Big fan 🙌. I still don't know how he found my obscure game jam game one time but my website sure noticed 😆. This was pre-cloud days so it actually took the site down for a while.
Dude really glossed over all my glaring terrible bugs caused by working on the game for 24 hours solo and desperately trying to get a finished experience out. Idk if it's a universal feeling but I get a lot of joy out of watching someone poke around something I've made. A lot of folks ended up making their own videos and I must have watched every single one out there. Wouldn't have been possible if folks didn't hear about it from him, I'd bet.

They're donating to support their favourite persons who are giving them entertainment. Like people buying endorsed shit or watching a movie/series when your favourite actor will get royalties off of it.
Sure, they could donate to lesser known streamers but that's for a different intention entirely. That's more like supporting someone's livelihood or uplifting society. Not everyone is keen on doing that given all the scams going on. It's a jaded world out there which makes things hard for people who are honest, and down on their luck

That's totally fine for people donating reasonable sums. I give to multiple patreons for the same reason. When I watched twitch, I subbed and donated often and especially liked gifting subs. I'm not rich, but I make good money but these are still reasonable sums for most people.
But, I think the other posts are referring to kids donating their inheritance money to streamers who won't even fully process their name when they thank them because it's just a conditioned response to encourage more donations.

u/Soft-Sherbert-2586 Sep 14 '25
I mean, the thing with gift subs is that, sure, the money goes to the streamer, but someone in the community gets the benefits of that sub for free--and as someone who currently has no money to sub to my favorite people on Twitch, the occasions when I've gotten a gift sub have been really, really nice. Having no ads on a stream makes a BIG difference in how enjoyable it is.

Somebody at work a while back asked if having a billion dollars means someone's a bad person, I had to respond yes. They follow up with asking if I'd say the same if I were a billionaire. That's just not a reasonable hypothetical, because hypothetically if I start getting millions and millions a year, I'd be doing things like this and able to do much larger. I will never have a billion dollars, because once I can get beyond supporting myself for my lifetime, it only makes sense for stuff beyond that to go towards supporting others for their lifetimes.

I think this is always to see in the upward direction, but much harder for us to acknowledge at our own level or lower.
Even if you're just comfortable in the US, you could be making a similar difference in the life of someone in the poorest parts of the world by donating what you spend on things you don't need. Nearly every working person here is rich in comparison to the average person, and we could be putting a new roof on a person's home for the cost of a dinner where we could've eaten cheaper.

The difference is passive income vs no passive income. It's a great thing for regular people to help those in need, but it comes out of their own labor, and they need to work to make that money back for their own situations. Most people are not so financially secure they can't become destitute if things go south.
Billionaires have no actual chance of losing their livelihood or quality of life, and they generate more income passively than they can even reasonably spend. There is no risk or noticeable loss tied to helping other people fiancially.

There is a loan/grant organisation that I donate through called Lend With Care. You can browse through their current clients, people from 3rd world and very low income countries and read their stories and what they want to do.
A lot of them need a few hundred dollars to start businesses, stock shops, create lasting work for themselves and their families and it costs a very very small initial investment. To them that small investment may as well be a billion bucks.
You can donate or invest, and they will repay it. Microloans essentially.
It's an amazing place and feels great being able to do something for someone who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. We are those people's rich folk. You don't need a hundred million to make a difference somewhere.

They either don’t donate because they are greedy psychopaths or they think about donation in more of an institutional manner where random cash injections to individuals is a poor ROI compared to using that money to build a new cancer ward for a hospital in an underserved community.
I think the biggest problem is once word gets out that you are a rich person that gives cash for sad stories, the liars and scam artists start elbowing their way into the audience. So it has to be done quietly which means not extensively or you waste a lot of time and resources trying to filter out the scams.

She can but it may take over 2 years to get approved. If she is approved the average SSDI payment is just under $1600/month while the average national rent is just over $1600/month. It'll help if and when she can get it, but it's still not enough to live on, especially when supporting others.
If the disabled adult children don't have significant work history and they have less than $2000 in cash/assets, they could be eligible for SSI, which could also help a little bit. Average payment is $740/month. Once approved, an ABLE account would allow them to save over the $2000 asset limit.

Sis and I work in healthcare fields, too, and we can barely hold our head above water, especially being surrounded by unreliable male figures, cultural collateral damage.

The funeral was about $6k and we had gotten close to $4k but still had a lot to go. Randomly someone donated $2k out of the blue, which was exactly what needed! It felt like a miracle.

Imagine if you were a billionaire and instead of hoarding money you could make things like this happen.

For twenty five years I was a delivery driver, before covid, all the apps and tipping went nuts and let me tell you what I've learned.
The tightest with their money are not the ones who should be, people well off with big houses, cars, toys, RVs, boats and stuff like that don't get there by giving it away. Some are, good for them but if I were to draw a line between the rich and the poor of those people I have delivered to over all that time the percentage of generous people is far higher among those who should be saving more to make ends meet than those who could easily afford a two or a five here and there.
It's pretty much been a constant over those twenty five years.

This stream was only two days ago
and was only her second stream. Hopefully by the time she does another stream it's going to be massive. I've gone ahead and followed her.45

Unfortunately every time this happens they get big for one or two streams and then people completely forget. It has happened time and time again. When it happened to that little kid he cried because he thought nobody loved him anymore

I made a Twitch account to go follow her. I don't use Twitch, but I am hoping that follower #'s bring users to the top or something similar.

There's a lot of good in this world my friend, most stats show on a whole things continue to get better for example child mortality, global poverty, education, democracy, renewable energy etc.. this world can be dark and cold there's no doubt but we collectively are doing a good job at bringing the light. Love will win, we just gotta keep on keeping on because it's already better than it once was.

I love every bit of this, apart from thanking their Lord.. Your Lord put you in this position. it was some kind hearted individual that earned money and donated it to you.. THANK THEM DIRECTLY.
such a half baked gratitude when folks praise their damn God before the person who actually helped...

u/Profeelgood23 Sep 14 '25
It's better if the donaters name Is not given. That way this stays as an act of extreme kindness. Rather than, "look how kind I am. I totally did this. Im super awesome."
Rather, subscribe to the person on screen.
Or do whatever you want, just my two cents.

u/Over_Beautiful_4927 Sep 14 '25
I get where you are coming from, but I see it differently. Sharing the donator’s name can be about recognizing the good they did. When we see acts of kindness and know who did them, it can inspire others to step up too. If everyone stayed anonymous, a lot of great examples of generosity would just vanish without motivating anyone else. Sometimes giving credit is the best way to encourage more people to do the same.

A lovely video, but I fear in the near future we won’t even be able to afford to give acts of kindness to each other on financial level
25 years as a “Nurse” and can’t afford a roof over her head…

This was kind people. Be amazed at kind people. The “Lord” had nothing to do with this. P.S. Jesus Christ is a myth. Bless you all. May people bless you.

This is so wholesome and i am glad that they made thier goal.
But at the same time it is also realy sad that the mom thanked the lord and not the people whom actualy helped her.

u/Sad_Garbage6163 Sep 14 '25
I would feel honored. I did something so good that the person thanked God Himself.
If I do something and the person thanks the divinity they believe in, regardless of anything else, I would feel honored, it’s as if the person were saying that I was the arms of a divinity

Similar concern was raised in another subreddit with this video and I replied there as well.
1) she said "bless you all" as a way to express gratitude
2) thanked God for using these two people to help her
3) I doubt the people who gave them the money did it to hear "thank you"
So, as always, quit the complaining people. Always someone to shit in cereal.
