Triggerhappy938@cwgabriel Does that mean you don't want any of the money I made selling photocopies of your comics?Nov 21, 2011
FreakinMike@cwgabriel Do what
Straub is doing. He's collecting money for
Kachingle, and he's going to give them 5% of
it.Nov 21, 2011
punk1984@cwgabriel Don't need
to read the article. Know from the haircut:
nuts.Nov 21, 2011
taniz@cwgabriel What's with
the picture of him? He's holding a corded
phone. Do people still use those?Nov 21, 2011
that_liam@cwgabriel Well he
can... its just up to you to sue his ass.Nov 21, 2011
awaxman@cwgabriel @Kachingle the way in
which they claim to pay authors directly also
makes no sense...I doubt they have ever paid
anyone.Nov 21, 2011skrattybones@cwgabriel I love how he thinks he invented the common bribe. That's what that is, is it not?Nov 21, 2011
OvietheBulldog@cwgabriel @Kachingle With no
agreement, how do they get you the funds?
Send you a note with which park bench the
paperbag will be under?Nov 21, 2011
kirbyu@cwgabriel @Kachingle that is the
weirdest creepiest business model ever.Nov 21, 2011
MalloryDuVal@cwgabriel Ed Begley,
Jr is the CEO of Kachingle?Nov 21, 2011
Skt_Thomas@cwgabriel I love how
the CEO of a "revolutionary" new initiative
is pictures with a phone from the 70s. Maybe
its retro?Nov 21, 2011
Metal_Link@cwgabriel @kachingle Hey Fred,
1986 called and wants their corded phone
back.Nov 21, 2011
GeekElite@cwgabriel @Kachingle There's a
name for people who collect money on another
person's behalf without their consent: con
artists.Nov 21, 2011
Scott Kurtz@cwgabriel @kachingle The two
things I doubt the most: 1) they have users.
2) those users demanded to be able to give
"right away."Nov 21, 2011
Anlysia@cwgabriel Just set up
a charity bin at a mall with a sign that says
"85% of this money will go to charity" and
see how well that goes.Nov 21, 2011
Zumaki@cwgabriel It's
especially ridiculous that they decided
unilaterally how much of a cut to take for
themselves. No negotiations whatsoever.Nov 21, 2011
seekul@cwgabriel How would
you say he compares to the Netflix CEO? I
think we need a CEO Nutbar Scale that
Business Colleges can refer to. #ouchNov 21, 2011
PenLlawen@cwgabriel You know
Kachingle ain't the first at this rodeo,
right? You've checked out Readability? And
(less sleazy) Flattr?Nov 21, 2011
jelmore@cwgabriel The part I
love is where @Kachingle says "If we
can't reach the website owner or they
decline, we'll give the money to charity."Nov 21, 2011
Scott Kurtz@cwgabriel @kachingle in the
event that they just do not respond, we
can...exercise our right to donate their
money to...charity.Nov 21, 2011
jelmore@cwgabriel If @Kachingle can't give
the money to the intended recipient, they
should refund it to the user. Period.Nov 21, 2011
AlexDellicolli@cwgabriel surely it's
still fraud due to the fact it's your IP, and
though they might joy be using your logo,
people still give as it's youNov 21, 2011
ChrisWarcraft@cwgabriel What do you
mean you don't want @Kachingle to leach off
your hard won fame so they can grab some
cash?! That's un-'Murican!!Nov 21, 2011
soulsonant@cwgabriel But but...if
i accept money for you, i can forget to tell
you and keep it for ME! wait that came out
wrong...i'm honest I swear!Nov 21, 2011
oculusmortis@cwgabriel @kachingle Can I set up
a site that will accept donations on the
behalf of kachingle?Nov 21, 2011
ramtower@cwgabriel I love that
photo. "I'm so busy profiting off all you
hard-working websites that I can't even stop
to take a photo!"Nov 21, 2011
revfajita@cwgabriel This isn't
revolutionary, its how United Way works only
this guy has no standards for who can receive
funds and how.Nov 21, 2011
Aster0th@cwgabriel @kachingle of course he
can, as long as he's not defrauding people.
seems honest even if the ethics are
questionableNov 21, 2011Rliyen@cwgabriel I'm surprised that they have not been sued into OBLIVION a la Righthaven. It's downright stupid business model they're running.Nov 21, 2011
Jasonimusprime@cwgabriel That's...
inventively nutty. And 'kachinglers'? That's
what dangles under a dickerdoodle, right? #dickerdoodledangleNov 21, 2011
Jeverage@cwgabriel @Kachingle When
promoting an internet company, a picture of
your CEO with my dad's glasses and a wired
phone doesn't help.Nov 21, 2011
deadlyfirevial@cwgabriel @kachingle "we are just
the middleman" Yeah! Which is exactly what
content creators DON'T WANT ANOTHER OF!Nov 21, 2011
GenXer@cwgabriel I'd beg to
differ. You can certainly refuse donations,
but it's within anyone's right to offer
donations to anyone, for anyone.Nov 21, 2011shroudedrob@cwgabriel @kachingleNov 21, 2011
shroudedrob@cwgabriel @kachingle People want to give to the Salvation Army. I'll start ringing a bell & take 15% off the top! That's ethical, right?Nov 21, 2011
snaddonredford@cwgabriel But I wanted to give some guy with a corded phone $0.16 to give to you sometime. What will I do now?Nov 21, 2011
epanzeter@cwgabriel Just look at
that creepy CEO's face in that "I'm just so
busy!" Photo and it screams, "Creep!"Nov 22, 2011
