If you're feeling like starting a new career path, learning something new or just review the stuff from a well-known university.
A look at the darker side of MrBeast’s philanthropy and the wider philanthrocapitalist model it's a part of. Looking specifically at #teamseas and a partnership with Jennie-O, I attempt to untangle how corporations and conglomerates like Coca-Cola, chemical and oil companies, and big meat monopolies all have a vested interest in financing certain ‘philanthropic’ projects while side-lining others. This is a story that takes some surprising twists and turns, from whitewashing, greenwashing & ‘funwashing’ sponsorships, to illegal price-fixing, an endemic of farmer suicides, and leaked corporate emails to influence charities. Examining the roots and consequences of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ tells us a lot about how lobbying works under modern capitalism. This is a long video, but it’ll be worth it to tell this story properly.

Given that traditional news outlets are dying, is this a possible way to revive it? People write about news all the time, on blogs and reddit/facebook, for free. They write informed short posts about local events/stuff, for very few readers. If many of them gathered together on one platform, like a reddit or medium -style platform but exclusively for news-type articles, would that be a viable project? Anyone could write and contribute, but some will consistently get reputation/upvotes and float to the top. It could be a donation-based business model, so the higher reputation writers get some cash.
