The Case for Kindness Echoed by Influencers Far and Wide
America’s trusted voice on finance and business, Dave Ramsey, host of the internationally renowned Ramsey Show shared his support on the #KindnessIsCool movement, encouraging others to focus on kindness:
“Kindness is cool. Here’s the deal: If you help people, if you love people, it always works out for you. Give it a try.”
Ramsey has launched “The Ramsey Show Highlights” on Gan Jing World, a channel that has brought together millions of people on YouTube. His new GJW channel offers a new environment and exciting space where varying ways of interaction are forging a deeper community.

Deeper Problems at Stake: Leaders Raise Concern for How Social Media and Internet Usage Are Affecting Mental Health, Especially for Youth
Gan Jing means “clean”. The New York-based social media startup is seeking to set itself apart from mainstream tech practices by putting traditional values, like kindness, before technology, and by taking a strict stance on data privacy.
Many parents are concerned about their children being exposed to explicit content and developing addictive online habits. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory warning about social media’s “profound risk of harm” to youth's mental health, and the risk of harmful content exposure and excessive use.
A Wall Street Journal investigation exposed that a popular social media platform is feeding teenagers “a diet of darkness” through steady recommendation streams to teens of videos on suicide and eating disorders.
According to Gan Jing World Media Relations Director, Nick Janicki, non-addictive algorithms are a distinctive and important feature of Gan Jing World. The platform prioritizes valuable information and inspirational content, freeing users from addiction loops.
Kyle Kemper, grassroots campaign manager for presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praises Gan Jing World for providing the world “a really beautiful solution.” He offered his congratulations to the fastest-growing online platform and shared,
“What the world needs is access to safe, clean, private, non-addictive social media or community engagement centers.”
New York State Senator James Skoufis expressed his support for Gan Jing World's #KindnessIsCool Video Awards, urging everyone to participate in the powerful message of kindness by getting on board with the GJW kindness event:
“At a time when there’s so much division in society, we need more kindness, we need more love, we need more thoughtfulness.”
