I can't wait until someone nominates me, I don't do it, then everyone gets angry and says I must like the disease or something.
Have you not seen the videos? Like you said, most 'average joes' haven't heard about it until now, when these videos have started popping up and generating millions of views each. And guess what, now millions more people know about the disease and more money can be donated to help find a cure than if just a few people had decided to donate a couple hundred dollars each.
The point of the videos is to get attention for the disease, and from the fact that a lot of these videos have millions of views proves that it's working.
