I'll never understand spending that money like that instead of helping kids with cancer.

Probably one of the several reasons why I am not rich.

    You know spending money doesn't make it vanish into the air right? Someone else has the 6.2 million, and it can still help kids with cancer.

    I never thought I'd ever see someone argue against helping kids with cancer DIRECTLY when we have excess in the palm our hands, and yet here we are.

    So you're saying he should have wasted that banana when there's children starving in Africa?

    No you plant the banana and let it multiply so you can dig them up in the warm season and feed many

    Sadly, that's not how bananas work.

    Yeah you put them in the ground and then the flowers bloom on the tap root that comes out the end of the banana. They are then fertilised by earth worms and once the bananas ripen you then pull them out as the bunch we all know and love.

    You're mad at the wrong person. He only has a banana. The banana "artist" has $6.2 million now. Why aren't they helping kids with cancer? I suggest you go yell at them.

    Some gifter who managed to convince the world that a banana was worth 6.2 million dollars has that money. They won't be helping anyone but themselves.

    I hope crypto-bro stole that 6.2 million from a cartel, and his next video involves people with machetes showing him how they feel about it.

    It's even worse than that. The banana isn't the actual thing valued at that price. It's the exhibit, an abstract arbitrary concept. The banana and duct tape get replaced periodically. This person is just eating a banana for the attention.
