it's been a few days now but I still can't help but think, "what if I didn't unpublish the givesendgo."
on that first night Scott tweeted it out, people actually donated and I was surprised, after all, it was mostly made in jest. I got overly excited and decided to add my bank info to my account, but as soon as I did so, it added my full legal name to the donation page with no way to change or remove it. givesendgo had essentially doxed me to all of my 4chan friends.
I googled my name as it appeared to see what the damage was, and sure enough, you could find a full list of my family members, my work history, even my address and phone number. I felt completely exposed. It was only a matter of time before someone would seize that opportunity.
going through the support portal on givesendgo, I found the only way to obfuscate my identity was with a support ticket. support got back to me and said the change would take time and the only way to hide my name while my request was processed was to unpublish the campaign.
at that point Scott's tweet had around ~200 views.
support didn't get back to me again until the following morning, and it still took some back and forth before they finally hid my name. by that time Scott's tweet had over 7000 views, meaning everybody between 200 and 7000 would have just seen an unpublished givesendgo. not that there's any guarantee any of them would have donated, but I can't help but think, what if?
since republishing, there hasn't been a single donation, or even a prayer. was I overly concerned about my identity leaking? did givesendgo cuck me or did I cuck myself? should I have just left my name on it? would I be closer to a PS5 so I can play Death Stranding 2?
regardless it was cool Scott shouted me out and I'm thankful for the donos I did receive. thanks for reading my blog. new Scott wallpaper unlocked. keep on scottyrocking
