For one, they can afford it. Two, it factors into my decision on the value of Prime to me as a consumer. Prime also offers me the ability to sub to a twitch steamer for free every week. That puts real money in creators pockets. YouTube Premium gives creators more cash when I visit than a free user. I enjoy using services that allow me to give back to creators.
- shepherdjerred 4y agoI'm not talking about Amazon Smile specifically. I'm saying that if this is how people react every time a charitable program is closed/modified, then companies have less of an incentive to have these kinds of charities in the first place. A company is essentially having to make a permanent, immutable financial commitment lest they face backlash. Yes, Amazon has the money to continue this program. Yes, I think they should keep it around. No, I don't think it makes sense for people to go bonkers over it ending.
