Using the caption, “He needs appreciation and all praise,” a user posted the video on Twitter. People on social media, on the other hand, expressed a contrary opinion and emphasised the challenging situations in which the man seemed to work to make a livelihood. The man is visible sitting atop what looks like the end of a long piece of scaffolding protruding from a building that is a few floors high.
