A $200 donation!

Post proof or STFU and stop posting.

And yes, the animal rescue I volunteer for, the person who heads it, does it all for profit. Idiot.

edit - I just emailed my friend who runs a non-profit community farm that feeds the poor and asked if she makes makes $500k a year. :biggrin:

Vdub did the stupid thing and apply a generality to all charities. It's ignorant and not accurate.

But there have been a FEW cases of specific charities coming to light as being not so charitable. There's a web site out there that actually ranks charities based on how much raised money actually ends up going to the cause. There's plenty of good charities out there.

I was watching Bisu stream on afreeca through snipealots twitch channel and hordes of fangirls were giving him $100 here $200 there.. i think he got like $10k in the 15 mins that I watched... maybe not - I'm not so keen on the Won to Dollar exchange rate...

93 won to 1 USD, so he did very well.

I've read that progamers in South Korea are treated like rock stars. They even have groupies.

 

[OCGuy]

Is that a lot of money?

$10,000 won is about $9,300 USD. If this is what he got then he did amazingly well.

He made this in 15 minutes? Sounds greatly exaggerated. I'm sure that he does well, but I doubt that he made $10,000 won in 15 minutes.

I NEVER ever donate to any game streamers. They don't deserve it IMO. I only donate to charity streams or charity in general. People who donate to support the stream are retards IMO. 90% of streamers are fake anyways. All they care is money and views.

Especially girls that are terrible at games but wear a low cut tight top and get views and monies.. Like tara bapcock(sp?).. That girl jesse something that used to be a porn star.. Mmmm bewbies

Do you watch sports?

Only F1, but only restreamers that bombard me with ads, so that I can get a glorious low-res stream for free.

Someone meant to type "$2.00"

You must be trolling at this point. Didn't you spend time in Korea? Both of these statements are completely different and completely wrong. 10,000KRW is roughly $9.30

I didn't say ALL CEOS make that much. But I was wrong when I said that was the average (thought I've seen that in the past).

Still, an average salary is 125k+ but many earn well into 500k range (take a look at maximum table)

I'm sure the good guys that do the real work get the least. Problem is, there is WAY too many "big guys" that shitty work that make WAY too much.

I actually went to a Charity company that my job donates money to and noticed all brand new European cars in the parking lot. High end furniture int he office area, new PCs , leather chairs and a warehouse that was 3/4 empty.

Regardless, Charities ARE A BUSINESS and business is in place to make money FIRST > services second.

It's a 300 BILLION dollar business

Vdub did the stupid thing and apply a generality to all charities. It's ignorant and not accurate.

FEW cases? Quite the opposite. Very FEW charities actually donate more than 50 cents on the dollar.

People can do what they want with their money, but

In sentences like this one, it is so often true that people should just stop talking before they utter the "but" or anything that follows.

"People can do what they want with their money." See the period? Done. Nice job. Move on.
