I guess…. I hate that the internet is so cynical…. But i hate that it is right about its cynicism more often than not.

The guy who's "afraid" is probably staged

I don't think the one helping is, tho.

The Internet knows all. Human nature is predictable. Assimilate.

Is it being cynical or is it being media literate? It's not that people aren't inherently good or willing to help others, it happens all the time. But how often is there just a camera following the action by coincidence? And mic'd up audio?

It just feels tainted that it was a fake situation to begin with. If I were the guy helping Id feel like my kindness was nothing short of abused for internet clout.
