I once posted a Youtube video from this man in my disability-focused community, in which he helped a lot of people get prostheses, because I thought was he did in his video was kind of cool.

I didn't know him back then. The post and the video got backlash I didn't expect.

Now I know him and I understand why.

I read that he has his giveaways, but he keeps it or the person that won is his friend or family or someone close.
