Comment on Humble Bundle - John Scalzi collection benefiting World Central Kitchen in ~books
d32 LinkI despise humble bundle since they removed the option to freely adjust the target split of the money.

Look at the default here:
Default Donation
€13.75 to Macmillan Publishers €1.25 to World Central Kitchen €10 to HumbleExtra to Charity
€11.87 to Macmillan Publishers €3.75 to World Central Kitchen €9.37 to HumbleThat's some extra! Charity still gets 3x less than the "humble".
Even if you choose a custom split, there's a minimum of 7.5 to them.
