The fact he developed health problems due to all the stress he was under and didn't seem to think for a second that every other person going through this experience might face the same thing...except without the millionaire health plan to fall back on.
Sociopathy.
And that it is often health conditions like his that force people into poverty and homelessness...
I feel sorry for the guy who gave him the room in his RV to sleep in. He wanted to help out someone who's homeless, but instead he's helping a millionaire who's trying to prove a point that people shouldn't have "excuses" for being poor.
and also taking up that opportunity for someone else. he might have given that room to someone genuinely in need. same with all the free stuff from market place. it might have gone to someone who needed it.
i was thinking this but im sure its fake
@@fuzzjunkyThis this this, as a homeless person of six years who works his ass off and still can't afford an apartment the way we are treated is terrible enough already but now what if this guy makes people fucking wary of helping us? They already fucking don't so he's just fucking us even more
What I feel makes it worse, is that Mike was trying to prove that there was no 'luck' involved. Night 1, and Mike got lucky that a good samaritan with extra living space found him and gave him a roof and bed... so Mike didn't need to struggle going day to day, keeping his phone charged on public outlets, maintaining hygiene, and finding places to sleep. It could be a problem if his battery died, and had to pause whatever work he was doing to recharge. He might not have given as good first impressions if he looked dirty and ragged (such as when getting the $40/month workspace). He might have have just... become overwhelmed with stress, suffering from the cold and weather, only making it difficult to focus on work. Like Pyro said, it's not like he should SUFFER, but unfortunately, suffering is what many homeless are trapped with... and Mike always had the option to 'tap out' once he got hit by bad luck. Granted, said bad luck was a health issue, but again homeless don't have the luxury to address that.
@@EthanHarmony-mu1li imagine being homeless lol cringe gay L
Something that I just realized, unless this dude committed a felony and illegally acquired false ID documents for a youtube challenge, all of the forms he would've had to do in order to get the office and the like would've been signed with his real name and millionaire credit history. There is absolutely not a snowball's chance in hell a fully equipped modern office space would be renting out to a guy with zero ID or credit for $40 per month, it's utter fantasy
another thing that pyro doesn't talk about in this video is the guy had another side hustle where he rented out like a 4 bedroom apartment and subleased it to 3 other people and collected on their rent. He had no credit or money so he "found" some random guy to loan him the money he needed upfront and co-sign the lease for him. On top of that he "found" a random landlord that would rent to a guy with no income, no credit, no money, a co-signer he doesn't even know, and on top of all that is allowing him to sublet each room to tenants he won't ever meet or know about. I've lived in 9 different states, there ain''t a snowballs chance in hell that would just randomly happen lol. utter fantasy.
@@adidab14 Wait, so the "homeless" guy was a landlord during? Absolute clownshow.
@@adidab14 the thing is that he probably had the credit , the guy said that he "drained his bank account" so he had credit from his past purchases , not only he had a an id ,which some thing that some homeless people don't have,but that id is connected to his credit score and the fact that he is a millionaire. And he still failed
Shared working spaces are cheap to rent and require 0 documents. It's not fantasy, you just don't know shit.
@@adidab14 Oh my god that really does add a whole new layer lmfao, dude absolutely cheated his entire ass off and still couldn't even come CLOSE to succeeding at this cruelhearted challenge
Watching this at the library because im homeless -_- turns out i shoulda been buying gold and property this whole time instead of needing an organ transplant. Who would have guessed
that sucks hope u get better soon!!
Idk where you live but in the UK wether spoons has wifi you can get hot drink refills all day and you can sleep in some of the bigger ones if you’re off in the corner and most are open till 12 so you have less of the night to wait out
Sucks
@gamingbady5305 I actually work at night lol which sort of makes things worse in a way. It's so much harder to sleep during the day. Just been living out of my car for the time being. Gym membership to shower library to kill time till work and to stay out of the heat. I'm in Texas so the sun will literally kill you XD
@@belialofeden Oh yeah, Texas sun is no joke .... Lmk if you near sa. I might be able to send food.
The funny part is he still utilized a lot of what he had before. His social media with millions of followers, he gave public talks because of his background.
He was essentially doing homeless on easy mode and even then got destroyed.
Yeah. When you are out in the backcountry of the desert living in a broken yurt under 120 degree heat, it's a hell of a lot harder without friends, money, and a fridge with solar power.
Not to mention all the knowledge he had before hand on possible ways to make money that the avg homeless person doesn't even know
@@amergingilesliving in the Mojave wasteland almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 When I got this assignment I was hoping there'd be more gambling.
@@amergingiles Honestly it's not much better being homeless in the middle of a city in the desert during the summer. Like yeah it's definitely better because you are much closer to resources if and when they are available for the homeless, but walking around in 100+ degree weather without proper access to water is basically a death sentence. We get lots of heat stroke victims that are trying to make their way to shelters, or to the parks with good water fountains. Hell, we get lots of heat stroke victims period, regardless of status.
Pro tip: Respect the desert the way sailors respect the Ocean. It can and will chew you up and spit you out faster than you thought possible.
One thing important to realize abt Mike is that he already had health care before being homeless, eliminating that cost, along with business classes that he already took to start his first bonus which most homeless ppl won’t have.
no
I know this is very off-topic but thank you for posting a comment that's actually related to the video and not another dumbass unfunny and overdone joke like most of the comments on this channel 🙏🙏🙏
@@user-xh8df9oz4y i was just about to say this, you stole my line!! i need more comments w substance!
uhm healthcare is free in europe
@@user-xh8df9oz4y how much is the inflater paying you
The fact he had to cheat say a lot. Also “life happening” stopping him from do the challenge shows why anyone cant make it, when life got hard he could retreat to wealth.
