The Extra Life Charity Award — Raise awareness for children's hospitals through gilding!

Posted by sodypop

**TL;DR** Today we launched [an Extra Life Award](https://i.redd.it/4xw2jtnwlqu31.png) to help raise money and awareness for [Extra Life](https://www.extra-life.org/listnook), a 24-hour gaming marathon charity benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! This new award is available alongside Silver, Gold, and Platinum from now through Nov. 2, and Listnook will match the first $15,000 of ALL Coins purchased during this time. [**Purchase Coins today and help support children's hospitals!**](https://www.listnook.com/coins/) Here are a few details about the limited Extra Life Award: * The award costs 500 [Coins](https://www.listnook.com/coins/)—the same cost as the Gold award * The recipient receives a week of [Premium](https://www.listnook.com/premium) and 100 coins—the same benefits as Gold! * Anyone who gives this award, I'm told, has a heart of gold! (And also a shiny, new trophy at a later date!) * Listnook will match the first $15,000 of ALL Coin purchases from now through Nov. 2. See the award here in all its snazziness: ​ https://preview.redd.it/rinm7004pwv31.png?width=570&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1bac7303a32d91eeac4b56bf7e6c3052e5bd462 **But why?** Last week [we announced](https://www.listnook.com/r/blog/comments/dmj0sb/join_us_in_supporting_extra_life_a_24hour_gaming/) our 8th year partnering with Extra Life for our favorite annual tradition: playing ~~24~~ 25 hours of video games to help raise money for sick kids. We're not doing this alone! Thanks to some truly heroic listnookors, we have already raised over $40,000 of our $150,000 goal! However, we recognize not everyone can relinquish the majority of their weekend to play video games (we totally had other plans, we swear). We made this award to make it easier for even more people to get involved and help support one of our favorite charity events. Have the opposite problem? If your wallet is feeling thin, you can also help by signing up to fundraise! Check out [our recent post](https://www.listnook.com/r/blog/comments/dmj0sb/join_us_in_supporting_extra_life_a_24hour_gaming/) for more details about joining Team Listnook. **Reminder: Extra Life Game Day is November 2nd!** On this coming Saturday a raiding party of staffers here at Listnook HQ will be streaming our fundraising efforts live on our [Twitch stream](https://www.twitch.tv/listnook). Tune in and join us for 25 hours of mind-melting gaming and delirious, sleep-deprived antics. From Fortnite to Untitled Goose Game, we'll be playing a variety of games, so join us and you may even get to play head-to-head against an admin in your favorite game!

I have a questions that I haven't seen posted or answered. I game pretty frequently. But I don't really stream or have any followers on there. How would I earn money for the cause if there aren't any donors? Also, would I have to play the entire 24 hours or would a few hours count towards the cause?

Bacch Oct 31, 2019 +35
No need to stream. I don't have a following on Twitch anymore, and still raise on the order of $5,000 each year via social media and email campaigns. I've done things in the past to demonstrate my commitment to the cause like getting the Extra Life logo tattooed on my arm, and traveling to the annual Extra Life United conference in Florida to compete for my hospital. My friends and family know how much it means to me, and over the 7 years I've been doing it, I've personally raised nearly $40,000, not to mention recruiting a few dozen friends to run their own campaigns. No need to play the full 24 hours, nor do you need to do it all in one sitting. You also don't have to do it November 2nd. You just make a pledge to do what you're comfortable with. If you game anyway, schedule it out and do a few hours a day until you hit 24 over the course of a week or something. Stream it for just your friends and family if you want, or don't. The real win is raising awareness and some funds for the cause. Set realistic goals (this might be old info at this point, but the average Extra Lifer raises $100, or did as of a few years ago). If you sign up for Platinum, there are some fun things you get at different milestones, like decals, phone cases, or at higher levels a t-shirt and eventually medals (like actual medals mailed to you that are pretty bad ass). You can also select your local hospital or just fundraise generally for CMN if you don't have a preference.

Most people reach out to family and friends to ask for donations and support. Even if you cannot play for the full 24 hours, any amount you're able to raise helps! Since Extra Life is open to fundraising through the entire year, some people stream every weekend or cut up the 24 hours across multiple days.

Thanks a lot. I know a bunch of people who can support this. I'll make sure to play myself and let my friends know! This is an amazing cause, and I really like that I can contribute by doing what I love - game!

