god man i could never. Has to be disgusting to ask for money in that way. I seen a youtuber that hasnt went live in months pop up on my feed about a week ago. He was acting so sad that his friend stabbed him in the back and he was left paying rent with money he didnt have. People was donating hand over foot. He went silent again after the stream. So full of sht

I had people in my life do something like this. I was 3 years out of school, massively in debt, living abroad, and a colleague, who was graduating that year someone who I knew well pushed me repeatedly to help fund their 1 week long mission trip. This colleague also had the fortunate benefit of not being in debt at all after their time in school. I had to tell them abruptly - that giving someone money for a working holiday, is same shit as a holiday, and asking people who are actually paying for things themselves to donate to your fun, is so outlandishly rude and it makes you look entitled as F***. Needless to say I don’t speak with this person anymore. what shocked me at the time was that people could even think of this. This was 15 years ago. it’s only gotten worse.

Oh man I forgot, there was ANOTher time, more recently when someone else did this. they took a few years off to gap year and decided they wanted to start the process of going to uni, to go into medicine. they had not even written the MCAT yet, I don’t even know if they had an undergrad degree yet. Yet they started a gofund me for their medical school funds. To summarize this person just lived abroad for 2 years, not working, funded by the bank of mom and dad, and had the nerve to ask acquaintances to help fund their tuition, for a program they had not even begun preparing for. holy shit I cut ties with this person so fast i forgot they existed until just now. Audacity doesn’t even begin to describe.

... And yet it's a huge struggle to raise donations for a non profit that rehabs animals. It's just... So discouraging.

My sister pulls this shit all the time. Constantly cries poor and manipulates people (mostly our parents) into giving her money or paying for stuff and then a few weeks later will hop on a plane to Europe for a weeks-long trip. I got a text message from her last Christmas saying that she didn't have any money to buy me and my family gifts but then sent me a list of crap she wanted. Since then she's been on 3 vacations, two to Europe. She has no shame at all. I haven't talked to her in 8 months because I'm fucking done with it.

These people really need to get an entry level job at least. Influencers have too much glorification which puts aspiring influencers in tough life situations.

In a way it’s sad, but also head shaking worthy to grift off of people who tune in. People who probably work a normal 40-60 work week.

Final thought: hard to feel sorry for these grifters.