When "life happening" isn't part of the challenge rofl these people are so out of touch.
@@mannyjohnson8383 not sure if i understand the point of your comment.
Plus he should have take the medical bills out of his total 12 months earnings cos, well you know, that is what normal people have to do 🤪 He would have ended up with negative money by the end of the 12 months (again, just like what happens to normal people when they get sick)!
Imagine being enough of a coward to not stick to the situation that the people hes judging are forced to live with, and being enough of an asshole to pretend he still has a point to prove.
@@SleazySpliff Basically, he should've sucked it up and kept being homeless while stressed out with a tumor on his hip. I think that's a pretty good handicap that's a little bit truer to the challenge. Having the privilege to call it quits the moment something uncomfortable happens kinda defeats the purpose of the whole experiment.
Homeless ppl don't have the plan B, and what I mean by it is. If their "business plan" fails, they can't just go home, continue with their current successful business and just move on and continue with their lives.
Most of them are fighting to survive, or are abusing substances, if it was so easy to became a millionaire, everyone would be one, or at least, more than 20% of the population iirc.
Yes, u need a plan and persistence, but, without luck or nepotism. It's almost impossible to become a millionaire yourself.
If you want to be a millionaire, go to Iran with $25 and exchange it for just over 1,000,000 Rials
@@decb You missed my point by miles...
There is NO way he was picked up like that and offered food and shelter without being recognized. Zero chance.
nah people are just nice. thought i think what make it posiible is that he looks clean. comparing to other homeles people
@@Chronor so in general the odds of this happening are miniscule, the odds of this happening the 1st night someone is homeless significantly less than miniscule.
The best case scenario in terms of that being genuine is he told him he was doing a youtube challenge and then the guy offered. Which most homeless can't do.
Also take if from someone that was homeless, don't let strangers who need money sleep in your home. It's a safety thing. There are way safer ways to help someone. $50 bucks gets a motel room. ✌️
@@Chronordefinitely because he's clean, mfs don't trust homeless people, dude looked like he just walked out of an office
@@Chronor he does not have the instincts or street knowledge to actually pull this off truly impoverished. does he even meet the locals? even if it is real, his integrity was taxed for taking the offer on the first night without the foresight that it would look suspect. the most credible thing he could have done after getting that autoimmune disease was to sit out in the rain and soak in it.
your idea of the poor is completely absent of what actually leaves people in destitution, and only conceptually that "you have no capital". that doesn't work. this isn't meant to infantilize them either - but many "average" folk have a support system that prevents them from being homeless in the first place. you don't half-ass vagrancy.
He looks nice. He doesn't look messed up. That's why he'd be offered help while actual homeless people wouldn't.
A homeless man with a vlogging camera actively filming a vlog is a lot more approachable than someone who has been homeless for years. Assuming it's not entirely fake anyway lol
getting multiple delivery guys for your craigslist flipping "business" is mighty sus as well
“Hey guys, I’m going to show that anyone can get themselves off the streets with enough determination, oh, what’s this, free housing in the form of an RV on my first day of being homeless?”
@@none62092When I was homeless I was offered temporary housing quite often, but it was usually just for a couple nights at most lol. Longest I got to stay somewhere was 2 weeks (it was a really nice empty cabin though so I cant complain, it was almost like having my own place for 2 weeks)
now i wonder if this "challange" would be done with an actual homeless in person -- the millionaire being their coach on their back like its some sort of e-sports or something
@@helper_bot absolutely brilliant idea. Someone needs to try that. It would prove their point far better than them doing it themselves "undercover", while also doing some actual good in the process (if it actually works).
I was homeless for just half a year and it was hell, what this guy went through is rainbows and fantasies
how did you got out of this?
@@kluskaaa5557 not by myself, I met tons of people through that half a year and two of them agreed to help me get an apartment and start over. Alone I would still be homeless
@precuncaraili damn, you was lucky
@@kluskaaa5557 yup, the key is making contacts
So if anything, he proved the opposite, that not 'anyone' can achieve something like this. Unfortunate circumstances, which can happen to anyone, has prevented him from going forward despite his pre-obtained skills. Imagine if you're ACTUALLY homeless, have tumors in your body, AND just learned that your dad has cancer. Yeah, not a chance in hell.
I'd say the fact that he already hired people so early on proves that NOT anyone could do it - you need others to work for you to get rich quickly.
Also, with inflation going strong, there will be a time soon when being a "millionaire" is basically lower middle class...
@@Knokkelman Yeah, and if others are working for you then they aren't getting rich quickly unless they have other people working for them.
And we call that a pyramid scheme.
The main thing is that most people that don't realize, is that most homeless people don't know if they are going to make it , there are homeless people in the streets that suffered for years because of mental illness/addiction/or a physical disability that induse a state of depression/anxiety. His "experiment is ultimately flawed because at any moment he can just go back to his old life . Not to mention that the moment that something happened to him (thw fact that his dad got cancer ) he started to break down both physically and mentally.
Homie had the option to move closer to his dad following the diagnosis. How many homeless only find out their remaining relatives are dead long after there was even a window to be there for them?
@@kylegonewild yah he got to experience homeless in the most soft and easy way possible and he still failed
@@vsaucelover9660 He got offered a safe place to live and food day 1. Saying he got to experience homelessness is like saying someone experienced war at laser tag. Basically cosplayed being homeless.
