I would like to ask this tiktok guy how often he does his random acts of kindness without the camera rolling...

His spokespeople will be happy to answer that question for him.

why the hell does a TikToker need a spokesperson at all? ego boost?

Same reason I have someone change my oil -- I don't want to spend the time myself, I can afford it, and they'll probably do a better job.

You're right. His team of image consultants, publicist and spokesman are probably best able to handle this.

Yeah, it's called sarcasm guys. Grandparent's question was rhetorical, as to say 'that seems out of keeping with a low budget tiktok producer'. Parent goes on to explain why anyone would conceivably have a spokesman. Sheesh.

when you make money by manipulation and lies you're gonna have to hire a spokesperson at some point to manage your web of lies. See politicians, institutions of the state, corporations, tiktokers, etc

Possibly he doesn't even have one but just pretends to talk through a spokesperson. Gives you a fake fall person

Exactly. Actual kindness doesn't need a camera and takes into account what the recipient of your kindness actually needs. This was just some guy taking advantage of someone for internet points.

If you are doing a random act of kindness you might as well film it too. Is there any incentive not to film it?

Yes, it's called common courtesy.
