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.

The delivery guy is random, no?

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.