@@wako1576 He also had a side-hustle of being a landlord...because he found 'random' people willing to sub-lease and cosign with him. Just like the 'random' people who delivered for his business. And rented him office space for $40/month. Because he is a millionaire with fame and a millionaire's credit score.
@@wako1576 exactly.
It's also funny that the method he used to set himself as an example that anyone can become a millionaire wasn't something that was actually productive or useful for society but rather leeches off of it instead.
🤯🤯🤯 so how people with no skills can usually go by?!
Reselling isn't leeching, it's just connecting buyers with stuff they want. It's not comparable to scalping, I don't know why Pyro lumped them in together. I guess he's just a consoomer who's upset he couldn't get his latest collectors items at label price.
@@peacemaster8117 "its not leeching" just like scalping and a lot of other things, reselling adds no value to the product
@@peacemaster8117 Real, + his speech how his success was cuz of luck really was like "Bro.. what?" As if he isn't making one of the highest quality game reviews in youtube currently.. or had a very nice and funny humor which has always been the meta
@@AgarthanWarrior88 As the commenter above you said “just like scalping and a lot of other things, reselling adds no value to a product.” It’s leeching no matter what way you cut it.
Also, to act like luck doesn’t play a part in someone’s success just because they’re good at what they do is absurd. If that was how things work, then there wouldn’t be so many “hidden gems” out there since they’d be lifted into prominence by their sheer merit. It’s simply a fact that there are many factors to success that creators just can’t control.
There’s this late RUclipsr I really loved, Technoblade. Something he said that really stuck with me was that it takes skill to turn opportunities into outcomes, however, he also said that opportunities are created by luck. What I’m trying to say is, don’t sell yourself short as it was you that turned your good fortune into tangible results, but on the other hand, be careful not to oversell the worth of your efforts either, as after all, there were many fortunes along the way, big and small, that brought you into a position where you can use your skills to achieve success.
To use Pyro as an example, he makes no secret that he developed his style based on people he watches. Obviously, he didn’t plan to become part of their audience and be inspired by them. He was simply lucky that he happened to find their content one day in his recommended or whatever.
So he set out to make $1,000,000 and made about $65,000. If monthly revenue was about $10k a month we can bump that to about like $90,000 for the year. So basically he went out to make 1 million in a year to prove anyone can do it, then even with all his advantages and previous knowledge, made less than %10 of what his goal was. Hope he learned something that not everyone can just become a millionaire :^)
Becoming a millionaire from scratch isn't a one year endeavor. The fact that he got to 65k in just a year is already far better than most people. If he kept this up, he'd have gone there eventually.
64k is gross income, after expenses he was making an average of 3.2k a month.
@@glens2019 After expenses he made 32k (from coffeezilla's alt channel), which is the equivalent of 15k an hour. That isn't impressive when you remember he had "random people" loan him an RV and a car for free (as if) and a random dude co-signed a property for him, which just proves this is BS.
@@glens2019 he already had better starting conditions than everyone else lol. he just skipped over the phase of begging for starting capital and got everything handed from a (supposedly) random dude, including free food, shelter, and a driver for his new scalping business, also the loan for an office (super unrealistic for any homeless person). Take all that away and lets see how he fairs from a real homeless start on the streets with almost no actual help despite some begged change money. his project essentially proved nothing, if it even proved something, then its that you need MASSIVE help that almost no homeless person gets, only to make as much as a normal paying job. (also including a previous college degree, and business insights, as well as very good credentials and being sober+cleaned right from the start).
@@lich109 And on that he would also have to pay taxes, like everyone else
I just don’t buy the random “Good Samaritan”. Especially when this is at the height of Covid. He didn’t spend even one day homeless.
Height of Covid????
@@protosopic6398 The experiment happened back in 2020, he even said so in the vid
Another problem that i don't think anyone points out about making money while homeless is the fact that you cannot take care of yourself at all. I highly doubt you can find work at even the lowest levels of customer service if you haven't taken a shower or worn clean clothes in months, not even mentioning your deteriorating mental state due to not having a safe or quiet place to sleep or good food to eat
Getting clean cloths and showering isn't as insurmountable as most people think. Anyone can walk into a Salvation Army, or an equivalent charitable retail clothing store, and ask for a clean pair of cloths if they need to look presentable for an interview or something. You can shower at most truck stops, and it's absolutely worth it to save up like 20$ for a one month gym membership. Temp agencies can often get you working immediately, which can at least keep you going while you look for something else.
It definitely depends on the circumstance though; I was in a relatively safe city, with a cellphone, and still had a job, so I was far from rock bottom.
@@daboss640 That's good for one-offs and if the interviews always work out well but quickly becomes impractical if/when they don't.
@@daboss640 I want to look at this from the other side because you make a good point but I want to experiment and see if your point still stands. How did you know about this information in the first place and what are the chances that a homeless person has access to internet or these places you mentioned in their area (in different parts of the world)? I mean which countries are we talking about? What was the cause of their homelessness (could already be impossible or nearly impossible based on this alone). I'm assuming the worst of the worst is not included here like people who are near dangerous areas like war or people who have illnesses that are severe (things of the like).
I think that I'm clueless when it comes to this so it would be nice to hear someone else's opinion.
@@daboss640It's area dependent for sure so that does not work for everyone.
@@Hifuutorian That's why I suggested temp work. Though it's often too inconsistent to support housing, you can sign up to multiple agencies to make up the difference, and you may even get hired on directly.
Don't get me wrong, it sucks; you constantly get laid off for seemingly no reason, and it's very stressful trying to consistently get enough hours to live off, but at the very least it can buy you a lot of time. I did it for 2 years because I couldn't seem to get an interview anywhere (I've never been good at networking).
