no, it's not just you. this is begging and using emotional manipulation (unemployment sob story, 'but these four are the only eggs I can share with you this month, one of them being a gift :/' is clearly expressing disappointment over not being given more eggs to compensate for their lack of funds).
using phrases that includes/invites the reader like it's some sort of community effort ("share with you", "follow me on this journey", even having a whitelist of donators on the first post encourages users to join the list) is cutely disguising the fact that this doesn't benefit anyone in the community at all, only aoi. it's similar to how content creators will say "we did it, [creator's 'familial' term for their viewers]!" when reaching subscriber or view goals and creates a 'relationship' that is meant to keep people wanting to contribute more because there's an imaginary bond between the reader and writer. i'm sure they're going to sell all the dragons they don't want, and they're going to profit off of the completely free eggs they're getting.
tl;dr: it doesn't matter if you're unemployed, if you can't offer to pay for the things you want, you wait until you can.
i say report at least one of the posts saying "user is begging in multiple posts for donations with emotional manipulation", and report the first page for callouts (like the operacake thread, where the donations list was removed from OP because staff doesn't even want positive callouts to prevent others from potentially going to those users to harass them)
