I don't have problem with it, and I don't think it's necessarily sad. Thirty years ago I was making a living as a street musician. I always threw a silver dollar into my guitar case, right when I started. I felt it was good luck, and also, people get the hint!

But I look at this the same way. People might need to look like they have some friends, before other people think they're alright.

Now how about you? When you see someone with lots of "friends", do you think they must be popular, and you should agree with everything they say, or do you still read what they say critically?

I thought that the first Trump rally was full of paid audience members, but then look what happened. Some people are follow the leader types.
