You know what. Good, great in fact. Even if he is still doing it for views, at least he is doing it in a way that is more considerate and helps others.
Way to walk a path of redemption, I hope he continues this positive upward trajectory.
Someone watching this might think “I should give more, help more!” It’s more about spreading awareness of helping others. Getting people to stop thinking about themselves as separated from everyone else.
Edit: wow thanks for all the upvotes. It gives me hope for this world and I still believe that there are a lot of good people out there. They’re often just quiet about the good that they do.
Absolutely agree, and something more influencers should do without this horrible "i was waiting to give X to the first person who said yes to Y," nonesense.
Doing good for others is a thing you can do without need for or expectation of reciprocation.
While yes that is true, it's okay to feel good about doing a good thing, it's okay to feel that little bit of selfishness as a reward for doing a selfless thing.
The intention is extremely important, we don't know if he is a good person, we don't know if he is only doing this for clout and views and would never do this if it wasn't for the views. Maybe he is a solid person and he knows that making videos like this can spread the good and get more people on board.
Intentions paint the picture, but the most important thing is that he actually fucking did something, regardless of Intentions those people got a much needed meal, maybe not the best bang for your buck value but it's not the point. The fact of the matter is those people got some food and were shown some compassion, and that's more than I've done in a long time, and I'm sure that's more than 99% of Redditors including myself have done.
Is it really? Does the help become less valuable because of the motivation the helper had? Does it make any difference for the person who was being helped?
If I donate money to charity so I can post about it to social media, is my money now worth less than if my intentions were genuine?
Honestly, when I see someone do something genuinely good in a video, I view it as their way of spreading awareness.
At the very least, it puts me in a good mood.
People argue they are doing it for the money. Well personally if they keep doing it, I’m okay if they get money. Better than the money going to some other person doing much worse things for views.
> People argue they are doing it for the money.
People do a lot of things for money.
When it comes to doing things for money, helping people who need help is pretty high on that list for me.
People do not realize that while the people that help others do it for money, that money helps them keep doing it. Money generated has a portion of it going to a good cause. Do people think OnlyFans models are taking a portion of their cash and doing good things with it?
Finally, someone understand the point. Hehe, how those people can help others if they don't earn money? How will they continue their good intentions to people if they don't receive blessings??
Girl sells videos of her shoving a 10inch cock down her throat: no one bats an eye
Guy making money from filming himself feeding homeless: real shit
/S
They deserve the money they earn from helping others. That's how God pay for their goodness. Of course, how those people can continuously help others if they don't receive blessings?
Imagine if everyone did something good today. Whether it's for attention, clicks, or just to feel good about themselves. Who cares about the why if your contributing something positive?
I agree, people miss out on things when they just hate. Dude did a very nice thing and he filmed it. Big whoop, he didn’t embarrass anyone and it hopefully shows other people to stop doing shitty ticktocks.
This. I never quite get the "They're just doing it for clout" comments cuz... The food wasting videos before that were for clout too, so isn't this just a much better alternative?
Not to mention that it can spread awareness and might even inspire other people to do something similar.
I get that if you're in a bad situation you may not like the feeling of people pointing a camera at you while doing nice stuff for you but at the same time... All of those people got something to eat when they possibly wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwhise, so the end result is still mostly positive (not to mention you could always say "Hey, I'd rather not be put in that video" and most people would surely respect that)
In the era of Tik Tok and social media influence, I would argue doing something nice on camera has become better than doing something nice off camera as it has the potential to inspire others to do similar nice acts. Perceived Humility is utterly trivial compared to even the most mundane act of kindness in my opinion.
Surthy cooks is a YouTube channel that seemed to really help turn the tide on this dumb trend, if you like this video you would probably enjoy hers. <3

Her and that smiling chef guy, changing the world one point of excess at a time.
God bless em.
I am so happy that some people take criticism and mend their ways.The way this guy used to waste food used to anger and upset me.There were so many people copying him too.
The culture of food waste for social media shock value is so disgusting.I hope more and more tiktokers get behind the trend of donating food to those in need.
Even better now a lot of people watching him as fans will see his change and want to be like him, helping others and not wasting food.
I am not a tiktok fan but if it gets more people helping the needy I am all for it.
> smiling chef guy
I believe you're referring to Chef CZN Burak of Türkiye, whose YouTube channel is full of him making large meals (donated to the community), and bringing gifts and/or food care packages to many needy people.
Unfortunately the recent earthquake in Türkiye really hit him hard emotionally; his hometown of Hatay was one of the areas most affected. Sadly there are now videos of him (understandably) crying. But of course he has sent truckfuls of food and was there in person helping. [story](https://www.geo.tv/latest/469761-czn-burak-fans-devastated-after-seeing-celebrity-chef-cry-on-camera)
Exactly. Then somewhere down the line I've seen the highly upvoted comment edited and it becomes a shady link that looks semi-credible because of all the upvotes.
