@cinja@ioc.exchange @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social They complain it didn't have enough impact, but they didn't advertise it enough. Didn't keep reminding people the donations only happened if you used the "smile.amazon.com" domain.
And if their goal was to help small charities, I think they failed there, too. Probably most people picked a big charity they were familiar with rather than research smaller local ones.

@jack_of_sandwich@mastodon.sdf.org @jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social I think you're spot on with all those observations. Not arguing that it was a shady move. I am still disappointed that the program is ending and ended up being revealed for what it was. My kids school (a charter school) got double benefit from it -- teachers would have supply wish lists, and when people would use smile, the teacher got the supplies, and the school also got some additional funding .
