“real” they may seem.
When it comes to altruism and what’s real, the only thing that is real is what’s said or done in private that no one knows. There’s a difference between caricature and character. And obviously a large part of social media is going to present themselves as people of great, dignified character. The other (large part, too) are going to present themselves as attention seeking, caricatures but to varying degrees. Each has the same goal, though: To be seen as some thing redeemable and/or that yields a reward-whether that be attention, or an occupation made from it. Period dot.
That’s the nature of social media.
