This means people will mostly give their money to the loudest charities that spend the most on marketing, not on their actual effectiveness. Boring yet important projects will get almost nothing with this model. Don't make the economist mistake of assuming that people are perfectly rational actors.

Surely no private company would ever do something as unseemly as threatening someone’s livelihood in order to extract payment.