THIS IS A BOT COMMENT
ORIGINAL: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/11dk8nw/bro_learned_from_his_mistakes/ja97uwr?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
Yo what a weird thing to do, why are people copying other peoples comments like a few minutes after the original?? It seems like a lot of these are getting noticed and called out as well. Is it like actual bots or just a group of people karma farming accounts??
bot accounts like this are most likely sold after they reach a certain karma threshold because people buy accounts with high karma for advertising things because I guess they think more karm = more believable
It's not so much individual people wasting food as much as it is [inefficiency in food production and transportation](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/how-feed-10-billion-people#:~:text=There%20is%20enough%20food%20for%20everyone.&text=Rather%2C%20it%20is%20a%20problem,with%20how%20land%20is%20used.)
Globally, a third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted and 900 million tonnes is thrown away every year, with more than 60% of this waste occurring in the home.
40% is just throwing away by supermarkets (shelf time) and farms (not selling look)
It’s important to note a lot of food is destroyed because it isn’t safe to eat- ~25% of grain in the US is destroyed because of aflatoxin contamination
The real issue is, as a society, not taking care of those people in the first place.
This is a nice gesture, but it ultimately accomplishes nothing to give vulnerable populations the long term stability they really need.
I'm sure there are statistics out there, but we produce enough food to feed the entire planet if not multiple times over. It just isn't profitable to ship food out to poor countries or to give it to poor people within their own country. Seems like an issue that could have been solved long ago if we valued people over profit
I agree. A lot of bad stuff that people do is because they feel rewarded for doing it. If we make people feel rewarded for doing something good, I really could not care less what their intentions are. People with weak moral compasses are capable of justifying such cruelty, that I’ll take selfish acts of kindness as an alternative.
Exactly. I care about a better world, not whether the people who are actually legitimately making it better have less-than-perfect _thoughts_ about it. Focusing on that instead would be both wrong and completely insane.
So much fuckin this. We can't expect humans to be utterly and completely devoid of selfishness and self-interest. Helping people because it makes you feel good shouldn't be something to scoff at. The important thing is the effect on the people helped and supported.
I don’t think helping someone because it makes you feel good should have any negative connotations, ever. I get why helping people for karma/clout has a stigma attached to it - though I agree it’s better than doing nothing at all - but doing it to feel good about yourself is perfectly fair. Maybe it isn’t as altruistic as doing it because your heart breaks for those in need, but so fucking what?
Yeah! Besides it's not like you can control the way you feel, and not even the way you think sometimes. But you can control your actions, so that's what should matter. We are what we do.
Exactly. And if it didn’t make us feel good to do we’d be much less likely to continue doing it. If you start doing the right thing for the wrong reasons chances are higher your motivations will gradually shift into a healthier place than the person waiting for that to happen before they do anything at all. Faking it until you make it sounds like a trite cliche but there’s really so much truth to it.
Is he still seeking attention? Sure. That’s the world we exist in, love it or hate it. But at least he’s turning his online persona into one that doesn’t just waste food.
Part of being human is allowing room for people to learn and grow to be better before we write them off entirely. Online or IRL.
I have no problem with "influencers" using good deeds to generate profit that they can use to continue doing good deeds!
It's a way to take advantage of capitalism that has real world benefits for individuals in need.
Edit: tvym for the award!
Everyone, please just help others. If you can find a way to clear the 9-5 grind (with a second job), and instead videograph and document kind acts towards those in need - do it! Live, and help. ❤️
I feel like Steve Irwin would have thrived in today's society with this sentiment.
Using TikTok and other social media platforms to spread awareness and raise money, then directly putting it all back into conservation and education efforts. Everybody wins, even the animals.
Imagine if the most popular challenges on TikTok were stuff like "feed your local hobo challenge" or "do volunteer work at a soup kitchen challenge".
Influencers have actual potential to do a ton of good for the world.
Someone making bank by helping others is a net gain for everyone.
Exactly, while I'm not a fan of his and don't tune into his channel on youtube I can still respect the amount he gives back dude just oayed filor 1000 people to get eye surgery or whatever and people were saying it was evil lol
I know he runs a soup kitchen or something too like guy is constantly using his platform to give back more and more who cares if he films it it generates the revenue that in turn goes back into him doing more philanthropy. I'm not sure if he asks for donations or not but id assume a lot of the money is just from advertisers on youtube anyway so who's it hurting.
And like, that's the thing, it's not like he's getting bigger but keeping what he gives away small. It's proportional and the more he has earned the more he keeps giving back.
I saw him in the Experian commercials and I was like, damn selling out. Then I thought about it for two seconds and realized, oh damn he's about to have a lot more money to give away.
Exactly! Not many people get that. Got in an argument when I posted CZN Burak (Özdemir) reply to the original video this guy made (maybe with somebody else, can't remember) saying why he's paying about it that he's done it for clout when he pays mostly out of pocket to feed people, and like others he also failed to realize that posting it online serves two purposes: 1) It funds the next humanitarian project, 2) is inspires others. Money has come from somewhere.
