When people are like "nobody would want to sweep the floors!!!1!1!1!1" all I can think of is this dude on YouTube that just goes around clearing drains and culverts cause he likes it.

There's a particular flavor of person for everything and even if it's not something you love to do, it's something people would be willing to do if it's not something you have to do 40 hours a week or your family starves.

Still I can't see how someone would volunteer working as a swimming pool life guard, though

This sort of thing is unironically the best thing about Youtube. It lets people do things like this, and make money from their activities through sharing them with the world. Obviously the money isn't the motive, but I'm sure he appreciates the Youtube revenue on the side, and it means people get to see someone doing something good that they'd otherwise be oblivious to, which helps the perception that there are, in fact, good people out there.
