Blackhawk provided a link for the story from the front page. I didn't because I couldn't post a link from my phone at the time.Of note is that the OP is not sourced. It is a blank claim with nothing to support it.
Further, the OP also does not seem to understand what swim is getting at or the fact that the 90 percent figure is entirely meaningless without the context of what it means. A measly 9 people could have donated a dollar and one person the rest and that could be '90 percent of donations are under a hundred bucks' but is a completely different scenario than 100 thousand people donating various amounts and 10 thousand donating a larger amount.
Part of the confusion might center around the fact that there was never actually a point articulated with the 90 percent figure - it was just left out there as though it speaks for itself.
Well, it does not. If you think it means something billy then why don't you actually articulate WHAT you think it means and logically fit that number into that point.
It's completely ridiculous to assume 9 people donated a $1 considering the maximum donation per person is 2,700. 90% of donations of under 100 indicates many individual people donated money as low as a $1. Why is that so hard to believe? It also matters because as the source says the campaign had set a goal for 100 million by the end of the year. She raised 45 million in 3 months.
