The video features Oliveira throwing countless paper towel rolls into his pool to see if it soaks up all the water. Ultimately only an inch of water was taken out of the pool with the towels.

Following the videos upload, various news sources like Independent^[3] and NY Post^[2] criticized Oliveira's video as a waste. He also received numerous critical remarks in the comment section. That week, Oliviera edited the video's description to say,

"Hey guys! To be honest, this video was a really bad idea. I was caught up in the idea of making a banger and I didn't really consider the net consequence on the world around me, and that's pretty messed up. Lately this video has been getting a substantial amount of negative attention on various internet news sources worldwide, and to be honest, I deserve the criticism on this one! Given that this video is receiving so much attention, albeit negative, I wanted to see if we could turn this big negative into a big positive!
