Imagine if we encouraged this sort of behavior and Instagram was full of people helping others instead of people showing their ass.
- O__________O 4y agoThere have been apps in past that focused on getting people to actually take action doing good. If for some reason someone is interested in working on platform like that or knows of a one, feel free to comment.

Instagram is full of people filming themselves helping poor people. Mostly in public, mostly not asking for permission to film and I hate it. It's charity porn, it's demeaning, degrading, patronising and most of all attention-grabbing. They're using other people for their own benefit (views, likes, subscribes).