Check/post to the sublistnook for your area. There are a lot of Extra life events going on that are publicly available. I know there is Denver. I currently live in Cincinnati, and I found a place that has a pretty large group (100ish) that does board games for the entire 25 hours. A lot of groups are also posting them to Meetup.com

$15,000?!!! What’s that as a percentage of your quarterly revenue? Your top 3 executives net worth? Great PR stunt /s Edit: why don’t you just pay the full $30k and get the PR you want instead of asking the working class to foot half the bill for your marketing campaign?
211
[deleted] Oct 31, 2019 +114
I agree with you. Sucks your getting downvoted into oblivion when it’s a valid complaint. Though a shit on of corporations do shit like this. I just feel like not enough listnookors recognize Listnook for what it is. An enormous social media corporation. And for the down voters seriously just imagine the quarterly revenue. I’ve seen small businesses donate this to their communities. Look at the matches your local businesses are doing for your sports teams when they score ‘x’ amount of touchdowns or something like that. Edit: just so future people know, they were approaching -60 for a completely valid point..

15 grand is 15 grand. 15 grand that's 1000% of quarterly revenue has the same influence as 15 grand that's .0001% of quarterly revenue. I don't see why this affects the influence or importance of giving them 15 grand.

If you don't like it then you can also donate directly, but if you buy Listnook coins then you're buying Listnook coins, not a charity donation. The donation by Listnook is extra.
29
FreeSpeechWarrior Oct 31, 2019 +53
The bit where this gets potentially scummy is that they have an "Extra Life Reward" that if successful enough will just lead to listnook profiting and no extra money going to extra life beyond that 15k. Other than that, it's a clever way to pad their revenue numbers for investors without incurring an associated tax burden.
53
TDplay Oct 31, 2019 +23
But also if it does get that successful, then a lot of posts will show the "Extra Life Reward" rather than Gold, which means people will see this and be like "wot's dees?" and then it might lead them to discover the charity and donate.

ryanmercer Nov 1, 2019 +3
> then a lot of posts will show the "Extra Life Reward" rather than Gold, which means people will see this and be like "wot's dees?" Literally why I'm in this thread. I went to gild someone with silver in /r/lgr for their photo spelling out LGR with keyboards and googled "listnook extra life" which brought up this thread after seeing it as an option, gave them the extra life award instead and now plan to donate directly to the cause.

Look, if you don't like that Listnook admins will "only" donate 15 grand, you can go through the link provided. They're being fully transparent about it, and this is overall a great thing because it's also enormously increasing how well known the charity is. I personally had no idea they existed until now.
16
m_rockhurler Oct 31, 2019 +21
I don’t like that a company that can afford to pay the full 30 grand is manipulating users to foot half the bill to pay for their PR stunt and then virtue signaling that they’re doing something great. They’re robbing you in the name of the needy to fund their profiteering and you people eat it up
21
TDplay Oct 31, 2019 +12
We were already giving golds, if we can raise awareness as well by replacing golds with what are basically extra life promoting golds I see it as a clear win. You can quite easily go donate directly.
12
Arceus42 Nov 1, 2019 +3
If they paid $30k, everybody would be complaining that they're not paying $60k. They could have donated nothing and just said "hey we have new gold going to this cause for a couple days" and people probably would have complained less.

FreeSpeechWarrior Oct 31, 2019 +158
So just to be clear here, my purchase still goes to listnook, but you give an equal amount to the charity? This is not me giving 2x to the charity by purchasing coins correct?
158
sodypop Oct 31, 2019 +80
That is correct. We are matching coin purchases, so the money spent on coins will be matched in a donation to Extra Life. If people prefer to donate directly through Extra Life instead they can use this link instead: https://www.extra-life.org/listnook
80
FartingBob Oct 31, 2019 +163
After the first $15,000 of purchases, does Listnook just keep the whole amount of new purchases? Considering listnook gold costs listnook nothing other than transaction fees, why cap how much you will donate? Just have all revenue from extra life award purchasses go to the extra life charity?
163
tylerawn Nov 1, 2019 +58
They’re using this as a way to get more people to buy coins. The plan is that people will want to buy more because then they get to pat themselves on the back. Listnook will donate $15,000 and word it in a way that makes it seem like Listnookors spending money on Listnook are responsible for the donation. That 15k is a profitable investment for Listnook. They aren’t actually raising awareness of children’s hospitals. Most everyone is already aware of children’s hospitals.
58
MudHouse Nov 1, 2019 +21
Please explain these "childrens hospitals". Are the doctors children? Nurses? Cafe proprietors? Parking lot attendants? Is it children's, childrens', or childrens? Let's raise awareness!

sirgog Nov 1, 2019 +10
Just think of it as Listnook donating $15000 flat. Cannot imagine them selling less gold than that in the period.

