Passive aggressive 'apology' making it all about her - check. Emotional blackmail and downright lie to try and gain sympathy - check.
It's pretty simple, Binky ( as are you). We are in a cost of living crisis. People are struggling to make ends meet and using food banks. You are an incredibly affluent individual who has never done a day's work or graft in your entire life. You were very lucky to be born into extreme privilege and have never struggled financially, have never known anything other than immense wealth.
Your 'career' is grifting online, bagging freebies and being a smug twit. Even if 'everyone is doing it' doesn't make it right. Perhaps take this time to read the room, take a humility check and realise that you are part of the problem of societal inbalance. Perhaps stop all this balls and start looking into how to use your wealth for good, as it is your only asset. You're not talented and you're not especially intelligent, but even you must be able to see why your behaviour is abhorrent in the extreme. Grow up.
And companies that do this and affiliate with these cretins can get to duck as well.
