Maybe if you directed your energy to places other than policing the cynicism in this thread you'd feel better. That said, I'd love to hear about how impotently projecting your blind positivity into the universe does anyone any more good than some of the negative posts in this thread.
Nobody is complaining about the 1000 people getting their vision back, everyone here agrees on that. But people rightly have feelings about capitalism, about exploitative media, healthcare, about the fact the guy is an aspiring billionaire. There's a conversation to be had around this beyond a montage of us all clapping in slow motion and smiling at the screen.
You guys understand that he already won just by you give him more attention than he deserves?
“Okay, is good that helped those people, but he is a scumbag that wants to get rich in a system that reward attention both good and bad… wait a minute”.
No need to clap when is easier to not participate, specially when the reason you guys are mad is that the publicity stunt that helped a lot of people will also make him more rich, something that most people will not find fault (even if others find it gross).
You guys bitched for years about how everyone need to be kind (even if forced), but suddenly forced kindness is wrong to you.
