#2I worked for Change circa 2010 ~ 2011. Interesting to see how their revenue model has changed.
IIRC they were previously making money by building email lists for non-profits and other orgs that would essentially contract Change to get them exposure.
From what I read here, seems that wasn't really working out. Not sure what to make of becoming it a crowdfunding platform.

Yep, so much spam from change.org after signing a petition, had to unsubscribe

#4Is sama investing as an individual or is he investing through y combinator somehow?
If it's as an individual this can be interpreted as further proof that he is positioning himself to run for governor of cali in a future election.

#5I would like to see a world where petitions are much more taken into account. Unfortunately, for many leaders, they are not taken seriously.
I hope Change.org can do something about this.

#6I wish there was a TLD that was regulated such that only a legitimate not for profit organization could have it, similar to .edu. Change having a .org TLD is incredibly misleading. It's not a non-profit, and no, B corporations do not count.

Change.org could remedy this by adding a feature that would Mail, Email and or Phone the person and or group . If you would do this people would take it seriously.

There has to be a progression in order for leaders to take them seriously. It has to start with a petition, but there has to be something that happens if the petition gains critical mass but leaders don't acknowledge it. It has to go from petitions to protests and electoral losses at the very least.
If it stays a petition, it's much too easy to ignore.

#9Every time when Bill Gates kind of people invest on something, my alarm bells start to ring. Something is not right.
Agenda will change for sure, investors will change the company.

I too get annoyed when people don't abide by history as I know it.
Then realize it's a silly thing to waste focus on and move along.