Student_Arthur Oct 31, 2019 +36
Because now they earn money.

FreeSpeechWarrior Oct 31, 2019 +6
It's not that easy to separate I would expect given that purchasing rewards is often separate from purchasing coins now.
6
ChriskiV Oct 31, 2019 +9
Easy, take the amount of rewards rewarded, multiply by 500, then adjust that to whatever 500 listnook coins cost. Coins are only generated from purchased goods, so it isn't like the money hasn't already been taken in.
9
FreeSpeechWarrior Nov 1, 2019 +2
The costs are variable and not always associated with a direct purchase as coins are awarded as part of a subscription or in response to receiving a reward.
2
ChriskiV Nov 1, 2019 +2
Receiving an award and paying a sub are both products, coins being a byproduct of both. Their monetization scheme should already have this built in. Coins are only generated when someone spends money, they're part of the purchase and have monetary value regardless of their endpoint or point of origin. If their endpoint is charity, great that's just a percentage of a purchase Listnook has already received money for at a near-zero cost to their margins (Since coins already only make up a fraction of whatever is purchased, gift or personal). Instead of capping the charity at a dollar amount, they should have set a time frame and let the user base decide how much that percentage is worth. Capping it is scummy.
2
thebojan Nov 1, 2019 +32
**Please clarify further**, do 100% of the Extra Life award purchases go to Extra Life? It seems a lot of people are confused by this comment, myself included. You're making it sound it like only $15k of the Extra Life purchases are going to charity but a "matched" donation typically means the proceeds of the thing(the award in this case) goes to charity and then the company matches up to *X* amount(15k) on top of the proceeds.
32
jenniferokay Oct 31, 2019 +98
In other words, you’re passing the first 15k on, but when that cap is reached, you tell no one and keep the remaining money? Shady shady business there. No thanks.

Thanks for clarifying, I'll be sitting that out but my previous pledge offers still stand: https://www.listnook.com/r/blog/comments/dmj0sb/join_us_in_supporting_extra_life_a_24hour_gaming/f51clqp/ * I'll pledge $1000 if you provide official support for optional public mod logs. It can even be redesign only. * I'll pledge $1000 if you re-open r/listnook.com or r/profileposts (1k max, not 2k for both) * I'll pledge $500 if you unban r/uncensorednews and transfer it to a moderator who will in good faith run it as a minimally moderated news focused sublistnook These would be donations made direct to extra life under listnook's team.

beenoc Oct 31, 2019 +25
That last $500 really can't happen, because "minimally moderated" and "good faith news-focused" don't really go well together.

My previous pledge offers also still stands. I will donate twice as much ($5,000) if it is explicitly stated by the admins that none of these things will ever happen.

Just get unhealthily addicted to one game at a time and steam sales won't tempt you. That's what I did with WoW and then League of Legends and then Rocket League and now League of Legends again. You'll save money on all those c**** games and all you'll lose is your sanity and all your relationships.

> Just get unhealthily addicted to one game at a time Right now, that game for me is Persona 3 FES. Best Persona game I've played or watched to date (haven't played Persona 5: The Royal since I don't know Japanese, though). It's an older game, but there are several aspects (including, but not exclusively, the story) from the game that I wish P4, P4 Golden, and P5 implemented. Aside from that, I absolutely love the soundtrack and can't get enough of people streaming/ playing the game.

