This speaks volumes of the cultural differences between different social networks. On the fediverse I routinely see peopy begposting that they can't afford rent this week, with a link for donations.

People may or may not choose to donate. I seldom do, because I'm broke myself, and I usually don't know the people making the request from a bar of soap. But it seems like people often get the help they need, and no one makes entitled comments like the ones you quote.
