Awww I do love this genuine compassion! Because hell yes, I know the fake and showy one way too well!

At some point, I became too frustrated with LinkedIn because of all kinds of manipulation including influencers false empathy and kindness! What upset me the most is that too few folks seem to pay attention and fall for the trap!

I once watched a video that collected thousands of reactions on LinkedIn. The actors are a heterosexual couple. The woman knocks on the door of a family.

A mother appears accompanied by her kids. The woman is holding an amount of money and moving it to make sure it is well captured by the camera.

Without taking even a second to build a rapport, she announces to the mother this gift is for her. The mom is confused.

The actress is faking being moved by her reaction — without tears. She only has words. Everything is filmed. End of the story.
