yes, i'd become aware of such sites a few years ago because of a friend that had been doing it a lot, and recommended it to me. I decided i didn't want to be a part of it, even thought i had subscriptions to both thehungersite.com and redjellyfish.com, because rather than actually doing anything, it turned into a perversion of a rational that all these clicks were, in the end, significant.
if these people truly do what they claim, then what a wonderful service it is. personally, i doubt it. i'm still convinced that it won't bring you redemption, since you think you're doing good in the world (keeping faith ultimately in the hands of strangers and the goodness of humanity) just by sitting and clicking for a while on a few dozen websites. how interesting humanitarianism has become in the age of the internet.
instead, woudn't it be better just to starve yourself one cup of food every time you open IE? i think it would be the equivalent to clicking a button on a website.