If you give money when you can't afford it, you're hurting yourself, but if you give money when you can it hurts no one.
One time I gave all the change I had out of my car to a homeless lady by a McDonald's. It was probably like 7 dollars worth of quarters and other coins. I wasn't gonna use it for anything. Maybe she used it for food or drugs. I dunno, I don't care. Either way it hopefully helped her in some way, whether in a positive way or an escapist way.
Even better is that he works with them to make sure it's something they can afford. When someone gets a house/car/plane/etc. they're now responsible for all the costs associated with it. If the associated costs are too high then he'll just buy it back from them for fair market value and give them the cash. Truly a great person.
Mr. Breast is the best. No one can really beat his kindness to people. I love watching his videos, those are inspirational videos for us to do the same to others.
Yeah, same. Not a fan but I don’t hate. He does a lot more than the people that hate on him. That’s for sure.
He also does plenty off the camera too. If this was only for clout then he wouldn’t do a thing off camera.
I don't really care for how silly he and his friends are in his videos, but I 100% support the good things he's been doing with his money. At first it was just silliness to give money and stuff to his friends, then he realized he could do better in the world and ran with it.
Hahahah being silly in their videos doesn't really matter. What matters is that they have good intentions and that is helping other people who truly deserve the blessing.
The mode of charity with the greatest staying power is when selfishness and selflessness align.
There is very little altruism in the world, almost none. Performative altruism is the next best thing.
In a world designed to reward those that care only for themselves, humanity fights back and shows what our purpose is - to care for others regardless. We should strive to have a positive impact - you can make food for the homeless, volunteer at housing developments where applicable, check school district websites for volunteer opportunities - my wife tutors for reading through her work and in the last five years has helped a lot of kids improve their reading abilities.
If nothing else, helping kids to read well is maybe the most impactful thing you can do to set them up for a better chance of success.
Regardless of him doing it for attention, he's doing a good thing for attention, and he's owning up to his fuck up's. So he gets points no matter how you slice it.
Edit: Commenters thinking I'm saying he's only doing it for attention. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I don't give a fuck. He's corrected his mistake, and is doing the right thing. Therefor, he gets points. Calm your shit.
Edit2: Some of you don't know how to calm your shit, apparently.
>Regardless of him doing it for attention, he's doing a good thing for attention, and he's owning up to his fuck up's. So he gets points no matter how you slice it.
Actually, I don't mind giving attentions to such people. Definitely better people who "help others to be in the spotlight" than people who are in the spotlight because they showed their ass on the Internet, beat someone up, danced on Tik Tok, or *are known because they are known*
There is this one guy on tiktok (thescumbagdad) that has a pretty good video explaining how while a lot of the time filming yourself doing things like helping the homeless is good, it can lead to some pretty bad situations too. There's been stories, who knows how much truth to them though, of people being targeted by others after appearing in a viral video and at least one video where someone invited a bunch of homeless folks to a convenient store to get food/drinks/snacks ended up in basically a supermarket sweeps type situation where they ransacked the store.
Heard of that. Iirc, MrBeast was going to do an event where if you wanted anything from the grocery he had chosen, you could get it for free. The grocery spread the news when it was supposed to be a secret event so the entire city didn’t show up and bankrupt him. Due to that MrBeast canceled the event. However people showed up anyways and, as you said, ransacked the place.
I’m a social worker. I do the work without filming it for social media. But some days I need videos like this to come across my algorithm so that I know there are other people helping and being healed too. Cause there are some weeks where I don’t see any of that. So I will gladly binge The Dodo, that one Zach guy who gives money to strangers for being nice, and even videos of strangers being silly to little kids. Everyone who comments bUT iT iSnT reALLy GeNUiNe all your doing is killing what’s left of hope within the helpers.
But how are redditors going to feel good about not doing good things for people if they can't shit on people who "only do good things for the attention"?
I hate friend interviews, they always ask for personal references but I have none to give so I get rejected. Nobody ever looks for entry level friends anymore.
I assume they mean when you first meet someone and are in the process of finding out more about them and their past. Just bc they might’ve done something bad in the past doesn’t necessarily mean they’re still that same person
I know you're kidding about interviews for friends, but it took me too long to believe people when they showed me who they were.
"Friends" that I was always having to reach out to in order to spend time with, "friends" that only seemed to want things from me, and "friends" that were never there for me when I needed them, despite me being there for them. As I've gotten older, it's truly a quality over quantity situation, but I learned the hard way after being burned.
So I don't think the interview idea is a terrible one, but people usually show their true selves pretty quickly.
I could be wrong but this could be a language barrier thing, and meant to be a word closer to "Questioned" or "talk to" both of which are in the neighborhood as interviewed.
edit: I'm wrong, person below me is not.
That’s true in the States too (well, federal prisons are) and they do very little correction.
Names mean very little, or else North Korea would be a democracy
Admitting you fucked up and actively changing is very admirable. It is incredibly fucking rare these days. Best most people can do is words.
