Good samaritans or narcissistic egotists: what is behind the rise in YouTube philanthropy? Ros Taylor is joined by Rhodri Davies, the founder and director of ‘Why Philanthropy Matters’, to discover why influencers like MrBeast are turning to charitable causes – and how their realm of influence could expand.


“YouTube philanthropy videos generate unimaginable amounts of money.” 

“Many YouTube stars have maintained their fandom through charity videos.”

“We are witnessing a transformation in how philanthropists raise money.”

“There is a fine line between cynicism and celebration.”
