that guy lol
@@ekcrisp1 it yahoo what did u expect?
@@SleekHeroofacts this is the same place that condemns you to hell is you have a headache

The minimize harm pillar is hilarious because Journalist now days seem to do the EXACT OPPOSITE depending whether they are on the RIGHT or the LEFT 🤣
I'd love to see you do more of this kind of journalism analysis. It seems like something you're still very passionate about and its entertaining seeing where media outlets go wrong in their reporting.
Those people aren't actually journalists, they are paid to get clicks. That is all.
that's the bad stuff
but many believe these people 😥
Then the problem is alowing these people to present themselves as journalists. And one would expect Yahoo news to have *some* level of journalistic standard or integrity.
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts
It still is killing journalists because a people don’t get that or b, they are stupid journalists
@@p-__delete your channel, wait 7 years when your 13, and make a new channel
This has got to be one of the most ironic comment sections ever. Everyone talking about how much twitter sucks for cancelling MrBeast when the whole video is about how the drama is entirely manufactured.
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts.
Shows the hypocrisy of these people, they are so caught up in their anger that they don't even realize that they are the same type of idiot like the ones they are trying to ''stop''
@@gigavangogh7187 And third group, the people that won't shut up about complaining about complaints.
Well it shows you people are more invested in getting their first early comment in for likes than they are for saying anything of value or paying attention. You can see this all the time when people copy paste the same types of comments on every new video. It's all a race for invisible internet points
so true
@@irecordwithaphone1856
I think there is a real reason for people to be skeptical of when someone not from a community/particularly the western world comes into to a underdeveloped one to solve a problem due to the historic consequences (see: voluntourism), heck, i'm definitely one of those eye raising people, but when i watched the mr beast video I noticed he did in fact work with members of the local community/people already wellversed with the community's needs, which to me was a positive sign of his intentions. As far as journalism goes, it's sad to see the state of many publications today in realizing the reason why so many have to result to bs clickbait is because of the surrounding attention economy and the fact that these pubs got to pay the bills and clicks/adverts are now really the only way now that print is sort of dead. one of my fave podcast rn Rehash by the brilliant youtuber Broey Deschanel talks abt the topic of dying journalism in their episode on buzzfeed news (i swear this isnt an ad i just love their stuff and thought it was relevant for anyone who was curious!)
I have Kenyan parents and it seems generally good that Mr. Beast's good actions are highlighting the corruption and inefficiencies within the Kenyan governent. It kind of forces them to answer for why they can't do these things to help their people.
I love journalist Ludwig. Always very refreshing to see REAL news reported PROPERLY instead of the cesspit of clickbait garbage that is "news" these days. Thank you boss keep it up!

That sounded like some fedora Redditer shit lmaooo
@@nathangebreselassie8515 to set the theme of the video about this? yeah, an outstanding move by ludwig
I still remember when Japan got "canceled" for that McDonalds ad, but the only responses I ever saw of it were A: People upset that there were people upset at the ad and B: People asking where were the people were who were upset at the ad.
I never saw one person who actually railed against the ad, and the people who were saying people were upset never showed any links or screenshots of people getting upset.
Because of this, I don't believe ANY twitter drama actually exists until I see actual evidence of people getting upset.
It’s usually 1 or 2 people and then “news” media outlets say “people are angry”.
I actually saw a "pro-white" dude call the people in the ad white lol.
He was saying how black people are forced into his screens and people who are mad at the ad are mad that it's a "happy white family" if I remember correctly.
I was like?
A fundamental part of your population shouldn't be on screens because it's "forced" yet you saw white people in a Japanese commercial?
Lol.
While others were on the persuading people to have kids bandwagon, this guy's was tweeting from the KKK's basement. 😅
People really are dumb.
I remember when Japan got cancelled in WW2
@@WeeniehutnurseAnd people say "this generation is doomed"
That's why these kinda articles tend to link some random tweet with 40 likes and claim it's somehow the "voice of the people". Just ragebait because they know people will click it and Google adsense doesn't differentiate between hate or agreement.
