Do you think you would've given that few more times without them saying anything though? For every person that stops donating because of an ad there's definitely even more people who hadn't even considered donating who now are.
Soliciting is a necessary evil because in an "out of sight out of mind" world, most people aren't going to even know you exist unless you remind them you do.
I’m not even sure if this is unpopular but I agree with it >

Also gets annoying hearing donation calls when you already donated. >

It’s not even money, either. I wish I had never given the Red Cross my number. It is constantly after my blood. >

I get annoyed being asked to donate whenever I go to the store >

Seeing how nonprofits in my town are run makes me unlikely to donate, lol.
501(c)3 really needs a crackdown. >

I’m there with the Red Cross. I know people need blood, and mine’s some good O+, but fuck off with the five per week thick glossy ads in my mailbox and drowning my email in begging & pleading. >

Huh I wonder if that maybe varies by country then, I've donated to Wikipedia as well and I only get a mail about it once a year which I do like otherwise I would forget, if I did get them several times a year though like you said then yeah, I think I'd get pretty annoyed too. >

This cannot be an unpopular opinion.
I absolutely HATE those people on the street working for those Organisation trying to get you to donate- I know it’s for a good cause, but they often act like they’re entitled to your time, they follow you for a few steps and are snarky when you tell them you don’t have time.
Once a guy even grabbed my arm and said “now listen to me!”
F*cker 
I shook him off and kept walking. 
Is rather donate directly to the Organisation  than indirectly supporting one of those entitled idiots. >

Good point OP. Before I donate, I need to remind myself, this is not a one time thing 😭😭😭 >

This is surely a popular opinion. I don’t think anyone likes being harassed by a charity to give them their money.
However, it actually doesn’t make people less likely to donate. The reason that they do it is because it works. If it didn’t work they wouldn’t do it. 
Most people will simply be annoyed by it, but some small percentage of people are quite sensitive to forms of social pressure and will feel obligated to make a donation. 
It’s not a very nice thing to do. It is essentially a form of emotional manipulation being used to exploit people who struggle to say no. >

i cant watch a twitch charity stream it's so annoying the practically begging for money
