Originally shared by the X account IShowReports, Speed made the decision to donate half of his winnings to support humanitarian efforts for those impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Many social media users responded promptly to the announcement of Speed’s donation, with many commending the content creator for his choice, even if they are not typically fans of his content and behavior.
According to a tweet from a user named X, they stated that although they do not enjoy the actions of the person in question, such as barking and acting like a clown, they have to admit that this person is incredibly humble and genuine. The user further expresses admiration for how this individual gained fame without the help of social media, showing true talent and earning respect.
“One individual also commented, “We played a role in making the right person famous.”
Despite the close battle, Speed was able to reach the final platform first, winning the challenge.
Those familiar with the content creator were not shocked by his victory, as Speed is renowned for his exaggerated content. He recently gained widespread attention for his participation in a cheese rolling competition.
