Stop yelling out the window/ALS fundraising

[Jaybee00]

This article is relevant to Covid, but posting here because of this sentence, criticizing empty social media gestures.

......

Consider an example of such empty social media gestures: Of the 17 million people who shared their A.L.S. Ice Bucket Challengevideos, 14.5 million didn’t contribute to the A.L.S. Association or even know there was a cause.

I guess this looks bad, but if my math is right, then 2.5 million did contribute, which is huge. The Ice Bucket Challenge raised $220 million https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Bucket_Challenge which is massive, about 10x OMF. We need some empty social media gestures for MECFS.



Stop Yelling Out the Window. Just Give Doctors the Masks You’re Hoarding.
