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

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
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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)
