Pro-tip: Don't link to rage-bait like this if you actually want to do anything about it. It's what they want, and how they garner "activity" for the almighty Algorithm™

Nope, it's already been removed by YouTube lol
You love to see it.
We love to not see it, too
Besides the point, really. It wasn't removed when they posted it.

And also, s/ if.*/./
There's a whole class of YouTube travel influencers, that talk about how to travel for free, or reduce cost.. and their tips are basically how do you externalize the cost of your vacation to the people you're visiting. Through either begging, working illegally, or outright theft relying on the politeness of the population to not get you in trouble.
I really hope, that these influences are just being sensational, and the people are watching them from an outrage porn perspective. But I've seen some of these begging travelers in real life... Sadly
We have them often begging or selling stuff in tourist spot in Malaysia, and we call them Begpacker, because that's what they are.
It makes me really angry when I see it. Somebody from a country where the minimum wage is like $15-20 a hour, begging for money from people were the average wage is like $1 a hour....
I have no right to be angry, I realize, but it just feels so entitled and.. the squandered opportunities... Haha making myself angry again
So... don't give them views by linking them all over, then?
I made it to about 2 minutes before I had to stop watching... They're "strategy" to travel Japan "for free" is just panhandling and cheating drivers out of their fare lol
I think my favorite part of the little I saw was the second guy saying "I think I might have to borrow some money" right before he starts begging for change from strangers... Like is he going to track them down to return their 50 yen back??? How does someone beg people for change but still sound condescending about it???
I don't know how anyone thought this was a good idea for a video. This is something you would do when you're desperate and hope no one you know ever finds out about it lol
panhandling and cheating drivers out of their fare lol
If only they've tried it with a guy called Taichi Suzuki. If only.
If you want to watch a similar experience that doesn't ruin other people's days, I recommend checking out Vagrant Holiday's videos! The guy tries to spend the least amount of money possible while traveling without being an asshole. he's even done a video in Japan! I should really binge his stuff again

I don’t know how anyone thought this was a good idea for a video.
The dumber and more infuriating a video is, the higher the chance that viewers will start arguing with each other and/or the creator, and share links offsite to show others just HOW dumb and infuriating the video is. It's the entire point of Rage Bait to be as obnoxious as possible to make people interact with the video in one way or another, because the creator gets "paid per click" in ad revenue. It doesn't matter to those people whether the comments are actually civil discussions or literally every youtuber just commented "f- you!", because both are worth one click = same amount of cash. Sharing links offsite is free advertisement on top of that.
Long story short, it is deliberate. And the best way to deal with those is to report and ignore them.
I love the way he says it's like an action movie, like I'm just imagining what kind of boring ass action movie that would be, sitting on a toilet pretending to shit for 2 hours 💀 (watched Penguinz0 video didn't support original)
I hope he gets referred to the police for his bullshit, sits in a cell, and then gets perma-banned from here.
Could have been fun and uplifting.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDBzi0n9Fxg
