    celebrities are not expected to solicit donations for charities. if they care about charity they should just donate from the millions they have, instead of asking poor people to do it for them.

      You’ve never heard people complaining that they should use the platform they’ve been given for this or that? Also they do donate typically but I’ve noticed no amount short of every last dollar they have isn’t enough.

      Well except they’re not asking poor people are they? They’re asking everybody. And it’s just an ask. If you don’t want to accommodate the request then you don’t have to, but going on the internet and publicly discouraging people from advocating for the needy just because they’re wealthy is not helping anyone, especially the needy.
