- throwawayay02 5y agoAfter GoFundMe's cut of course.
- gnicholas 5y agoReally? My reading was that the donations will be refunded in their entirety. I will say that I find GoFundMe's tactics around fees to be distasteful. It's been a while, but I recall having selected a donation amount and then being asked to pay an extra fee "so the charity doesn't have to bear this burden" or some such thing. Basically they just wanted to increase the donation amount (which increases their fee), and they were using guilt as a tactic.
- culi 5y ago...This is just incorrect.
- wrycoder 5y agoThat was not their original plan. They saw the pushback coming from many fronts.
- cpncrunch 5y agoIndeed, and the article mentions that too.
- olliej 5y agoThat wasn’t the case when I read the article. They changed their policy after being threatened with legal action.
