Many people have been duped by the hoax video:
"How Does A Homeless Man Spend $100?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUBTAdI7zuY&feature=youtu.be
Yet another lesson in critical thinking and using common sense. If you have been duped by the video and believed that this was a spontaneous setup without ulterior motives and prearrangement, then you still have to learn your lessons. Just take a look at the displayed number of views on 24th December only 2 days after uploading the video it shows 10,406,026 views!!! And only 6,794comments which is less than 0.07% of the alleged number views (and most probably many of the comments are also artificially generated). Are you serious? This is absolutely out of question, and a blatant artificial public opinion manipulation.
Why would they fake such a video, accompanied by a massive advertising campaign and fake the displayed popularity statistics? It is obvious, check out his fund rising campaign which has collected $49,996 in only 2 days and there are still 29 days left to collect more money! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-thomas-to-get-a-fresh-start
Then we have not spoken about the money they are raking in from the advertisements! So is there a valid motive for them to organize and execute such a hoax exploiting the compassion and emotions of the public? Sure there is, and it is measured in hard cash. I could go on to pick the hoax apart, but it is not necessary. There are many people who have done their lessons and being able to see through the veil of deception, made their warning comments under the video. Here are some educational comments that will dispel any doubts about the nature and purpose of the video:

STOP DELETING NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND FOOLING PEOPLE INTO THINKING THIS VIDEO IS LEGIT YOU PIECE OF S**T”

Clearly a hoax. Nice story though but it's easy to see it's a hoax. For starters, the homeless guy's bag when he receives the money is FULL and a minute later when he's walking down the street it's empty. Hmmmmmm. He's also standing on an island where cars can't stop to give him money??? Made for a nice feel good story and with almost 10 million views though, this youtuber is raking $$$$ it in.

The dude said theres still a lot of uncut footage, but yeah i wouldnt be surprise if this is a hoax. Every youtuber now just hires someone or gets a friend to play the innocent person.

Do you realise that in the end of EVERY FUCKING YEAR there's famous people and non-famous people donating and raising money to stop world hunger and end poverty...? I mean, there's shows showing "how much was raised tonight" and it's usually big sum of money, Millions , and does anything ever change? NO. Where does that money (Millions) go? People need to quit donating and actually start giving what they can to the poor or the less fortunate in person...If the people you want to help are in a different country then travel there and give them the money face to face because that's the only way your money will reach them, if you do it that way (I just don't trust any other type of way).”
Etc.
Did you also notice the suspiciously perfect timing to upload the video at Christmas when people are getting together with their families and boosting the mood of love, compassion, and feel good vibes? Lets open their purse, they are in the mood of spending anyway...
This hoax is closely related to my recent comment about 'PewDiePie' strategy which explains a method used by the Cabal to manipulate public opinion and stupefy people. You can read it here:
