The problem is there's no way to distinguish "I have to choose between heating my home during the winter next month, or having enough food to last me to the end of next month" and "I'm a greedy pile of human excrement so I will spin a heart-tugging yarn to get you useful idiots all teary-eyed and whipping out your wallets".

This is a major reason people turn >>>/unkind/ : the fear of their genuine desire to be kind being taken advantage of by trickster assholes. And so the numbing to others' suffering goes on in the name of not being made a monkey of.
