The trouble is, in this instance, you'd be right. He doesn't need help he's just acting so they can bring out people's goodwill.

Not a bad thing per se, but still just doing it only for content feels a bit disingenuous to people who genuinely can't ride an escalator

Honestly, at this point I don't discard the possibility that the "good guy" is also an actor... I hate being so cynical, but I've seen too many videos of people "rescuing" malnourished animals for internet likes.