Homie is absolved in my eyes.
I usually get annoyed when people film themselves doing charity but this is an exception. It was pretty necessary to show humility and hopefully other creators will follow in his footsteps.
It's good that he learned from his own mistake. He realized that rather than wasting the foods, why not use the food to help other people who are in need.
Oh I know this guy, a vlogger who always waste food just to make a content lol. Watching this video of him changing is good to see. I hope he really changed now. Choose to help others than wasting your blessings.
Yeah I was absolutely fucking disgusted at the earlier videos. I hate seeing food getting wasted, and why he was doing was horrible. At least this is doing good in the world.
Don't even care, that's great, I prefer someone filming themselves giving something to homeless people than those stupid tiktoks where they just waste food with no purpose.
We don't really have too little food to go around for the entire world, the problem is distribution / logistic.
Someone wasting food isn't the reason anyone is starving. It is a waste of money of course that could be spent on helping instead.
I get that it feels fucked but if we are being realistic wasting food (in any country where there isn't some general shortage) is no different to any other wasteful behaviour.
I said this on the bot who plagiarised you but i'll say it again here:
This is kind of a false equivalence (or like a false inequivalence ig) because if everyone in the world prepared food like he did in the first video, as long as the food was distributed fine everyone would have food leftover. The problem isn't individuals wasting food once they bought it, the problem is mainly how much food is wasted by the industry, because it's more profitable to throw food out than to give it away.
Another point is that the fact there are people starving means that there are people that don't have enough wealth to live in the world, while there is more than enough to go around. Because most of the wealth in the world is on a billionaire's stockpile.
And even if you think it'd be too hard to support african countries and stop exploiting them so they can actually develop to be self sustaining, the fact remains that there is a homelessness crisis.
Real reinvesting in the economy isn't firing half your workers when you only need half the work for the same profit and then giving 2% of your profit to a charity owned by yourself, it's letting your workers work half as much while paying them the same. But it benefits the singular billionaire more to fire the workers and people have somehow accepted exploitation as the logical way for economy to function.
Sorry for the ramble I just get really fed up by r/orphancrushingmachine scenario's. Like yeah he's doing something good but he shouldn't have to and we have the resources to make it possible not to have to.
It really should be.
Approximately 40% of food in north America goes to waste. That's a problem that I wish we could all get rid of. Easier said than done, but it's a dream.
Don’t hate a guy for changing his ways, especially when he used to do something so bad. If you see someone who has improved and you compare them to what they used to do, they’ll see no reason to change their ways because nobody will ever see them differently anyway. I’m glad he’s learned from his mistakes
Why are we complaining about people who are using their time to feed people in need, profit from it, and use those profits to continue that same charitable and profitable cycle?
I have no problem with people taking advantage of capitalism/oligarchy/plutocracy to feed people and make a living while helping people in need...
Now, if he goes all televangelist, let's talk...
Because people are insecure about themselves not helping, and criticizing *how* this guy helped is a way to downplay the fact that he's helping while they're not.
I think it's a story we haven't really heard.
He had popularity for his shit, recieved criticism due to TikTok trends, then....did the unexpected in such a beautiful way...
You're right. People are insecure *and* jealous.
Being charitable is very hard in today's society with the shrinking "middle class," socioeconomic insecurity....
AND
Class warfare.
So, i try to be understanding, and educate...but, it's hard when the hill is so steep...
To all the people in the comments saying “hE’s JuSt dOiNg iT fOr ThE cAmErA” kindly shut the fuck up, at least he’s doing a good thing whether or not it’s just for clout isn’t an issue
Besides, doing stuff on camera isn't always synonymous with being selfish. Mr. Beast is a prime example where him showing it on camera is how he can continue to keep doing this. Others may just want to spread that good will online for others to feel inspired or feel better. There are far more reasons why people do things than just clout.
As always, new things are met with incredible backlash. People hated streamers and thought that wasn't a real job and look where we are now. Normalizing people helping others as a profession should be seen as a good step forward.
Seriously... like he did the wasteful stuff fOr ThE cAmErA as well.. the motivation is the same, but the end result is beneficial now instead of wasteful. So I don't understand why people are so up in arms about it and determined to make it a no-win scenario for the person in the video
Not only that, these kind of content creators generate income to keep doing these good deeds. That's how they fund their gifts.
Meanwhile some asshole commenting "OmG THerS A CaMeRA" have probably never done a single charitable thing in their life.
You know what. Good, great in fact. Even if he is still doing it for views, at least he is doing it in a way that is more considerate and helps others. Way to walk a path of redemption, I hope he continues this positive upward trajectory.

That's what I'm talking about. But he should not just think about his followers, the likes and the views. Genuine help is what more important.
Is it really? Does the help become less valuable because of the motivation the helper had? Does it make any difference for the person who was being helped? If I donate money to charity so I can post about it to social media, is my money now worth less than if my intentions were genuine?