Pyro's hair actually looks good when he's not running the 1400's peasant cut.
lowkey
Goddam i laughed too hard at this
His haircut would vaporize a victorian child
This is the worst trim i ever seen on pyro no cap.
Glazing
Definitely the 1st day made a massive difference (assuming it wasn't staged completely).
A big problem homeless people face is, unironically, not having a home (or specifically shelter). This creates a situation of prolonged sleep deprivation which in turn effects your ability to concentrate, decision making, basically any mental capacity.
If Mike had been stuck sleeping on benches for like 3+ days everything would've gone way way way worse for him. Even in a homeless shelter you get kicked out early and you have to worry about people robbing you or attacking you. Having his own RV let's him sleep in if he wants (though he doesn't strike me as someone who sleeps in) gives him an all day base of operations, let's him store his stuff. All of these things homeless people do not have.
Another issue with flipping ecommerce merchandise also stems from this core "lack of shelter" issue where homeless people are often subjected to "sweeps" in which ALL of their property is taken away from them and usually destroyed. So imagine getting all this free inventory and posting it online and then you lose it all to a random sweep.
Finally of course getting phones and internet. If you get a phone how do you charge it, how do you get service, is it even something from this decade? etc... etc...
The irony of this is the 1 thing he wasn't was homeless apart from maybe 16 hours on the 1st day.
The phone is actually one of the easiest things for a homeless individual to get ahold of for use but a phone by itself does not pick up and deliver couches or drive your ass to a job interview.
@@kylegonewild
This is a common myth.
While technically many homeless people can get phones, a lot of them have no service or are prepaid phones with no data and a limited number of minutes. Not to mention the challenges of charging them when any time you plug it in you get kicked out or told to leave.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that homeless people all have the drive and work ethic that they require to recover from their situation. Many do not and many are guilty of exactly what you describe.
But perpetuating misinformation is not helpful to the ones that do have the drive and work ethic but are hamstrung by society and their situation.
You could just go to a place with free WiFi @@ian59
I hate his project so much, and I do not believe it for a second that he found somebody who just let him stay for free, that he got that job without an address, and that he found some random dude who just co-signed a property for him. All while being fully paid for healthcare across the entire experiment, having 0 debt and planning to sleep in the office instead of outside initially, because he couldn't stomach actually being homeless. What this experiment proved is he was helpless before somebody gave him everything he needed.
Words cannot express how much I hated that video. The best though is after he quit, as if anyone can just do that, he spent 250k to make 64k gross revenue, which means if a regular person did what he did, they'd be $186,000 in debt.
"I do not believe it for a second that he found somebody who just let him stay for free."
Is there something unusual here? I knew a few homeless guys who had permission to live in other people's flats for free. Maybe the fact that sometimes the temperature is -30 °C where I live, but I don't think it's impossible to find somewhere to live in other places.
"he got that job without an address"
I'm not an American, but I knew a few, and AFAIK, you can just rent some mailbox, isn't it true? Regardless, I'm pretty sure that some small gigs can be done by anyone without any paperwork.
"he spent 250k to make 64k gross revenue, which means if a regular person did what he did, they'd be $186,000 in debt."
I'd also like to add that no sane person would give that amount of money to the homeless. Even criminals know that it's useless to give those loans. And it is the worst part, not actually addressed here. Earning start-up capital is the hardest part for anyone from the middle class and below, and it is the part usually skipped in those challenges. It is easy to make money if you have any assets. Even $1,000 is enough to make some profit, but if you don't have anything or all your money is spent on food, then there is nothing you can do.
@@user-kh6nn4vj8m Yeah, there is something very unusual when you DM people and ask to stay with them for free because you're homeless, and not only do they say yes and drive to you that night, not only do they give you free stay in their RV, but they also give you their car to use when/wherever you want.
No you cannot use a mailing address for your job.
@@user-kh6nn4vj8m For some reason the other comment vanished, so to answer, yes there is something very unusual in driving to him that night and giving him both a car and RV for free, and no, you need more than a mailbox.
@@lich109 "you need more than a mailbox."
Can you please elaborate on it?
My knowledge about it is limited by an explanation from a few Americans I've already lost contact with. They explained that it is required only for an employer to send papers related to taxes, employment, any contract changes, etc. And you can just rent a mailbox and use it. I've tried to find an answer online now, but different sources give different information.
@@lich109 "For some reason the other comment vanished"
It's a normal thing on YT now. Sometimes comments just vanish and sometimes YT shadowbans them.
It may be related to the chanel owner or to the now-inbuilt YT auto-moderation. But the system is very strange: I was once instantly shadowbanned in the civil argument about electronics but one person in the thread openly used racial slurs, and his comment was deleted only a few days later.
-not in debt
-not severely mentally/physically ill
-not laid off/escaping abuse
So most of the reason people end up homeless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Chronorhe also used his solid gold resume and credit to secure housing, employees, and a headquarters on top of his existing contacts and experiences giving him more insight on what will sell well.
@@Chronor I wanna see you out on the street with nothing but your clothes and a severe depression. Let's see how your motivation to start a business holds up then. No actually I don't want you to go homeless, because no one deserves this, but being in that situation for a day might change your opinion...
Real
@@Chronor When you get bankrupt from medical bill, you wont be able to even get a phone plan nor a phone. When normal people go homeless, they desperately try to fix their current situation without forming an elaborate plan how to come out of being homeless 2 months prior that happens. After you realise how deep you are, you end up under a bridge in a cardboard box smelling awful, roaming and looking for scraps to eat. Getting that 1000$ Iphone and lucky to hog a free wifi from a mall before they kick you out is pretty far from your options at that point.
