A YouTuber is slammed after allegedly buying a homeless man food and eating it in front of him.
As reported by our friends at UNILAD. At the start of the video, the content creator with over 9,000 subscribers told his viewers that: “Today, it's my job to make sure there's one less hungry person on the streets.”
He then finds an alleged homeless man in an alley and asks: “I was wondering, are you hungry by any chance, man?” The alleged homeless man confirms that he is hungry and the YouTuber replies: “All right then I got you. What would you like? A Baconator, fries, drink - is that cool?”

Before going into a nearby Wendy’s fast-food restaurant, the YouTuber fist-bumps the alleged homeless man and then leaves to make an order. The YouTuber then returns with a ‘Baconator Combo’.
The YouTuber tells the man “I was homeless myself,” [apparently], “so I want to make sure you get on the right path and, you know, you're always able to, you know, get back on your feet.”
Then the YouTuber proceeds to gobble up the food and downs a drink in front of the alleged homeless man. To be honest, it’s an uncomfortable watch. Whilst eating the food in front of the man, the YouTuber adds: “I want you to enjoy this.”
Before featuring a teary emoji overlay on the video with the text “He was so hungry”, the YouTuber tells the man: “Alright, take care. Have a nice day.”

A video shared by the Twitter account Human Nature has so far garnered over 26 million views and the vast majority of the comments in the thread have shared their disgust at the content. That disdain has even be taken to unrelated videos on his YouTube channel.
You’ve probably noticed that I used the term “alleged homeless man” and that I’ve not mentioned the YouTuber by name. That’s because this video could have been staged and if it’s not, it’s a scummy thing to do for views.

That being said, even if it is staged, it sends out a very sh***y message to those that have viewed this video.
