Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations charity evens, and so on; the person is always going to be the one that makes an extravagant or abnormal contribution, publicly. Now, it's a very underdeveloped sense of morality and social intelligence to only look at the final results, and then rank them based on how extravagant their contributions are. A child giving a hand drawn card to a family member is much more sincere and heartfelt that someone giving an expensive car. Likewise, an anonymous donation is going to arguably be more sincere than a very public donation to charity. It's not necessarily evil, because it can have good overall consequences, but the intent is shallow and it's almost always due to some form of impression management.
The reason they do it of course is because it works. There will always be people that sing their praises, like you, people that don't really think and have less mental development. There is nothing wrong with releasing a cover video either, as long as it's under the guise of they made it because they wanted to make it and wanted popularity from it. That's honest and you can really respect that. To replies that try to make out that it's really genuine and this is just jaded and I can't feel empathy, it's obviously the opposite. I recognize the good intentions, but I also recognize the impression management strategies. I can make distinctions between when someone does something completely selflessly, and when they have some selfish motivating factors. Getting people to donate to charities is fine too and is usually part of a successful charity campaign.