This dude got instantly picked up by someone giving him a home and food. He also already had a phone. He wasn't homeless for even 24 hours.
@Chronor physical handicaps are real btw, someone who's wheelchair bound, missing and arm or even just experiencing chronic pain might just straight up not have any options to go pick any items up or ship them somewhere else. In terms of mental illnesses there's literally a never ending sea of conditions that might inhibit someone's ability to do precisely what you described and if they push themselves to do it consistently despite it causing them severe stress it might worsen their condition. If you seriously can't imagine these things being that much of an issue that's "more of a you problem" as in you or your relatives are probably not affected by anything serious enough and you haven't been able to see that aspect of life.
No way he "found" an office space WITH EQUIPMENT for 40 bux a month...
I am glad to hear our lad stays humble 🤝
Damn i could afford to live there
Millionaire's credit score will do that for you.
Pyro didn't mention it, but he had a landlording side hustle too. As a homeless person.
@@Hifuutorian Maybe this is my country thing but don't you need a fixed home address to start renting space?
@@TheDoomBlueShell I guess I should have been even more specific: He didn't even spend a single day actually being homeless. He 'coincidentally' found someone who let him into their home...on the very very first day.
Because if he didn't outright rig it (which he absolutely did, see the sidehustle thing) he didn't look like a homeless person; he was a famous millionaire vlogger and that's what the dude would have seen.
@@Hifuutorian "but he had a landlording side hustle too"... did he get the income that it generated as well? I mean I assumed his company/companies would just keep on running but getting the proceeds off of it would pretty much defeat the whole purpose of this 'test'.
I’m currently homeless. Not by choice. This was a great vid but it just doesn’t work like that. A lot of people have assets with them going into being homeless. If ALL I had was my necessities then I could go anywhere. But I don’t feel comfortable begging for money so I had to get a job at really low pay just so I could eat. I also have a dog and we live in my car. The depression is real out here and I really don’t know if I’ll make it out because even with a low paying job at 60 hours a week, I’m unable to afford to pay rent. But my dog is safe so I can find some peace in that. And nobody gives away free stuff where I’m from. But I’m tryin
Best of luck to you man. Stay strong
Then how u commenting Liar
This too shall pass. While being fortunate enough to have never been homeless, I know what extreme poverty feels like. It built my character like nothing.
Sorry to hear that mate I've been outdoors decades ago and it was no facking fun,, it's cool seriously with your dog because that responsibility will keep you from doing negative shite, now I may become homeless again... although with these gadgets it puts a few new dimensions to the entire situation...
good luck man. i live in my car too. if you can, try to buy a cheap van and convert the inside for more space and comfort. a lot of people are doing that to avoid paying rent. you can install a shower and toilet in your van too, or get a gym membership. get a PO box for mail and find a friend who's willing to let you use their address for government stuff. best wishes
I like how if he went thru with the challenge it literally would have killed him but people still think being homeless is a choice.
It kinda is though, the amount of government assistance programs and work programs is endless
@@coldshock5181 Then why are you not making millions ? It's so easy, go and do it ? Oh wait, you can only talk shit and can't actually do anything when it comes down to it ? Shocker
@@YeruNitesky Lol did you seriously say that not being homeless equates to being a millionaire??
@@coldshock5181 I don't think that is mentioned anywhere, and the comment was sarcastic.

I hate these: "Anyone can be a millionaire" people, even the laws themselves are stacked against you when you're homeless or poor.
A homeless person could win the lottery, the most 1 in a million chance thing there is, and lose most of it in income tax.
One in a million is generous
that wasn't the point of the original challenge though, pyrocynical and the original twitter thread poster are distorting that the initial purpose was to prove that it is possible in order to motivate failing businesses during the pandemic
granted you can't go from homeless to millionaire, but surely it's possible to go from homeless to someone with a stable career.
@@zakarkgaming9530 I'm going to take your comment at face value and assume it's not a troll but I fail to see how any of this is motivational when it comes off as condescending against people who are homeless. If I was a homeless person and saw this video I'd break down in tears if I didn't have a single support network helping me. Meanwhile this guy, on his first night, has had a person offer them a bed and hot food without expecting anything in return (If we take the video at face value) and then has the gall to complain about the space of the RV he was 'living in'.
Whatever his intentions were are easily overshadowed by the main basis of this being: 'Proving you can just being homeless if you work hard'
@@zakarkgaming9530I watched the original video. It wasn’t about that at all.
How did he even start off with the scalping? He didnt have a car to pickup or deliver the items he brought, then he suddenly hires multiple people?
Another thing I hate about this challenge is that it is risked base, anyone can take out a loan and attempt to create a company, if it fails for him, oh well, project failed, if it fails for a normal person, anyone dependent on them is going to struggle and it will likely lead to repossession or homelessness.

He even acknowledged that luck played a role in his challenge - bad luck. Not only did he fail, but he disproved the point he was trying to make.
If some "random" good samaritan didn't pick him up off the street he'd have spent the whole challenge in a drain pipe or under a bridge. The bad luck was probably the only genuine act of luck in this endeavour and it immediately tanked the project.
@@blakepollock8074 For real.
Honestly I kinda don't respect him for 'cancelling' the challenge because of his own and his dad's health concerns. Do actual homeless people not have dads, and not get health issues because of stress? He just failed. If you wanna prove that being homeless is peoples own fault then you better see it through propperly. You don't get to go "okay this thing happened that i didnt see coming, so that doesnt count".
