I really don't see the big deal with this video. The only thing I can say is that this video should've been a lot longer, as everyone is saying that there's a lot more to this country than shown here, and that it would've been nice to see him give stuff to people in the video itself to see their reactions.
It's not that bad. Keep in mind these hype content creators are watched by privileged kids used to RU-vidrs showing off expensive stuff and that affording such stuff makes you cool.
No, it’s human zoo tourism. Where privileged people want to see poor people as animals and see how they feed themselves or live to entertain their disdain.
It's truly ignorant of him to think that poverty didn't exist before he took this trip. It just goes to show how much more we need to educate ourselves and be more aware of the world around us
of course he knew poverty existed. he literally said he's going to the poorest country. he knew the concept, but not its depth. i take it as he knew the idea, but didn't know the extent of it. sometimes we all don't really know until we fully immerse ourselves in it.
@@jorami4838 knowing and experiencing are two things. Most people "know" there are poor people, a lot fewer actually go to them or try to help them. But I do get it, this guy does it for the views, not the love.
@@randothecrambo7842 is this a serious reply or do you actually not understand? because if you don't understand what he's saying then you should not have access to the internet
@@krink6 bruh not everything's a corporate scheme just be happy that someone's helping and bringing stuff to them, if you want someone to bitch at go to charities with proof of them using things like this to get money, and no proof of them helping the communities
Imagine telling children without the internet that they will never have access to the world's largest source of information and resources which will be imperative to their potential
I've been pissing myself laughing at this for like 20 minutes straight. The mix of MrBeast copycat editing and the total lack of self awareness is truly one of a kind. This is the best video ever put on the Internet. LMFAO
the problem here is lads even if he had good intentions, the way he went about it made him look incredibly disingenious, i can give him the benefit of the doubt and say he didnt have any ulterior motives and is just trying to spread awareness and raise money but that doesnt excuse the complete lack of respect he treated these people with.
Yeah the while time he's like "wow you're this poor? You do this? No way!" Just rubs me the wrong way. It's like he's never been in a developing country before, or thinks the viewers haven't
@@owenb8636 idk he sounds pretty genuine to me, he is very over the top with his speech, but he says things in awe more than disgust. he literally feels bad
@@futuregilf8854 ya content that used to benefit the ppl he making this video at a lose this only benefits the ppl and not him it’s pretty selfless what’s he is doing
I used to live in a village when I was around 10-14 years old, let me tell you this walking around barefoot was a good experience I didn't feel any sharp stones, didn't want to wear shoes because I felt free than to be walking in shoes I totally loved it.
It is not “good”, it does not matter if the ground was littered with sharp objects and trash, the ground is still ultimately dirty, and filled with bacteria. And you walking before is just letting that bacteria enter your body.
@@emdrake04 it's a nice story, however I'm going to put my entitled opinion out there. I sure hope a creep doesn't comment back to me about how entitled I am
@ it does,tourism help create a market,and that market fuels a economy making the country look better,and makes companies want to invest in the region.
I love your Videos but this video is kind of showing one side of the country. I am Burundian, and i have lived in Burundi for most of my life, i am 25 and trust me there is much more to see from that. Even if we are regarded as the poorest country there is definitely a better side to show. Everyone comes to the country and shows the poorer side. Every country has a poor side. This video felt like going to the US and just filming the homeless people to show the negative side. You did not show anything positive. Neither did you show any snipet of the capital city and the beautiful places we have. If you had it hit up someone else, or if i would taken you around, i am definitely sure you would have appreciated way more. If you read this Fidias, reach out so that we can show the better and beautiful side. It’s sad that you have showed that side of the country. Because there is wayyyyy more. Anyone reading this, there is much more to Burundi than that.
I think Africa is the most beautiful continent, just because people think it's poor it doesn't mean that you shouldn't visit it. My cousin was born in Tanzania because my aunt couldn't stop visiting it!
How it's disrespectful, what if he treated them like normal human? Then it would seem as a normal photo. Racism is in the eyes of people that are hating on him. What's the point of respecting black people when you can't do normal shit like posing challenge video thumbnails with them?
