Videographers are also philanthropists. Like the youtubeur MrBeast who allowed more than 1000 people to recover their sight by financing their operation that they could not afford. The moving video of him reached 58 million views in 48 hours.
With 130 million YouTube subscribers, MrBeast is the most followed YouTuber in the world. In his last video, a new challenge was raised: to allow a thousand people with vision disorders who see very blurry, to recover clear vision by paying the medical expenses of their cataract surgery. He has wanted to show that the only barrier is money because the operation is not supported at all in the United States.
To accomplish this, he teamed up with Dr. Jeff Levenson and scoured charities in Jacksonville, Florida to find patients in need. She achieved her goal in just three weeks. Forty people were operated on the first day and it also financed operations in Jamaica, Indonesia and Honduras.

Among the people who benefited from his initiative is Charly, a former cashier who had to stop working. “I lost my sight to such an extent that I could no longer see the change I was returning,” he testifies in the video.
And the youtuber does not stop there. He comes to the aid of Jeremiah who he has not seen in his right eye since he was born. In addition to paying for his operation, he donated $50,000 to pay for his studies. MrBeast is also funding the care of Satchel, who partially lost his sight after a go-karting accident. “I dream of driving again one day.” The youtuber simply chose to offer him his first car: a Tesla.
MrBeast wanted to open the debate on Twitter challenging the American public authorities. He invites them to reimburse these operations that many Americans cannot afford.
At just 24 years old, the youtuber became the most followed last November, thus surpassing PewDiePie and earning more than 54 million dollars a year with his videos.
