Blogging, podcasting, websites… whatever it is on the net… people are doing and posting shit all about themselves. Now, there are people who post useful and informative, even educational information. We are all or should be, thankful to them. But the thing that has been pissing me off lately are the jack offs asking for DONATIONS on their blog or website.
OK a long time ago “affiliate programs” were invented. Therefore, when you see that Amazon banner on this site for instance… it means we get a small cut if you buy what we’re promoting. Anyone not know this? Oh… I forgot we have fucktards in the world. Many sites/blogs use an affiliate program in effect to support the costs of having a site. You typically find “google ads” or Amazon for that purpose. But of course ads plastered everywhere is annoying, and asking for flipping donations is kind of desperate. It was YOU who made the choice to get a website… not the world because we were just dying to hear from you.
This site used as an example is a website created for OUR own fun. If other people read it then cool. If not, then we still get to rant and bitch about the stupid assholes in the world sucking up all of our air. This makes us feel better and prevents us from causing the bodily harm to fucktards like we daydream about. Ads aren’t plastered everywhere because the goal isn’t to make shitloads of money.
Over the years I am seeing more “Donation” button/links on websites. Which means some dipshit thinks you are dumb enough to donate money to them to support their need to blog or build a website about themselves. Most often they don’t care if they have nothing to say, or even if they are running some sad business. They feel entitled to ask people to give them money by displaying a donation button or link.
Um isn’t that really called PAN HANDLING? I mean, I sure think it is. The worst is when you see it on a commercial site who already is using affiliates to make money or charging for some service they provide. Yet they want your money desperately enough to also BEG for it too. See, the word DONATION works in a positive way for The Red Cross, Animal Shelters, Agencies for Children, Cancer Foundations etc. There are real and genuine “CAUSES” there though. Donation, as defined pretty clearly on Wikipedia means… a gift given, typically to a cause or/and for charitable purposes. A donation may take various forms, including cash, services, new or used goods as i.e. clothing, toys, food, vehicles, emergency or humanitarian aid items, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation
Your stupid blog or website is not a “cause” and has probably very little “purpose” to the world. The average moron using a blog doesn’t really deserve a donation. If you believe your life mission is to help people and you can find a way to charge them for it then we call the ENTERPRIZE, baby. But it isn’t a charity…. Though you might be a “charity case”. What I mean is that if you are a business of any sort (not a charity or non-profit agency) asking for donations then you are pathetic too.
Asking for donations on your website without a genuine “cause” IMO is tacky and classless. If you have a business and your clients want to give you holiday gifts then let them. Let them ask you where to send it or how they can do it. But for Christ’s sake… don’t advertise that you WANT them to do it…..loser. Show some CLASS. Poor and lazy people beg, not people who can earn their own living.
If any morons out there feel that this site has taught them some manners, has made them laugh, or inspired them in some warped way… and you strongly feel the urge to =do something.…. Email us a compliment. Subscribe to the blog. That’s enough. Our “cause” on this fucking site is our OWN self-indulgence…. And it doesn’t need to be financed by anyone other than ourselves.
Do yourself a real favor, don’t give your hard-earned money to the LAZY. Donate it to a real cause instead.
