Don't Scroll Without Typing "Amen"

[Jamie]

Look at this post I saw on my Facebook.

Let's deconstruct this a little bit.
1. Facebook has decided to help by giving money? Literally no evidence.
2. Why wouldn't they donate money in more reasonable ways? A like is 2 dollars? What?
3. What the **** would typing "Amen" do?

I don't understand what kinds of idiots fall for this nonsense, but it ended up being shared on my profile anyway.

What do you think about these things? I'm sure 95% of the kids in it are fake, but do you think there's any merit even if they were real, with real, recent stories? Do you ever type "Amen" out of even a superstitious reason?

One like = one prayer

would it not be easier to set one of those online donation website thingys (I dont know what they're called). I deleted my facebook page a couple of years ago because most posts were either food or babies and it was bumming me out but these posts were definately the worst for me so no I didnt ever reply to posts like this.

I ignore **** like this and focus on the pugs and French bulldogs on my feed.

Wow, he's making a very obvious cry for attention. It's like he's on facebook or something.

Amen. One like = one cry

This sort of baitposting is mind boggling because it doesn't mean anything at all at the c end of the day. Youd sooner ask for donations than for some preteen to smash dat mf lyk

Before I remade my facebook, and lost ~90% of my friend list, I saw a lot of those weird "type 'amen' if you agree" etc posts all the time. It's either a guilt trip thing or an ego thing. People think they are superior by doing "holy" things—like typing the word "amen" on a ****ing facebook post lmao. And it only counts if other people see it!

Isn't there a thing about doing good things without being noticed? The God they want to appease would know you sympathize without you having the publicize it. They're sheerly doing it for attention in that case. I don't really see the point. It's actually kind of creepy.

It's almost sociopathic to lie about Facebook giving money to a sick kid to get shares and **** on Facebook. It's really kind of ****ed up when you think about it.

I've never seen that layer of the insanity before. I repeat. C r e e p y.

But if you're not gullible and a soft touch you are a terrible person who wants a baby to die of cancer!!11

I've had a couple that I'm inclined to believe were actually about a real person. Where the family made a page because their kid is fighting cancer. Usually they had an actual donation site set up. They also tended to post updates of the kid's condition. Those are rare though.

Most are just like/share bait designed to make people feel better about themselves like they are somehow a better person for like/sharing those things. I really don't see the use.

Facebook baitposts are so far down the list of indicators of the kind of person they are, that it isn't even on the list.