As a journalist student from Poland, I love that you are calling out the bullshit. Keep up the good work it's dare I say inspiring

I wouldn't even read anything on Yahoo ^^

It's just how journalists do their work. They don't give a f**k about the truth.
he did say why he was doing it tho, he opened the video saying 'other people aren't doing this so we are going to do it', essentially saying regardless of the reason these people are suffering, he's here to help since help is clearly required.
me about to graduate from my 4 year journalism degree with 30k debt (australia) and ludwig does everything I've learnt perfectly and even cites journalism ethics 😭
edit: you're a journalist major!!!!! this makes so much sense
It’s a shame that the activist is being framed in the way she is. She’s not mad about MrBeast doing his thing.
She’s mad that people are acting like MrBeast, is the only person actually doing anything.
When she and activists like her, are trying to do exactly what he did, despite not having MrBeast money.
Mr Beast is a current and only example of a modern philanthropist. At least he's doing good.
Yea it's frustrating how easily someone can reframe coverage in a misleading way, no one is immune to it either. This very video shows a number of articles/tweets that Ludwig says are "cancelling" jimmy, but if you read them literally none of them utter the word "cancel" or call for any form of deplatforming, it's all just debate and criticism about whether it's right that an american multi-millionaire should be doing this work.
Yes the articles Ludwig highlights that misattribute and mislead are bad and misinform, but Ludwig is doing the exact same thing by conflating disagreement with "bad woke leftist media cancelling good strong jimmy".
literally the same thing happened to Hasan
Thats not at all what she said. Shes framing it as its racist that hes getting so much praise. Hes clearly creating more awareness and more donations for creating more wells. Its not his job to do that. Hes doing it out of his own free will and out of his own money. Of course he should get praise.
"overnight this white male comes along with this huge platform and he gets all the attention" Yeah no duh he gets all the attention. HE BUILT UP HIS OWN AUDIENCE FROM NOTHING. How is it ok that shes getting mad he gets attention ON HIS OWN PLATFORM. Of course he gets all this attention from the social media audience he built up himself. Shes making it out to be racist, when its really not. And theres no justification for her to include "happens to be a white male" its just gross.
@@terraguttierez2996 She's not mad that MrBeast is getting attention, she is frustrated that it takes someone like MrBeast for the issue to get attention. That's a massive difference.
Ludwig failing to remember the 4 pillars on stream only to bust out this MASTERPIECE is why we respect the Journalist he truly is.
Congrats on 100 likes 🎉
Educate me, what are the 4 pillars of stream?
@@iamchatothe 4 pillars, on stream. The 4 pillars of ethical journalism.
I’ve noticed this becoming a larger problem recently especially with CZcams journalism. CZcamsr’s make thumbnails and these big, grandiose titles claimed “PEOPLE ARE UPSET AT (insert mostly likable figure)” and then their video is just quoting random tweets or Instagram comments that have 0 likes and no replies.
I've been trying to avoid the drama on this, but saw this was a Mogul Mail upload and figured I'd watch since you generally don't blow up BS. Sure enough, very happy to see you talking more about the journalistic issues than the drama of the week itself.
Thank you, my real life best friend Mogul Mail!
thank you for making this. we need more people actually fact checking sources instead of basically retweeting everything
Mr. Beast is arguably the biggest CZcamsr ever and has so many fans. Thousands and thousands of people will be forever grateful for what he did in _this one_ video, he SHOULD ignore it!
As a zoologist, I can confirm that you used the right terminology 👍

You are a legend of youtube drama and debate, you are so good at easily telling the truth, and not beating around the bush
Hey Ludwig
I have something to say that should make you feel good
Ironically it starts with me saying that I haven’t watched a lot on this channel. However, I have watched a lot on your main channel. This video shows that whatever content you produce it will always be the same. I say that as someone who watches your videos to hear someone just speak the truth and be real. Who cares if I watch one type of video over another. Sometimes you need to chill and watch a guy just be a guy because some people try way too damn hard. It never matters to me what you even do, you’re just being entertaining. Sometimes you need a video like this one. It’s also entertaining, but less “chilling with the homies.” I love the passion you have for getting the facts straight and I know this will make rounds at CNN and Yahoo when they get wind of this (even though they probably already have.)
