Family,
What are your personal feelings about people filming the good deeds that they do and putting them on social media?
Do you feel like it's exploitative, especially if they didn't get the expressed, explicit permission of the recipient of the good deeds?

Do you feel like it's exploitative, especially if they didn't get the expressed, explicit permission of the recipient of the good deeds?
Do you think it undermines the good intentions of the person filming it by tainting it with possible clout chasing?
Or do you think all of that is worth the risk because of the hearts it lifts and the people it inspires to do similar acts of good?
Or all/some/none of the above?

ADDENDUM:
I see some folks have gotten why the explicit/expressed permission/consent part is important.
And even if that person gives their permission, I have to ask: Isn't that "permission" inherently under duress?

Won't most recipients of someone else's generosity say "yes" out of fear of having the thing they needed, the gift that was given to them, taken back?
Or because they wanted to be nice to someone who was nice to them, so they say yes because of that and they really would prefer not to be filmed and have it posted?
I find that our understanding of consent is really based on our own desires and conveniences.

We understand the ins, outs, and nuances of consent when it comes to our own consent.
But at the same time, we act like we don't know what consent means when it's us depriving another person of theirs--when understanding consent threatens to inconvenience us or deprive us of something we want or want to do.
Seeing it through this lens, it becomes easy to understand why r*pe culture remains so embedded, strong, and pervasive.
