Pyramid guilting

Combines "pyramid" as in pyramid sales, and guilting, to provide a collective descriptor for all those items of social media content that seek to get themselves viral by exploiting human decency and empathy.

Individually they are generally good and moral, but as a collective phenomenon, they are experienced as moral blackmail and only cause empathy fatigue and insidious alienation from the causes they seek to promote.
That pyramid-guilt post was trying to suggest I wasn't loyal to my friends unless I liked, shared and copy-paste posted it to everyone.

Pyramid guilting is usually bad and wrong and 'poor me' attention-seeking but, just sometimes, it really is done for a sufficiently good cause.

When Cindy cleans the house, she creates reverse pyramids here and there, and then is AMAZED each and every time they fall down! If the Ancient Egyptians would have built their pyramids thusly, they would not have needed thousands of years to become ruins!

Contrary to the beliefs of self-proclaimed psychologists, Pyramid Head is nothing more than a mindless, semi-human, spear-wielding maniac, as told by Konami, the company behind the game.