Terkala Oct 31, 2019 +4
It's a trap. This is just listnook dodging taxes and making money off users. If people donate 200k, only 15k goes to charity. And listnook gets to write off 15k in donations as a tax break.
4
[deleted] Oct 31, 2019 +152
Lol, this is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever seen. . You are asking listnookors to cover the cost of your "donation" by being a unnecessary middle-man to the actual charity. So, now you don't have to pay a dime while seeming like an altruistic company, even though you've clearly shown you're fine with keeping around dangerous alt-right sublistnooks if they buy a lot of gold. Also for a multi-millionaire dollar enterprise, 15k is pretty damn meager. How many more times do your execs make than that? I guess you guys have the bar that low so you can keep a majority of the "donations". Pretty scummy, to be honest. Sadly though, I know listnookors are easily departed with their money and this'll be very successful. For the ones who can see through this corporate c*** though, feel free to donate directly to https://www.extra-life.org/. There's no reason for greedy admins to pocket your money under the veil of a good will. Edit: Well, that reward kind of proves my point I guess. I wonder if an admin gave me it just to f*** with me. Ha!
152
KianosCuro Oct 31, 2019 +18
Am confused. They say they match the first 15k. That means we donate 15k, they add 15k and the charity gets 30k. Afterwards, it's just our donations going through listnook directly to the charity (without listnook taking any of it). But a lot of people are saying listnook just donates our 15k and then keeps anything extra for themselves? Which one is true, and where's the evidence for either? I find it hard to believe they would do the latter, it would ruin their public presence if they did that. But I can't say anything without evidence. Edit: I think I found the comment where they say it is indeed the latter. That's pretty scummy. Not because I believe they owe the world more donations, but because they misleadingly used the phrase "matching a donation".
18
Snay Oct 31, 2019 +41
https://www.listnook.com/r/announcements/comments/dpqd0z/comment/f5xkokl Right there, they're not even doubling your donation as I read it. You're buying coins, they're taking the money. They'll give 15k to charity and pretend that extra life are getting more. Pretty scummy by the looks of it.
41
KianosCuro Oct 31, 2019 +14
Yeah, I just got to that comment as well and edited mine. Really scummy simply because they aren't doing what they are saying in the main post. To match a donation doesn't mean to middle-man it and pocket the excess. A shame, the main idea itself is a really good way to popularise the charity.

NeoHenderson Oct 31, 2019 +38

[Almost multi-billion](https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/31/listnook-worth-1-point-8-billion.html), FYI (and this was two years ago). They're paying with their users' donated money up to .000083% of their total value (likely less, given the outdated article). For comparison, if you had a net worth of $100,000, this would be the equivalent of asking your friend for money so you can donate it to charity, only to turn around and donate 8¢ and pocket the rest for yourself. https://www.extra-life.org/ This is their website if you want to donate instead of using Listnook as a middle-man.

This is such a shitstain of a cash grab by listnook. Please don't waste money on made up internet products. Donate directly to a charity or go out yourself and help people and love people. Listnook exists to make money, it is not a passion project that needs your support.

This blows my mind. Listnook is worth billions and will *"match" $15,000.* Odds are, they already paid $15000 and are being compensated for it. That, all the while propping up the notion that donations from regular people are needed to fund social construct. Shame on you, Listnook.

Yep. Listnook is literally looking to profit from advertising a charity. And how convenient there's no word on giving a final tally of all the donations. It would look pretty bad to get an exact number of how much the admins pocketed.

Way to exploit people's goodwill by matching only a tiny amount of money in donations, and not telling people when it is met. Screw you.

Yum_catshit Nov 1, 2019 +15
So we give listnook money so they can give it to someone else? Yeah right. Let’s just spend it on penny candy and whistles. Why don’t we just give it directly to the charity.

[deleted] Nov 1, 2019 +10
What a bunch of scumbags. They’re just passing the money they get on and even then the only the first $15,000. Anything donated above $15,000 and they keep. Someone should really publicize this in the media.

I'll roughly copy-paste my comment from elsewhere in the thread: [As of 2017, Listnook was worth $1.8 billion.](https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/31/listnook-worth-1-point-8-billion.html) They're paying with their users' donated money up to .000083% of their total value (likely even less, given the outdated article) and pocketing the rest. For comparison, if you had a net worth of $100,000, this would be the equivalent of asking your friend for money so you can donate it to charity, only to turn around and donate 8¢ and pocket the rest for yourself. Note: I use the analogy of a "friend" loosely; no billion+ dollar company has ever been or will ever be your friend. https://www.extra-life.org/ This is their website if you want to donate instead of using Listnook as a middle-man. Edit: Well, I should've seen that coming. Hopefully that was within the $15,000 threshold so it went to Extra Life.

Your information is outdated. > Listnook has also joined the ranks of Silicon Valley’s so-called unicorns, raising $300 million this year in an investment round led by China’s Tencent Holdings Ltd., giving it a valuation of about $3 billion. https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-10-05/listnook-where-chaos-thrives-tries-to-clean-up-to-attract-dollars-from-big-brands

> As of 2017, Listnook was worth $1.8 billion. A valuation does not mean they have 1.8 billion sitting in a bank account, or that they are netting 1.8 billion a year, or that their assets are worth 1.8 billion, it means investors perceive them to be worth 1.8 billion.

