Can you really call it a "random act of kindness" when you set up a camera to record you giving someone money? Seems pretty planned and not at all random to me
I think giving someone cash like this on camera is pretty degrading to the person receiving it. I also can’t stand people that record themselves doing good deeds. It immediately shows that you’re doing it for you, not out of altruism.
Okay but he’s showing kindness, he’s influencing others to help, he still gave the dude $500 whether it was on camera or not. I would much rather people go around recording themselves helping people out than not doing anything at all.
Check out all his videos. He does clearly get paid by YouTube to do these. But the people are random and he does it a decent amount in different ways

Please elaborate.
Why does it matter if the people giving the money away are not genuine when the people receiving the money are obviously surprised and show appreciation.
What else could he do? Just give it away without showing people what they are doing with the extra cash they have to give away? Then how would you know, and how would you have anything to complain about?
On the grand scale why does it matter to you what they do and how they do it? Who does it negatively affect?
I'm not saying it's not a kind thing to do. It's just not a random act of kindness. It's entirely planned. To your other points, yes he could do kind things while not posting it in YouTube and monetizing it. Just to be clear, my issue is with calling it a *random * act of kindness when it was clearly planned and recorded for posting online.
There is currently common use of "random" that is not actually random. Only a select few are pizza delivery drivers and calling a chosen establishment would narrow the selection and work shifts would further determine the individual and so on. Under common usage, I think you're right. Scientifically, you would have to assign every person on the planet a 1 or 0 by using a photon splitter. Then use the splitter to eliminate 1 or 0's, reassign and do again until one individual remains.
I agree with you, it's also how he gets paid so if he didn't make these videos, he couldn't keep giving random people awesome things that clearly make their day
This is going too far! This is an act of kindness only motivated by the idea of generating views or likes. In other words, you monetize true emotions. Even if the guy is happy, doesn't it feel weird to you that people can even think about creating such videos only for the sake of views? To me it's just insane and truly sad.
100% what is wrong with people. Random act of completely planned and filmed "kindness" which BTW involves you being humiliated on the internet. You're welcome.
