14. Why'd you do it Ben? Why did Uplift an impoverished man Liberia and help all these children?
    "Well, I wanted a 100k subscriber plaque and I mean…what was I gonna do….just send people poop in a box?"

17. How I wish to tell you the secret behind this sir Ben, but I'm sorry I can't reveal the secrets in public conversation. I live in Nigeria, I'm in Lagos where the….. 🤳💬

18. Didn't know you were behind the pasta guy videos…..
    That's awesome

19. Honestly… I originally came for the poop story, but I really want more interesting charity work. That's a niche with much less genuine content for it.

    I don't just claim to want it even though I secretly want more poop stories – that's just YouTube's algorithm somehow pegging me as a poop-story guy because I binge-watched 15 videos about Indian tech support scammers.

    I've spent a gazillion hours on here listening to in-depth policy interviews, political speeches, and post-colonial history, and YouTube sends me to the poop video instead of the Liberian story. They literally just have a preference for poop, I guess. And I KNOW that the fact that I did actually click on it undermines my case.

    The point is, YouTube's algorithms are really not a force for good. Don't listen to them. Give us more stories about how people in post-colonial regions can improve their lives or something like that.

20. Was that shaunduras?

21. It said people were asking to make more he got one 1 like

23. Isn't that the "I see dead people" kid / guy? The one that blew his head off.

24. Plaque incoming. o/

25. I stumbled across the whole book thing and this video came after the original.. subbed!

26. I thought your channel name is a knock off of Soylent Green. But, you know, more pleasant.

27. Man, that thumbnail looked like you went into a prison!

28. Great Story, lets see if we can collaborate to make the movement bigger! hit me up!

29. a guy who just wanted to land a viral video^^

30. You said you deleted Joel from the videos, but I have just watched them all from the beginning and he is shown several times.

31. Keep up. The good work

32. Subscribed. For your honesty, your empathy, your kindness, and your bravery. You deserve way more subs and fame. I’m so happy you survived your channel suicide. You genuinely seem like a truly GOOD human being. Please, do not let us down. Do not ever become what you are trying to destroy. It can get real easy to get caught up in the smoke and mirrors of YouTube’s deceitful ways of making things more appealing, even if they’re not in the best interest of their viewers. The cliff hangers I can handle, it’s just the way you like to end your episodes and it’s not a scam, but a tactic to keep traffic on your channel consistent, I get that. But don’t ever change what you create into something that would make us believe anything but the TRUTH. You will have nothing but the best, most loyal followers if you always remain consistent in what you say and do. That doesn’t mean you can’t do different content now and then, but whatever you do…. DO. NOT. SELL. OUT. Make your millions on YouTube the right way. Patreon is fine but you need to do it in ways that show us our money is being used for the right things, which you seem to be fine at doing lol. Just don’t ever stop being YOU. We don’t need more characters on YouTube… we need more people like YOU.

    Ps: Please run for president someday. I think you’d have the only honest campaign ever. 👍🏻

33. The gun video was cool…don't let current political climate to change your mind about it.

34. Like damn, I just discovered you today. Matched ur Videos in the past 2,5 hours . And your subscribers went from 100k to 102k. just wanted to say that

35. This is good wholesome story telling entertainment. Thamk you Ben.

36. Do good, always.

37. You are sincerely a wonderful human being.

38. I did subscribe today…you inspire me…alot

39. I'm being/have been scammed and it's no laughing matter…they're horrible people with no conscience…it's called a romance scam and you don't have to wait to find them…they find you on fb in a heartbeat second! But good luck with having "fun" with it cuz believe me it's no "fun" when it's happened to you! Maybe you should be serious about it and help the victims rather than the scammers! But then that's just my opinion…

40. 5 years from now:
    all scam traffic is redirected to Ben's foundation where they help scammers earn an honest living
    nobody in the world is bothered with scams anymore
    immigration due to economic reasons comes to a halt
