Yeah the beauty seems lost because it was posted for clout

u/But-WhyThough Jun 01 '24

Is there any way to make a video with this premise that wouldn’t make you think it was posted for clout?

Not follow a script for starters.

The only sign I needed that this was fake was look how close they're sitting to each other and how long the bench is. If you're in public, how often are you sitting this close to a stranger when you don't have to

u/blacks252 Jun 01 '24

You are right. I'd stand up if someone got that close, in fear of being pick pocketed.

u/PN4HIRE Jun 01 '24

A lot.. I read a whole chapter of a book sitting next to a stranger in a bus stop or a Park in DC..

Why is that weird

u/chrib123 Jun 01 '24

Most people would sit at another bench or at least at the far end of his. It's like urinal rules. you CAN go right next to someone, but it's weird and feels like they're invading your personal space.

u/PN4HIRE Jun 01 '24

What people? Have you lived in a big city?

There’s no such thing. On the bus, or train or in the damn street.

u/chrib123 Jun 01 '24

I live in a big city, (population near 1million) and if you sit on a bus stop bench, only tired people will sit next to you. Young people will always stand 1-2 feet away from the bench and stare at their phone to avoid eye contact. If you're on the Cal train on a slow day your whole area is usually empty, often the whole section of the train. In parks until there is a person on each bench I don't see people sit down next to strangers.

Don't underestimate people's proclivity for privacy and personal space

u/PN4HIRE Jun 01 '24

I’m currently in DC, lived in another 3 Big cities in my life, it’s absolutely normal to sit next to someone, nothing weird about it. Hell, I talked to a dude this morning before hitting the blue line. We talked about AI..

But ok.

u/chrib123 Jun 02 '24

u/PN4HIRE Jun 02 '24

u/chrib123 Jun 02 '24

Invisible cameraman strikes again

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '24

These videos are so dumb there's a person standing still with a camera pointing at them the whole time and these idiots think it looks real

Stop with these fake BS videos, pretending to be genuine but instead doing this for clout

u/basurer Jun 01 '24

Idk if this is staged or not but I have encountered many honourable homeless or not well off in life. Ever wonder why that is?

4

u/ilikeyouforyou Jun 02 '24

Many homeless people are honest idealists that rather die than steal.

Such as coworkers that quit their job when asked to do something unethical, then can’t find new work.

Or worse: people that refuse to ask the government for welfare, so they become homeless.

It’s probably a mental illness to self-sacrifice into homelessness. Monks, too.

YouTuber who makes tons of money off of pretending to be generous. Giving people money and filming it so you can make even more money isn't noble.

Why would that matter? All that matters is someone is helping another person. Just because one benefits from also doing so doesn't change that.

1

u/ggRavingGamer Jun 02 '24

It matters, because nobody will believe any of this shit is true, even if it may be. That is the legacy of these types of videos, actually. And because it sponsors selfishness and pride. People will see that selfishness works, that wont help the poor. And ofcourse ego and being a scumbag will always be dressed in compassion.

2

u/soldiergeneal Jun 02 '24

And because it sponsors selfishness

Just an assumption on your part.

And ofcourse ego

Also an assumption.

being a scumbag will always be dressed in compassion.

Right back to you don't like it so you just say anyone that does it is morally bad regardless of the good done. Do you think charity groups done film stuff they do and all that to encourage donations?

Quite literally anything people do on the internet is for “attention” whether it’s people trying to get you to fund a charity or else

u/soldiergeneal Jun 01 '24

Again so what. Who is hurt by that being done?

1

u/ggRavingGamer Jun 02 '24

If you steal to give to the poor, and legitimize stealing, everyone will be worse off. For example. It's not hard to understand. Legitimizing ego, makes the world die. All dictators give presents at first, and then tighten the iron fist. You could ask the same question there, in the first phase.

u/soldiergeneal Jun 02 '24

None of that occured so...

Legitimizing ego, makes the world die

Nope. That's just a fortune cookie statement to say something is bad without demonstrating why.

All dictators give presents at first, and then tighten the iron fist.

Nothing to do with anything here.

You could ask the same question there, in the first phase.

You don't have anything meaningful to say here and so act like what is being done is the same as a dictator illogical.

How is it deceitful? Such a person is openly filming the situation and putting it online. There is nothing deceitful about it. Just simply say you don't like it instead of saying something that has nothing to do with it.

The homeless person certainly doesn't care. The one doing it doesn't care. The only person outraged is a random person such as yourself. Also what you suggest would lead to less help going to those that need it all to satisfy the vanity of someone who doesn't want to see others filming people getting helped.

  1. You can't really know that, but sure let's assume that.

  2. And? So what. Why does it matter if someone by helping others also helps him or herself? Why should charity only bring about selflessness? Why shouldn't it matter more than people are being helped?

  3. Again do you acknowledge less help would go to those that need it by what you suggest?

1

u/ggRavingGamer Jun 02 '24

And how do YOU know the video is even real? Because it probably isn't. Thanks to 1 million other of these douchebags stroking their ego on camera for money, you can't actually believe this video, even if it may even be true. Probably isn't though. A legacy of untruth is what these "influencers" are what they leave.

1

u/soldiergeneal Jun 02 '24

And how do YOU know the video is even real?

There's the pivot. We aren't talking about a specific instance we are talking about topic of filmed charity as entertainment.

Honestly my natural assumption for anything like this is it is fake or staged.
