The Smile.Amazon program was pretty rad. I managed to contribute some extra funds to the EFF and talked a few friends into picking them as their charity too. I think the EFF received almost a million dollars from that program. Then one day Amazon was like “nah, we hate helping people” and just cancelled the program.
They said it didn’t have as big of an impact as they had hoped, so they were cancelling it. A rational person would say “it’s not as impactful as we want, so we’re improving it”, but big corporations are all about killing projects.

I stopped seeing things about it but I didn’t even realize they killed it. What a shame.
