What drove me away from ever donating to Wikipedia again was that they asked me to put them in my will. For when I die. Absolutely disgusting. It reminds me of that one character from Glengarry Glen Ross.

Why is that disgusting? That's an extremely common revenue stream for charities. I know some charities where the majority of their income is derived from wills.

It's a jarring, off-putting email to receive after making your first ever online donation.

Consider the situation where someone who’s geriatric and potentially losing their mental faculties is getting hit with messages like that. Catch them at the wrong moment and they could well change their will, despite it not being what they would have wanted.

		If the person is geriatric and losing their mind, there is much worse on the internet than a suggestion about their will when making a donation.