True
I mean, obviously he was correct to stop, but if he still can't change his narrative at all that's incredibly disingenuous of him.
Exactly, like yeah he should go see his dad, but then he should change the video to him learning that being homeless wasnt as easy as he thought and admit that luck plays a big role in success.
Nobody wants your respect you are irrelevant
i think you're using the wrong word. "respect" is a no words agreement between men and in this context it does no wrong
however, it is also not impossible for a buddy under respect to be on the other side of opinions, differing yours. at the very least it is called as 'disagreement with respect'
the very same reason men call to wars, not to pour evil on the other side, but to protect those who shelter at homes
This kind of man will never understand the crushing weight of life not being able to go "Ow well ill go back to my millions this kinda sucks" They are stuck out there not doing it as a fun side quest.
So the stress he had, imagine that x1000
Nah. Sounds like he had exactly that stress. Cancer, tumor and autoimmune disease doesn't sound like 0.1% to me. It's just that he had the option to quit and he took it.
Poor people have that exact same scenario, but they can't just go back home when they get sick.
@@Wyzai That's the OP's point. When you have a safety net and aren't doing this for actual survival, your stress is minuscule, compared to the people, who have no actual safety net.
@@Wyzai You missed the point. "Life Happening" is the very reason most people are poor to begin with. Him dropping the challenge was a low integrity move. Understandable move, but none the less completely proving him wrong. And that's before you start asking questions about all the "luck" he had during the challenge. Or prior experience, knowledge, credit score, etc.
this project is more like "i went bankrupt and need to build myself back. it's not the actual homeless experience. even people who are broke and make tooth fairy pennies, need to find the time to make a side hustle. you need money to make money, most homeless people won't have phones or friends, and a lot of them are due to lay offs, mental issues, or they've been raised in that environment and never taught properly. no millionaire can simulate being homeless.
I mean, a millionaire could just go off the grid
Not even bankrupt, this guy still had an insanely good credit score tied to his name, which he leveraged in order to get the office for $40 a month.
He also was landlording on the side (cheated his own challenge).
When I was homeless yes some people were nice and tried to help but 99% of the time your judged and and even get cops called on you unless your constantly moving. Even trying to get a job was hard if you gave any hint of being homeless or if they already know your fucked no job.
pyro, important fact about that Ludwig video: he revealed his "secret channels" name along with the whole idea on his podcast a day before releasing it to the public on his main channel. In fortnite terms its like playing zero build but with 5 porta fortresses
also he paid youtubers to mention
thank you for the fortnite explanation
fortnite terms lmao
During Ludwig's experiment he leaked the video on the experiment channel basically ruining the entire experiment.
Haven’t seen the original but I saw in another video that he apparently snuck into another creator’s stream, the very creator he was catering his very first video to, and circumstantially got reacted to live. What a highly adoptable way for **anyone** to build a million subscriber RUclips channel.
at most this guy proved someone with a lot of know-how and experience can make an above average income in a year, and when there's actually some life changing events that hinder him, his dad's cancer and his own health, he calls it quit, he buckles under the stress, that should be like an eye opening moment to think about the issues the average homeless person is also going through that hinder them, which are also probably the reasons they are homeless, unlike him who started this as a fun challenge with none of that baggage
this is type of stuff just makes people feel fine about the current state of the world, if you can think anyone can make it then the system isn't broken, that mcdonalds employee can become a millionaire, that street sweeper too, and that plumber too, even though nothing would work if that really happened
You forgot the bit where random people gave him an RV, a car and a property. That's not a joke.
I have a friend, who used to be homeless for 1 and a half year.
He was send to jail, got released when he was 18. but got addicted to substances.
When he was released, he spend a year with a house, and still had his phone for the years he was homeless.
You CAN own a phone. Many homeless people DO own a phone. So that argument "You cant be homeless if you have a phone"
The stigma, is that homeless people sell their belongings for substances. But not always. Its called HOMEless, not PHONEless.
He used his phone to find work, and charged it in libraries. And spend his nights under a bridge where theres heated tubes to keep the roads from freezing.
a phone is a lot cheaper than rent. So I don't see how it's unrealistic to have one, however it is a good point that you might not always have a phone.
TLDR: Millionaire goes homeless to prove its not luck (He Fails)

Unfortunately for the actually homeless, even if they have family they don't really get to just move back to take care of them or be with them. They don't get to go through any of this knowing they can just throw their hands up, say "I'm done I'll go back to being wealthy now" and wipe their hands of the inconvenience.
Just a quick point, the government does have programs to give out phones to the less fortunate. I worked with mobile phone companies for years (1st and 2nd rate ones) and we gave out these government phones often, or had programs that worked with the government to give out free phones with free signal.
He should try to do it again but now with amnesia,mental illness, and no phone and no support I wonder how well he’ll do now?

I was homeless and living on the streets for a year or so. Every single homeless person I interacted with for that entire year had a phone. After that I lived in 2 different homeless shelters for a few years and, what do you know, every single person in both of the homeless shelters I lived in had a phone.
this is still pretty anecdotal. I know about as many homeless people with phones than I know without. Phones are not a given.
@@reksraven6909 it is anecdotal. I never meant it to be anything different.
