@TruthBeToldOO1 commented: “Peller’s gesture is commendable, but let’s not overlook the fact that this kind of philanthropy often serves more as a publicity stunt than genuine altruism. The market worker, while appreciative, might feel exploited for clout. Truth be told, charity should be selfless, not a means to boost one’s online persona.”
@tobathenurse said: “From going to the blind school and helping a random guy at the market with 500k, Peller is truly a nice person, God bless him.”
@AlphaMike001 wrote: “Kindness pays truly, but also at the same time know who you are being kind to.”
The heartwarming incident has sparked discussions across social media, with many praising Peller’s generosity while some debated the motivations behind such high-profile acts of giving. Nonetheless, the market worker’s story remains a touching example of how small acts of sincerity can be recognized and rewarded in extraordinary ways.
