I also tired of GoFundMe rather early. Every sap with a sob story had a GoFundMe. Now, some I feel true compassion for: funeral expenses, medical expenses, and the like.
But then I started seeing some that were like "Eh. Whatever". Stuff like "I need to buy my college books" or something where it's like "Yeah, you kinda need that, not really an emergency, but if you don't have the money and are trying to avoid credit, yeah, whatever".
Then the ones that are just blatant begging. "Hey, I want to go on vacation". "Hey, I want to move back home". "Hey, I want to be a streamer and I need all this equipment". Fucking sorry, mate. If I had $5 to pitch in for any of that, I'd pitch it into the "I'm gonna do that shit" fund before yours. I understand you need to live your best life, but not at my expense. Sad thing is that people I know have engaged in these.
And of course, just blatant fraud.
