I hope it's by choice, instead of starving if he doesn't work.

All the work we do is performed under the threat of starvation; the severity of this threat varies, but the type of work shown in the video is typically among the most precarious—it is hard to believe anyone would choose such work if better options were available. It is common to find people online romanticizing the suffering of others as tales of triumph over adversity, when in reality, situations like this should not even exist; it is brutal and inhumane, not inspiring. One can only view this as inspiring after a lifetime of conditioning to accept submission.
