Can someone help me understand how dumping ice water on famous peoples heads helps save other non-famous people with ALS?

As someone who lost someone close to me from ALS and has tried to raise awareness/money for over 5 years, it's good that at least some attention is being paid to it. Even if a few people actually donate the cash, it's more than if the ice bucket challenge never happened.

Taylor Swift did it with 25 other friends and donated $2500. The video has over 200,000 likes in 2 hours.

I get what the two negative people said in the article but ALS/MND doesn't have a large attention share to detract from and raising money for it is hard. The dude's dad died and he isn't a fan? My boss's husband died from it and she's a massive fan.
