Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I remember several years ago some incredibly cringey puff piece video came out about Gates. He must have financed it, in fact. It was aimed at 'humanizing' him, and painting him as a genius polymath philanthropist. My family was mad at me for calling out the blatant bullshit. I'm glad everyone is finally getting to see that there are no good billionaires.
He has been doing the reinvention of his image since 2000s, i knew it was bs, because his charitables were laudering money, and reddit was helping him by giving him AMA now and then. he was criticized over his vaccine push into african countries oto.
ironic that cosby a sexual predator himself. gates likely knew too, and probably thought if cosby can look "homely and humble" despite him being a SP.
kinda saw right through him when he was donating, or having some kind of philantrophy mission in AFRICA, it seems like its a fetish amongst the rich billionaires using africa as a way to "hey look here we are helping these poor people that are poorer than you are". he also did ama on reddit a while back, they dint allow any "discourse" of potential money laundering being discussed.
Maybe there are, definitely not those who seek attention (msft tsla amzn etc)
I don't think it's possible.
I think it is possible but just not probable.
I’d like to believe that at least.
I don't think it's worth the risk.