I should have subscribed sooner since I’ve seen all of your main channel videos but better late than never. Love you Lud
Keep it real ❤️✌️
This is so true, i hate how even mr beast buys into this whole “getting cancelled” narrative, when most people dont care, or support him but maybe have some constructive criticism. You’re right it is the journalist’s literal job to report facts and not try to clickbait with fake headlines to drive this narrative even more
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts
I don’t think he bought into it, i think he’s ALSO clickbaiting 😅
I mean people have complained a lot about him on twitter before
@@letsgetfluffy3138complaining a lot isn't cancelling though
@@FunctionallyLiteratePerson yeah fair, it's not like anybody would try to cancel him even, not really possible
Having worked on water well projects like this I can tell you that the wells will likely fail in a few years without education and the involvement of the communities they are built in. But it's a lot easier for future NGO's to go in and fix the existing wells, educate the communities on maintenance, and help them set up committees to oversee and maintain the wells than it is for them to build completely new ones.
Do I have to be subscribed in order for people to like my comments?
He also set up funds for future maintenance.
@@Mcrawf21 thats fantastic, solid mr. beast W. Idk why people feel the need to completely cast off one party in humanitarian efforts like this, collaboration between specialized groups like FACE and philanthropic individuals like Mr. Beast is objectively the best option
@@holyravioli8648 well the best option would be for their local governments to have the resources and infrastructure to solve these problems on their own without inconsistent aid.
@@holyravioli8648Nobody is casting him off, if you watched the video it’s been explained. They’re upset that it takes someone with money to do this rather than the government helping with it, it should have been done in the first place. If we rely on philanthropy it leads to a slippery slope of who is more “deserving” of said philanthropy, rather than what should be done of the people’s money going to the people’s needs.
and this is why i never ever believe when people say they themselves/someone else has been "canceled". its either consequence culture or a bold faced lie.
People just can’t take constructive criticism so they just label it as canceling
This video was awesome. I really like how you presented the story initially and then demonstrated how things are sensationalized.
we need to stop using the word cancelled so loosely. Mr. beast isn't going anywhere. At this point the word "cancelled" is just a buzzword for anti woke people to feel oppressed.
anti woke people dont use it really atleast as far as uve seen, its still a word thrown around by the woke. Both of the groups are absolute morons at this point though i wish theyd both stfu
This really doesn't have anything to do with woke vs anti-woke which are also buzzwords. Most of society that get things done for the good of others do not do it so they can gain social standing from it, just as those who go to the gym daily for their health are not posting it on their socials every time either. Mr Beast is a brilliant influencer that actually uses his influence to do good and also be fun which is incredible and keeps him fresh on everyone's minds.
@@NovaSolAqueousthe anti woke sentiment is very common among those who claim to be anti cancel-culture because they often use the term as shorthand for social justice (since sjw has fallen out of fashion). Also the blaming on “you’re just saying this is bad because he’s a white guy” is pretty clear anti-woke rhetoric. “He didn’t do anything wrong but he’s white and the woke media hates white people” is at the core of the whole circus around mr beast being “canceled” every other week.
@@NovaSolAqueous your comment is a bit strange, you say that most people who do good dont go around telling everyone about the good that they do for attention/money
which is literally what Mr Beast has been doing for large chunks of his career (not everything, but a good amount), then you compliment him on doing good?

The only thing more interesting then drama is seeing fake drama get shut down, thanks for your work
This whole story and how people have reacted to it shows how dangerous misinformation can be on the internet. The worst part? No matter how many people see this video, there will still be people spouting around the wrong info, which will cause more people to believe said wrong info since it's so prevalent.

Good luck doing that without being an independent journalist, and even then, you still need money.
Power through it my friend, be the change that is desperately needed in journalism.
