The people having sudden emergencies or offering small commissions when they're tight are definitely way more common but I can think of at least seven different individuals I've seen consistently (at least monthly) beg for donations. That's just off the top of my head and potentially past tense, because once I start recognizing the usernames/handles and who's replurking them onto my timeline, I turn off that friend's replurks. It's never remotely money enough to live off of on its own and usually not a gofundme, just "help I'm x short this month can anyone spot me?" type requests with payment options. Not crowdfunding sites or even kofi where people can see them getting money, just PayPal/cashapp/etc. Sometimes they're only asking $20 or so, but sometimes it's hundreds. Sometimes they claim they'll pay it back when they can but when that never happens people stop jumping in to help, sometimes it's a vague 'when I get a job' claim, sometimes it's just the donation request.

I don't see the need to put anyone on blast when I don't know which are still actively begging or even around anymore, but these people have definitely existed. Just not in the numbers wg likes to imply, or as stereotypically. And the description you gave seems like a cross between those consistent begging type and the 'emergency crowdfund but then they go on a shopping spree' type, which have also existed but I can only think of one individual who'd fit in that Venn diagram's overlap and they were ousted years ago.
