I worked for Change circa 2010 ~ 2011. Interesting to see how their revenue model has changed.
IIRC they were previously making money by building email lists for non-profits and other orgs that would essentially contract Change to get them exposure.
From what I read here, seems that wasn't really working out. Not sure what to make of becoming it a crowdfunding platform.
- thejosh 9y agoYep, so much spam from change.org after signing a petition, had to unsubscribe
- ben_jones 9y agoThis strikes me as an organization that should be run similar to Wikipedia. But I suppose its far to late for that.
- notatoad 9y agoThe difference is that Wikipedia actually provides some public benefit, whereas change.org doesn't accomplish anything so there's not going to be many people interested in donating resources to keep it running.
