@jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social I am with you on this.
If this program benefitted small charities that do not possess large donation machinery and that would have otherwise received less if not for AmazonSmile, I am pleased to hear it.
I think the truth of the program's origin should be known, but I can see the positive side here - even if Amazon did it ultimately for cynical reasons.

@adamjcook@mastodon.social @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social why "cynical"?

@adamjcook@mastodon.social @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social I got into Amazon smile by way of my local judo club. Very small non profit. At the time I had already been using Amazon.com for most of my commoditized purchases, so no behavior change on my part. A couple hundred bucks in donations later, and the judo club can buy some uniforms for kids who can't afford them.
