Thanks for voting again. It seems like this week will not be a success at all... Where are the big voters when I'm trying to actually make a difference? This is way more valuable than anything else I post. I guess the community disagrees.
Please stop. The point of upvotes is to get better content on the site, not bring crap to the top for personal reasons. Also, Altruism is sacrificing oneself to the benefit of another, and there is nothing good or moral about it. Helping others is a good thing, but sacrificing yourself to do so is not.
Anytime you need to plead for votes you are not using the platform, you are attempting to exploit it. Instead of putting up quality content to get votes, you are putting up a sob story and pleading others to give you money. Although when I first commented I didn't realise there was a section dedicated to it. Still, this is not content but begging for money, and I don't encourage begging.
Sorry that some of us are trying to use the platform for good. But I'm not sorry. And I completely disagree.
There is no sob story here (did you read my post?) and this is content. Just because the post comes with a call to action doesn't change the fact that it is content. The post brings awareness to a group and a cause and talks about good people trying to make a difference in the world. That's worthier content than any of my art or musings about anarchy.
Can We Raise X$? Upvote for Y? You don't even mention the name of the charity in the title. It's plain pandering. Part of creating quality content doesn't include asking for upvotes so that your content trends.
Upvoting again this week, I was taking the weekend off but am glad I checked today. I hope people step up this week.

It's depressing to see bot-generated content make the front page every other day and then a charity post like this is DOA...

Thanks for stopping by Ayn Rand. I'm not going to stop making charity posts simply because you don't believe it's "good content"

I can see we're not going to get anywhere with this discussion. I was just trying to do some good here. Have a nice life.