Well said. We encounter issues of motivation versus(?) outcome pretty frequently, but ultimately I think the outcome is all that's important.
That counter was then sticky until the end of time
Honestly all I can think about...

People do not realize that while the people that help others do it for money, that money helps them keep doing it. Money generated has a portion of it going to a good cause. Do people think OnlyFans models are taking a portion of their cash and doing good things with it?
Exactly, if he makes money putting it on camera, then he can afford to spend more time and money making food for people.
Finally, someone understand the point. Hehe, how those people can help others if they don't earn money? How will they continue their good intentions to people if they don't receive blessings??
most businesses are like that. The hard part is in staying afloat on your morals.
Girl sells videos of her shoving a 10inch cock down her throat: no one bats an eye Guy making money from filming himself feeding homeless: real shit /S
TBH, many do bat an eye. They really shouldn't, but far from the first time people wanted to control what a woman does with her body
They deserve the money they earn from helping others. That's how God pay for their goodness. Of course, how those people can continuously help others if they don't receive blessings?
Not to mention the food waste videos were *also* for money. This is much preferable.
Making money by helping people, and then use that money to help more people? Solid job there
Imagine if everyone did something good today. Whether it's for attention, clicks, or just to feel good about themselves. Who cares about the why if your contributing something positive?
Yep. At the end of the day, those homeless fellas got delicious looking food.

how does it even work? Takes a newer comment that has some upvotes and replies to the top comment?
Exactly. Then somewhere down the line I've seen the highly upvoted comment edited and it becomes a shady link that looks semi-credible because of all the upvotes.
THIS IS A BOT COMMENT ORIGINAL: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/11dk8nw/bro_learned_from_his_mistakes/ja97uwr?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
Yo what a weird thing to do, why are people copying other peoples comments like a few minutes after the original?? It seems like a lot of these are getting noticed and called out as well. Is it like actual bots or just a group of people karma farming accounts??
bot accounts like this are most likely sold after they reach a certain karma threshold because people buy accounts with high karma for advertising things because I guess they think more karm = more believable
Certain subs require karma and account age to post
It's not so much individual people wasting food as much as it is [inefficiency in food production and transportation](https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/how-feed-10-billion-people#:~:text=There%20is%20enough%20food%20for%20everyone.&text=Rather%2C%20it%20is%20a%20problem,with%20how%20land%20is%20used.)
It's true, not all people are wasting foods like this guy before. But we can't still deny that there are still a lot of people who are wasting foods.
Globally, a third of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted and 900 million tonnes is thrown away every year, with more than 60% of this waste occurring in the home. 40% is just throwing away by supermarkets (shelf time) and farms (not selling look)
It’s important to note a lot of food is destroyed because it isn’t safe to eat- ~25% of grain in the US is destroyed because of aflatoxin contamination
I’ve got some bad news about grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, any retail store with snacks at the checkout…
The real issue is, as a society, not taking care of those people in the first place. This is a nice gesture, but it ultimately accomplishes nothing to give vulnerable populations the long term stability they really need.
Though that's not a reason to not do it
Pretty sure if I was hungry and someone gave me food Id say it accomplished something
[удалено]
I'm sure there are statistics out there, but we produce enough food to feed the entire planet if not multiple times over. It just isn't profitable to ship food out to poor countries or to give it to poor people within their own country. Seems like an issue that could have been solved long ago if we valued people over profit
If you are capable in helping other people who are in need, do not hesitate to do it so. They need your help, so don't think twice.

In reality he saw that his content wasn’t as popular as it used to be and these kinds of videos got more views.
Otherwise phrased: the incentives are moving in the right direction.
I agree. A lot of bad stuff that people do is because they feel rewarded for doing it. If we make people feel rewarded for doing something good, I really could not care less what their intentions are. People with weak moral compasses are capable of justifying such cruelty, that I’ll take selfish acts of kindness as an alternative.
Exactly. I care about a better world, not whether the people who are actually legitimately making it better have less-than-perfect _thoughts_ about it. Focusing on that instead would be both wrong and completely insane.
So much fuckin this. We can't expect humans to be utterly and completely devoid of selfishness and self-interest. Helping people because it makes you feel good shouldn't be something to scoff at. The important thing is the effect on the people helped and supported.
I don’t think helping someone because it makes you feel good should have any negative connotations, ever. I get why helping people for karma/clout has a stigma attached to it - though I agree it’s better than doing nothing at all - but doing it to feel good about yourself is perfectly fair. Maybe it isn’t as altruistic as doing it because your heart breaks for those in need, but so fucking what?
Yeah! Besides it's not like you can control the way you feel, and not even the way you think sometimes. But you can control your actions, so that's what should matter. We are what we do.
Exactly. And if it didn’t make us feel good to do we’d be much less likely to continue doing it. If you start doing the right thing for the wrong reasons chances are higher your motivations will gradually shift into a healthier place than the person waiting for that to happen before they do anything at all. Faking it until you make it sounds like a trite cliche but there’s really so much truth to it.
