So my question(s):
1. Do i now just ignore peoples crys for help i could hardly say i hang out with?
2. Hardly hung out with the ppl on the gc (only two ppl, excluding me) but created on understanding that we trade info to get better grades on course- this gc was created by the brainlet. Do i still help?
3. I dont want to help as itll increase my competition and/or create a cycle, dont like my class, feel used (unless i like them/""friend"", or they are just stupid) Is this bad? I want to persue a Phd
4. I got 4.0+ in burgerland. Do i lie about what i got to get off the radar, although some already know my previous work

You have to reject them in a way that makes them feel good OP. For example, if someone asks you for help just say "sorry anon, but I'm watching game of throws later today. Did you get to the part where X event happens? It was great!". Another example, "sorry anon, but I have to grab lunch. I'm super hungry , and X is on the menu today, one of my favorites, and definitely don't want to miss out!"

Awesome!
But most of them are via text messenger apps. How do I go about it on this plarform?

Should be easier in this case. Just use the game of thrones example, but also send a picture of something from game of thrones (pull something off google). The additional picture will buy more credibility in your statement, and will often be something enjoyable for the recipient (remember, a picture says a thousand words). You can help them a little bit afterwords (wait a few hours after the text), but you should try to use one of the excuses 75% of the time, and help the other 25%. At least this way you can still remain on good terms, but cut down the frequency of their requests for help.

Yeah, how about using the word NO...