> Listnook will match the first $15,000 of ALL Coins purchased during this time. I might be confused, but is it really "matching" if the initial $15,000 goes to listnook rather than the hospitals? Am I confused, or can you just donate straight to the hospital and achieve the same charitable results without any $15,000 limit? Is this listnook saying, "Donate to us instead of to charity, and we'll give *some* of it to charity!"? I feel like I must be misreading this. If I spend $5 on gold, does the charity get more than $5?

I'm on the official Listnook Android app and disabled all the "trending" announcements for subs I'm not part of. Why did I still get a notification for this? Edit: Nvm. I found "announcements" at the end of my notifications settings. Didn't get the Listnook security report the other day, so it's clearly selective it a useless-to-me way. I've disabled it now. That's the third time I've had to disable a different "c*** that Listnook thinks it will profit from presenting me with" setting.

It's kind of sad how a lot of people are saying this is greedy of them and blah blah, they are trying to do a good thing, and you don't have to over do it for it to count as something. Listnook didn't have to do this, they didn't have to do a charity event. But they did, and because some of y'all feel it's not enough you get upset, why are some of you gatekeeping charity? Is there supposed to be a set amount before you can say "yup this is good." I think they are doing good.

Yemen, the capital of Taiz province, is the country's first most populous province. It was a source of cognitive and cultural radiation, the cultural capital of Yemen, and was nominated as the Arab Capital of Culture for 2020.   Site   Taiz is located southwest of Yemen, 256 kilometers south of the Yemeni capital Sana'a, in the lap of Jabal Sabr, which is about 3,000 meters above sea level. The city has a mild climate for most of the seasons.   Population   Taiz province is the first in the country in terms of population, and according to a census issued in 2009, the population of the whole province 2.727 million people, exceeding 12.16% of the total population of the country.   Economy   The city's inhabitants employed its privileged position and its diverse terrain in its development and promotion of it economically and socially, so they paid much attention to tourism due to the city's ancient history and its many tourist attractions.   History   Companion Moaz bin Jabal may Allah be pleased with him to Taiz messenger of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him to the people of Yemen in the eighth year of migration, and was based to spread Islam in the rest of the country.   The city was called "Adenah", and then known as "Taiz" in the late sixth century AH corresponding to the twelfth century AD, after the arrival of Turan Shah Ayyubi in Yemen in 1173 AD, it is said that the old city of Taiz is located on the outskirts of the Citadel of Cairo.   Taiz was the capital of the Apostolic State (AH 626–858 / AD 1226–1454) and flourished. The Ottomans arrived in 1516 and stayed there until 1918, and became the capital of Imam Ahmad Yahya Hamid al-Din between 1948 and 1962.   Despite its important location on the trade route linking it to the west and Aden to the south and Sana'a to the north, the city remained fairly small.It was only outside the fence under Imam Ahmad Yahya that it stretched out closer to Sana' a to Aden, the international port and then prosperous British colony.   Landmarks   Taiz flourished during the Apostolic and First Ottoman periods.The mosques, schools, pulpits and fortifications of the era are the most important monuments and historic monuments in Yemen, including the Cairo Citadel on the northern foot of Jabal Sabr overlooking the ancient city of Taiz, a site dating back to pre-Islamic times. It was renovated and renamed as the seat of the triumphant apostolic king.   Also included are the city wall, its great door, Bab Moussa, the Ashrafieh school, the al-Moatabiya school, the al-Muzaffariyah school, and the Palace Palace.   Jabr Sabr is an important landmark in Taiz, the second highest mountain in Yemen. Other landmarks are the Jund al-Jund market in Taiz, which is comparable to what was known before the Okaz market, and al-Jund mosque, which is said to be the remains of the old city of Jund, built by Sahabi Maaz ibn Jabal in the sixth year AH (360 AD) by order of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is the oldest mosque in the country and one of the oldest mosques in Islam.

Nice! On my 7th year as an Extra Lifer myself. Was on Team Listnook my second year (raised nearly $14,000 that year), but since then founded my own team when a friend lost their daughter to cancer--we do it in her name now. One of my friends works at Listnook, so last time I was out that way she took me by the office and I got to see the cool little shrine to Extra Life in the lobby and got a couple of Listnook Extra Life stickers that I keep meaning to stick on my PC.
