    Definitely a good idea. Used to watch SMPfilms material a lot, nice to know he's using his position on Youtube to help a cause.

    Yes. A majority of it will be paid from the Ads revenue per view on the page but he will be paying the difference. Very noble of him, if you ask me.

    o.0 Seriously? How is what he's doing any different than UNICEF and Red Cross? He's generating a way to donate money to this crisis, and all you can do is look at the negative of it? Let's see you pay the money for it then, and I'm talking about more than 10 dollars. It shouldn't matter where the money comes from, as long as it's saving lives.

    Exploiting someone else to make money is pathetic.

    Things like UNICEF and the Red Cross aren't contributing based on hits to a website. The fact he's CONDITIONALLY helping out should point you towards his real agenda: promoting his shit.

    How is he promoting his site anyways? The money gathered is gathered by viewing the youtube video, not his site o.0 Do you people say the same thing about blood clinics? You donate blood and they pay you for it. The same thing is happening here. You view the page, you essentially help out. You are getting more views so that it's easier to pay for it. How is that wrong? What about raising awareness for causes, like breast cancer or w/e. How are those any different? You go there, where ever the rally/fundraiser/event is. Some people take morals too damn seriously. I could care less how he's getting the money, as long as the damn money is going to saving peoples' lives, which is what you should be looking at, instead of complaining how he's getting it. If you saw, he's actually already donated money to Haiti. This is to donate more. How much have you donated?

    He says his site name at the start of the video, plus there are links going to it. He's just doing what every Government/Major Business do, using peoples emotions to blind them.

    Sure he is helping by giving money, but the fact still remains that he's in it for his self interests. If this takes off and his video gets millions of views his site will have hundreds of thousands of hits that he wouldn't have had before.

    Did you just compare watching a youtube video to donating one litre of the most important liquid in your body...?

    Also, PARAGRAPHS.

    Nice... a grammar Nazi. Yes, I did compare the two, because you are doing the same thing. You are going to a designated place to contribute to a greater cause. If you can't see that, then that's your issue.

    Did you not read or listen to what he said? For every 100k views, he makes just under 300 dollars. All of the money gained from those views will be going directly to Haiti, with him covering whatever difference there is. It is not money for personal gain, it is money gained for contribution.

    Pssst, Use of paragraphs isn't grammar.

    And yes, if you put it that way, then yes it's the same thing. However, only one of those things can be done sitting naked in front of your pc with your dick in your hand eating pizza rolls while doing jack shit.

    Guess which one.

    But still, you have to give him credit. Now, I know Youtube practically hands over money to people like him for making a three minute video, but I have yet to see something at least somewhat productive as this is. One thing I'm not sure about is how the revenue is calculated.. is it by total amount of views, because if it is, then is a very efficient idea. Whether it may be for popularity in a sense, or not.

    Depends if you have a certified nurse with you at your house, or a blood extraction home-kit. Then it can be both.

    Your posts on this board are so full of stupid I don't know what to say anymore.

    If he really gave a shit, he'd just make a video with the promotional thing. He wouldn't mention his website even once. People who are actually interested would check his channel and other vids, and he'd naturally get an increase in traffic. But the video he's asking for hits on doesn't need any advertising at all. He's trying to be clever but he's a fucking marketing moron. You NEVER plug your shit out in the open. NEVER. It generates hate like it has here. If he didn't, nobody would say a thing, and we'd probably all get more people to view it. Put that shit in your pipe and smoke it. As it stands, he won't have to donate a thing and for that he gets 80,000 views which is below the number of views other videos on the channel have received, so even leveraging his own user base and plugging his own shit, he's still coming nowhere near the "goal" he set up.

    By the way, notice the end of the video where he has nothing to say. You know why he has nothing to say? Because he just doesn't give a shit. Yeah.


    And back on topic:

    If you really want to help Haiti but don't have any money, if you live in the USA, just sit back and relax. You've already helped. You'll have to pay in the taxes that are coming but you've done your part.

    You should seriously hang yourself. These last few posts of yours in this and the previous thread make me realize how much of a waste of life you really are.

    Mods: Feel free to infract me for that.

    Re: want to help haiti but got no money?

    Why do i seem to be the only one agreeing with BBOY (devonsdaddy) on this one?

    Yes, ok, fine, so he's getting hits he never would have got otherwise. BUT, the charity he is contributing to is getting money they they would not have been able to get, had he not done it.

    It's a double edged sword, you can't have one without the other. Big woop so he's getting a little something out of it, he's also doing alot of good. Nobody is a saint, and NONE of you would do any different to what he is doing.

    right, just take that he is using this as a marketing ploy to earn some money himself. so what? at least it IS an avenue for others to donate to haiti right?

    he may be an asshole by all means, but it beats not having anyone that is gonna donate the money away.

    seeing as no-one here knows him personally it's pointless to try and judge. Take or leave it this money will go a long way in Haiti.

    If you want to get all emotional over wrong and right go address the wrongs of your government, go plant a tree and take yourselves less seriously ;)

    Re: want to help haiti but got no money?

    I'm sorry to start it up again, but after watching the video yet again, can someone please explain to me how he was advertising his site? Maybe I'm taking it a different way then most, but the way I see it, he was stating who he was, from what site, so people would know who he is. I mean, if any random person was to make this video and say they would donate that much per 100k views, who would believe them?

    But considering this guy owns his own site, and it being fairly known you can get money from Ads, he stated who he was for people that didn't know him. Does that make any sense to anyone other than me? I just can't see how people got the impression he was promoting his site. He didn't say viewers have to go to the site, or even remotely mentioned viewers visiting it. He just said he was such and such from that site. I took it as an introduction, not a promotion. Idk... sorry for bringing it back up.

    @OnTopic: I've spread the link on my facebook and myspace in hopes that more money is generated to be sent there to help. I hope more people have done the same.
