Can you fault them though? Everywhere you turn you're being asked to tip or donate. Influencers and corporations constantly astroturf social media. The rise of LLMs has made it necessary to question every interaction that occurs virtually.
Honestly, I worry for the people who aren't cynical and how they're going to be deceived, manipulated, or straight up scammed.
You can just not tip them, you don't have to assume they're out to get you and spread that cynical bs like it's based on anything. It's just virtue signaling with shitty virtues

Most cynical people don't assume everyone is out to get them.
Exactly! But you should use the internet with a heavy level of skepticism. Anonymity and the power to connect any one from anywhere is what makes it great, but is also extremely easy for bad actors to take advantage of.
I never blame the people asking for tips, I instead blame those giving them.
I'll list my Bitcoin address for anyone who would like to tip me! As I wrote out this whole comment for free, a tip seems quite reasonable here. If you disagree and choose not to tip me, that's ok since tips are optional...but please don't start rambling about how others should be tipping when you yourself did not tip me when provided the opportunity.

Seems legit. ๐
