      Even if you’re giving to a stranger, you’re more likely to give to someone similar to you.

      So rich people will have more empathy for other rich people because they have more in common.

      For a typical person, they’d feel comfortable asking directly, one on one, maybe 3-5 people they know. When they put their GoFundMe link on social media, though, that might be seen by hundreds of their contacts, including friends of friends, acquaintances, and coworkers. It’s much, much more effective than asking directly.
