Watch This Youtuber in Haiti
I support a DJ named Antoine in Haiti who does this stuff.
You can still have a good time in abject poverty.
This is the part of Haiti you visited according to your own post (purple line).

Close up of the area of Haiti you visited (purple line).
Close up of the area of the DR you went there from and returned to.
Regarding tree cover, you would be more realistic if you were to say "the area of Haiti that I visited looks like most of the DR," because that's what happened.
You don't have to go to Haiti again to see what much of Haiti is like. Simply travel on the International Highway that covers much of the border between the DR and Haiti like these people did.
And yes, once upon a time most of Haiti was similar to the part you visited regarding tree cover.

I left that to the reader. In this case drstock.
Who knew you could make money on poverty porn? I learned something new from this OP.
Regarding La Famosa, there is a Haitian version that makes products in their Haitian factory. However, notice the Haitian labels are in English and French (Dominican La Famosa is in Spanish) and the logo is of the entire island instead of just Haiti (Dominican La Famosa has just the DR). The ones in the video appear to be the Dominican version.

So there you go. When in Haiti, if you want to support Haitian productions and Haitian workers, buy the one with the correct logo, are in English and French, and has the Haitian flag on a corner. If you buy the one with the DR logo and in Spanish, not only are you supporting Dominican productions but most likely it's contraband and in detriment to Haitian productions (we all know Haitians need help in job creation more than anything).

Yes, he's a professional Youtuber. People earn a living from publishing videos and you get paid on the number of subscribers and views. So if yo make crap videos you don't make any money. Some people make an obscene amount of money from posting videos like unboxing the latest gadget, cooking etc, fixing stuff etc. I personally follow a few YouTubers that create great content on topics that I am interested in, such as fixing old cars, flying small planes, crypto currencies, cooking etc, and this guy came up on my feed.
He makes his money by travelling to different countries and creates very well produced and intelligently scripted films all by himself. Is he an idiot? I don't think so. He heard that Haiti is a dangerous place and went there himself to find out. Just like he did when he went to North Korea or Lagos.
He doesn't appear to have a political agenda and has posted his video warts an' all so that people like us and see the true desperation going on there right now.
Are you going to slate him from earning money like that? It's what he has chosen to earn a living. And what an interesting life he has.
Try follow Mr Beast, the highest Youtube earner, he makes $4 million a month and he just opened his own burger joint in NJ. Youtube is a great place to make money if you have right content and at right time then you might be lucky.
Thank you for letting me know. A pleasure to hear from you again. I said in my previous post that I am not going to argue, or this could become one of your pages long feuds which, I believe, get you a break from DR1 from time to time. I don't wish to join you.
You are both lucky, the sax player is playing painfully out of tune.
You're right. I just figured out that I had accidentally clicked on the mute icon in the browser tab. After 10 seconds of that I reclicked it. Still, they had a good time and I'm happy for them.
