This keeps happening to me. I read a feelgood story, visit the wiki page and then realize how muddy the water is:
>> Monroe has been described as an "austerity celebrity". In a January 2023 interview with Simon Hattenstone in The Guardian, Monroe acknowledged that she had recklessly spent money given by backers; she claimed "I'd go online absolutely shitfaced and buy nice furniture."
Granted most poor people do stupid stuff after getting monies, but the charm of the tale is diminished.

Edit: I meant touching not feelgood.
