      Reminds of a certain YouTuber whose name sounds similar to the fungus used for baking.

    I’m against it because it is making money at the expense of others dignity. Also it is an appropriation and conflation of kindness and generosity with wealth, which undermines people’s self-esteem and celebrates consumerism as a solution to the problem of poverty, which has deeper systemic roots.

      Is it worth being “against?” Seems like the kind of act that is best met with apathy at worst.

      Oh, you gave some money away to make money. Okay?
