It's still better than nothing.
If Uncle Ben's rice donates its branded rice to victims of a natural disaster - provided the containers say "Uncle Ben's Rice" - would you refuse it for a generic?

- dublinben 10y agoIf I were a relief agency, and those were the terms of their donation, I would refuse it. If they aren't willing to donate without making it a marketing opportunity, it's not really charity/philanthropy.
- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoWow. You would rather people starve than look at a logo? Wow.
- dublinben 10y agoNo, they would rather let people starve than not look at their logo.
- michaelvoz 10y agoThen I am glad you are not a relief agency...
- Grue3 10y agoThis is more akin to a church providing help to victims of a natural disaster... provided you agree to convert to its religion first. Uncle Ben's Rice is not an ecosystem.
- jshevek 10y agoStraw man - you misrepresent the argument. Uncle Ben's is merely a brand. After you've gotten used to one brand of rice, there is truly zero switching cost to switch to another brand.

- jshevek 10y agoThe existence of similar structures doesn't making switching costs zero, therefore the Uncle Ben's comparison remains a straw man fallacy.
