  Pretending to be poor is the most disgusting reprehensible thing that wealthy people do it’s so gross. I don’t understand how they they don’t die from shame and embarrassment.

  I like  "Animal Rescue" stories (who doesn't?), but I block any channel that focuses on that theme because eventually you realize a  percentage of creators are manufacturing the circumstances that the animals are rescued from and us viewers are unwittingly incentivizing animal cruelty.

  Nothing surprises me anymore.  I used to get angry at behavior like this, but i've become jaded and now i'm more or less indifferent.  i realize i can't assume that people are always good or ethical.  the only thing i can do is become aware of such things so i can protect myself.  also, not that i'm approving this behavior, but all things considered, there are much worse/harmful/darker ways to make money than "selling misery" online.
