Adding an Amazon wish list onto your social media?!

I can’t decided if this is cheeky/rude or not?!

I’ve seen that someone who I know (more acquaintance than friend) has added an Amazon “wish list” onto their Instagram and Facebook account. They often refer to it via “stories” or status updates that should anybody wish to purchase something on the list for her feel free to click the link.

To clarify, these are random items such as video games or stuffed animals/action figures from programmes they are into. They are in their mid 20s.

My first reaction was that I could never be so cheeky to create a list and offer it to other people to pay...how rude!!! But then I thought well it is the CHOICE of whomever is paying whether they want to purchase something for them or not so is it actually unreasonable?!

Strange one but each time I see a little status update I can’t help but be a bit taken aback at the confidence of asking people to buy you random gifts!

Each to their own I guess but I’m curious as to whether others feel this is really cheeky or not at all?! As mentioned, I’m undecided!

(Disclaimer: I know it doesn’t effect me and I don’t have to purchase something... this is just a curiosity post!)

Isn’t this to do with ‘compensated dating’ / ‘cam work?’ She is earning the gifts no just asking for them. Wink

@Queenunikitty No it’s just a link to an Amazon she posts, not with any pictures or video etc! The link is always there in the “bio” of her Instagram, which is far from an “inappropriate” page!

Yup, I came on to say what pp said. Sounds like she's got a 'sideline' going!

Maybe it could be that, what do I know! But she posts it as “hey guys this is my Amazon wish list if anybody wants to purchase something I’d be really grateful!” And it’s just a bunch of video games etc!