Once a journalist turned youtuber said to a class full of student in my city "be prepares to lie for the rest of your life" as a joke, but also as a reason why he left the career, so hope you can power through and become better than all the journalist of today, or if anything, become independent and adhere to true journalistic integrity.
love that he brought up spj, literally taught in the very first journalism class you take at my university
I agree with Saran Jones that the problem is how to keep those wells going, for someone who has a lot of resources, these wells can be installed quite easily for them. But it is how these wells will stay working for years to come that is now important. I hope systems were put in place to keep them going, and it wasn’t just another “hey look I put in this well” and then the wells forgotten about
The sad part is we need to have a CZcamsr do this. Shoutout to Mr Beast for continuously getting it done. We have so many charities that claim to help but get so big that they become massive bureaucracies that never get anything done. The people at the top of these charities spend all their time holding lavish parties to raise money for their charities and spend all the moneys raised on salaries and said parties and very little actually filters down to those who they claim to help
Hitler passed animal rights laws, banned human zoos, passed ecological laws, planted trees, created millions of jobs, passed anti smoking campaigns, gave money to low income families…
But then again……..it was Hitler! 😮
I agree it's kinda sad, but I think it's also great that we have a CZcamsr who IS doing this. What I like so much about Jimmy is that he is just a guy. but he's using his platform to do so much unbelievable good it's inspiring
The immediate reaction that people have towards someone saying something stupid is way stronger than their desire to actually see if anyone is saying something stupid. People want to feel vindicated by the fact that they support something good, so their bias leads them to fabricate an enemy to feel bad about. I see this style of reporting a lot but ESPECIALLY on twitter. Thank you Dubbin.
imo no one fabricated an enemy there's lots of people on twitter/" journalists " dismissing Mr beasts actions and making it into race (tho I agree they're nobodies and Mr beast isn't getting cancelled )
@@lakshans6962 That's the point though, the people who criticize Mr Beast (for any reason) are so few and far between that to complain about them is not useful or necessary. The Yahoo article said there are "activists" when it reality it was maybe 2 people. I'm sure there might also be random accounts on twitter but there is an incentive for people to troll, because they'll get attention from the crowd of people who are *looking* for Mr Beast criticism to feel better about themselves. Even when it's negative attention. That's what I meant with "fabricating an enemy".
Any time a philanthropic effort or organization gets widespread multimedia exposure, the positive effect is it becomes a highly effective form of advocacy. The downside to this process is it also exposes the efforts to audiences who simply lack the empathy to understand how philanthropy works.
Claims of exploitation or grandstanding, claims of excessive or unwarranted gift giving, and a complete indifference to the troubles of others can all be identified as being among the ways narcissists look at philanthropy.
The issue that could arise with doing something, which can often be an issue with such programs, is that it's a short-sighted solution that doesn't really help and only leads to more problems down the road. Kinda like rain powder.
But I don't know anything about Mr Beasts project
The amount of comments that showed up here immediately saying "cant believe twitter is cancelling mrbeast" or that "i knew mrbeast would get cancelled for this" without even watching the video is incredibly funny
would love to see more journalism dissection vids from mr. mail, good to learn how media outlets can twist headlines for outrage easily because many people don’t ever read the article. it’s good practice to point out how & when things look skeptical
That accountability form has got to be the coolest thing that I’ve seen a CZcamsr do in a long time
Here I was, thinking I was just getting old and grumpy with my frustrations with modern day "journalism".
The things you mention here are not isolated phenomena. I just read a news article from one of the biggest media houses in Denmark, saying "Hundreds are mad about... " - let me stop you right there, did you say HUNDREDS? You can find a hundred people who are mad about everything. And often, those are the same people.
Thanks Mr. Mail, I feel less alone now
It is indeed terrible journalism. Firm handshake. 🤝
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts.
9:07 I agree with that statement. Making other ls aware and then letting people know what they can do is very important, if not just as important as doing the work he did
As usual this is a fantastic breakdown of what has actually been said and what is being mis-reported or mis-represented, however I disagree with the last point about Mr Beast's potential responsibility to inform people about the reasons behind the need for the good he does. I feel that not only is this an entirely separate thing ie. to see a need and help is different from understanding the background reasons for the need, Mr Beast also simply does not have the ability to be fully informed across all issues he assists with. Following this, if he were to try and explain the reasons for the requirement of this assistance that he provides, if he is not fully informed it opens him up to criticism and also these issues often have multiple different standpoints for which he would definitely receive criticism, whether justified or not, from if he tries to explain the background issue to each.