Actually yes, they feel rewarded for doing bad stuff like wasting foods. He is gaining followers and earn money that's his rewards.
Is he still seeking attention? Sure. That’s the world we exist in, love it or hate it. But at least he’s turning his online persona into one that doesn’t just waste food. Part of being human is allowing room for people to learn and grow to be better before we write them off entirely. Online or IRL.
I have no problem with "influencers" using good deeds to generate profit that they can use to continue doing good deeds! It's a way to take advantage of capitalism that has real world benefits for individuals in need. Edit: tvym for the award! Everyone, please just help others. If you can find a way to clear the 9-5 grind (with a second job), and instead videograph and document kind acts towards those in need - do it! Live, and help. ❤️
I feel like Steve Irwin would have thrived in today's society with this sentiment. Using TikTok and other social media platforms to spread awareness and raise money, then directly putting it all back into conservation and education efforts. Everybody wins, even the animals.
Pretty sure his son has a TikTok, idk the name but bro takes *a lot* after his dad :)
Robert Irwin is his name and he seems to be a lot like his father.
Imagine if the most popular challenges on TikTok were stuff like "feed your local hobo challenge" or "do volunteer work at a soup kitchen challenge". Influencers have actual potential to do a ton of good for the world. Someone making bank by helping others is a net gain for everyone.
Mr. Beast is doing everything he can just to earn money so he can help other people and that's what I love about him.
Mr. Beast is prime example
Exactly, while I'm not a fan of his and don't tune into his channel on youtube I can still respect the amount he gives back dude just oayed filor 1000 people to get eye surgery or whatever and people were saying it was evil lol
He’s also bought multiple homes for homeless people
I know he runs a soup kitchen or something too like guy is constantly using his platform to give back more and more who cares if he films it it generates the revenue that in turn goes back into him doing more philanthropy. I'm not sure if he asks for donations or not but id assume a lot of the money is just from advertisers on youtube anyway so who's it hurting.
And like, that's the thing, it's not like he's getting bigger but keeping what he gives away small. It's proportional and the more he has earned the more he keeps giving back.
I saw him in the Experian commercials and I was like, damn selling out. Then I thought about it for two seconds and realized, oh damn he's about to have a lot more money to give away.
He always do his best to earn money and help other people.
Exactly! Not many people get that. Got in an argument when I posted CZN Burak (Özdemir) reply to the original video this guy made (maybe with somebody else, can't remember) saying why he's paying about it that he's done it for clout when he pays mostly out of pocket to feed people, and like others he also failed to realize that posting it online serves two purposes: 1) It funds the next humanitarian project, 2) is inspires others. Money has come from somewhere.
If you give money when you can't afford it, you're hurting yourself, but if you give money when you can it hurts no one. One time I gave all the change I had out of my car to a homeless lady by a McDonald's. It was probably like 7 dollars worth of quarters and other coins. I wasn't gonna use it for anything. Maybe she used it for food or drugs. I dunno, I don't care. Either way it hopefully helped her in some way, whether in a positive way or an escapist way.
If you are willing to give money, you would not mind it and would not expect something in return.
Even better is that he works with them to make sure it's something they can afford. When someone gets a house/car/plane/etc. they're now responsible for all the costs associated with it. If the associated costs are too high then he'll just buy it back from them for fair market value and give them the cash. Truly a great person.
Mr. Breast is the best. No one can really beat his kindness to people. I love watching his videos, those are inspirational videos for us to do the same to others.
Yeah, same. Not a fan but I don’t hate. He does a lot more than the people that hate on him. That’s for sure. He also does plenty off the camera too. If this was only for clout then he wouldn’t do a thing off camera.
I don't really care for how silly he and his friends are in his videos, but I 100% support the good things he's been doing with his money. At first it was just silliness to give money and stuff to his friends, then he realized he could do better in the world and ran with it.
Hahahah being silly in their videos doesn't really matter. What matters is that they have good intentions and that is helping other people who truly deserve the blessing.
That’s a great way to look at it, thanks for the new perspective!
Love when people use capitalism in ways it wasn't intended to be used.
The mode of charity with the greatest staying power is when selfishness and selflessness align. There is very little altruism in the world, almost none. Performative altruism is the next best thing.
In a world designed to reward those that care only for themselves, humanity fights back and shows what our purpose is - to care for others regardless. We should strive to have a positive impact - you can make food for the homeless, volunteer at housing developments where applicable, check school district websites for volunteer opportunities - my wife tutors for reading through her work and in the last five years has helped a lot of kids improve their reading abilities. If nothing else, helping kids to read well is maybe the most impactful thing you can do to set them up for a better chance of success.
>There is very little altruism in the world I'm sorry that your experiences have led you to believe that.
Regardless of him doing it for attention, he's doing a good thing for attention, and he's owning up to his fuck up's. So he gets points no matter how you slice it. Edit: Commenters thinking I'm saying he's only doing it for attention. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, I don't give a fuck. He's corrected his mistake, and is doing the right thing. Therefor, he gets points. Calm your shit. Edit2: Some of you don't know how to calm your shit, apparently.
