Linking to the evergreen College Dropout GoFundMe CEO skit.
"I run a website that hosts popularity contests, and if you lose, you die!"
- Classic
  “I think there’s something wrong with the teleprompter. I see their faces begging me for help?”
- Tumblr CEO is a good pick-me-up after 😅

The GoFundMe CEO hopes younger donors, who are often more values-driven, digitally native, and community-oriented, will push giving higher and faster.
He doesn't want the bad situation to get better, just make his company more money.
- As a response to user complaints concerning the brutal side effects of capitalism we at corpcorp present:
  CAPITALISM 2.0 now with even higher projected profits!!
  Buy in today, receive your trickled down share down the line!
this is arguably the best community on Lemmy
Is he hanging in there?
- I was curious, so I looked him up. Apparently, he is estimated at $50 million. That's way more than enough to retire, but i will say I was kind of shocked at how low it was. Guess I just expect to see these people in the hundreds. Who knows, it is just an estimate.
I wouldn't start a go fund me for groceries. If I can't afford them, then I don't expect anyone who would give enough of a shit to donate to a go fund me for my groceries, can either.
The domain name of his website was about him all along
