Taylor Lorenz: 善良网红通过在社交媒体上发布帮助弱势群体的视频来获取流量和收益,但这种行为存在道德争议。隐藏摄像头的使用、缺乏当事人同意以及对被拍摄者的剥削是主要问题。这些视频往往将弱势群体置于尴尬境地,且网红从中获得的收益远大于他们给予的帮助。 Brad Podry: 作为一名经常讽刺善良网红的创作者,我认为这种行为存在诸多问题。首先,许多网红使用隐藏摄像头,侵犯了当事人的隐私权和知情权。其次,他们往往利用弱势群体的困境来博取眼球,而没有真正关注他们的需求。此外,这些网红的行为往往缺乏系统性的解决方案,只是个人英雄主义的表演。我曾经也犯过类似的错误,在未经当事人同意的情况下拍摄了无家可归者,事后我深刻反思了自己的行为,并意识到这种行为对当事人造成的伤害。

Shownotes Transcript

Because it's a holiday week I'm re-running one of my favorite episodes from last year.

I spoke to content creator Brad Podray‬ about the problem with “Kindness Influencers” and whether charity for content is ethical. We talk MrBeast, viral giveaways, and the difference between actual kindness vs kindness for the camera.
