> The main joke, as explained by PewDiePie, was to "prove that the modern world is crazy and will do anything for 5 dollars" People should make an effort to understand that this is an excuse he came up with after realizing what a bad idea this was, not a real, legitimate reason for doing something. This is a person who gets paid enormous amounts of money to just do whatever he wants and talk about what he thinks. Is it that far-fetched that someone with so much money and so much free time and free will would get bored and watch poor people dance and embarrass themselves for his amusement? Note, this is not meant to be an attack on PewDiePie's character (his actions speak toward his character just fine). This comment is mostly about providing insight into why a person might do something like this for no real reason and genuinely see nothing wrong with it.
