The selling of Augustin can barely be described as a Job. This is a non profit organisation which helps homeless people/ people in despair not to rely on begging. I don't now the exact split they get from the newspaper revenue but its not a fortune. Probably around 50 cents per sold copy.
The prove he gave is that steemit can actually help people in the real world. It's not like he is exporting crops to africa at no cost, so the local farmers die out.

I understand your concern, but I don't see how he (flurgx) is exploiting them? "European" Beggars as you call them are usually (talking from a berlin perspective here, maybe it's better in vienna) drunk/high/self defecated that its a pain to even talk to them.
So why not help people who are obviously trying to improve their life through honest activities without turning criminal?

I talked to every Beggar on Alexanderplatz and none of them wanted to start a simple waterselling business because they were afraid of the cops. I offered to pay for their first batch of water bottles but no one said yes. Every one of the "european" beggars had an excuse. They went off and started begging again.

This is anectodal evidence, I know, but for god sake please don't put down other people who really and honestly want to help fellow humans who want to change their life for the better.

If you have a better suggestion please go ahead.
