The debate remained viral through mid-March 2024, with users appearing to largely agree that Mr. Krabs is the greedier character.

AILY ... abs, I can't believe I'm sayin how could you trade Sponge for sixty-two cents? Montrel McCall @shadydoorags Krabs, it's not even a contest. Scrooge is greedy, but he's given up riches multiple times, usually for his family. He's also done charity work. Shoot, on a whim, he was willing to start from scratch and leave behind his fortune just to prove he could earn it all again. The Greatest Geek of All Time (Optimus Prime er: @Jaiku2099.

Depends reallty, in the American comics and stuff, Scrooge is alot more affable and caring towards his family, he's cranky and somewhat miserly but it's constantly reinforced that he loves his family over his money. The Italian/European comics however, Scrooge gives Krabs a run for this money, being extremely cantekerous, angry and even (comically) violent towards his family for constantly putting his fortune at risk or otherwise trying to tak advantage of his money and status, this Scrooge has also done stuff similar to Krabs such as actually not paying Donald to work for him and even CHARGE him to work for him, though typically this is cause Donald in those comics is extremely lazy and constantly trying to scheme to get out of working or scamming Scrooge for money.

TLDR: American Scrooge is too edgeless and friendly to provide Krabs any challenge, Italian/European comic Scrooge however is just as bad as him and could actually give him a run for his money (PUN FUCKING INTENDED.)

One thing I do find interesting is that Scrooge is more likely to spend money, but Krabs isn't unless he absolutely has to. Scrooge lives in a huge mansion, Krabs lives in an anchor (though his house is nicer than the homes of the series' other main cast, it's no mansion). While Scrooge can be greedy and a bit of a curmudgeon, Krabs is shown to be far worse most of the time (selling SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents, charging for breathing, doing the absolute bare minimum for Pearl's birthdays and her 16th was only good because of SpongeBob…)

Yeah, Krabs is the worse of the two.
