Only overworked stressed out people can build a civilization, that's why our societies are dominated by very educated depressed people. Meanwhile people elsewhere live shorter lives, don't care much about their health(you are going to die anyway) and enjoy the little time they have.

    Antananarivo and Madagascar in general left me the most 💔heartbroken of all journeys across Africa.

      I think a contributing factor as to why poor countries remain poor is because of foreign aid. Why bother improving when rich countries give you money annually?
      The best way to help these poor countries is by cutting off foreign aid and let them figure it out themselves how to actually make money.

    I travelled to Madagascar 16 years ago. The people are friendly, and I never felt unsafe in Tana. Madagascar does have some of the worst poverty I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Madagascar is very rich in terms of natural resources, eg precious gems and minerals, but it’s corrupt government and international corporations that are making all the money.

    I'm so glad to have you back, Nick. Of all the places you could go to and you are in Madagascar. While I was watching your video, I couldn't help but get emotional as I thought about the times I complained about my life and still do and to see how those people live. Its amazing how they recycle anything they get their hands on. I sent a link to my mother of your video for her to watch it. She is 85 years old now, and it's amazing how she still goes on. My dad is almost 94 years old, and I feel the same about him. It's been so long since I mentioned your name to my mother, so I am sure she would love to see your videos again. Seems you are doing well. Take care, and I can't wait to see more of you in Madagascar. 😊❤

      @NoctLightCloud 21 день назад

      ​@@West-rn-showvn-ist-chickYes but there's no reason to not keep your street clean at least. Loads of countries stoop up again after devastating wars were everything was in ruins, and the first thing to do is clean up. Organize your group and find as many helping hands as possible, and commit to that free labour for some time. It improves your mental state. There's no reason to sit in rubbish and step onto rubbish daily if you and everyone around you is healthy and capable of fixing it. My family is from Bosnia, kinda a poor country, but it's at least clean. Sweeping your own streets doesn't cost you a penny. Independet from where the life lottery makes you end up. Just a thought. I'm not hating, I simply care more about such living conditions than most people here.

    Why do u only go to the poorest areas of a country? Not judging but it's rare to see u go to middle class neighborhoods. I follow a few Madagascar RUclipsrs and they live in average-size houses with their parents and the neighborhoods don't look nearly as destitute as where u was at. That's like u going to the U.S but only decided to visit small towns in West Virginia and Mississippi instead of Boston or NYC. It's good to see the poverty side but show all aspects of a country. The ugly, bad, good, and amazing parts.

    • @tisvana18

      Sometimes these sort of videos can help destitute areas or individual businesses, it can bring awareness, etc. it’s not all just slum touring for fun. He’s run charities for people before as well that he’s met this way.
      All content made for RUclips has a branding of some kind. The people living in the wealthier areas have their own brand too. While it’s important to cover all facets of life in a country, it’s kind of on the onus of the viewer to do that research themselves imo. Indigo Traveller goes to poorer areas and shines light on them as his “brand.” Other RUclipsrs show the glitz and ritz. The fancy YTbers probably never go to the more run down areas, even if there’s good food.
      If that sounds cynical, it kind of is. I don’t think it’s as malicious or exploitative as it sounds. Some people get happy about showing off the good, some people think it’s their duty to show the less-well off to give them a voice. Sometimes brands just happen because of that. IT seems like a good dude, so I don’t think he’s doing this for exploitative content. I’ve seen some people on YT who definitely are and they don’t get real and involved with people like he does.

    • @kevintyson1947
      @kevintyson1947 17 дней назад +2

      @@tisvana18 Yeah I seen alot of YTbers being exploitative to these poverty stricken areas and I like Indigo, sometimes it feels just as exploitive. Poverty porn as they call it.
      By mostly only showing these poor areas, it reinforces the idea that countries in Africa and South America are entire hell holes and U.S and European countries are the only "civilized" countries. Hell, so many people in the U.S still believe that most people in Africa still live in huts with no running water because all they see is missionaries and news networks focusing only on small villages on the far outskirts of cities.
      Make no mistake, I do like the awareness. One example was his Nigeria videos and the people there basically living in treehouses on top of a sewage-filled river. I have friends that was born and raised in Nigeria (currently still do) and I showed them Indigo's videos. My friends are poor...REALLY poor. Like sometimes have to skip meals and trouble . But despite being so poor, they and their family and friends at least live in modern-looking apartments with electricity and running water. They were absolutely shocked that people in their own country let alone their own city could be doing even worse than them.
