It makes me sad to see people who donate or contribute to charity for popularity. The idea behind giving blood--or other community services--is to help society as a hole, not your ego. Charity should not be flashed like a status symbol.
If a charity is wasting time and money developing systems to stroke your ego, they should just skip the step and sell themselves to Fleshlight. Their time and money should be spent on improving the lives of those in need, not by stroking off some people.
- DanBC 11y agoThis is a simple and cheap method to get more people to male the altruistic[1] step of donating blood. It's not much fun; it's sort of awkward for some people; we could probably do woth more people donating blood. The blood banks have a choice: spend money on tv ads, or spend money doing this. Why are ads okay and this terrible? [1] I'm not interested in philosophy of altruism.
- gravypod 11y agoWho said ads are okay? Wasting money that you promise to put towards a goal on something else is, in my mind, wrong. People already know donating blood is a good and charitable act. We don't need someone to tell us that.
