Best Video I've Seen On Youtube In A While

whufcwesthamunited wrote:Not really that amazing at all.

It is highly likely that guy really doesn't care about him - probably doing it for money. This video is getting tons of views, he is getting tons of exposure; he is therefore making tons of money. This added exposure will make him more of an internet sensation (I have seen his other videos - the pranks he does - which are all fake by the way). So this guy has got internet famous from doing fake pranks and now seems to want to make even more money. What happens after this video? Do you think Vitaly will keep in touch with this homeless guy? That is what a charity would do but I don't think he would.


Additionally it is incredibly obvious the homeless man has been told what to say at times. Yeah I am making assumptions but based on Vitaly's history and the fact that I am not being a thick 14 year old forum member and actually able to ponder his motives; something many are not capable of doing (in other words not just immediately associating a good deed with being a good person - think back to Kony 2012), I feel he isn't as great person as you want to believe.


I've done things from my own heart to help people less fortunate than myself, but personally I didn't want to film it even if it would get me a lot of internet coverage. Did he even need to film this? Surely he could have just done these 'kind acts' without a camera being there to record it. The only possible benefit I can think of from filming this is that people may start to recognise this homeless man and help him more than they would have done if this video was not made. However I am sure this wasn't the reason behind Vitaly deciding to film the video. There are plenty of more inspiring videos out there than this one to be honest and they are recorded for a legitimate reason.

Regardless of what you think his motive was, this man will find work now because of this video. Vitaly basically advertised what he can do for work in front of millions and millions of people. People from that area will be in touch with this guy very soon. And let's just say Vitaly doesn't care about that guy at all, the man still got $350+ of free clothes, a shower, a bed to sleep in for a couple of days, and a good meal. This guy will remember this day for the rest of his life and smile every time he thinks of it. People who watch this are going to be inspired to do something nice for someone even if it is something small. It's like a chain reaction of good deeds. If rappers can make money making videos on Youtube with bitches on their laps then I don't see a problem with a guy making money off of helping someone less fortunate than him. This was a great idea and I hope he does more of these in the future.

 He won't necessarily find work. Vitaly basically has seen other videos of people doing very similar things and those videos got lots of exposure so he did the same. You are just trying to look for the positive side of this rather than looking at it realistically. People who watched that should have already been caring and generous for those who need help. I thought that was the whole point of parents and education. Lets say if 10+ people have just watched this video, do you think any of them have helped a homeless man after this video was created? You can't compare two negatives like that - the rappers are in the wrong and so is he. It was a great idea but the way it seems he has gone about it for his own personal gain makes it wrong. Just do it with a camera off and in your 'private life' as opposed to in your 'media life'.

But those are all just assumptions. He could be a really good person who was genuinely just trying to help this man. And yes I do believe that out of the millions of people who watched and will watch this video, at least a few of them will go out of their way to help someone in need. Also, neither of us know whether or not he was doing it for his own personal gain or not. All I know is that it was a great thing to do for that man and he will forever be grateful for what happened on that day. And I don't agree that he shouldn't have filmed it and just kept it private. Great people like Mother Teresa were filmed many times doing good deeds like this. It doesn't make it bad.

Did you just compare the fact that Mother Teresa was filmed doing good deeds with this video? 

I'm done with this. There is so much I could write but it just isn't worth it.

He already made 10.9k out of the 2.5k goal. Says he's getting his teeth pulled or some shit. I sure hope Vitaly doesn't record it when they go to the dentist or anything then he'd be a real dick and doing it all for exposure!

 I was giving my opinion on why I didn't think it was a good video at all. Is that not allowed? Am I only allowed to write a positive comment on a 'positive' video? Am I not even allowed to give my opinion at all?

And just generally speaking, a lot of the forum members here are very young (which I do not have a problem with at all because obviously they cannot control when they were brought into this world) but it is just the combination of 1) really immature comments and 2) naivety that gets on my nerves.

Seen it before I made my initial post. It still does not make me change my mind about the video but I really don't feel the need to explain my views (call this a bitch move if you really want)
