Why does he need money from subscribers if he only has months to live? If I had months to live, I would max out all my credit cards and go nuts. People are so quick to accept a sob story when the fact of the matter is getting a million views on a YouTube video only benefits you monetarily. He wants the world to know he wrote a sad song about dying of cancer? ...why?

If I had months to live, you can bet I wouldn't spend it getting the approval of YouTube. You ever read some of the comments on there?
I hope you realize that he most likely is not doing it for the subscribers. I'm sure most people think that they want to be remembered when they pass away, so what better way to do it through music? Do not be quick to judge that just because someone posts something on Youtube means that they are posting videos to get subscribers and money.

Hospital bills are expensive. Ambulance rides are expensive. And if you're dieing of cancer, you're bound to have to experience a little bit of both, regardless of whether or not your cancer is terminal.

Also, when you max out your credit cards, do you know who the debt collectors come to to get their money? Your family. They aren't just going to sit on their hands and accept the loss just because you died.

Also also, how does getting views on Youtube get him money? Unless they changed something recently that I'm not aware of, views =! money.

Nah, this is legit. This is a kid dying of cancer in, "months" who isn't hospitalized who is in good enough health to have hair, joke around, sing a song and work in a music studio and now all he wants is subscribers to his YouTube channel so.. he'll feel better?

That's money. He wants money. People who want money from you do not have your best interests in mind. People who use guilt to get money from you do not have your best interests in mind. I hate to be a jerk, but you can't just go around asking for money, no matter what your problem is. Most of us posting in this thread will probably die of cancer.. when your time comes, will you make a YouTube channel and ask for people to click that subscribe button?

You guys are jumping all over everyone for not Googling things

also: the YouTube channel that it linked to isn't even that kid's channel, it's a some YouTube guy's channel whose other videos are asking you to subscribe. This is a petty grab for cash, and it's sad.

Yes, Yes it is. You know what else was hard, having that in from the start of the post so that people didnt even have the chance to question the validity of his claims.

Or have you all not been around GD to see some of the more outlandish claims made that were far from accurate ?

Also, If he wants people to believe him and his cause he shouldn't tell people to justf'inggoogleit ... It comes off as being an arrogant jerk caught in his own lies.
