There's a particular kind of video that you sometimes see online that just make me so incredibly sad. It's the "Oh, look at how nice these people are helping some pedestrian in a pickle cross the 6 lane stroad"

This is not a good situation to be applauded. It is dystopian that this could even happen. It's a symptom of systemic failure.

These kinds of videos have the same vibe as stories that valorize the entrepreneurial spirit of some 12 year-old kid who's helping their poor family make ends meet

Sure, uphold children's creativity, but I don't think child labor is a good thing. Again a symptom of systemic issues are turned into a feel-good story.