Thank you for explaining this, I work a lot and I don’t want to use my free time to fact check articles and twitter posts so videos like this really do help clear the air. :)
Sucks to see MrBeast fall into the same hole of self-victimization as other public figures do (not nearly as badly though). Of course every single famous person has people who dislike them for terrible reasons, and jimmy is no exception. Allowing those people to be put up on a pedestal even if its purpose is for public mockery is a complete waste of time. Great video!
If Mr Beast thinks lots of people talking shit about him means he’s gonna be “cancelled” again, then I think he’s a bit entitled for that at least. Saying it’s happening again suggests he’s been successfully cancelled before, which is definitely not the case.
No wonder people think being cancelled isn’t a real thing, because of popular people like him who misuse it to describe any little attempt at discrediting their brand.
I ain’t gonna hold you, people who spread that misconception (or worse, lie) give off at the very least a yellow flag.
I mean David dobrik almost murdered his coworker and got a month vacation
@@jackwalker7304yeah, no man. "The beaster" has responded this exact same way to criticism before. This is just how he responds to criticism, no matter how light/nonexistent.
Maybe because the term is dumb in general?
Logically actual "cancelation" would be removing them from any future existence.
While it just means more haters or general hate ignites against someone.
It's a Zoomer term.
It wasn't used for specific people, from MrBeast, to Weinstein, to EDP, etc, prior to like 2015.
The point about borehole wells running out is partially false, while borehole wells can run out if placed in the incorrect location, surveys can be done to insure the wells have access to a massive underground aquifer, so large that the wet season will still come around and fill the aquifer up. I believe Mr. Beast said that they also did the geological survey.
I always will appreciate people like you that fact-checks these populistic headlines that twist the actual facts just for some clicks, a lot of people is mislead by them so thanks again.
I work with a nonprofit that builds water sources in Uganda. We have much less funding than mr beast, so we build a cheap water source that uses clay and sand to filter the water from lakes. Those sources can last for ten years easily, so I’d imagine those high quality pumps from the mr beast video will last a WHILE
Thanks for this one, the lack of fact finding in journalism hurts.
This is unfortunately so true, so much of "journalism" today is just taking what some guy said and framing it as if every single person in the world is outraged.
The worst part is how many people fall for it, people really don't have any critical thinking skills, or the basic desire to fact-check any information given to them.
Like I once saw a short (tbh, you don't expect the most critical thought from the youtube shorts audience, but still) about spiderman 2 acting like people were "outraged" that the fact you have to hold the fast travel button for a couple of seconds might be hiding loading time, and the short showed the tweets it based this claim of outrage on and all of the tweets essentially boil down to an inquisitive conversation/remark on how the game might be able to achieve such seemingly low load-times, yet people were still getting furious in the comments how "stupid these fucking fools must be to get outraged over loading times being too short".
Twitter is so backwards that they hate good deeds.
Watch the video
Did you even watch the video
@@1nicesteak109 I did, and I’ve also watched videos compiling all the hate comments he has gotten on Twitter
Hey, I know you'll probably not see this comment Ludwig but would you consider changing the title to Why MrBeast is Getting "Cancelled" ?
Since everyone's gonna get up in arms about 'Mr. Beast getting cancelled'. When they see the title of your video and don't watch it, it's just gonna add more fire to the flame in their heads about the drama instead of realising what the true problem at hand, that you said was, well... Poor and clickbaity journalism.
I know you've gotta drag in-viewers and stuff which is completely fine. Hence to cater for the CZcams algorithm and still send the message that you wanna send, you could add " or ' (idk I failed English) to emphasise that there's more to the argument 360 noscoping and then T-bagging on activities.
Not tryna hate or anything, I completely agree with your point and stance (It's what I've been saying for ages) as well as your content. Just a consideration 👍
Poor Mogul Mail is being kept in the basement by Ludwig and only being allowed to do videos once in a while now. #freemogulmail
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts
Thank god.
I feel so bad bc I was just about to criticize Ludwig for doing this exact same thing (just from the thumbnail), just to have Mr Mogul show me how it’s really done.
This is why I love this guy
Best slop on this website fr
Dude this is actually a really good video. I do hope that MrBeast makes a channel or some videos on his side channels explaining the systemic issues and flaws that led to the problems he has to fix. Although, it could get him into trouble with governments and otherajor actors if they are the major cause, and I can see why doing so would be counterproductive in helping people because you can't help if you can't travel to the country.
