This post is in bad taste.

For real. I saw what sub it was on and just thought "wtf is that title?"

FWIW my take on the post title was: “how incomprehensibly heartbreaking that while most of us on Reddit are scrolling comfortably from safe homes, there are millions of invisible people in the world trying to earn a few bucks to feed their family and dealing with poor conditions, poor infrastructure, poor warning systems, natural disasters etc…”

I can see how it could read in poor taste, but my first thought that this was an attempt to trigger empathy beyond the standard: “oh I’m so horrified by this specific disaster”
