A doctor is a profession, unless doing charity work, the act of being a doctor is not philanthropy.

Mr. Beast is a content creator creating content. It's pretty obvious he's doing it for content and he doesn't deny it either. I guess the sprinkle of "philanthropy" flavor is rubbing some people the wrong way but he seems far less dodgy than some celebrity philanthropists or evangelists.
