I'm not saying it's a grift, but I'm not saying I'd be surprised if it turned out to be one as well.

Internet people are weird. Not all of us though, obviously.

Is it really a grift if the person is upfront about asking for money to pay their medical bills and there's no expectation of a product that isn't being delivered? GoFundMe isn't pretending that there's a laptop or shoes or something expensive and then not delivering aka a scam, it's straightforwardsly asking for money to pay for medical bills.

I meant "grift" in the sense of the illness could be not real or exaggerated.
