What Do you think? 

Let’s Be Clear, Those Chain Status Messages We’re Asked to Paste On Our Facebook Wall Are Just Emotional Blackmail.

“I’m going to say goodbye to some of you…… now I’m watching the ones who will have the time to read this post until the end. This is a little test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading!

The cause varies — cancer, depression, mental health, forgotten army veterans — but the pressure is the same. At one time it was just a request for solidarity and support. Now it’s morphed into what feels like emotional blackmail rather than just tugging at the heart.

It might be for a good cause and I do not in any way doubt the sincerity of those who post it, but it’s passive aggressive nonetheless.
