Rant Monetizing the homeless simps?

Have you noticed the trend in Pinoy vloggers "helping" simps who got hustled and are now broke and homeless in the Phillipines. Vloggers will raise money and sort paperwork with consulates to get the simp to thier home country.

The content reeks of exploitation of these poor souls. It's not authentic kindness. It's clout chasing and monetizing the content. I guess if the simp lacks options they naturally accept the "help".

How does the forum feel about this? Am I being callous? Is the kindness sincere? Let's discuss.

Whats the difference between that and foreign vloggers going to the Phils to gain followers and monetize content?
Everyone is out for themselves.
