a youtuber that earns his money by being “good” and is literally living off this “making news” isn’t really counting in my book.
Why not? He’s basically a walking nonprofit organization. He makes videos of spending the money to make more money through ad revenue and merch sales, but that earned money is reinvested into future charity. I wasn’t able to find specifics, but it’s a significant amount (several million, multiple times). Is he also enjoying being a celebrity? Yeah, probably. But that doesn’t mean he’s not both good and powerful.
Sanders won’t get in power
I mean, he was fairly close to being the democratic presidential nominee, and he’s a pretty productive government member even now. He’s always had a very clear positive stance on things like gay marriage and other democratic policies, even far back into his early career when those were much less popular.
Why people want Trump in office is just as baffling to us 😔
I don’t think it’s fair to discount goodness just because it’s also beneficial to the person doing it. How would you ever be good full-time if it didn’t? Aren’t good politicians doing the same thing? What about the people working for charities that pay them? Anyone inventing something actually useful for the common person while getting a paycheck? You’re restricting “good” to be only charity.

Most people who are good don’t make the news, but unironically: MrBeast, Jesus, and Bernie Sanders
Never thought I’d put any two of those people in the same category lmao
