What makes us give? The Wikipedia example

A life working for not-for-profits means constantly thinking of new and innovative ways to encourage people to dip their hands into their pockets (just a little bit deeper, please). While I love the idea of people giving based on informed decisions and gratitude, this little Wikipedia experiment shows that guilt and gore are here to stay.

NB to well-meaning charity, the ‘poverty porn’ approach is still not okay.
