Huhm, I needed help, then someone helped me, and then I found out that the person actually used me or the help he/she rendered to chase clout. I don't know for anyone, but for me I will still appreciate that help. I was in dire need of something and you came to my rescue, you helped me out and I was able to sort and overcome whatever it was I was facing then, then I will be grateful to you. The only thing is just that I would feel somehow towards the person, not as if I won't feel grateful, of course I will, just that I will now start seeing that person differently. There are some situation that when you're in it, you just want to find every means possible to get out of it, so now seeing someone who's ready to help you, but is doing it to gain attention, of course your own concern is just to get out of whatever it is, so why not take and appreciate the help.
About two months ago, I heard the story of a man who was in a very tight situation, to feed his family was an issue, to do little things was problem and he didn't even know the best thing to do. He was relieved from work due to health reasons, he even went for this labour work for like a week before he stopped going because his health is not good. To cut the story short, he received some visitors sometimes and they told him they're there to help him, they gave him money, foodstuffs and all, while doing and giving him those things he found out that they came with camera and they began to record the whole thing. He felt somehow about it at first but just felt, well it's nothing. A week later, he saw himself on the internet crying and appreciating those people, all the things that happened and transpired between them in his house when they came was what they posted, including his emotional moments. The man felt bad about it, as the comment section of the post began to gather various comments and all.
There are also those who were praising and thanking the group of people who came to his house on his behalf too. That account began to gain more views and followers, and the man didn't really have an issue with that, what made him feel bad was how the comment section was used to discuss his situation and all. The people who helped him were actually interested in the views, followers and attention they will get. Although the money and foodstuffs they gave him made a huge difference in his home, still he felt embarrassed.
So what I'm saying is, one might be in a situation where you just need to meet your needs as soon as possible. There's a huge difference between helping and chasing clout, if you want to help, feel free to help without letting the whole wide world know about it, must you show the world heo helpless a person is before you came to their rescue, must the comment section always be used to praise you while also dissecting the problem and issue of another person. I understand that some actually share this things just so to be able to encourage others to help and give out too, but you will surely know those kind of people. They are not the type who jump on the internet every single time they do something.
There's this guy I love so much, he's a Nigerian skit maker, Brainjotter. The guy does a lot of charity works, and you won't know. He posts very little about it online while he does his thing. Some aren't doing it for clout chasing, some actually just want to help, I remember hearing him say he loves the feeling behind helping people, knowing you're the reason someone is able to eat, to have a roof to stay under, to get necessary treatment and all, he said that feeling is enough.
In conclusion, I will definitely accept such help if I truly and really need it, I will just know within me that this person isn't actually helping me because they want to help or because they love me, but because they actually want to chase clout with it.
