It’s Sunday, March 9th and you know what time it is…what’s in my craw?
This is something that has been bothering me for maybe years. It’s something I’ve talked about with other people. And it’s frankly, mostly something that people “like me” are guilty of.
Influencers filming themselves doing good deeds. I know this is a slippery slope. I know there are arguments for doing it as well. For example, there might be positive exposure to some sort of valid cause.
But I remember the first time I really thought about it — and determined it was “gross.” It was when an influencer in the Midwest filmed himself giving a very generous tip (not sure that it was even the Influencer’s money) to a server. And made a big “to-do” about it.
Whatever happened to being humble and doing good without need for recognition?
Maybe I’m wrong. But it gets in my craw.
