I was browsing Facebook on my mobile device, and came across a button like the one above, asking me to donate.
This came across to be very surprising to me, and almost ruined my mobile experience. I can see that there’s a huge opportunity to fundraise through Facebook users, but this also reflects on why many users are leaving Facebook now a days. The Facebook experience have gone from a simple feed, all over the place, and now with plenty of ads, targeted posts, and now a donate button.
It’ll be interesting to see where this donate button takes us, and how effective it will be! For me personally though, it ruins the overall Facebook user experience for me. But then again, Facebook has become such a crucial part to my online life that I won’t be leaving Facebook just because of this.
