Exactly this. People need to be able to see exactly who this character is. IMO he's not really there to help people, he's there to help himself and to profit from people, usually people going through an emotional time which makes them vulnerable (exactly the way the WTS looks to recruit people at moments of stress in their life).
yes yes yes. Profiteering from people who would offer an arm and a leg for some company is diabolical. I am not against donations and all patrons kind of suff etc. But at the very least it should be done in a transparent way and definitely not under the tag of some professional activism.
