people request gifts from others all the time for special occasions.
like, someone sharing their registry for their wedding/baby shower
there's not only an expectation that you spend money for their special moment, but get exact things that are on the list.
and go to the exact store they want you to - whether its a huge inconvenience to you or not.
i think it's just become more socially acceptable to do that, and maybe people are uncomfortable with cashapp being more "to the point" perhaps ?
i feel thats where the "tacky" feel comes from. it just may feel too direct for some people.
honestly i can appreciate when someone i love prefers cashapp. huge time saver of trying to find gifts that they may or may not like or use. or placing orders online which can take minutes instead of seconds.
just send a coin and keep it moving. and they're super happy and it's exactly what they want.
everyone can use money - even if it's just saving it somewhere.
if anything i hope it becomes more socially acceptable to do that in more instances/occasions.
