I agree that folks need to have a discerning eye on this. There are several channels on YouTube where lawn care guys will mow an overgrown yard for free. Yes, they are filming it and hoping to drum up interest in their channel, but providing free lawn care is objectively a kind and expensive thing to do. In these cases, the amount of effort expended being actually kind makes it obvious it's not just some stage with props.

Absolutely, and I’d say your example prompts a further question: even if it is partially self serving, maybe it’s worth the price? If these YouTubers are are looking for subscribers but also do free lawn care and inspire others to do other free things for those who can’t do it themselves… do we really need to be so down on it?
