Btw, he was trying to prove poor people are lazy. That was his goal.
Coffeezilla interviewed him on his second channel, it provides more insight than all these clickbait articles https://youtu.be/3B9AnLnleoE

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Now write "I will not believe a word the Daily Heil publishes." on the blackboard 100 times. 
Sorry! I just felt that it had meme potential!

A good experiment to show to libs, if nothing else
It's not. The way the article is written it completely ignores the tremendous amount of privilege this rich cracker had and makes it sound like he would have won the challenge if not for some extraordinary circumstances like his dad getting diagnosed with colon cancer (probably from the consumption of copious amounts of red meat).
Fair enough
Now class, what did we learn today?
honestly good on him for atleast trying to commit for a year. most youtubers who do this 'experiment' go for a day.
He had an apartment given to him by a friend and had health insurance
Agreed but apparently after failing he still committed to saying poor people are lazy and stupid.
Yeah but if I hadn't become ill or had found a well paying job or didn't dislike the cold and hunger in those first few days when I actually 'slept rough' and if CBS had picked up on my marketing gimmick sooner so that a venture capitalist would come along with $millions to invest in my very innovative idea of selling dog coffee (I mean, that is genius, I bet nobody else has thought of selling dog coffee before), I would have made more than one measly million. When others fail it's never for these reasons. It's always laziness. Anyway I'm back to my mansion now that the health scare is over due to the phenomenal health insurance that I had throughout the whole time. And I'd like to thank every major news organisation in the Western world for boosting my story; that venture capitalist came along and it turns out that they were as impressed as expected and I've now made that extra mil. Bye losers.
Yuhp, and in those challenges, their friends gunna pick 'em up on car and technically that's no dollars wasted on them, so yeah, that's when the challenge becomes very much bullshit...
these are deeply unserious people we're dealin' with...
