  It's performative, exploitative, self-serving and trashy in the extreme. >
  
  I say fuck it. As long as that person gets to keep what they gave them, it’s more I did the Christmas season. If 5% of tiktok did this to 2-5 people in a video that’d be 3,000,000-7,500,000 people helped. 
  Mr. Beast made this trend hyper popular as he made it a successful business model. 
  If someone wants to say “i made $20,000 of TikTok and want to give $500 of it back on camera” that’s wholesome in my eyes >
  
  I feel the same about ppl who post their dining-in receipts with a written in $100 tip. It’s pure virtual signaling, imo. I don’t believe it either, and think it’s staged. Same with some of these videos similar to what you’ve mentioned.
  If they’re so concerned about those who are less fortunate, then use the money towards, Angel Trees, or food banks. These types of organizations are able to spread $100 farther. >
