“Overpaying In Dubai” A New Trend Is Putting Smiles On Faces Around Dubai
While the ‘safety in Dubai’ trend is slowly evolving into a safety concern (when content creators leave pricey objects around Dubai to prove it’s safe here) a video style is going viral that’s putting big smiles on recipients’ faces.
A video released by Bartmann shows him overpaying for goods in Dubai, and the reactions are pure joy. The unsuspecting business owners and services teams are generally confused when the German content creators starts handing them cash, but confusion turns to happiness once they realize he’s serious…
Did he actually just pay a couple of hundred AED for a pair of AED5 sunnies?

The debate over sharing good deeds publicly rages on
On one hand, sharing good deeds can help to inspire and encourage more people to give back to those in need. It can also help to raise awareness about important social issues and promote charitable organizations that are doing important work. We’ve seen brilliant examples of this here in Dubai where social groups like The Giving Family inspire thousands of residents to hand deliver free meals during Ramadan, by sharing content with a purpose online.
On the other hand, if the person is only giving back to the poor in order to gain attention or promote their personal brand, it could be seen as exploitative and unethical. This is especially true if the video is taken without the consent of the people being helped or if it is done in a way that is disrespectful or condescending.
It’s important that when creating footage like this, content creators should approach giving back to the poor with humility and a genuine desire to help others or to inspire others to do the same.
Bartmann confirmed to Lovin Dubai that he always get permission to shared the footage and he discussed why it’s important to him to share this type of content
Many people see this type of footage and question the intent of the person sharing it.
Barmann told Lovin Dubai that he does to motivate others. He said he doesn’t need to create this content for reach. & that does it from the bottom of his heart as he wants to spread positivity.