I like how he's authentic and never paid a single cent in taxes after slapping a 'company' together
(Not a furry, an IT guy tho). The reason to why a lot of furries tend to work on It is most likely the same reason why non furries do so, pretty good amount of money while no need to social interact more than most other jobs, as a consequence you can just go auto pilot for the needed social interactions and online meetings while also coding/performing maintenence with no physical or psychological stress and then waste all your money at the end of the year (Hence why they are able to buy 80 thousand dollar fur suits and pay more than 10 thousand for fanarts)
yo i need some furry friends to spoil me up
It's because IT is a job for autistic people and most furries have autism
Also the demographics in that field are more likely to even know how 2 be a furry compared to some kid from the hood
A good takeway from this is that the majority of homeless people aren't just regular people on hard times. They almost always have some underlying mental health, education, or social issues which need to be resolved for them to function properly.
Honestly, kind of a good thing. At least they aren't stuck within corporate slavery
Starting the challenge with an open bank account is already a massive head start. In most places you need a legal address to get ID to open a bank account and start businesses that pay the money into said accounts.
You need that where he was too if I remember right. I don't believe that he ever addressed that.
He severely underestimates how much a knowledge economy costs. To learn skills it takes time, and time costs money. Many homeless people can come from poor backgrounds, abusive families, low quality education, etc. the tech literacy or even basic economic literacy isn't even there in the first place. It takes time to figure out how e-commerce works, months of navigating different markets and websites, how prices and trends work, negotiating and getting a grasp on buyer behavior, or even basic social skills that your background didn't afford them to give, and they don't have the leisure to make the mistakes that it comes with learning a skill (especially a financial one they might be relying on, they can't afford to drop 50$ on something to flip/markup that might never get bought), a process that can months to even get to the basics of maximizing. many homeless people are in and out of employment, but many of these jobs are low paying and they have to spend what money they get on basic necessities first, they spend most of there timing worrying about food and sleep first and foremost, assuming they aren't being constantly berated by mental illnesses, financial debt, or have develop drug issues, hell they could not even have basic identification.

starting with a smartphone with unlimited internet access is not being from zero. if he started with a cell phone with just a simple sim card for 5$ maybe id be more valid
But it would've been kinda unrealistic, or at least pointless. I knew some homeless guys, and all of them had smartphones with internet access. It was probably not unlimited, but it is definitely not a cell phone without any access to the internet. And if someone doesn't have it, then there are always some government-related places with internet access for anyone.

Even if we assume this guy could actually become a millionaire again from nothing, he didn't account from the myriad of other ways in which homeless people are disadvantaged. Many homeless people are in debt, disabled, mentally or physically ill and/or are uneducated. Many also turn to substance abuse to cope with their situation. It's the things that we take for granted that we don't have to deal with that homeless people have to handle.
Rich person realizes its not easy to escape poverty, actually
Speaking of Insta comments/replies. I saw some cat video and one of the top comments being racist and the FIRST reply was "Fuck off. Go melt cheese, step in it and let me clean it off". Even the racist broke character to go "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING DAWG??!"

The guy was offered a place to stay because the stranger saw him filming and asked about the situation. So he told the stranger he was not reslly a homeless person but was doing an experiment. Well educated, good story, bang you're no longer homeless! That blew his whole real life homeless deal right off the bat.
we gotta go back to the first night again. he got a home on the first night. "homeless to millionaire in a year" except he was never even homeless...
Exactly. It was clearly rigged from the start. That doesn't happen for normal homeless people.
5:04 Pyro, when tasked with describing "a person walking down the street":
The issue isn't even if anyone _could_ be a millionaire. They can't, but even if they could it doesn't mean much because _everyone_ cannot be a millionaire; not even _most_ people. Not even 20% of people. There is a limited number of money to go around. The more people that are hunting for money the harder it gets. The harder it gets the more ruthless and unscrupulous people act to get money. This is why greed is a bad thing. We literally cannot all be rich and that desire _necessarily_ ruins society.
Its not limited money its how wolrd and human nature works. If everybody would be or most millionaires somehow how system would work, who would clean shit and garbage that people make, who would work in mines, who would produce food, gas, electricity... How can you make a lot of money if most people are millionaires and not having enough workforce except everybody making or have same salary, but that's not possible obviously😮
Funny you say that because you have a tighter understanding on money than the current government has with its money printing machines.
"There is a limited number of money to go around"
Money is just a construct created to represent the amount of goods and services in the economy. If everyone suddenly decides to earn more money in the most effective way possible while still following laws and morals, then the number of said goods and services starts to grow so rapidly that you'll see a surplus of everything. In that still impossible situation, everything would've been practically free.
“You’re not really homeless if you have a cellphone” wtf lmao

He just doesn't need to eat guys, that's the billionare meta
The sheer difference in mental state between a person who genuinely has nothing and a person playing a game where they pretend with a safety net is massive, this seems to be a factor that has been glossed over. (His dad’s situation seems incredibly testing and difficult, though let’s not forget people with genuinely nothing face challenges equally and almost certainly more difficult)
Pyro explaining what a business is for 15 minutes of the video
Guy doesn't have a clue. I knew that when he thought flipping was a scam. Every business with a product buys at a lower price them ups the price to make their profit.
Hearing "Live Life" from Sonic and the Black Knight at around 2:30 just hit me like a truck with nostalgia.
there is more types of poverty than just financial. Alot of homeless people are in what I call emotional poverty. The abuse they experienced as a child and adolescent made functioning as an adult harder which typically leads to more trauma.
Also love how real that ending was. Admiting to all the luck and timing you have an how appreciative you are still. Dont see that often people forget where they come from almost every time.
