When does commenting and discussing become exploitation? I posit that it's when someone makes money off of it.
Think of the upcoming canonization of Carlo Acutis. Currently, he's popular and there's much ado about him. He was a religious teen who loved God and understood computers. He made a web site organizing the Eucharistic miracles up to his time until he died of cancer at the age of fifteen.
We need role models, especially the young people, but is he being exploited?
Even the nay sayers who look to rain on people's parades are publishing articles criticizing Carlo Acutis. Worse, are people selling souvenirs of the teen!
I rest my case.
