Why it worked
The creator directly appeals to the viewer's empathy by sharing a personal struggle (school debt) and a clear call to action (repost, donate via GoFundMe or direct deposit), making it easy for viewers to understand how they can help.
Summary
The creator is asking viewers to stay for 30 seconds and repost the video to help their GoFundMe campaign for their small business and to pay off school debt. The video also displays direct deposit information for their school account with ABSA bank.

Product placement
GoFundMe: a platform for fundraising for personal causes and small businesses. It ACTS as a platform for the creator to raise money. Removing it would change the video's purpose. ABSA: a bank. It APPEARS as the institution where donations can be made. Removing it would not change the video's purpose.