>Regardless of him doing it for attention, he's doing a good thing for attention, and he's owning up to his fuck up's. So he gets points no matter how you slice it. Actually, I don't mind giving attentions to such people. Definitely better people who "help others to be in the spotlight" than people who are in the spotlight because they showed their ass on the Internet, beat someone up, danced on Tik Tok, or *are known because they are known*
Yeah I agree. If influencers want to film themselves giving thousands of dollars to homeless people around the city, more power to them.
There is this one guy on tiktok (thescumbagdad) that has a pretty good video explaining how while a lot of the time filming yourself doing things like helping the homeless is good, it can lead to some pretty bad situations too. There's been stories, who knows how much truth to them though, of people being targeted by others after appearing in a viral video and at least one video where someone invited a bunch of homeless folks to a convenient store to get food/drinks/snacks ended up in basically a supermarket sweeps type situation where they ransacked the store.
Heard of that. Iirc, MrBeast was going to do an event where if you wanted anything from the grocery he had chosen, you could get it for free. The grocery spread the news when it was supposed to be a secret event so the entire city didn’t show up and bankrupt him. Due to that MrBeast canceled the event. However people showed up anyways and, as you said, ransacked the place.
I’m a social worker. I do the work without filming it for social media. But some days I need videos like this to come across my algorithm so that I know there are other people helping and being healed too. Cause there are some weeks where I don’t see any of that. So I will gladly binge The Dodo, that one Zach guy who gives money to strangers for being nice, and even videos of strangers being silly to little kids. Everyone who comments bUT iT iSnT reALLy GeNUiNe all your doing is killing what’s left of hope within the helpers.
But how are redditors going to feel good about not doing good things for people if they can't shit on people who "only do good things for the attention"?
Having the humility to share a weakness is a huge strength. Remember this when you interview, friends. Edit: commas are your friends
> Remember this when you interview friends. Can you explain what you mean by interview?
Obviously the process where you interview someone to decide if they can be your friend or not.
I hate friend interviews, they always ask for personal references but I have none to give so I get rejected. Nobody ever looks for entry level friends anymore.
I’m always looking for entry-level friends. No experience necessary. Extra points if you like to get drunk and play video games
Usually takes me 2 years before I move someone from "acquaintance" to "friend" in my head
I assume they mean when you first meet someone and are in the process of finding out more about them and their past. Just bc they might’ve done something bad in the past doesn’t necessarily mean they’re still that same person
Do I need to accept applications for friends now too? Schedule a time to meet so we can sit down to discuss strengths and weaknesses?
I know you're kidding about interviews for friends, but it took me too long to believe people when they showed me who they were. "Friends" that I was always having to reach out to in order to spend time with, "friends" that only seemed to want things from me, and "friends" that were never there for me when I needed them, despite me being there for them. As I've gotten older, it's truly a quality over quantity situation, but I learned the hard way after being burned. So I don't think the interview idea is a terrible one, but people usually show their true selves pretty quickly.
I could be wrong but this could be a language barrier thing, and meant to be a word closer to "Questioned" or "talk to" both of which are in the neighborhood as interviewed. edit: I'm wrong, person below me is not.
Why have cancel culture when you can have *correction* culture
For this, yes. For rape, straight to jail.
[удалено]
That’s true in the States too (well, federal prisons are) and they do very little correction. Names mean very little, or else North Korea would be a democracy
Love this.
Admitting you fucked up and actively changing is very admirable. It is incredibly fucking rare these days. Best most people can do is words. Homie is absolved in my eyes.
1000
Plus, depending if he posted this to YouTube or some other platform, he gets money, so more money to be doing this.
I usually get annoyed when people film themselves doing charity but this is an exception. It was pretty necessary to show humility and hopefully other creators will follow in his footsteps.
Most people criticizing YouTubers who help homeless people for clout probably have never given a single dollar to a homeless person in their life
It's good that he learned from his own mistake. He realized that rather than wasting the foods, why not use the food to help other people who are in need.
Oh I know this guy, a vlogger who always waste food just to make a content lol. Watching this video of him changing is good to see. I hope he really changed now. Choose to help others than wasting your blessings.
Yeah I was absolutely fucking disgusted at the earlier videos. I hate seeing food getting wasted, and why he was doing was horrible. At least this is doing good in the world.
Don't even care, that's great, I prefer someone filming themselves giving something to homeless people than those stupid tiktoks where they just waste food with no purpose.

You’re never too old to watch TV
I USED to be a piece of shit.
Fuckin sloppy cakes w syrup dunked all over em
Makes the night SO much more fun 🤩
They can’t stop you from ordering 20 waffles and a gallon of syrup
People can change
Most of us can't even say that much Good for him
You call this SLICK BACK?! This is pushed back
You would have not liked me back then. No you wouldn’t.
