I wasn't sure what it was about this that was bothering me, but you just hit the nail on the head.

I'm sure someone will come along and try to defend it by saying that internet personalities with problems raises awareness for all the rest of the poor slobs who are suffering, but they don't really. All the concern goes to this person or that person who is having such a hard time. Their life is so hard, let's buy them a new laptop! They're in a rough spot, let's start a fandom auction to send them to Comicon! After all, this person in another city/state/country deserves it because they're poor but they write good.

Meanwhile, back in your own neighborhood.... but who gives a shit about them, what do they have to offer the fandom?

OP here

I wouldn't call her an internet personality, but that's because I only know her in context of her kink list, http://eliade.livejournal.com/472331.html, because I follow many kink memes, and while they all link to her list her name is never mentioned. I have used that post as reference over the years, and most of the time I never bothered to check who the author was. Which is to be expected, I know, as her list is public knowledge and on the internet.

As I said to other anon above, I do not feel like we owe her emotional or financial support, particularly since she's been missing for almost two years, or so it seems; but it would be nice to see meme moderators and anybody who links her list mentioning it was made by eliade.

What is this, think of the starving children in Africa? People aren't concerned about somebody they know because of great social justice, they're concerned because they have some social relationship with this person and care what happens to her. At a distance, for a lot of people, but that's the nature of internet-mediated communities. It has nothing to do with raising awareness, and doesn't actually need defense -- unless you think every instances of caring more about people whose lives have touched yours than about random people unknown to you requires defense. And if you do think that, your quarrel is with human nature, and it's not a quarrel you are likely to ever win.

Thank you, you said it so much better than I could have.