It's great that you are using your voice for this especially since I think you can make a real change in the online journalism industry just by telling people off and holding them accountable.
Thank you for dissecting this. People are way too quick in trusting what media is saying (or rather, the headlines. Let's be real, that's as far as many read).
I'm not saying Mr Beast did this intentionally, but putting the "cancelled" comment out there ahead of the video kind of poisoned the well (pun intended); by drawing this kind of attention to the video, it makes it difficult to genuinely critique it (if warranted) without being accused of trying to cancel him. Plus it's probably generating a lot of additional buzz around his content, which I'm sure he's not unhappy about.
I'm not sure his tweet changed the discourse around the video that much though, since other videos of his drew up the same type of articles regardless. I saw it as him mostly venting some frustrations
My farts are better than Mr Beast's farts
6:25 "He's also just an aspiring politician... which is just different phrasing for a dude." I laughed so hard at this.
It is nice to see someone actually taking literally the 20 seconds to read a source article and actually understand it, rather than just cherry-picking pieces and misrepresenting it.
I feel like this channels videos are getting better the way you went through this was very informative and continued to be captivating ty ly

Great video. Here’s another thing to consider.. why do news publications have these wild accusations and bullshit headlines? It’s the same reason why CZcamsrs do it; clicks and ad buys. The people writing the articles (or the AI that regurgitates from other sites) know MOST PEOPLE WONT READ THE ARTICLE (just like most people may only read this caps locked portion of my comment…too bad I can’t bold it). They feed off readers anger, fear, or want to see other’s fail so even if they clarify their statement in the article, they already “did their job” with a grabby headline, actual substance be damned.
So that’s the dilemma, click bait title for the cash with no substance, or boring but more factual headline with less clicks/hope people will actually read the article?
It sucks to see what the internet has mainly become. One person says false information on someone for clout and once it blows up (big if) everyone starts doing the same. People close to Techno paid their respects to him and other creators milked him beyond death. Someone hated on a creator, now everyone wants to hate on said creator. And most of these hate video's, or pointing out why they're bad almost never has sources, or if they do they overexaggerate , or it's not a reliable source. This is all because of how desperate some people are to get views, like, etc. without caring about the person they're making a video on because they're the same as you.(except those creeps yknow what I mean)(this also includes the viewers)
TLDR: Some people on the internet would do anything for likes, views, etc. even to the point of destroying another person with false rumors.
why is it so hard for the internet to understand two things can be true at once. You can acknowledge how many people mr beast is helping AND criticize some of his actions and motives. the criticism doesn’t negate all the good he’s doing 😭
Let me hear this so called good criticism of his action and motivation then
@@Akashi-ml9dn he’s a multimillionaire who uses a fraction of what he makes to help a couple thousand people for views, likes, and youtube success. His actions are a net positive, but philanthropy isn’t perfect. he has so much power, influence, and access to so many resources that he uses to essentially, put a bandaid on a bullet hole. Of course one person doesn’t have the power to change all harmful and corrupt systems, but his power and resources could be doing so much more than what they currently are. i don’t think he’s a bad person, and what he’s doing is incredibly generous and helps so many people, BUT i think it’s reasonable to criticize his potential motives, and to open the discussion to the issues with philanthropy as a whole. He’s doing good, and there can be unintended harmful consequences to his actions ! 2 things true at the same time

I’m so glad Lud cares about our relationship! He really is such a good friend to us all!
Something-something parasocial something-something. lol
He is not our friend. Don't you ever make that mistake
Such a source analysis is fun to see and very giving! It was also still entertaining to watch. Thank you for the video Ludwig!
Love this. I have always enjoyed Roca News because of those pillars you talked about. What would be some good sources because, well I can’t speak for everyone, I don’t trust the news anymore.
Lud calling out and roasting yahoo news is the content I didn't know I needed in my life. The chase against yahoo was way more important than the whole Mr. Beast drama 😂
I love seeing Mogul open all his Mail. It’s always entertaining.
it took one man to READ that article and nothing is found. wild, you can tell who reads and who doesn't
wow @MrBeast and Team you are all living heroes for all those people who have received great help from your actions. Much love and respect!