@ he does that with white and rich people too, so white and rich people are props too? He doesn't see black people with any different eyes, so there's no question of using them. He sees them for what they are, normal humans.
love it how he says that less than 10% of the people have acces to the internet while there is a man in the background waving with a phone in his hands...
Sir,he started a fund raiser for 20k dollars to help the country,and he is maching donations,so he is giving away 20k,and he spent his money helping the people in the video
@@jutsu712 20k will do stuff,if a hair good haircut cost 50 cents in a country compared to a it costing 20 dollars in the usa,then tha5 means you will probably not going to see more then like 500 dollars in your life and if 20k dollars is 41,141,220 burundi money then therre is probably inflation and corruption and if there is corruption then there will only be things for people to live of from sometimes
How gone as a society are we where this guy is making money by monetizing ads on a video of him “slumming it” in the worlds poorest country like some kind of challenge video?? Savior complex if I’ve ever seen one and a need to be worshipped for it just disgusting
Je is helping the people,and he is maching donations to a fundraiser and since this video will not make more then like 10k this would be a loss for him as a video if 10k/550k viewers donated 2 dollars
He needs to make a video that gets views so this matter can get more publicized and he also opened a fundraiser for 20k and will be matching donations for the first 10k donations and he got 600k views thats 2k at max do he is loosing 8k from doing this thats more then ur entire family's monthly salary combined so first watch the video before trash talking it
Nope, 1, cancel culture at its finest, and 2, he was educating them of what’s in more fortunate country’s and that can actually inspire a lot of kids to work harder to get to that point to. Flexing is if he said “I have a phone and you don’t, it’s sad but you never will have one” that’s flexing his phone but instead he was educating them
@@dasaggropop1244 that’s true but then again, the kid who made the windmill and gave electricity to his village, he learned about it in a book about windmills, so it’s still inspiring of him to do
@@cheeto4092 lmao not as disrespectful as this dude's thumbnail. this video literally shows none of the wonderful things about Burundi. He's treating it like some sort of "challenge", it's messed up
@@cheeto4092 It's actually the most respectful comment out there since he's trying to acknowledge how this man is making a youtube challenge out of the pain and suffering these people go through
@@reallarwaz i like how people complain about cancel culture but they do it themselves it funny also fidias isnt american his country might talk like that tbh i see hes trying to help but if people wont understand that
Fidias, to be honest you really misscharacterized the country. This is not completely your fault, but you should have been aware, that in four days you would not get an accurate impression. I, for example am in the middle of a voluntary service in Dar-es-salaam in the neighboring country of Tanzania. I am living in a modernly-built apartment, in a complex with many students, wo are neither really rich, nor poor. They, so as me, live in a nice place, where the biggest problem is, that sometimes there is no water or electricity for a few hours. Such people exist, and there are many of them. But most people treat the countries as if there were only very poor people here. This kind of missrepresentation in my opinion Leads to the countries not being seen as equals in the global community. There are poor people here, whom we should help, but we should never forget that there are also many people here, who can stand on their own legs, and this is why we should view the countries as equals not as our little projects. I would have wished for you to make this a bit clearer even though I of course really like that you try your best to support the efforts to equality of chances around the world. Let’s all hope that the planned unification of Tanzania, Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, and DR Congo is successful, so that a new economically strong country in Africa is born.
@M Y T H I C A L N O V A the fact that you cant see the issue with a video where he goes and tours around the poorest country. he looks like a fucking bad borat bit
@@jasonhenry7182 Did you? It’s incredibly distasteful that he narcissistically portrayed himself as some sort of “white savior” in his original thumbnail and that he views staying in Burundi as a fun “How long can I last?” MrBeast-style challenge, when millions of people have been suffering there on a daily basis for decades. It’s also completely baffling that he was so surprised poor people exist, which clearly shows that he was born with a silver spoon shoved up his ass and has never struggled financially.
People are accusing MrBeast of Poverty Tourism while this guy who made a video relating more to the subject, literally did not get as much attention as MrBeast did.
