More Folks Are Coming Forward After Copping Random Acts Of Kindness That Reek Of Viral TikToks

More folks are realizing they’re probably unknowing participants of the viral “random acts of kindness” TikTok trend. This follows a woman speaking out this week after a TikToker made her into a sob story for the #content despite the woman not knowing she was being filmed. In the r/Australia subreddit where our nation’s best and worst ideas fester, the biggest thread of the past 24 hours began when a confused user claimed their groceries had been paid for by a stranger. Turns out Aldi Hurstville is the centre of spicy tea spills in Australia right now. Who would’ve guessed?
