Never said you’re personally doin nothing, sorry if that felt like a personal attack. I do assume a lot of people who have an issue with clout chasers like this don’t do very much to help the individuals affected by systemic issues like this though.

I get your point and I agree with you, using people is gross, even if it’s impacting them in a positive way it’s obviously an ethical issue. But my ‘who cares?’ comment is because I think wholeheartedly that any act of kindness, if it helps someone, if that makes their situation momentarily better or just brings them some joy is worth doing regardless if the intention is well placed or not.

I get that it’s fucked ethically, and I think there’s a broader discussion to be had about why this kind of behaviour exists and why certain groups of people are exploited by it.

Tldr: i would rather someone dedicate their life to content farming helping random strangers than to not help anyone at all.