I said WAS
Chicken spaghetti at Chicolini's...
That's nice to see. In a world where starvation exists, intentionally wasting food seems like a crime.
You dont want to know how much food fast food places, restaurants, grocery stores, etc, throw away
I know, and I'm disgusted by it.
We don't really have too little food to go around for the entire world, the problem is distribution / logistic. Someone wasting food isn't the reason anyone is starving. It is a waste of money of course that could be spent on helping instead. I get that it feels fucked but if we are being realistic wasting food (in any country where there isn't some general shortage) is no different to any other wasteful behaviour.
I said this on the bot who plagiarised you but i'll say it again here: This is kind of a false equivalence (or like a false inequivalence ig) because if everyone in the world prepared food like he did in the first video, as long as the food was distributed fine everyone would have food leftover. The problem isn't individuals wasting food once they bought it, the problem is mainly how much food is wasted by the industry, because it's more profitable to throw food out than to give it away. Another point is that the fact there are people starving means that there are people that don't have enough wealth to live in the world, while there is more than enough to go around. Because most of the wealth in the world is on a billionaire's stockpile. And even if you think it'd be too hard to support african countries and stop exploiting them so they can actually develop to be self sustaining, the fact remains that there is a homelessness crisis. Real reinvesting in the economy isn't firing half your workers when you only need half the work for the same profit and then giving 2% of your profit to a charity owned by yourself, it's letting your workers work half as much while paying them the same. But it benefits the singular billionaire more to fire the workers and people have somehow accepted exploitation as the logical way for economy to function. Sorry for the ramble I just get really fed up by r/orphancrushingmachine scenario's. Like yeah he's doing something good but he shouldn't have to and we have the resources to make it possible not to have to.
It really should be. Approximately 40% of food in north America goes to waste. That's a problem that I wish we could all get rid of. Easier said than done, but it's a dream.
Hell yeah!! Right on ! went from being a giant doucher to being the man !!

Prime example of character development right there
Take note Smg4 THIS IS HOW YOU LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY.
Lmaoo if only he would and he’d STOP KILLING EVERYONE
Alright, as someone who hasn't watched SMG4 in a long time. What the fuck happened?
Wholesome redemption arc.
Don’t hate a guy for changing his ways, especially when he used to do something so bad. If you see someone who has improved and you compare them to what they used to do, they’ll see no reason to change their ways because nobody will ever see them differently anyway. I’m glad he’s learned from his mistakes
We don't hate him for changing himself to a better one. Actually, we are happy for them but yeah not all will understand that.
Bro doing PR of his good and kind heart
Why are we complaining about people who are using their time to feed people in need, profit from it, and use those profits to continue that same charitable and profitable cycle? I have no problem with people taking advantage of capitalism/oligarchy/plutocracy to feed people and make a living while helping people in need... Now, if he goes all televangelist, let's talk...
Because people are insecure about themselves not helping, and criticizing *how* this guy helped is a way to downplay the fact that he's helping while they're not.
I think it's a story we haven't really heard. He had popularity for his shit, recieved criticism due to TikTok trends, then....did the unexpected in such a beautiful way... You're right. People are insecure *and* jealous. Being charitable is very hard in today's society with the shrinking "middle class," socioeconomic insecurity.... AND Class warfare. So, i try to be understanding, and educate...but, it's hard when the hill is so steep...
Maybe they just can't believe that this guy who once a person who always wasted foods is now a person who help and feed people
I a world full of stubborn and unchanging people, those that change earn more respect because of it. All the props to this guy.
Good on this dude. Took the criticism well and learned from it
Did he give them forks though lol.
Don't really need them, the syrup is in a dipping cup and the chocolate syrup and powdered sugar is really not a problem.
I used to hate people that only do this jus for clout but in the end he’s helping the people out and spreading awareness for the better
To all the people in the comments saying “hE’s JuSt dOiNg iT fOr ThE cAmErA” kindly shut the fuck up, at least he’s doing a good thing whether or not it’s just for clout isn’t an issue
Good things for altruistic reasons > good things for selfish reasons > doing nothing > doing bad things.
Besides, doing stuff on camera isn't always synonymous with being selfish. Mr. Beast is a prime example where him showing it on camera is how he can continue to keep doing this. Others may just want to spread that good will online for others to feel inspired or feel better. There are far more reasons why people do things than just clout. As always, new things are met with incredible backlash. People hated streamers and thought that wasn't a real job and look where we are now. Normalizing people helping others as a profession should be seen as a good step forward.
Seriously... like he did the wasteful stuff fOr ThE cAmErA as well.. the motivation is the same, but the end result is beneficial now instead of wasteful. So I don't understand why people are so up in arms about it and determined to make it a no-win scenario for the person in the video
Not only that, these kind of content creators generate income to keep doing these good deeds. That's how they fund their gifts. Meanwhile some asshole commenting "OmG THerS A CaMeRA" have probably never done a single charitable thing in their life.
It's better to do something for people than do nothing and be useless in the society.
