Cards Against Humanity is Digging a Massive "Holiday Hole" for literally no reason

The popular card game, Cards Against Humanity, has started a new livestream on their Youtube Channel Called "The Cards Against Humanity Holiday Hole" and is now accepting donations.

There is literally no purpose to this hole. On the official website, HolidayHole.com, they say that "Unfortunately" this is real. 
 
At the time of posting, there is roughly 14 Hours of digging left, and $5 will pay for 2 seconds of dig time. Over $88,000 has been raised so far and many $5 and $10 donations pour in every minute. 
 
It's unclear where this hole is, and what company is digging it. It's actually pretty interesting, they have cameras mounted inside the excavator, on the bucket of the excavator, inside the dump truck, and around the hole. I'll probably end up archiving the entire thing on my NAS, just because. I would've loved to watch this kind of thing when I was 4-5yrs old and obsessed with trucks.
 
Here's the link to the livestream, incase the embedded video doesn't work. (Why isn't there a preview feature?)

I wish my job was thinking of nothing and then getting paid for it. Remember last year's gift of nothing? This is a little better than that, but it's still the same thing.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

they also had an anti sale where they increased the price by $5 for no reason. Another time, they sold 1' square pieces of an island. Honestly, the CAH people are amazing people and marketers, because they do batshit crazy stuff like that.

$91,000 and a hole in the ground...not even a donation to anything. Really is in the spirit of the card game...unfortunately this isn't sarcasm.

Suppose this is proof that there are some that will literally throw money down a hole.

I realize this was already moved, but what on earth made you think this had even a wafer thin, spurious legitimacy as tech news? I really am curious because this really is next level misposting.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

There's nothing negative about it, not like they're screwing anyone over nor lying, they're just doing something silly and people are freely giving them money.

 

And OP, you're the third person I've seen post this.

People are still making a fuss over this?

 

Just some  marketing for people to react and search what's "cards against humanity" is.
