BuzzFeed reached out to Rahat and learned that, in addition to the cash, he put the homeless man in a hotel for two weeks, gave him a bike and got him clothes and a hot meal.

I trust the video was real.....That my fellow LPers is what generosity in this country is about. 1 person doing a good deed to help another in times of need. No government mandate in that act of kindness.

That was a very nice gesture on both parties. I would have been concerned about the safety of the homeless man after being exposed on YouTube.

What we *do* defines us; not what what they say about us...

I wonder how many people will be inspired and act upon that inspiration because of a 3 minute video. What a beautiful story.

Not sure your figures are correct; I read an article about revenue from YT ads a few months ago and it's not as lucrative as that. The Charlie Bit My Finger vid generated over four hundred million hits and made something like $150k. It also depends on how the channel was monetized and what ads are displayed.

good one ,BUT ,the reality is the homeless guy is the true good guy and the other guy is doing it as a business - for the you tube views.Guess what you ytube pays for subscribers and viewers,so his game plan was produce quality videos and more people will watch..he don't care about the 1k he gave away.He will get 10.000$ at least based on views alone and adding subscribers. He already has 3million subscribers already... IT'S 3-4$/subscriber the on going rate on you tube ,and about 1000$ for ever... [ More ]

Great video. The guy who performed this will definately have a visit from Karma. Good to see this, kind of restores a little faith back in humanity..
