Isn’t that false advertising of some sort? Pretty sure that’s extremely illegal…but I also think indiegogo payments supercede this rule in that they are donations, not purchasing something. Although the guy totally scammed a ton of people. I would watch his back if I were him. Just sayin.
Sick of seeing this GD video. Nothing but trying to get views is what this youtuber did.
Kind of obvious to me he achieved more than views. He helped change one man’s life, who in turn, changed others’ lives for the better. Mr Weather, I’d be happy to run a story about you if you do anything similar, OK? I’ll be waiting, Mr. Weather – or is it really Mr. Scrooge?
No one needs to run a story about me I’m already known and famous for what I do. However this is all too familiar where these “prank YouTubers” try to ‘prank’ homeless people thinking they’ll do something worth seeing (bad) and then come out with something like that. The plan from this ‘YouTuber’ (aka idiot) all along was so the guy could buy beer and have it caught on tape, not what happened.
His initial motive was BAD and deceptive. This isn’t a story, this is an advertisement …
Another fake story from another fake contributor.
Strange how they’re always “women” with “attractive” profile pics? Turn that 180 degrees and you’ll find who these “contributors” really are.
Usually some obese male who’s an employee of Alex Jones. That must be one busy office.
I am so sick of “reality TV”. Even the so called reality shows are scripted and fake. This has been revealed over and over. My guess is this was all set up….the guy is probably a friend of the guy filming it, and not homeless. Smart people can see right through this.
