“People on Twitter will somehow be upset” - Fans react as MrBeast releases new charity video featuring African kids

Popular YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast," who is known for his philanthropic efforts, recently announced that he funded sight-restoring cataract surgery for 1000 people. Earlier today (March 9, 2023), he released another charitable video on his secondary channel, Beast Philanthropy. In the video, he and his team can be seen giving away 20,000 pairs of shoes to children in South Africa.

The video was met with varied reactions from the online community, with many people praising MrBeast's continued commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

After much contention due to his previous philanthropic deed, one Twitter user sarcastically commented:

"People on Twitter will somehow be upset about 20,000 kids getting free shoes lol"

MrBeast has a well-established history of engaging in charitable activities. His philanthropic efforts range from building houses for the homeless to funding cataract operations for people in need.

In his latest endeavor, the content creator turned his attention to underprivileged children in South Africa who are forced to walk barefoot to school. He said in the video:

"Because of the extreme poverty in rural towns walking barefoot is the only option, which means they have to walk miles over harsh terrains, broken glass and contaminated water."

The YouTuber revealed that working with a Johannesburg-based non-profit organization named Barefoot No More helped him reach out to schools in South Africa to eradicate the need to walk barefoot.

The video idea has also been shared across social media platforms, and fans have been quick to express their opinions on it. Here are some reactions on Twitter:

Despite his commendable charitable efforts, MrBeast's videos have also incited a lot of debate and conversation. For instance, after funding cataract surgeries for 1000 people in America in a previous video, there was a lot of discussion about whether the government should take more responsibility for providing medical care for citizens rather than leaving it to a YouTuber.

Regardless of the debate, the content creator's efforts have undoubtedly made a difference in the lives of many individuals. His actions serve as a reminder that anyone can make a positive impact in the world, regardless of their platform or resources.
