“””There’s something about that aspect of this that disturbs me.”””

It’s based on an immense selfishness. It’s all about “ Look at me! See how great I am!”

Yes. I think you nailed it there. I don’t like it for that reason.

The term being spread around the internet for the last few years is "Virtue Signaling."

It is the usage of attention attracting acts to signal to everyone about how "virtuous" you are.

Didn't the bible mention something about someone who prayed loudly so that everyone would notice them?
