He has said on multiple occasions that he puts all revenue towards future videos.
There is no margin. The money eventually ends up in the hands of people that wouldn’t have otherwise had it.

The claim is also objectively disprovable since the man lives, has homes, etc. So he’s spending something on non-video things.
And that’s ok. It’s just that “100% into future videos” is clearly not true. Maybe it’s 99.999%. Maybe it’s 0.001%.
We don’t get to know unless he goes public or registers as a charity.
There’s also no proof that he’s lying, either. His entire schtick is to be the cool philanthropist and he has staked pretty much his entire reputation on this brand. He has no reason to lie and is in fact heavily incentivized to tell the truth to keep doing what he’s doing. There has not even been a sliver of an indication this is not the case. I get being pessimist, but this is ridiculous.

He’s not Mother Theresa and nobody claimed he was.

This is pedantry at its finest. Everyone here is painting him as a selfish person only in it for the money and fame and this is what you have a problem with?
He still has room to grow his business. And he can cash out quite easily. If he goes a year keeping just 20% of the revenue from his videos he'd make an absolute ton of money.
Is it technically possible? Sure. But he has made no indication that has ever been or will be the case so I don’t see why people are assuming it will happen.
We shouldn’t be assuming the worst in people when they have shown no indication that this is the case.
