It totally depends on what you mark good and bad. If you mark shallow, screaming articles as bad and they continue serving them you’ll soon switch to another platform. It’s in your responsibility to use the tools wisely.

I would be okay if they used 20% of my donation to venture for goals that I don’t know yet I will possibly support in the future. That also applies to messaging. But as said the rate is more 80%.

Banks are highly regulated and risk averse. They won’t transfer 100 USD to some country when it takes them more than some percentage of the transfer to do compliance for it. So the transfer is legal but banks can not do it compliant and eff
