We already have enough ways to be reached (or marketed to) from both non profits and for profits. Sure, your message might be for a great cause, but your cause isn't the only great one out there, and I'm already on info overload. If the message isn't coming from a friend or contact, I am unlikely to look at it with any special attention. Lately, a few people have DM'd me on Twitter about "x" they are advertising. I find it so annoying that I don't just ignore them, I even block them. It's enough of a turn off to end that already casual relationship. In the end, you're right, it's about the value within the message, not forcing it down my feed. I very much agree with your post, Peter.
