It bothers me a lot when you see reblogs of those tumblr posts of people's sob stories, begging for money. I'm not talking about people offering art for money, I mean those who do nothing but plead for money. Whether the story they tell is real or not is a whole other problem. Everyone struggles here and there, I get that, but to do nothing but beg strangers for money is no better than those people harrassing others out on the street.
I may sound heartless but if I were in their shoes, I know I wouldn't be harrassing strangers online. Offer something in exchange, you don't get something from nothing. I'm not giving anyone money to pay for their car or rent. For all I know, it's really for them to afford the newest phone or video game.
