Steemians! Stop Falling For the "Feel Sorry For Me" Posts
I know I will likely take a lot of flak for this but on several occassions, I have seen the "feel sorry for me" posts here on Steemit.
These posts earn quite a bit of upvotes which equates to monetary profit.
How many of these posts are vetted and validated?
Dont fall for the nonsense! If you want to give to people in need, validate their claim first!
Or, just be a sucker.
Yes indeed, it's a shame so many people are so greedy and have 0 integrity to make false charity claims. It harms so many people who are in bad situations already, as less people believe the truethful and honest requests for help. Working on it. I'd be honored if you check my latest posting for STEEMFEST, where I write about this.
I will most definitely take a look. Following as well.
No flak. You're saying what many are thinking, I'm sure. I hope the days of integrity has a revival.
My biggest flaw....i say what i think :)
THAT is what you think your biggest flaw is???
;-)
Thank you for being spoken out! That is really needed.
Thank you. I am just trying to bring awareness
I totally agree, but you know....it's been pretty tough here, what with the high electricity bills from running the A/C non stop and all. So if you could see it in your heart.....may god bless your kindness.....may Odin crush your enemies....
It's so sad that the few pwople who abuse other peoples charity ruin it for everyone. I think its great that the community can come together to make a difference in someones life, but we need ways to check and validate peoples claims in order for communities like steem to not become breeding grounds for scams and fraud.
100% agreed...im going to work on that.
