Some youtuber who first gained fame counting to a million. Then he pivoted to posting videos of him doing large amounts of altruistic acts such as paying for people’s surgeries et al.

Beyond that I don’t know.

Altruistic implies he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart and got nothing out of it, when in reality he was making poverty porn for profit and to further his own career.

He’s also probably doing “altruistic acts” to defend himself against criticism.

Ehh, it’s better than “the person who can stay in the circle the longest wins 1 million”

How? How is directly and unashamedly exploiting poor people for views and profit (while promoting yourself as “self made” no less) better than whatever it is you’re referencing (presumably just another version of poor people being exploited for views and profit)??

Why do you feel the need to defend the indefensible?
