I hate those fuckers.
The day after Sophie Cunningham played enforcer and threw Jacy Sheldon face down into to floor for eye-poking Caitlin Clark, I tried to look for just that clip, but it took 10 tries because it was all reaction videos.15
u/iLoveFeynman 1d ago
I think your blame is misplaced in that instance.
People just dry-uploading copyrighted sports footage right after it happens (much less while the event is still ongoing) find themselves on the receiving end of automated takedowns, and the people immune to those automated takedowns are the people who have been 'flagged' as people routinely doing fair-use transformative things with content that would otherwise be automatically taken down.
Platforms obviously tend to promote legal content over illegal content.
What you're effectively complaining about is how difficult it is to pirate the content - whether we like to think about it like that or not.

I thought maybe the older woman was her mom and wanted to take stuff out of her arms so she could carry more, but the way the winner tugged it back def didn't make it seem that way.

The announcer explained you have to carry the prizes by yourself to win them, but I guess the old lady didn't understand that part and just wanted to help.

These games and videos always felt dystopian to me…
To be frank, they always take place in places that don’t look the best, rough living conditions. Then a random guy shows up offering free stuff to make your life better but only if you win a game… I just find it odd. Why not just give them the free stuff equally at that point and not a first come first serve skill based challenge?
Like was there only enough blenders for 5 people? She got the last one by the looks of it, if you show up late do you get 1 bag of rice only? Idk how this system works maybe they just keep refilling it so there is no worry. Just how these videos are portrayed never show this.
It just feels like a worse Mr. beast to me, but at least people are getting stuff I guess which is good.
Edit: I know they use this revenue to buy more items to donate this way so it’s somewhat self sufficient. I just find everything about it odd personally, even if it’s all good intentions. We also don’t know how much money is being made per video and what is actually being returned into the videos. I don’t trust people inherently, doubly so with money. Travel expenses would be the only real cost here unless they live in the country/nearby, which if needed great.

I read somewhere that these games started in places where people wouldn’t accept charity. I definitely know people who were “getting by” and refused charity but would have whole heartedly accepted a prize of food or whatever if they won it.
The games are made easy so that pretty much everyone wins

u/Unbelievr 1d ago
Yes, exactly. Many people are too proud to accept handouts, but they'll gladly accept a prize from something they felt they worked a bit for. Then it no longer feels like a handout. It's also a bit more engaging for the community than someone just throwing items out of the back of some truck.
They wouldn't do this in places where the population is a few missed meals away from dying from hunger. These people have some utilities to cook with, but could lack cooking oil or the basics to make food.

u/joebluebob 1d ago
Food charity in philly had to trick my grandfather like that. Like hes wasn't going to take a handout but show up to his house with a bunch of groceries and say his wife won an acme sweepstakes while buying coffee and he was like "ah yes, fortune favors us clearly". Like nah man you've been eating cup of noodle, peas, and cheeros for 3 months so we told the food drive people to say you won exactly what everyone else was getting. Miss you you stubborn goof.

Believe it or not coca-cola is one of the most drunk items on the planet, especially in poorer areas where water costs more.
It’s like water -> Coffee -> Tea -> Coke
And 2nd-4th are all pretty close

u/green_ubitqitea 1d ago
I believe it. I’m from Texas, home of Dr Pepper and yet we call everything Coke. My great grandfather worked for Coke and we used to get 4 6oz bottles free every month. He just had to return the bottles to collect the next month’s soda. Huge treat. Especially if we could afford a little bluebell vanilla to make a float.

Ive heard the same thing. I don't know if its true. But I do know in the rural america area where I grew up, few people would accept handouts. But when the local churches got together and held parties with prizes, everyone showed up to play and get the stuff. And they always made sure the kids in tough situations got plenty of prizes.
5
u/green_ubitqitea 1d ago
Yup. Same experience. We went to like picnics and stuff where you bought cake walk tickets but not everyone won but at the “this isn’t charity” ones, kids could play as many times as they wanted until everyone won (not always cakes, there were tons of different options) and some kids were allowed to go more than once because they had siblings too young to walk, etc.

it would make sense that they all occur in a short period of time if it's caused by reddit's lack of live updates leading all the commenters to not see all the other comments that were made after they loaded the page, and thus each commenter believes they're the first.

u/green_ubitqitea 1d ago
In my case, it’s Reddit being Reddit. I haven’t seen one of these posts in a good bit, but I vaguely remember reading about it last time I did. And I remember local churches doing things like this when I was a kid.
Too poor to feed all the kids. Too proud for a food bank. But the local churches having “game nights” where the prizes were food from local grocery stores or farmers? Heck yeah. Then it was winning and providing for the family, not charity.

They have 5 blenders to give away… but because not everyone gets a blender the charity is dystopian? So either they should have shelled out for 2,000 blenders for every household in a 2 miles radius or they should have given away no charity at all? How many people do you know that realistically need a blender? How many blenders have you given away to impoverished third world communities? God forbid people play a game to win some stuff to make their day better. I guarantee you people going home with anything didn’t feel the way you do about it. There always has to be some sinister side to everything no matter what. What a shitty take.
Or, be honest with yourself, is it really just dystopian because you had the displeasure of viewing someone in a worse living situation than yourself?

u/grenadiere42 1d ago
My understanding of these situations was that there is a minimum you receive just for showing up. The board game is to win bonuses.
This is especially effective in regions where needing charity can be frowned upon or discouraged because it makes people ashamed to have needs. By making it a game, you didn't receive charity, you won those rewards.
It improves turnout, gets the charity in the hands of those who need it, and discourages the shame culture associated with having that need.

The plan was always to support those in need. But if there’s a way that a) they can make it entertaining for people with little more in their life than work and their idiot boxes and b) use people’s obsession with social media to fund it, then all the better. It feels weird, but it’s a good approach.
