    If you’re donating valuable anything to a for-profit organization, you should be compensated.

      So you’re saying it’s better that you donate plasma to companies that sell it to silicon valley bros at the highest bidder than donating for free to the red cross and having it going to a hospital?

          Thank you! I envy your imagination though in thinking that the red cross can donate the blood plasma to hospitals while also paying the donors a bunch of money. Seems like it would cut into the other important work the red cross does just so they can compete with for profit companies that sell the plasma to the highest bidder where it goes to tech companies wasting it on fake anti-aging cures. But what do I know.