I prefer this over the pure slop, keep up the good work (pay your editors)
also a big part of him even succeeding is because hes well dressed and clean cut, grow a beard, wear older clothes, and grow out the hair a little then try again getting ANY attention from someone and theyll call the cops instead. they did an actual test with this where they showed the difference in how strangers treat nicely dressed versus not being nicely dressed and i can tell you right now the only reason at all that guy let him stay in the rv is because he was dressed well. and yes having clean clothes or even clean looking nice clothes is a LUXURY for the homeless
I'm pretty sure the reason the guy let him stay in the RV (he contacted him through text) and loaned him his car for nothing (after giving him the RV) is because this is faked.
I was in foster care. When I turned 18, they cut me loose and I had zero idea what I was doing. Homeless for three years through no fault of my own and most people treated me like garbage. Some even thought I did drugs simply because I was homeless! The only thing I cared about was trying to SURVIVE. Making enough money to start a business was the LAST thing on my mind. I was more worried about how I was going to eat and where I could sleep safely! It was pure LUCK that an organization for women took me in, even though I didn't meet their criteria. They taught me the skills the system failed to teach me in order to survive on my own. To this day, I'll never understand the discrimination against the homeless.
buying things and marking them up is literally EVERY store you have ever been to.
pyro has gone 0 videos without a breaking bad reference
I have seen a lot of homeless people on the street the odds of you being picked up on your first night homeless and given a safe place to stay and food to eat is about 1 in a million. There is no fucking way he didn't set that type of thing up since that is by far one of the hardest things to get going when you are living on the street.
This guy is either the luckiest guy on the planet or he intentionally cheated on that one because he didn't want to sleep outside where it can be dangerous.
As a homeless person with a degree in diesel engine repair, I can say with certainty it is really all about your connections, that's of which I have 0 of. Can't even begin to describe the struggle I've been through trying to find employment even at entry level positions without having anyone by my side to back me up as a reference, or a referral, people just see that I'm 19 assume I'm lying and move on. What a cold world
If you can scrape together a few hundred you can buy a windshield repair kit and walk around finding people with chipped windshields and offer to repair them for $30 to $60 a pop. This is a great way to make fast money. And most people don't know about it.
It's easy and fast. And most people will want it done so that they won't need a full replacement when the chip spreads.
Just a suggestion. I know it's not easy to just plop down a few hundred to get started.
It worked for me after years of living on the street.
Man I'm an O/O driver and think there's something wrong with your story. Truck stops across the country are in desperate need for diesel techs and half the time will hire a totally unexperienced person right off the street. I've met plenty that started with absolutely no background in it, so you should be an easy hire.

I was homeless this past winter. Literally lived under a bridge. I had a phone for the last month that only had internet access through WiFi (can't afford an internet provider without a job). Looking things up is only as helpful as the resources available that you can afford to access. That does NOT generally include booking a hotel. Hotels are incredibly expensive for the homeless. I made $10 last a week because I didn't know when my next generous donation would come in.
pyro got the fred haircut
Imma be honest, the real goal when you're homeless is to not be homeless, so he did pretty well, just that the goal of 1 million is too large, you'd need astronomical luck to get there in 12 months.
He only did well at proving he needed somebody to give him a home.
I'm not making a dig at homeless people, there are more homes than homeless, and that's BS since it's already been studied and proven it's cheaper to just give the homeless those homes than keep them on the street.
He literally got a free place to sleep the first day, which he would've never gotten without looking like an obvious not-homeless person (vlogging with clean clothes). Then he somehow got an office space with equipment for 40 bucks a month, which is practically free compared to what you'd usually pay.
So apparently the way not to be homeless is by being given shelter for free... great accomplishment.
As someone that’s been homeless for just over 2 years on the streets of Chicago, no one is trying to become a millionaire. The daily goal is to get enough money, the quickest way possible, to get food and shelter for the night. If you manage to get enough for food, shelter, and addiction (addiction is just the reality because it’s the only thing that keeps you wanting to live), then you’re done for the day and just enjoy it. For example, if by noon I have enough to get my drugs, food, and a hotel, I’m spending the rest of my time enjoying that hotel room and then doing it all over again the next day. As a veteran, I was on a waitlist for housing. This is a benefit that others don’t have. So I just had to survive day to day, knowing that eventually I would receive a free apartment. I also always had free healthcare for being a vet. The point is, that no truly homeless person is making grand plans for the future. It’s all about surviving that day, and surviving until you can finally get the place to live.
Remember when Mike knew he could and would quit homelessness within 365 days, developed a debilitating health condition due to stress anyway, and then got a cash infusion of more than a million dollars early BECAUSE he tapped out?
Pepperidge farms remembers.
Jfc get to the point
Pyro went broke from all the commissions he got. Rest in pepperoni
Something you didn't mention that I think is important is that even the guy himself suffered setbacks. He had to move and lose businesses and be closer to his family plus he had health setbacks. This happens to people all the time the difference is they don't all have money and family to fall back on or go back to. Some people have to move and lose a business and never recover. It's also extremely easy to remain motivated and dedicated to something when you know that failure isn't devastation, if you know when you call there's a bouncy trampoline you'll jump higher, you won't be so confident to jump if you know you'll hit the ground hard. Let this guy give away all his money and start again and then let him come back and tell his story. There are many factors. He didn't prove much TBH
The main reason I think this experiment doesn't work and it will never work it's because the subjects have the ability to quit, he had the ability to quit when his father got sick (which is totally understandable), he had the ability to quit when he himself got sick. Homeless people can't just stop beign homeless whenever they get sick, or when life strucks them down, they remain homeless, the whole point is that they don't have a safety net when things don't work out.