@@AndalusianPrince Well at least he did so mainly to help those people living in such areas, those twitter freaks complaining about MrBeast, are not saying anything about Larry Fink, Klaus Schwab, 2 people that are known to have done horrible acts even worse than the Paul Brothers.
@M Y T H I C A L N O V A bruh how fucking dumb are you Proof of what? That i got like 3 minutes of hard breathing watching a bunch of nobodies in their armchair upset that someone made a difference, even if it was self serving and selfish, because it shows that even the trash people hate is still doing more positivty and liked more then the whiners
When I was a kid, I always wished I could have helped the unfortunate people in my country, when I started realizing how the world works, I realized I could not do so
It can be done with time and multiple people trying to help. I also wished I could to my parents country and fix the corruption. I see potential in that country and it really makes me sad and angry to see it stay like that for shady business
it is sad to see kids that have the potential to learn and become big leaders and the innovation and the imaginary skill they can get out of the internet is massive i litterally learned english from watching youtube videos and playing games. when boys and girls from other countries join the server i got a experience of a life. And i am gratefull of what i have as a living being and im thankful for having such amazing parents.
No they cannot. They have 0 potential of learning and becoming big leaders. Average IQ in Burundi is 69. Name one person from Burundi without googling.
@@solsol9515 my brother in Christ being from a particular place doesn't just make you stupid i doubt that statistic but if it's true then i'd reckon it's due to a lack of education rather than actual stupidity
@@solsol9515 the reason why the average IQ is (apparently) 69 is because of lack of education, and they lack education because of poverty. Their poverty is also because of historical situations and not because they're somehow worse. If you were born in an impoverished nation, you would have had less access to an education and would have been far less intelligent. Also, as for the achievements, if they have access to little to no resources, how do you expect they'd even have a chance to advance in the first place? Stop being so ignorant.
Миллионер поехал в самую бедную страну и дать им немного денег:🚫 Дать парикмахеру 50ц и не дать больше чтобы тот чел мог улучшиться и хвастаться деньгами: ✅
dude has the wealth to pay more than 50 cents for that haircut, and even had opportunities to do something nice for this community... but decided not too.
@@mkchar he was laughing because in America a haircut is way more than 50 cents. Lol this is cancel culture at its finest, a big youtuber calls another youtuber out and now his fans are trying to cancel him for not paying more when he already is donation and matching donations to their country 😂
1:38 This was Lebanon 1 year ago. There was HUGE lines for gas and it was really sad. I felt bad for all the people waiting 2 hours usually to get gas. And it is still really expensive for gas there. God bless that my family is doing well in Lebanon.
@@h7productions286 inflation, the Beirut explosion, lack of gas, it’s caused a lot of problems. They haven’t even recovered from the explosion yet. I’m just thankful my family is doing well and has money
Literallyyyy and yk whats roly funny.I have asian arab neighbours.That willingly live here.He deserved to get called muzungu lmao.This fala muzungu acts for clout.
He's not garbage. He raised awareness for Burundi's poverty and literally bought a wheelchair for one of the guys in the video. The fundraiser is already over 8k. If's he's a horrific piece of garbage what does that make you?
@@mawnki8037 Wow, the world had no idea that some countries are very poor, until our good man Fidias made this video. What the fuck is 8 thousand dollars, or 20 thousand dollars, going to do to fix anything? How much ad revenue is he going to pocket himself, as the video gets more and more views? What have YOU done for Burundi? Shut the fuck up.
This guy seems to think people in Africa are living in 1000Bc and have never seen a car, phone or any modern technology. He seems to think they live in straw shacks and use spears while dancing around a fire 🤦♂️
He was pointing to show where the kids are. For example, if your trying to find a group of people while with a friend and you find them, you’ll likely point, and say, “there they are”. Him pointing does mean he thinks their objects
I know publishing videos of oneself committing crimes is a bad idea, but didn't expect RU-vid to actually apply their own rules to a big channel doing something bad...
@@noneofyourbusiness7055I don’t think so that they did because there are videos with more than 10m views overall on RU-vid from massive creators doing things like sneaking in or staying over which are illegal too so he deleted this stuff himself
