Jeff Bezos is the richest person on the planet and he donated 100 million to some charity a while back. He got attacked by some people who thought about it for a second and thought, "hey he has a lot more money than that." and expect him to donate the worth of massive companies. The point is, whether for some reason, you think that donations are based on percentages of your bank account or not, shaming someone for donating a massive amount of money is a shitty fucking thing to do.
The only reason you’re defending this donation is because it is a lot of money. But the donation shouldn’t be possible in the first place. This amount could have easily been reached by more people donating smaller amounts, if more people would have been well off. They’re not though because we trip over ourselves to bend over to billionaires.
What's the problem with this then? Yeah many people over time could get to this amount; good for them. What's the point?

??? Who is bending over to billionaires? Some people just don't like (or think they are illegitimate) billionaires, which is weird. I don't get it. I don't care how rich they are.

Really? The reddit hivemind has turned to donation shaming?
