Does doing something "for charity" give you special rights?

I was up Snowdon earlier this month on a beautiful day.
The queue for a photo at the top was silly so I didn’t bother. It did seem like people were spending a long time trying to take a perfect photo. There should be a queue for photos and a queue just to touch the top.
This is a photo taken earlier this month from almost at the top, took me 5 seconds to take and no one in sight, although there were probably people immediately in front of me.

That it formed showed that those in it had acknowledged they'd have to wait.

Only if you subscribe to Insta photo fakeness. There really is no need fir a queue for the trig point. It is madness to do so.

At one amazing place in the Andes Altiplano I visited was easy to get to (not far from a city) and loads of people doing the selfie and I was standing waiting for a clean photo of the object (not interested in photographing some couple I've never met with small bits of object showing. Whilst waiting somebody came up and said along the lines "I understand and you have more patience than me and, take loads of photos as people leave and next couple move in and there's a plug-in for Photoshop that will take all the images and cut, chop, merge, heal different bits of different photos to make one without the selfie people". I haven't researched into it but made me feel a bit less of a weirdo.

Some people are so obsessed with selfies they are even want strangers in tneir photos. In India I visited a lot of different active religious buildings and on a surprising number of occasions Indian people wanted a selfie with me - I always politely declined as I don't want my photo pushed up to social media ... (always at Hindu Mandirs).

Years ago when I was planning some big ride or other I hatched a plan to raise money by saying "If you find that someone doing something difficult inspires you to give to charity, feel free to use my ride as a reason to do so - on the condition that you don't tell me".

I'm not sure what point I would be trying to make, and I didn't do it anyway. Now my rides are too short and uninspiring.
