MU girls asking for money for "helping them financially"
I’ve noticed something that genuinely confuses me.
With how accessible online learning and freelancing/upskilling opportunities are today, I’m surprised by how often random people on Instagram, sometimes even students from well-known colleges like NIFT, BITS, MU etc. ask strangers for money or “help financially” in DMs.
Not judging anyone’s situation because everyone has different circumstances, but I’m curious about the social/psychological side of this
- Is it normalization through social media?
- Easy validation/attention economy?
- Or do people just see it as quicker than building a skill online?
Would genuinely like to hear different perspectives on this.
Girls have reached out to me and they're like we're doing this since you're cute, and charming, we don't do it for everyone, but isn't it the same, a violation of personal integrity? And they say they get paid 30k-50k a month?!