Ludwig, I would 100% watch you as an uncensored news anchor always taking accountability for mistakes and the like and being a fresh young face who doesn’t talk to everyone like a normal anchor would
Video summarised. Mr beast isnt cancelled. News sources have misquoted, which makes it seem like many people are unhappy with mr beast, but it was just one politician.
One *aspiring* politician
@@willc3421also that politician got harrassed on twitter, he's the one getting "cancelled"
I love how ludwig was able to do more research then modern journalist. Ive seen this as a common trend, shere u tey to look something up, and the article just kinda link in a circle and quote eachother, but the OG will be slightly off. Like in this case. But then you have "reputable sources" saying it, so then it becomes "fact". Im new to ludwig, but i like this guy.
not subscribed to this channel but bro when he said "subscribe" at end, it freaking made an effect to subscribe buttom.
The problem with Mr Beast isn't that he is helping people and bringing awareness to an issue but that he doesn't bring awareness to the cause of the issue. By not doing this, he creates the perception that he is only being a philanthropist for clicks and not to actually help people. Of course I encourage that he continue to help others and inspire others to help out too, but he also needs to bring awareness to the root causes and not just the issues themselves.
I agree with you whole heartedly that the root causes NEED exposure. But please recognize the tremendous risks involved with that. In many cases where philanthropy is used there is a social, religous or political feud responsible for those shortcomings. There is always someone you CAN blame.
But what about when you're blaming the shortcomings of a world superpower, one of their politicial parties, or politicians like Friendly Jordies does? You get sued, harrassed by police and get your house firebombed!
To me the idea that Mr. Beast is only in philanthropy for the clicks is absurd. He's already made it big with his actual content, he doesn't need the philanthropy bit. I appriciate what both of these creators do. Even if their approach is different, because I think it makes sense why.
They did the same thing to Hasan Minhaj, a political satire comedian who was up for the Daily Show Host gig. The New York Times literally publishes a hit piece on him and he ended up losing the gig because it came two weeks before Hasan was rumored to most likely get the hosting job. The New York Times Julia James article (never trusting anything written from her again) literally cut quotes and put them together, deleting all the context to make it look like he's a comedian who lies about everything in his specials when during his video he uploaded (yep, literally had to upload an apology video) he broke down every single lie in the article. Seeing how much the NYT blatantly lied in that article, literally he could sue for defamation it was that bad.
This all has taught me one thing, never talk to a journalist without assuming your words WILL get skewed to match THEIR narrative. Also, the New York Times never issued an apology either, screw those "journalists." 😒
I like when ludwig does journalism. I like the way he presents information, makes learning easy
I kept looking at the reflection of his constantly moving hand on the machine in the back.
3:25 “Clean drinking water is racist” 😂🗿💀
The term “getting canceled” means nothing anymore
It means a very specific thing. someone is canceled when a community decides they will attack that person day in day out for months or years. Talking shit isn't canceling having Luds entire community target an individual and harass every aspect of their life is.
Yeah, I feel like the meaning of the word kinda trickled downwards and deteriorated over the years due to the rampant usage of it (internet culture moment). I also feel like it's been reduced to some sort of umbrella term just like how people keep misusing "pov" or "gaslighting".
I have watched almost every mogul mail video but this one i didn't for a while because of the literal reasons he mentions in the video. I just thought: "Oh.. some more bullshit where 1 person says something on twitter and everyone freaks out and traditional media gets in on it". This video is just my exact thoughts whenever I hear some drama bullshit put into better words than I ever good. Good video; probably my favorite one so far.
I think the infrastructure for well maintenance argument is interesting to consider. It feels a bit like a give a man a fish versus teach him how to fish sort of scenario. But even considering that, you aren't gonna condemn homie for giving the man a fish! His generosity is still a great kindness, even if it doesn't solve the root political and infrastructural problems that are responsible for the destitution of these communities.
I like what the last comment mentioned, too, that the video could maybe be better if Mr. Beast spent more time explaining why these wells are necessary and what is actually going on that prevents Kenya from being able to achieve this themselves. It would help clarify the authenticity of the gesture, I think. It would ensure to the audience that it is an act of kindness that brings attention to the problem instead of solely bringing attention to himself.
