GoFundYourself

GoFundMe is generally a well-intentioned platform. While brainstorming ideas for a new concept, I browsed through the website and found that most fundraisers were for good causes. However, I did notice a few that were suspiciously vague and not necessarily something you'd want to donate money to.

This got me thinking: What if there was a button on GoFundMe that people could use to indicate they disagree with funding a particular cause? We could call it "GoFundYourself," and it could serve as a metric for how unrealistic or misguided a fundraiser might be.

It's not a practical or particularly kind idea, but sometimes a bit of wondering is all it takes to spark a "What If" idea. And who knows? It might even lead to more constructive ideas for improving crowdfunding platforms in the future!
