The video went viral, and the kid raised $14k for the band

I had no idea! That’s an amazing story! I had to share in these trying times, to hopefully make others smile. There is good in the world.

How is this properly made? Dude was doing something nice and said "hey, take a video of me doing this nice thing"

It's cool to see this, don't get me wrong. The way that kid ran inside made me happy.

But there's a but....

Buuuuuuut just do this shit every day. Find a way to be nice to your fellow human. Even if it's just complimenting someone's shoes. You get this experience in person.

It properly made me smile.

It wasn’t a comment on the production value of the video.

Ah okay! I wasn't quite sure what ya meant.

I think the practice of filming nice acts and posting it to the internet is dumb. I appreciate that this person is doing a nice thing though!

If you're reading this, do something like this tomorrow. Then just stew in it on your own. That will also properly make you smile 🥰

You saw where the filming of the nice act was responsible for raising 14k for the kids cause tho, right?

I agree. It’s honestly pretty blatant attention seeking. Reminds me of the people who video themselves giving cash to homeless folks. Like…just do it. No need to record it all on video and jerk yourself off.

I get the point, but look at what that little bit of vanity posting led to - a $20 donation became $14,000 for their cause! Sharing is kind of bragging, but if it also inspires something bigger, does that make it worthwhile?

And yet the video caused enough other people to also do this kindness that the boy managed to raise a ton of money. While yeah, some people may be recording good deeds for clout, even though some aren't, if it inspires others to do good as well, who cares?

This made me smile at first but then I went on the wife’s TikTok and realized this couple are evangelical transphobes
