Thanks for sharing. Your post title is very misleading though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr Beast has never even heard of EA. I’m not against clickbaity titles which are more or less accurate but exaggerated, but “Mr Beast is now officially an EA!” seems simply incorrect. Not a huge deal, but I was quite excited when I clicked on this post only to be left a bit disappointed. May be worth clarifying in the text that Mr Beast hasn’t actually signalled agreement with EA principles.
I spoke with Jimmy 2 years ago and talked with him about EA, which he had already heard of through a friend. He’s definitely aware of it. Whether or not he considers himself an EA is another story, but he is engaging with an effective philanthropy, and doing a lot of good in the world not only through his direct work but also driving awareness via his massive platform. That looks effective from my perspective.

That’s great of course. I still wouldn’t have chosen your title. But thank you for spreading the word to those who have influence!
