Time magazine is one of the most prestigious lifestyle magazines based in New York that awards one standout personality every year as the “Person of the Year”. The winner is usually selected based on the influence the person has had on various events of the year and the worthy winner of Person of the Year 2023 turned out to be Pop icon Taylor Swift.
However, MrBeast’s fans disapprove of the selection by Time magazine as they have a list of reasons why Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson should have been the worthy winner. The basic ideology behind the disapproval was that MrBeast, through his massive philanthropic activities and YouTube videos had impacted the world way more than Taylor Swift.
Jimmy is involved in massive philanthropic projects both on and off camera. If taking into account only his on-camera projects, every other video on his YouTube channel is about helping people in need and he sometimes finds a way to give away racks of money through his creative ideas. The year 2023 has been one of the finest in that regard as MrBeast has involved himself in numerous activities, including building 100 wells in Africa and ensuring the healthy livelihood of the people, especially children, providing treatment and surgery for over 1000 blind people thereby returning their light in life, providing ailment to over 1000 deaf people allowing them to hear once again, and lastly helping a bunch of people out with hundreds and thousands of dollars.
I think we can all agree that Mr. Beast should’ve been person of the year with dropping 100 wells in Africa, healing 1000 peoples blindness, and 1000 peoples hearing. I mean Taylor swift brought music to the masses sure – she’s amazing❤️ But… pic.twitter.com/aDUMW4jYgf
