one of the main premises of the goon fund is that you dont have to give me a story, i dont want to know what you're going through, but most people do. So I glaze over it and just ask for a paypal of venmo, and get the money where it needs to be. I feel for you but I don't want to know or have your personal poo poo in my pms.

Pewdiepie posted:If true this would be very easy to prove! its not rare for people to pipe up in conversations about the fund, or donation appeals for it in other threads, and thank plinkey/everyone for helping them get thru a rough patch or two. there is no absolute proof, and given how casually it seems to be structured, idk what proof there could be beyond testimonials. suffice it to say that enough people have seemed sincerely thankful for it that the alternative explanation is that plinkey is using the money to pay goons to praise him. so either plinkey is using the funds to pay goons, or hes using the funds to pay goons. if you doubt the fund, dont donate to it and dont ask for money from it unless youve exhausted all options you find more believable.

The amount of whiplash I've received, merely for asking for proof the money is being used responsibly, raises more than a few red flags for me as an interested goon. As I mentioned before, if true, it should be easy to provide this proof you speak of.

Rah! posted:im proof ps gently caress you Would you be comfortable sharing a small detail - how much did you receive? That is all I would like confirmed. Feel free to PM if posting it publicly is uncomfortable. Not directed towards you - but I would like to add: Just because one person received money does not mean ALL of the money is accounted for. I think it would be responsible and wise to figure out an anonymous way to ledger the donations, so that goons can know the money is being used as intended.

It's not like the food bank ever asked for proof either. Feeding the needy will mean you feed some greedy, but that's part of creating a net good in the world.

Hi. I haven’t posted here before. I don’t donate to the patreon because I think that would be a conflict of interest with the site, but I do support its existence which is why it remains stickied. Im posting here to say that if you’re just going to come to this thread to poo poo on a good thing for your own self righteousness then preemptively gently caress off, thanks and god bless

Even if 99% of the money ended up being sent to people who are liars who turn around and spend it on legos, the 1% of money that went to someone in actual need of help is worth it. If someone asks for help and you have the means to help but you don't because you need receipts, that makes you the rear end in a top hat. P.S. You're the kind of person that would take the money and buy legos. poemdexter has issued a correction as of 19:33 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Like a decade ago Goons gave me $150 to pay vet bills for a dog that followed me home, I didn't even have to ask. Goon charity = best charity.
