I'll buy merchandise; I'm wearing a t-shirt from a podcast I like right now. I donate monthly to one online magazine I read. Mostly no, though.

Interesting. I’m in my 50s and generally don’t donate to these things, although I do donate regularly to groups I choose and some Go Fund Me. My birthday is coming up and Facebook keeps asking me to create one of those charity birthday things. I certainly don’t want to guilt anyone into something like that and have never started one.

When a Youtube content creator does a live stream to either converse with their subscribers or film content and share it live, it is not uncommon for them to receive donations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 from their subscribers.

I was watching a content creator live stream the other day where the content creator must have received over $300 in donations in just under 2 hours. The donations amounts appeared on the chat.

No to just straight up sending cash. I’ll often buy commissions/merch or donate to charity or whatever if people post a sob story though.

Literally never.

Perhaps it is an age thing?

And they wonder why they never have any money.

Nope. One of my acquaintances posted her Venmo, CashApp, etc. for her birthday. I found that incredibly tacky.

Nope

It’s an intelligence thing.

No.

No.

When they ask for donations through Cash App etc...

Do you donate to them?

How much do you usually donate?
