• Can I get an TLDR?

  The "manor" example is one of the few points I've seen brought up in response, but it's far from clear-cut, as the forum posts linked above explain. Feel free to draw your own conclusions from them. I'm not convinced it was the best use of $15 million, but I also don't think that buying a medium-price-range conference center was an obviously bad idea, and the money came from private donors (not the standard EA...

• What about people like me who struggle to feel financially safe?

  Sure! None of the ways of donating that I know about (directly to the charities themselves, EA funds, others here) have a minimum amount or anything like that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you give to charity?

  It’s easy to look for excuses not to give but donations can make a big difference, especially if targeted in the right places. See comments further down about Givewell and Effective Altruism. https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Effective Altruism As A Tower Of Assumptions

  Good news: If you want to support global health and development but not animal welfare, you can just donate to the Global Health and Development Fund! None of the money will go to anti-factory farming charities. Even better, you don't even need to go through EA: You could donate directly to charities recommended by GiveWell so you know exactly who's getting your money. Source: over 1 year ago

• Making 3D porn is "easy money"?

  I still have to try https://ci-en.net/, https://slushe.com/, https://ko-fi.com/, https://catbox.moe/, I heard they were possible good alternatives. But I couldn't say, dunno yet. Source: 5 months ago

• Rogue System Reboot

  I did, however, remember another crowdfunding platform that may be the best of both worlds here (second highest voted so far being Patreon). Ko-fi: it offers both monthly and one-time donations as well as a store where we could sell things like early access keys or things like that. Their fees are very low as well, capping out at 5%.

• Regarding Somerton's supposed drop in Patreon support earlier this year

  With everything going on with Patreon lately that's probably why I've suddenly started hearing about Ko-fi this year. Source: 5 months ago

• Horseplay [OC]

  Checkout ko-fi.com and see if you dig it. It's a much, much, MUCH better deal than Patreon. Source: 5 months ago
