It's the "system is so broken, that some guy can video charity acts to make money off of" that's icky.

Some people will go "Where's the harm in that? Those people do get some money, that's a good thing, isn't it?"

It's the normalizing of dependance on such charity / "acts of god", as opposed to having available decent jobs and health covered plus a government and a community support system.
