Hope they fix(ed) it.

PBS is not a producer, but rather a distributor of programming.

This is not about being outside the US or using a VPN. This is about the pain of having to repeatedly log in.
No thanks. I'm here for science, and if your writers are mostly people primarily concerned with making sure they bow at the alter in every single video, I'm 100% out. It's like watching a cooking video produced by a Christian group that works Jesus into chopping carrots.

I guess you could call that "white people guilt" but you could also say that it's valuable context that the impacts of climate change can be exasperated by economic and national policies.
You mean "exacerbated".
The explanation posits that this was only possible due to the multiplier of the rapidly expanding British empire. It is not posited as British/white people are bad, it is posited as society, politics and trade creating a multiplier effect. The whole point of this section in the video is to setup the final chapter of the video, asking the question, "Could this happen again?", which feels like a valid question given that society, politics, and trade have exponentially evolved since the 19th century.
This section of the video is portrayed so agnostically that I felt compelled to reply to your vague criticism.
Here is the video linked to the timestamp of the aforementioned section, which is only around 2 minutes long, so others can pass their own judgement: https://youtu.be/69o-8Mtd3Kc&t=330
Not sure how you can be here for the science if you're not willing to be here for the history.
1. 1877 was less than 150 years ago, not 300.
2. That year had the strongest El Nino in recorded history.
3. Talking about why so many people died - political and economic mismanagement, essentially - is valid.
Do you feel personally guilty about colonialism?
If yes, you shouldn't. It's not your fault.
If no, then why do you care about someone reciting relevant facts?
Is it? One of the requirements is "No goods or services were given for this donation."
Or maybe they're lying, but I'm going with what the receipt says.
That said, If the gift is insubstantial in value it’s allowable. Or they’re supposed to give you a statement of the value and you have to deduct the donation less value amount. My thought is maybe the content is or will be free and the app is just a convenient portal to consume it. So one would claim it’s rather insubstantial. But to be honest, no auditor would really dig too deep into a donation to PBS.
